Are you a manly man or a girly man?

**JMS** · 05-09-2009, 06:30 PM

When I was married my wife wanted a dish washer. I told her they were attached to her wrists.

A member just replied to a thread with the above quote as part of the reply! I have always been under the impression that men don't speak to their ladies this way any more, that is except me. Well, seeing that we have a member who is willing to say such things to his wife without fear of consequences lifted my heart about men in general.
This inspired me to start a poll!

Do you speak your mind with your significant other?

Well, do you, punk?

Dignity of manners conveys a reserve of force.

+1. I am more of the "quiet man" school with my wife and children, and in general. That way, when I say something, it is heard.

I say stuff like that to her in jest, but definitely not seriously. She would punch me in my face, and IMO, rightfully so. I treat her with respect, which is, in my opinion, manly of me. So I guess I'm a manly man.

I have learned never to disregard consequence so I frequently ask, "what answer do you want from me"? and think twice about how I'll speak. She's aware of it and it sometimes infuriates her, but I keep up. The women in this family are a force to be reckoned with!

I answered "Yes, but I still lose my balls" because she can find ample opportunity to give it right back to me. I win/lose some, she wins/lose some. What can ya' do? I'm happy and that's what's important.

She pretty much is a spoiled princess and gets anything she wants....
She puts up a great argument and can get her way most of the time...

Right up until I say, "Enough"..... then I rule, and it is my way period...

This has worked for the last 17 1/2 years so yeah I am a Manly Man when needed...

I like this answer too! My mother said that when I deal with a woman don't be like a shower curtain...you know, you punch at it and it gives way, you never make solid contact, but neither should you be all iron but rather you should be like a velvet glove filled with an iron hand. Loving and caring but no nonsense and immovable as needed.

I say what I want to say. She likes it that way.
