> How about we all just chill the fuck out?

That's no option. At least for men.

Men are restless hunters and highly competitive creatures. Men thrive when taking risks, when being in a fight and when they finally won and dominate their peers. As sad it sounds this is what we need and make us happy. We can have breaks from time to time like working as dull office drones avoiding any risks and watching Youporn before bedtime but we degenerate when this state of boredom sticks for longer time. Even if Zuckerberg, its Facebook and the constant flow of successes of peers on the FB news feed drives many into depression, men need this to get out of their comfort zone and start fighting.

(Besides, I think that the original article is crap as many lifestyle advices)

You're wrong. Don't generalize. I'm a man. I'm restless sometimes, but I also need time for myself, to chill (the fuck) out. I'm also completely non-competitive - I've excelled in most things in my life by shear luck (and good genes), so I know success and I know that it doesn't mean much. I don't compare myself with others, the only person I compete with is myself, and it's not because I have a bad self-esteem and want to constantly improve myself, but because otherwise, life is boring.

Posts like yours make me want to cut off my penis and write "Eunuch" under "Sex" on my ID. But I won't, because the government won't let me first, and because I'm more of a chill kind of person, second.

Just getting your testicles removed would do the job too -- but seriously, please get some advice before doing anything.
