I felt really bad for whoever the guy inside was.

deep down i think a majority of women feel like this but maybe like 50% of them would actually vocalize it.

You mean women who were raised to think that traditional norms are all that a man should exude? Sure.

It's not a serious answer. It's just making fun of the "testies" answers previously in the thread.

A man should be anyone who self-identifies as an adult male.

Anything beyond that is arbitrary and subjective.

It isnt natural, its an archaic concept created by society to marginalize woman.

DFW sums it up for me:

Quote:

. . .the so-called real world of men and money and power hums merrily along in a pool of fear and anger and frustration and craving and worship of self. Our own present culture has harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded extraordinary wealth and comfort and personal freedom. The freedom all to be lords of our tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the centre of all creation. This kind of freedom has much to recommend it. But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talk about much in the great outside world of wanting and achieving....

The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.

to me, this is what it means to be a man, to be an adult, to be a person. the willingness to abnegate your imagined rule over the world and really think about other people first.

Why so angry?

It depends, but one of those requirements might be handling that business with the girlfriend/wife. If he's shirking his responsibilities and living at her place and not contributing to the household and all of that, she could have a point. But if he's just trying to get some game time in and she's jealous because she feels ignored, then he might need to remind her that he is a man. A man who plays video games. And if he hasn't actually been neglecting her, then she needs to deal with not being the center of attention, and let him have some goddamned "me" time.

Wait a second, why feel bad for him? You don't know their situation, right? What if he is a complete asshole that is hurting everyone around him? Maybe she was at her breaking point. There are things we don't know.

About "being a man"... I think that the notion is relative to each of us men, so you could try things like reading up on "great men of history" or male behavior in the animal kingdom. Maybe you'll find the answers you seek, or maybe not. I traveled the world for years and found my answer, I suppose.

You see, I used to think it was about testosterone, eating meat, working out, fucking, fighting, being a "peacock" of sorts, etc. Now, I think it's about protecting those close to me, establishing my "kingdom", being assertive about my desires and ambitions, and following my own code.

So, I'm not a psychologist, but it seems that you are projecting something here. Maybe you arrived at the preconceived idea about the girl yelling because you have insecurities about your manhood or something; don't worry, this is normal and every person, regardless of gender/age, goes through it. Your introspection might show you a way.

well, if you look at the history of the term man, it originally meant humanity.

Wereman, which we still see referenced in werewolf, or "man" wolf, is the correct term to define males. We merely usurped the term with your manlyness and took it to mean males, because afterall, the bible teaches us that man made woman with our ribs.
