I Think Men Should Act Like Men

When I saw the title of this group well I just couldn’t resist putting my two cents worth in. My question is where in the hell have all the men gone? When I was coming up you didn’t have to look twice in order to tell a man from a woman. Now days sometimes I don’t even try. I remember when I was a kid, when I’d shake hands with a man he’d squeeze my hand till I thought it was going to fall off. I’m proud to say I adapted the same hand shake he had. These days , I shake hands with a so called man you’d thought he was holding a baby’s hand; not to mention his wrist being limp as a dishrag. They used to call people like that sissies. If there still like that when their full grown I call them wussies. When my son was little if he fell down his mama would run over to him and baby him. I’d tell her leave em alone he’s fine. I knew if he was hurt bad, if he wasn’t I’d tell em to get up and shake it off. Five minutes later he was up playing like nothing had happened. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t some dominant brute. Nobody was a better dad than me. Anytime my kids were truly hurt, I’d be right there and help there mama nurse them back to health. But I knew if I let his mama baby him every time he fell, he’d still be looking for her after he was grown. You’re not a man just because you’re rough and strong. If you’re a real man you keep your word. You own up to your responsibilities as head of the house. A man is head of the house by nature because that’s the way God planned it. But I believe if a man doesn’t prove himself and by that I mean; working and supplying his home with everything it needs in order to be a better home. Making sure the bills are paid, the pantry is full, the kids are well clothed, as well as his wife. I’ve heard some younger men say that there are no jobs. No, there’s plenty of jobs, there just not the ones you want. I told them be a man! Swallow your stupid pride and go to work. One time things got pretty tough and I was working three jobs to make ends meet. If you’re a man you do whatever it takes to see that the needs of your home are met. I said needs not wants. You little wussies, it’s time you grow up and realize you’re old enough for your wants not to hurt you. I’ll go another step further, you got no business going to the bar after work with your buddies. You need to be home spending time with your kids and helping your wife. If you do go home after work, don’t sit your lazy ass in your recliner whining how bad your day was, and expecting your wife to bring your supper to you. You little wussy, your wife doesn’t want to hear you moan. What about her day? You probably don’t even know because you didn’t have the decency to ask her. What makes you think her day wasn’t as bad as yours? And you think that you deserve to be head of the house? For once, grow up and be a man! You’re a poor excuse for a man. In fact, you’re far from being one. Why won’t you come home and fix dinner for your family. Why won’t you tell your wife to sit down and relax while you clean the kitchen. I think it’s way past time that the young guys grow up to talk like a man, walk like a man, dress like a man and be his own man. I guess you can tell I’m a little different from some. Well if you don’t mind me saying, let’s just say that I’m a real man.
