A Real Man- Enters any situation, takes control, and gets the job done with the absolute minimum of "fuck around" time. It is a diminishment to "serious get-shit-done" when he thinks about gays, animals, and hugging women who are crying over Sex in the City episodes.
After all, none of those things fix the leaking faucet, swap out heads in your car because you hammered down and warped the shitty aluminum bastards, or unclog the shitter for the 18th time after you got done. A Mans' best friend is his dick, and his dog, not in that order either. Somewhere in there is a girl, a car, his TV, and a kick-ass Chicken Fried Steak. In that order.
A Real Man is made up of his actions AND words, and sticks to both, not what others do, or what they say. Only Politicians pick one or the other. You do the hard things, when no one else will.
Perhaps none of those "real" things are taught anymore. Which is why "older men" are sometimes seen as either very old children, or "Real Men" by women. It depends on which side of the fence you stand. And most likely, it is because "Older Men" are old enough to not give a shit what anyone thinks, they just want to relax, and not hear a bunch of bullshit. And get the job done.
If I wanted to be a woman, I would act like one. I am a Man, so I do not.
After all, that is what women are for. And not Men.
And Yes, you CAN walk up to women and ask for sex.
That is called, "Being a Man and Going for It".
It isn't like they can't figure this out, not like they don't know why you are here.
It is a testament to a Man (and Woman) when they skip the bullshit, and know exactly what they want, when they want it. Unfortunately......not many on either side have the backbone or balls to....."get the job done". Not even in something as simple as Sex.
From my past experience, you either go big, or go home. You either try it, or sit the game out. Go for broke, or go broke. I got one life, no guarantees, and swinging dick, so the world is mine if I want it. Wasting time on bullshit is the biggest disservice a Man can do to the World. And a Woman too.
