You can see it a lot on this forum. There are a lot of spoiled, coddled men who act like girls when it comes to becoming very emotional, impulsive, irrational and catty. It turns my stomach. I can't stand being near a grown man who acts like a girl.

He will have the minuscule amount of funds available to cover this, because he can think ahead, and is mature enough to realize one cannot plan for these situations.

He can discipline his children without laying a hand on them. He can open up and talk earnestly about his feelings to someone he confides in when he needs to, and otherwise does not saddle everyone around complaining about his problems. He does need to do anything to feign a manly appearance. Real men can wear nice clothes and appreciate luxury just like women can, because they do not derive masculinity extrinsically. They can even (gasp!) drive Miatas or convertibles, if that is the car they like best
This is as good as anyone can say it.

I am a somewhat emotional person.. kinda.

Last night I thought logically. Nothing like good rough anger sex [.. if it's there, use it.]

I can't tell if you're implying this is what I think, but either way I couldn't agree more. Usually people that physically fight to solve confrontations lack maturity. This also goes along with people that use curse words when they can't think of the word they're looking for (wonder if there's a correlation?).

Aside from that, not sure why you listed what a man is, but I can say you are correct.

As for Miatas and convertibles, they can also drive 328i verts

lol. you are quoting a pick up blog. all of them are loosely worded around a topic, but never make a single point, wanting to you to know more. knowing more, usually involves paying them to seminars or some bullshit videos.

friend of mine was really into this shit (until he found a GF) and also tried to get me into it. all of that alpha-male garbage is for socially awkward

EDIT: Oh and as a music producer, some of us are socially awkward

Acting alpha won't get you far. Chicks see through that bullshit right away.

Geeeeeez! You're so harsh. Ok, first not sure how to act alpha, but I'm assuming I'm doing it.

Second, IDGAF if chicks see through me, behind me, on top or on bottom, I am who I am and my girl is one of the few woman on this planet that would matter anyway.

I'm sure you've seen the quote: "Real eyes realize real lies".

No that's not what I was implying, just further expounding my take on the subject. Directed at no one in particular

The phrase "when men were real men" or derivatives of this, especially in reference to previous, war fighting generations, is borderline offensive, especially to those who fought in wars. Anyone who thinks our veterans would prefer to have their kinship fight in a war, for the sake of "becoming a man" is either ignorant or spawn from meat heads who never actually grew up themselves. The fact their kids and grandkids have thus far been less likely to fight in the conditions many of them did should solidify, even validate participation in the wars they wars they fought in, but seeing this necessity continue is far from their desire. Invariably, this phrase seems most prone to use by younger generations in some romantic hearkening after watching a Hollywood glorification of combat.

Manual labor, similarly, is not definitive of anything other than the type of labor one does. Is working construction a tough job? Physically, very. Are many desk based professions equally challenging intellectually? Of course. All this tells us is one person creates more value for themselves (and thus the economy) utilizing varying proportions of their physical and mental capacities - one is not more a man than the other. At least in the company I work for, it's somewhat ironic that office employees will occasionally muse that it must be nice to work outside on a nice day, do an "honest" day's work, with an obvious, tangible result. Ask any field techs how they'd like to spend a sub-zero day in a heated office rather than on the roof of a skyscraper, they'd gladly take it. The grass is always greener...
