Something like that maybe.

It takes a real man who can cry when he is grieved, can love when he there is no return on it, and can give when it would be easier to igore the needs of others. Don't get me started!

Gee Rhoni, I didn't realize that bodily functions disqualify someone from being a real man, thats funny. I do not think rude behavior makes one a sissy, do you? LOL!

The good sister just needs some effective leadership in her life, obviously.

That would set her on the straight and narrow in time.

LOL. In my many years of counseling I've heard that more oft than not from men, and I have to agree with them. Women need to be more assertive in telling men what they want instead of subtle hints. Women can't blame men for not meeting their needs when they don't know what their own needs are.oloroid

P.S. Good point Prax.

My sister mentioned this term to me today "metrosexual". She said it means men who are in touch with their feminine side. Femininity and masculinity are defined by a culture, and we all find ourselves on a continuum in one degree or another.

I will have to say that I prefer a nerdy/intelligent man who gets a manicure than a car mechanic with grime under his fingernails and rough calloused hands. But what is a fine man to me might not be one to another.

Blessings, Rhoni

Your ignorance of me shines through here Rico...come on...we've been cyber friends for many years now:
# 1. I don't like punks
# 2. I don't like domination either way. I prefer mutual submission.

Blessings, Rhoni

Most men's idea of effective leadership are those who prefer to manipulate, control, and force submission...don't get me started. I've been on the straight and narrow so long I have a steel rod in my back.

I keep looking for balance in your posts, Rhoni - but keep seeing bias instead...
