Naw, he was only interested in licking the blood from the ooze off a necrotic organ squeezed into his quivering lips.
Here is an ex employee of mine when he was an investigative reporter. I think he is a man's man... Or an idiot... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8_o1PCIPa0&feature=channel_page[/ame]
Real men are not afraid to cry or show their feelings. Real men, as mentioned, get scared. Real men don't take crap but try too difuse in a mature manner. Real men can admit when they are wrong. Real men don't say they are real men, they prove it with their actions and demeanor. As toggie said "real men standout in a crowd" but not in that pic lol!
Real men know how to smile, say you understand while shaking your head, act like you are listening while not hearing a thing a woman says. A real man has developed the ability to sit in front of the TV and not miss a beat while yelling,,,"hey, bring me a beer. You can go back and finish the dishes after you bring it to me. Oh, and bring me some chips and dip too..........., Oh, did I tell you the yard needs mowing? You need to get on that tomorrow morning and when you finish that you need to take my car down and have the oil changed and the tires rotated. I plan on sleeping in"... And if I did that my voice would go up a couple of octaves, if you know what I mean.........
I realize this thread is tongue in cheek but real men should be able to sharpen a damn knife. And I don't mean with some girlie $1200 laser guided system either. I can't tell you how often I go to someone's house and the woman is hacking away with a $150 knife that is dull as a brick and the guy has no clue how to care for it. Buying an expensive knife won't make them sharpen themselves, it makes you look like a poser. /rant
Real men knew how to properly sharpen a blade with a wet-stone before they hit first grade at least in my neck of the woods and ALOT of women these days cannot even boil water.
I've been thinking hard about this for almost 3 years since I knew I was having a boy. Now that I have to teach him how to be a real man by example & teaching its a real challenge. We have to be intelligent, masterful, courageous, strong, powerful, connected, secure while also being wise, humble, compassionate, kind, grateful and able to appreciate beauty everywhere Just a FEW things I need to teach him: Body language & how to dress to project success martial arts: Judo, boxing, jiu jitsue, weapons courage is not an the abscense of fear its dealing w fear effectively Driving & history of cars & racing mastering finance, investments, economics appreciating beauty and art everywhere being kind to animals spirituality physical training & sports history of the world, USA, family, business dealing w women which is volumes all by itself looking out for loved ones even while they are fighting you dealing w failure choosing your battles the importance of being understated choosing role models Life is like a book we write w many chapters and we need to look deep into the future to try and figure out who we want to be 30,40,50 and more years down the road It really is like being in a valley looking up at a mountain range and figuring out how to get to the peak Easy its not
Now that's what I'm talking about. I always figured that real men are the ex-boyfriend stunt-double. As in they're the ones who come in after the breakup and are wiling to do everything her ex didn't. This is where you build a legacy.
Great listing yet I think you will agree that alot if not most are instilled by building their character and self respect. Those two attributes makes us the men we are now and how we interact with society in general. Wish I had some children so I could help them be all they can be personaly and socially, still trying though!!!
What's sad is you have to even think about it. When I was growing up, I somehow knew all these things just by hanging around. For example, I don't recall my father ever telling me to never hit a girl. I just knew you didn't hit girls. But the world had changed by the time my son was born (1987). I had to tell him not to hit girls even when they hit him first, which never happened in my day. Dale
