well I don't like to brag
but I hear all the time I am from a dying breed
the only thing my Dad ever drilled into me was hard work and family
and man supports and defends his family (though he sucked at defending me ,,but thats OK I got good at it on my own )
I think the words "Real Men " can mean different things to different people
So I clarify it ,,I am in the class called an alpha male
We don't give up our positions on the food chain
you have to be man enough to take it
So far at almost 60 and with a bad back
no one who knows me questions if I can still hold my own ,,
I shouldn't say this but I will
It does still feel good when little boys thinking they are men oversteps their bounds ,,,and the look on their face when this old man shows them the line they better get back behind LOL (not often ,but once in a while I still give lessons on manners and respect )
