Does anyone work on thier own home? Hardly. Hire a painter, hire a plumber, hire a carpenter, hire a landscaper. Call AAA with a flat tire.
I just did a complete tune-up on my 4x4. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor etc. I went to work with scraped knuckles and hands that were scrubbed raw to get the grease off. To others it was as if I performed some Hurculean task. “You did WHAT?”
It’s amazing what guys don’t or wont do anymore.
Pathetic.

I know exactly what you mean. I do most of my own work on the car, all the work on my motorcycle, plant my own bushes, paint my house and my neighbors think I am crazy.
They all have landscaping services, painters etc doing all their work. I’ll bet they don’t take care of their wives either.

I think you should go for 40 year old guys.
Does your rugby team ever play games in PA?

I know MY stress level would decrease if I could get rid of the cell phone and pager. (problem is that I can’t do that and still pay the mortgage)

We’re still local, but I’ll be happy to ruck with you in person.
Yesterday I was buying some groceries at Safeway, and a group of 3 (2 guys 1 girl) were ahead of me. One of the guys had long shoulder length blonde hair and kept running his hands through it and tossing his head like a girl does. He had black fingernail polish, m ultiple rings and pink shoes.
After I purchased my stuff and walked through the exit, they were breaking into their So-be drinks and I walked by and said “Hello Ladies”. I did not look for a reaction, I just wanted them to know what they looked like.
I’m such an asshole.

Maybe, but it’s still funny.

I do the same stuff…
When I was a child I remember reading that if you find 2 true friends in life, you are a lucky man.
Unfortunately, so far its proving to be true.

That could be a whole other topic. There are only two guys I have known in my life who I know for a fact would be there for me if I called them right now. I know one would be on a plane within hours and I would do the same for him. True friendships shouldn’t be taken for granted. However, they don’t just fall out of the sky. Most people aren’t worth trusting. If you find one who is, it would be in both of your best interests to hold on tight to it. I do agree that among the people I do actually call “friends”, there is a bond that would take some above average circumstances to be broken. But I’ve learned that too many people are users and hang around as long as it personally benefits them.[/quote]

Well put. We need this in the strong words section.

In media especially, I’ve noticed that men are being completely phased out in having any control in a relationship (not saying women cant have any contol, but it looks like the men are little kids that the woman has to take care of). They are made out to look like idiots and the only reason they are alive is because they have a woman in their lives. They are perceived as just sitting on the couch watching football drooling while the woman is doing things and is being productive.[/quote]
The funny thing about this is that those shows are produced for women, as the target audience, that they can feel superior and laugh at their useless husbands… while they themselves sit on the couch and ignore their children.
Not that their guy isn’t watching other men being active (sports), though, on the family’s other tv set…
Meanwhile, the children get into all sorts of shit that they shouldn’t be into, like drugs and alcohol, crime, meaningless sex, desensitization to violence, etc.
Fucking wastoids.
My true friends are the ones without TV’s. The last real people on earth. The others all ditched me when I ditched the boob (or rather, we parted ways). “Man, he’s not with it anymore.”
Hallelujah, if it wasn’t so lonely here.
BTW, I can do anything, and probably already have.
Most people think I’m lucky, to have skills. I think they’re just lazy.

Some of the greatest warriors in history and myth were highly emotional individuals. Men who braved certain death with casual disregard were known to weep openly and bitterly at the death of their warhorse. Cast down in heartbreak if rejected by the woman they love, yet crawl through the battlefield covered in mortal wounds to strike one last blow.

I agree with your point on warriors. “Stonewall” Jackson was an implacable foe to his enemies, demanded the impossible from his men (marching 30 miles, many barefoot, into battle), and yet wept bitterly over the death of a little girl. His letters to his wife were very tender -hearted.
Robert E. Lee, it can be argued, was never able to replace Jackson whose ability to out-manouvre his enemies was legendary. His tactics were studied in England and elsewhere.
Due to recent trends in declining testosterone levels, at least once a day every man shall be required to, but is not limited to, eat steak, watch porn, watch football, and lift weights. AGREED! clank MAN LAW!!!
