You ever noticed how some people think that having a fully-developed working, active Lioger makes you a man? *Snort* well, let me tell you. NOT! It takes SO much more than an extra appendage dangling between a guy's legs to make him a Man. The top ten ways you know you are a man: 1) You are man enough to baby-sit little kids. If you can handle screaming toddlers, changing diapers, and teething babies, then congrats. You are a man. 2) When you can apologize without being a whipped wimp. If all it takes is a 'I'm not talking to you' or puppy eyes before you are apologizing, I'm sorry, you do not qualify. Be strong, but when you know you are wrong. Apologize. If you can do that, you are a man. 3) If you can wear theatrical tights. If you are man enough to be onstage, wear stage make-up and still be utterly masculine, you are a man. You are secure enough in your masculinity to wear make-up and/or tights. AWESOME! Not only are you a man, you are probably also toatlly hot. 4) You are man enough to do the dirty jobs. There is no task beneath a true man. Be it helping to change Granny's tires, or wading into a swollen creek for a puppy dog. Sensitive, willing to work guysare amazing. They prove that they are man enough to do ANYTHING! 5) If you are man enough to be a romantic, then you are a true man. And a totally eligible one! Even tough girls (Like me) want a little romance in their life. Not the chauvenisitc "I'll always be here to protect you" Romantic, but the "I'll always be here, by your side." romantic. If you are man enough to sing your chosen lady to sleep, then you are a totally awesome Man! 6) If you are man enough to gently and wisely stand up to females, you are a man. Allowing yourself to be pushed around by a female isn't a sign of ultimate manhood, it is a sign of ultimate excuses. Any female ready to take on a guy isn't a girl who wants the guy to back down. She does not want handicaps for her gender. You'll note I say Female. Any girl who does this is no Lady (Ouch, I am stepping on my own toes here). If you can firmly, but with great dignity and manners tell this female where to get off, then you are a Man. 7) If you are Man enough to admit that you blush, you are a man. Blushing is not a solely female event. Guys can and do blush. It seems that modern society says that it is only cute when girls blush. Not so. A guy who retains the ability to blush, is hot in my opinion. So, if you are man enough to Blush (and NOT tell a girl that she looks cute when she blushes) you are a man. 8) If you can be a poet (and admit to it) you are a man. Men are just as able to be poets as Women are. However, society has pegged male poets as gays or fags. Not true. Most males believe that they have to hide their emotions. That is just stupid. No girl wants to have to guess what is wrong with a guy! Write! Express yourself. Please. If you do, you are an irresistible man. 9)If you are man enough to be a tender musician, you are a man. Most men tend to write songs about rape, having sex on the bathroom floor (which I SO do not get), or drugs. No. Be cool, write about your emotion.
