Being the man means you have to be everything, and accept the fact that you may not always make them happy. Being the man means you cannot expect praise, adulation, or awards. Being the man means she will think you're wrong sometimes and let you know, and you'll have to swallow your tongue and say nothing. Being the man means you allow your woman to think she's the man!

Being a "real man" is always doing what is right even if it doesnt "feel" good at the moment.. control isnt being a real man.. each spouse should have some sort of control.. with my parents most of the time my mom had main control.. he looked at it as she was the mom that was home all the time with us kids (she was a housewife and took care of the bills ect) and she knew what was going on around the house hold more then he did, so he did give her most of the control, but my father loved her , respected her , and her judgement to know that she wasnt going to abuse the control and knew what she was doing.. My father was the diciplinarian.. they both compromised on the rules, then she set them in place, then he was the one that made sure all of us kept in line with them.. and they had an arrangement, anything dealing with inside the house she made all the decisions, anything dealing with outside of the house stuff, he made the decisions, so it was a balance of control..and mutual respect.. My father is a real man, my mom would tell u that in all the years shes been married to him (over 25 years) that shes never once felt insecure, that she's never once caught him "LOOKING" at another female, nor talks about another female, he goes to work, he comes home, and he is the ultimate family man.. he treats my mother like a queen and in turn she treats him like a king.. hes old fashioned and believes its his responsibility to take care of his family financially , he never waivered from his course.. he stood by her as a united front to anyone that came in their path, family, friends, children.. The only time u knew they were fighting was because they would be sarcastic to each other, but never heard any yelling between them in all my life..he put her on the pedestal, and in return she does the same.. Real men like my father, not only say their vows at their wedding they realize its a vow that u have to live by every day .. Im not saying this because he's my dad, im saying this cause its the truth, my father is the closest thing to perfection there is as far as a husband and father.. Unfortunately they just dont seem to make men like him anymore.. but Real Men.. Put their wives and their families first.. they know how to compromise, they know how to stand by their family, they hold up to their word..and are always well respected, not because people have to , but because they earned it..

Being the man means that you are our "go-to guy", our protector, you've got our best interest in mind at all time, and you've got our back covered. (We need our hearts, and bodies protected)
If we feel listened too, that our thoughts and dreams are important to you, then we don't try to run stuff so much.
So if we talk for 20 minutes about stuff, and get all upset. Just keep saying back what you hear, and then tell us what part you can do, and what part you feel uncomfortable doing.
Then when we pitch a fit, just mildly hug us and tell us that we are going to be OK. And calmly say. I understand what you want and need, and I'll do my best to take care of you. But GIRL you betta let me be a rooster now and then. I'm your man, not your girlfriend.
Kiss her on the head, and invite her to sit down and watch TV, and go on with your life.

Being the man means, stop listening to your dam friends and show us some respect. Friends may come and go but when you have a real women, you have to recognize that. A real women is someone who would do anything for you no matter what the consequences. Same goes for a guy.

A man is there is times of need (friendship) (financially and physically) In times of loneliness(comforting)(intimaticy and companionship) Why try 2 run stuff cause what the man did to get you he forgets when he gets you. That's why.

being the man means not trying to make us take your role because your not doing the "rite things" in other words try harder because we don't like having to do your job either because you don't or because your way off and doing things wrong really that leaves us no choice and leaves us tired and saying being the man out of desperation because nobody really wants to have to worry about running your stuff, to be both roles that makes you feel very lonely in a relationship.

It's not that we are trying to run stuff, it's simply that when we leave it for you to do as "the man", ya goof it up and we end up doing it ourselves anyway. "Being the man" would mean doing it right, so we don't have to.

We do this b/c we like to see how far we can push you until you man up and put us in our place. We all just need a really good smack in the *** sometimes and if you are too afraid to stand up to us then every time we push you, you will just get weaker and weaker. WOMEN WANT MEN TO TAKE CONTROL, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO GET US IN BED!!!

Because if you want something done right, sometimes you gotta do it yourself.
