Men's Discussion

Post Reply New Topic

The world needs men. You don't have to be Chuck Norris. Just ready. You need a full heart. You can't help everyone. But if you can help one, then you've helped. You don't have to be the strongest or the greatest. Just available. You are a man. It is your destiny. You're very valuable. Find someone to love. Someone out there needs it.

It is better to fight and fall than to never fear at all. Sometimes just making a stand is all that is needed.

I do ballet dancing in my spare time. Not a traditionally "manly" thing, I suppose, but it certainly makes you strong.

I'm probably one of the least manly men any man would encounter. I don't play sports and I don't lust after women.

I don't get into conversations about cars and I don't give a toss about the stock market.

I do know how to work on cars though, but I don't do it as often as I did back in the day when I used to replace timing belts, change the oil, replace the air and oil filters, fix headlights, etc.

It's also been a while, but I also have some experience with fixing electronic items like amps, clocks, stereo, computers, and so on.

I know how to use a soldering gun. Speaking of guns, I have two BB guns. They're not my first. I've owned pellet guns in the past. Still, I've never went hunting and probably never will.

I used to have a scooter but that's gone. I don't have a bike, either.

I guess I dress pretty manly. I mean, I don't cross dress and I'm too lazy to shave off my beard sometimes.

I do eat Hungry Man Dinners from the frozen food aisle. That's probably the manliest thing I do.

I ate a whole habanero once... It was not my best day ever.

I'm not really interested in any of the stereotypically "male" things like cars, guns, tools, sports, etc. The only consistent one I have is women, but I keep those emotions in check too, because I take love and commitment very seriously. If a woman says she loves me, she better mean it, and be prepared to accept responsibility for anything that may (or may not) happen afterward. I'm not domineering or abusive, but I don't believe in "going with the flow", either. When I love a woman romantically, I do my best to respect her as much as I can...and I expect nothing less in return. This whole "50-50" idea is complete crap; both should give 100% at all times, for the relationship to remain strong.

How did I not notice this topic before!
Anyways, off for a beer with some people then to watch all the games today.
Sorry United fans, I want Fulham to draw with you

I just caught myself in the zipper of my jeans, and only cried for a few minutes.

Firearms mainly. I got started on my collection late, and since my wife is new to it, I had to start out small. Right now we only have a Mossberg 702 Plinkster, but I plan on getting a good AR as well. Having been in the military, I have had a bit of training on projectile weapons life firearms. My group and zero on a "Zero Range" is always in standard at the size of a quarter. Put me on a good lane on a good firing range and I will usually shoot a 30 or higher out of forty. Bad lane or range, and it drops to barely qualifying. I love shooting. I also love knives, football, American Football, Baseball, beer, "Brats," and so on.

- Shooting. One of the few sports I've ever been good at. (Also, defiantly ending sentences with prepositions.)

- Billiards. Like shooting, and also golf, I seem to do best with activities where I smack a motionless target.

- Shaving, bathing, spitting, farting, scratching. Being retired provides the benefit of doing these as I damn well please.

- Eating what, when, and where I want, in whatever manner I want. I reject societal norms with a manly spit on the ground.

- Charred meat. I like eating dead animal flesh that has a nice char on the outside, reminiscent of campfire cookery.

- Military history. I don't mind reading so long as it somehow relates to military history.

- Cave living. Not literally, but I guess part of my aspie nature is that I preserve my apartment as my safe place where I can retreat from the world and enjoy my own company. If that counts as a kind of manly man-cave, then so be it.
