Don't tell.........

Men cry.

Men cry happy AND sad. Those that don't, wanna.

Men occasionally also feel the need to ask for help.  Most won't admit it.  Most won't ask.  They all feel it though.

Men like having female friends.  Don't tell.

Men like sappy movies. Don't look.

Men are all for equal pay, equal right to promotion.  Yes, this could be an ultimate roadblock personally, but all men feel this way. Or should.

Of course, men do not carry children to birth.  But, if you ask any man, he will tell you the greatest feeling he ever has had is from when his child was born.

We men are slowly learning, it's way ok for their son (or daughter) to become a carpenter, a Social Worker or an  IT whiz, insteada a defensive back in college on a scholarship. We men are slowly learning it's OK if their child doesn't shoot baskets better than we did, hit a baseball farther and with more frequency than we did.  They say the only time you can change a man is when he's a baby.  Not so.  It's happening.

When a woman observes another couple, summarizes "I cannot believe she's stays in that relationship with him", men see it as well, and agree.  Of course, that goes both ways.

Men are proud when a woman takes charge on a project, a belief, an improvement.  Or should be.

Practice with three tennis balls as much as we may, we know we will never juggle like a women. (Jiggle either, sadly, we'll probably never change the desire to observe that one. Oink, I guess.)

We men, most I venture to say, DO NOT LIKE OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER SEAT IN A CAR. We tense up.  We wanna suggest, scorn, 'teach', perhaps cuss, yada, but we're OK because we know we are equal, thus, we cede.

We also know, there are instances when we are not equal, and that's OK and women will play hell ever trying to change that..  Like, when we're both walking through a doorway, it's OK (and right) for her to have top priority, go first..  Of course we know she can open her own car door, but sometimes it just feels right to do so.  Yes, when walking side by side down a sidewalk, we take the position inside, closest to the road - just in case. We think that highly of our mate.

Of course I am single.  Many reasons.  Mostly my error.  Still, I hold the beliefs above as right.

A good man will tell his mate "you complete me."

If only we could get men everywhere to agree, admit, abide by the above, it might go a long way in sewing back the fabric of our society. (And that includes DC as well.)

Caving in?  Sucking up?  I don't think so. I, we, love women.  Don't tell. OK, tell if you wanna.

Love, Victurd
