Thread: Are you a manly man or a girly man?

PICK YOUR BATTLES

What utter nonsense! This has nothing to do with manliness. Odd sort of manliness that depends on how the opposite sex is approached.

That said, I'll add two things:
- women actually seem favour a degree of caddishness
- I'm single

Kind of a funny post, dude

Please elaborate - I see no inconsistency. There may be a correlation twix the two last remarks (and yes, that's what I suggested) but I do not see how that bears on my manliness. That's exactly the point.

We could refrase as:
- all manly man bully their wife
And thus:
- a gentleman who's a gentleman to his wife too can't be a manly man
- a gay man can't be a manly man
- a single man can't be a manly man

You see? That's preposterous!

I think there's something very wrong with a society that determines your level of manliness along a scale where your only options are to have no balls, lose your balls, or be a brow-beating jerk.

Same here. I give it to her straight most times, and then she lets me have it too. Seems fair to me.

Guys, don't jack around with your wife. While you sleep at night she has access to your meat choppers!

This was actually intended to be on the funny side. I had no idea anyone would be offended.

VeeDubb65, Some men do things because it pleases their significant other. When we first start dating we do this as it might get us laid. These same men, later on in life will do this so they can live in relative peace! To my way of thinking this is not manly but rather selfish and self serving.
There are men who will treat their significant other very poorly. they will do as they please and say what they please with no regard to their spouse or their relationship. It's a wonder that any women stay with such a man. This sort is not a man either.
It seems to me that a man will regard the relationship and the woman in all of his actions and words he will also consider what is right, proper and honorable and will speak his mind as needed to bring the two ideas, the relationship and what is right, proper and honorable to do, into alignment with each other. His intent will not be to hurt or get what he wants. It is a delicate walk but if a man gives up his integrity and what is good and proper to do for the sake of a relationship and a womans approval then what kind of man is he. And can such a relationship stand the test of time?

Be assured: I was not. Just speaking my mind frankly

And matt321's contribution is funny!

All of it - I meant my response in the most light-hearted way...I'm laughing at the total condition.
