Lots of people talk about guys ‘losing their man card’ if they do certain things, like watch a chic flick, get a manicure or pedicure, have anything waxed, etc. Really I don’t ever worry about that kind of thing, being quite secure in my masculinity, thank you very much, so much so that I don’t mind telling anyone at all that I’m really fond of women’s purses and shoes. They really can be quite beautiful, don’t you think? Also, the man card thing is basically a pride issue, and I lost most of that along with being a father of four, carting diaper bags, shopping for pink stuff for the girl child and carting it around the store, etc.
Some guys would call eating nothing but plants grounds for losing their man card, but, even aside from my afore mentioned security in my masculinity, I don’t see it that way. The way I look at it, I’ve taken charge of my body and my diet instead of relying on some sissy pill. Some folks might just have to rely on a pill no matter what they eat, and the jury is still out on whether I will need to take pills for my cholesterol, but I’m the one firing the next shot in this battle.
A Guy guffaws and stuffs his face with unhealthy food acting like there is no future for him beyond immediate gratification.
ReplyDeleteA Man, realizing his immense importance in the life of his family, does what it takes to be healthy and acts like a grown up and a role model. He takes care of business!
A mere guy can never comment on a "Man" card because he hasn't even earned one yet.
