Alright, im a 22 y/o college student in Texas. I box, play pool, smoke cigars , have a ton of beer in my house, play cards , am considered to have great morals and am taking bartending school. Im in a portion of my life at the moment where im really into my masculinity but i get the feeling that im missing something. So what makes you a man guys?
Who tells you you have great morals? I just don’t hear that often.
Also, the things you have and do, are they things that you provide for yourself (i.e. work to pay the rent, make enough to not have to work 24/7 so that you can box, party, etc., clean your own house, etc.) or are others footing the bill somewhere (daddy paying rent, girlfriend doing all the cleaning, etc.)? I’ve found that I’m happiest, and feeling more “masculine” when I take care of my own, even if it means that my quality of life, as viewed from the outside, is lower.
Do you know what you want to do with your life? You may have identified that you like to have fun and do manly things, but there should be something more (career, unhealthy interest in the Olsen twins, etc.). Any goals?
When you know you’re a grown up.
i hate this question. paraphrasing dr. laura “Now go do the right thing.”
GOLDBERG: Dr Laura Schlessinger sure has some viewpoints that challenge mainstream mass psychology. Not to mention catchy book titles. Anyway. It gets so-so after three books of her. At least it`s not stuck at the ad hominem debate level, which is always good.
A man knows that the historically masculine things you just named don’t necessarily make you a man.
What makes a T-woman period?
probably her menstruation cycle.
And I didn’t know men can make periods either…that’s a new one on me.
Get a job.
Greekdawg – I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I first read this post yesterday. Didn’t want to bother posting those sentiments, though. Glad some one did.
The next time that I’m pissy and someone asks why, I’ll tell them that I’m on my man-period. That should work.
And tell them your mangina is sore.
And that you’re taking “hormones” thus messing up your manstral cycle…
Go read BigConan’s thread. He is the epitome of what every man alive should be striving toward.
KARMA: You really dig that guy, don’t you? ;ppp
shit ~karma~ you beat me to the punch. Damn you…;o)
I was gonna say that BigConan is the epitome of what a true t-man is. We should all strive to meet his excellent character.
DAN C: Yup, I digs ‘em big an’ dumb an’ speakin’ in da terd perskon.
KARMA: Too bad TCs Slobodo character was fictional. According to what you say, hed given you the run of your life. Keep up with the high standards! ;0)
Brider,
no problem, thats what i’m here for.
When I grow up I want to be like Big Conan. Big…Strong…and fucking stupid.
Greekdawg, you forgot “fat”, “insecure” and “illiterate”.
