Being a man? What does that mean?

Am I suppose to wear the pants in the family? Have the highest paying job? Buy the house, cars, dog, fix the stove, have a toolbox, change the oil, rotate the tires? Is a woman suppose to pop out kids at the man's idea, cook, clean, and do the laundry; maybe have a small job and wait for the man to come home and have dinner ready?

Screw that!

Sorry, but if that is what people consider a "man" you can keep your definition. Not saying that I am not going to do all those things, but in my humble opinion a woman should be able to do the same things (probably do them better cause men don't read instructions). I dont get people and some relationships, where the man has all the power and the woman is a tag along. My fiance and I are pretty equal in everything we do (Taxes vs. computers; cleaning vs. cleaning, music vs.....well, we are working on that), and I wouldn't have it any other way. I would really be stupid to have a beautiful woman by my side agree with EVERYTHING I am doing.

Me: "Babe, the sky is green"
Her: "Your right, it is"
Me: "Lets have kids"
Her: "ok"

Sorry, but that isn't how I get down, nor do I expect people to (good luck on that one). Honestly, sometimes I like a lil fight here and there over something stupid, it makes me see that sometimes I am NOT right. Sometimes our views on things are wrong, stupid, ignorant and I believe that only a strong woman and point that out to him. Give and take, the foundation of any relationship next to communication and taking risks.

Is a man suppose to be right all the time? Seeing that all our Presidents have been men and seeing where we are today, do you really believe that??? Behind every strong man, there is a woman who has put up with his shit and made him strong. The streets don't make you strong, the gym don't make you strong, a gang, your boys, job, car, house, money don't make you strong! Having a woman (not a girl, lady, female friend with benefits, bitch, hoe(s), chick, etc) makes you strong

So...being a man....means you have a woman.....I can live with my definition.

It's nice to see a man who believes in the "Theory of Evolution" when it comes to relationships. We no longer live a time where men play the dominant role; instead we have evolved into times of codominance - or shall I say equals - and men are more willing to appreciate what a woman has to offer. When it comes to relationships there is no such thing as perfection; the ups and downs that are thrown our way are inevitable. But I say that there is someone out there where those ups and downs are something to look foward to. There is no one else in this world that you would rather argue with, cry with, breakup then makeup with, rejoice and celebrate with - i'm glad you found your someone :)
