if a "man's man" is someone that drinks beer, watches football, yells at his "bitch" to make him a damn sandwich, works construction making shit money, watches war movies, and all that bullshit, than no thanks, I'd rather be a human being than a "man". Sorry if I like to drink wine, listen to jazz and read poetry. I'm not trying to prove my masculinity. I'm actually comfortable with what and who I am. Imagine that. I think if we stopped focusing on being "manly" (which is a completely archaic and obsolete notion anyway) and instead focused on acting humanly, I think things would change for the better. Or we could all go back to manual labor, slam hammers, and be "manly" grunts without a mind. this manly idea is what I was raised in and it is fucked up. why work so hard to be a stereotype. Most women don't want a manly man to beat her every night he comes home drunk from the bar after hanging out with his buddies and watching sports. There's a difference between a man with confidence that does what he likes (even if it's picking goddamn flowers) and a man that does what he thinks men should do. think for yourselves.
no, the problem with this discussion is the viewpoint that anything feminine is bad. Even the OP's use of the words wuss and pussy illustrate that the real issue is that anything feminine has been demonized by our society and has become undesirable. It started way way back when the Romans decided to embrace Christianity and turn it into a tool of oppression, made the feminine aspect of Creation something Evil, and turned God into Father, and it's apparently still alive and well today. Real men can accept those aspects of themselves that are "womanly" rather than try to prove to anyone how much of a man they are.
the duscussion shouldnt be about how to act like a real man..but how to act like a real human.. humans who treat eachother with respect.. no matter theyre gender illmaeo & mammaboogie i totaly agree with ya both
Was that a joke? because it looks really funny with how the guys in your sig are dressed. I am very proud that I am not a "real" man. And really there are still to many idiots who fit into that stereotype around.
I fart and watch sports...does that make me manly? I hate gender stereotypes. How about we just be who we are?
thanks but i dont act like 1..we were talking about the obsolete need for men to drag women around by theyre hair & treat em like dirt..pay attention
You and that other guy brought up the "dragging a girl by the hair" stuff.Nobody is saying thats what being a man is all about.
oh enlightened 1 with the oh so manly men in your sig pic please enlighten us what it takes to be a real man does it mean calling people wuss? or lame attempts at insults? please if your the guru of manliness please add some light to the discussion so we may all bask in your manly glow
Their fucking rock stars they could dress how ever they want and they still got more pussy than you'll ever get. The Jimi hendrix Experience ring a bell? Fuck all these emo fags wearing pink dress shirts with their plucked eye brows and nail polish fuck all that!
silly boy..yes i've heard of em..but your description of a wiss fits your sig pic perfectly right? now come on, i asked you to please contribute anything inteligent here.. insults are fine for children but at your age ya should have an inteligent thought on the subject right? just 1 thought even? pink shirts are gay isnt a thought, its a mindless stereotype
Why is "bros before hos" manly? Even edited to "male friends before women" it is not a good attitude for a man. Its not a statement of gender solidarity, its a statment that "my friends are the most important thing in the world" (I've noticed that those who say "bros before hos" don't have women friends.) Its a reemphasis of the peer group over strangers. Its an acceptance of all that your friends do to others. "Us against the world" "My way or the highway" reflect similar attitudes. I find little that is admirable in those notions.
hahaha thats funny cause every girlim close with wether gf freind or sis whenever we go anywhere they love grabbin my dreads & pretendin theyre reigns..lol..& yea u can lifyt me up by em..so my dear..ya wanna be my big strong manly man? hahaha

I sooo agree with what you said. I would add on but the southern comforts gettting to my brain so I'm gonna try and bow out of it tonight. But yes. It turns out we can understand each other. But only if we're open to it
