Well all of the above are true! AND then some! She has to give more than she gets, and in return HE has to give more than he gets. And each have to appreciate each other when things get rough...and trust me they get rough!!

A real man MAKES A VOW AND HONORS THAT VOW!!! Regardless of what walks in front of his eyes and how much he may want to "go play." Same for the woman.

A real man learns to make a few meals every now and then so she feels appreciated and can take a "night off". Likewise the woman should to.

A real man will show with his words AND actions, that his "girl" is the only one that ever will be in his life, as his partner. As should the woman!

A real man will go to work and support his family as best he can, what that work is up to the two of them. Like wise a woman should be willing to do the same!

A real man knows when it is time to stand his ground, and when to let it go and give in. As should the woman.


It takes both sides to make it work. Did I make "rude" comments and do "guy stuff" around Cathy? AB-SO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY!!!! And while she rolled her eyes at me mostly. Sometimes she jumped all over me. She could be pretty sharp with that verbal lashing stuff! HA HA HA!!! And yeah, I usually had it coming. NOT always though! HA HA! She knew who I was and that I meant no harm to her or anyone who could treat her with some modicum of respect.

We all poke fun at the opposite sex, yet we all need the other in some fashion. Even if it is to tell us to shut the ________ UP! HA HA HA!!!!

And "Wine is fine, but liquor is quicker;" or so I have been told!

I would have no clue myself. I have never been a "bar" type. Maybe that has been my problem my whole life????? HMMM??? HA HA AH AHA HA!!!!
OK, Enough with the serious stuff! Drink 'em if you got 'em! It's five o-clock somewhere!

Well said Arron...could not have said it any better myself.

Cheers, Vince

wise words indeed Arron.

In the real life the real man in the women's life is only his husband not any other. I have seen many of the couples who only live for their partner becasue they love each other so much and there is very perfect mutual understanding between them. Women expect so much from her husband becasue he is the real hero of her life.

Welcome aboard Nyasia55...grab a beer and pull up a stump mate.

You are totally correct...and that is what a successful marriage is all about...mutual trust, respect and love. Might explain why my wife and I have been married 35 years.

Cheers, Vince

Retrosexuals

Something to ponder over a skinny decaf frapachino:
Please allow me to vent. I have had it. I've taken all I can stand and I
can't stand no more. Every time my TV is on, all that can be seen is
effeminate men prancing about, Dedecorating houses and talking about foreign concepts like "style" and "feng shui." Heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, transsexual, metrosexual, non-sexual; blue, green, and purple-sexual...

Real men of the world, stand up, scratch your arse, burp, and yell
"ENOUGH!" I hereby announce the start of a new offensive in the culture Wars, the Retrosexual movement."

The Code:

A Retrosexual man, no matter what the women insists, PAYS FOR THE DATE.

A Retrosexual DEALS with IT, be it a flat tyre, break-in into your home, or a natural disaster, you DEAL WITH IT.

A Retrosexual not only eats red meat, he often kills it himself.
A Retrosexual doesn't worry about living to be 90. It's not how long you live, but how well. If you're 90 years old and still smoking cigars and drinking, I salute you. If you are still having sex, you are a God.

A Retrosexual does not use more hair or skin products than a woman. Women have several supermarket aisles of stuff. Retrosexuals need deodorant and shaving gear and a tooth brush- that's it!!
A Retrosexual does not dress like a homeboy with baggy pants that look like he's shat himself, or with a gay chain from pocket to pocket. If wearing a hat, wear it correctly - not on the side like a faggot. Blokes and necklaces (unless you are an Australian fast bowler) are out!
A Retrosexual should know how to properly kill stuff (or people) if need be. This falls under the "Dealing with IT" portion of The Code.
A Retrosexual watches no TV show with "Queer" in the title.
A Retrosexual does not let neighbours screw up rooms in his house on national TV.
A Retrosexual should not give up excessive amounts of manliness for women. Some is inevitable, but major reinvention of yourself will only lead to you becoming a handbag carrying little puss, and in the long run, she ain't worth it.
A Retrosexual is allowed to seek professional help for major mental stress such as drug/alcohol addiction, death of your entire family in a freak BBQ accident, favourite sports team being moved to a different city, favourite dog expiring, etc. You are NOT allowed to see a shrink because Daddy didn't pay you enough attention. Daddy was busy DEALING WITH IT. When you screwed up, he DEALT with you.
A Retrosexual will have at least one outfit in his wardrobe designed to conceal himself from prey.
A Retrosexual knows how to tie a Windsor knot when wearing a tie -- and ONLY a Windsor knot.
A Retrosexual should have at least one good wound he can brag about getting. This does not include males who have had cosmetic surgery.
A Retrosexual knows how to use a basic set of tools. If you can't hammer a nail, or drill a straight hole, practice in secret until you can or be rightfully ridiculed for the wuss you are.
A Retrosexual knows that owning a gun is not a sign that your are riddled with fear, guns are TOOLS and are often essential to DEAL WITH IT. Plus it's just plain fun to fire one off in the direction of those people or things that just need a little "wakin' up".
Crying. There are very few reasons that a Retrosexual may cry, and none of them have to do with TV commercials, movies, or soap operas. Sports teams are sometimes a reason to cry, but the preferred method of release is swearing or throwing the remote control. Some reasons a Retrosexual can cry include (but are not limited to) death of a loved one, death of a pet (fish do NOT count as pets in this case), loss of a major body part, or loss of major body part on your Holden ute.
When a Retrosexual is on a crowded bus and or a commuter train, and a pregnant woman, heck, any woman gets on, that retrosexual stands up and offers his seat to that woman, then looks around at the other so-called men still in their seats with a disgusted "you rude pricks" look on his face.
A Retrosexual will have hobbies and habits his wife and mother do not
understand, but that are essential to his manliness, in that they offset the acceptable manliness decline he suffers when married/engaged or in a serious healthy relationship - i.e., hunting, boxing, shot putting, shooting, cigars, car maintenance and drinking piss with the boys.
A Retrosexual knows how to sharpen his own knives and kitchen utensils.
A Retrosexual man can chop down a tree and make it land where he wants. wherever it lands is where he bloody well wanted it to land. Except on his ute--that would happen because of a "force of nature", and then the retrosexual man's options are to Cry, or to DEAL with IT, or do both.
A Retrosexual will give up his seat on a bus to not only any women but any elderly person or person in military dress (except 2nd Lt's) NOTE: The person in military dress may turn down the offer but the Retrosexual man will ALWAYS make the offer to them and thank them for serving their country.
A Retrosexual man doesn't need a contract -- a handshake is good enough.
A Retrosexual man doesn't immediately look to sue someone when he does something stupid and hurts himself. We understand that sometimes in the process of doing things we get hurt and we just DEAL WITH IT!

Yeah I do subscribe to a lot of the retrosexual male, I think my wife understands - we just celebrated 21 years married so I think we both got it right somewhere.

Live, Love and laughter ......

What's with this "retrosexual" male business anyway. Whatever happened to the "chauvinist" male [like me]. Did he die? Am I the last of the proud chauvinist males. I must be a dying breed.

No Bushy...you ain't alone mate...I'm here too...and I suspect that there are many more of us on The Nut.

Cheers, Vince

Where's Suz? I figured she would be poppin' in on this one. Maybe we could get Jon (her bo) to make a comment without her knowing. Fat chance...

Worth a try Bushy...now...where can we reach him?

Cheers, Vince

woohoo now I finaly got a label
I always figured a bloke was enough but oh well if the shoe fits.
