I knew a legal immigrant family from the Ukraine and the father was a very proud, dignified man. Not cocky or proud in a vain way, like you said, but self-confident and self-assured. What a refreshing change to meet a man who wasn’t a wuss or wasn’t full of himself.
I find myself enjoying cable shows like “Deadliest
Catch”. Hubby doesn’t like then all that much and
wonders why I do. Then I realized I like the show
because they are MEN who behave like MEN like my
hubby is a MAN. Though the language is pretty rough,
I am confident that I won’t be broadsided by stealth
“gay” scenes. You won’t catch any of those guys eating
estrogen rich tofu or sending their sons to dance classes.
No weigh. It’s refreshing to see a guy take it like
a MAN when he screws up and gets ripped a new
one by his peers.
I wish we would allow more Ukranian/Polish/Russian immigrants in....they have lots of kids and that is what we need....
