By society’s standards you are a man when you can have sex, turn a chick out, or make a baby. That sounds great. That same society will call you a whore and tell their daughters to stay away from guys like you. They call you deadbeat dads when you make the baby but run from the responsibility. Part of the problem is that society tends to set people up to fail with their standards. To make a baby is great but doesn’t take much but some friction and ejaculation. If you think you are a man because you can do that think again. A man can do that, be responsible for the child he creates not just financially, but physically, emotionally and mentally. A real man can bear the weight of caring for not just himself but for who he has created. A real man understands that there is more to life than getting off and moving on. Keep in mind that society will also look down on you if you have to ask for governmental assistance to take care of your children. So living by society’s standards doesn’t really sound like the way to go.

So it’s been said that MEN are more EMOTIONAL than WOMEN. Example: Woman gets on Man’s Nerves; he LEAVES! Woman starts yelling and degrading Man; MAN HITS HER! Children’s Mother tells Father HE’S NO GOOD AND CAN’T PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY. FATHER LEAVES & MAKES NEW FAMILY WITH ANOTHER WOMAN! Are Men really more EMOTIONAL than WOMEN?
