1. Whatever do you mean?

   If you mean pain, perhaps he’s a masochist.

2. Maybe when he equates it with fulfilling a duty. Unless you’re talking about sexual enjoyment, which is something else.

3. Being in a cult, being gaslighted, being convinced that suffering is good

4. i can’t really say why i like to camp

5. What makes people post stupid questions to r/AskMen?

6. Knowing that they can/will come out better on the other side.

7. Embrace*

   We’re men, we’re built for war. Physically, mentally, spiritually.

   There’s nothing that we can’t handle.

8. Knowing the result is worth it

9. The prospect of gaining immense pleasure or revenge.

10. We’re (well, most of us) just physically attracted to women. We just have to deal with the suffering if we want to have sex and/or relationships.

11. Something positive at the end

12. The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care. Right?

13. You cant grow without suffering, but it’s when you get to a point in life where you’re main focus is self improvement that the results that you acquire from the suffering makes you curious about how far you can go and when you get to that point you’re idea of suffering changes and there’s no lookin back

14. No one enjoys suffering

15. If there is progress to be had. Like a hard workout.

16. masochism but that’s not just a man thing

17. Being born a male.
    As in you’re not eligible for happiness, your best bet is being useful, and that can involve a load of suffering
