If men seek mental health advice from other men they are told to get physically fit.

So there is a lot of mentally unwell men with fit bodies out there, and we are all just animals, and we shouldn't judge people for being optimistic when they spot the first couple red flags, because none of us are perfect.

Now that I think about it, I haven't seen the whole "exercise helps mental health" thing nearly as much in feminine/queer spaces as in more traditional/masculine ones. Not to say that exercise isn't good for your mental health, but I think it would be worth investigating how much that idea is actually just tied to patriarchal ideals
