25 Ways to Be a Real Man

In its Men's Style section, The New York Times recently published a somewhat ridiculous, liberalism-infused article entitled "27 Ways to Be a Modern Man." While a few of the 27 ways made some sense, many of them were so soft-handed and weak that one wonders if the article was meant as a joke. Sadly, it appears that the writer was serious:

When the modern man buys shoes for his spouse, he doesn’t have to ask her sister for the size. And he knows which brands run big or small.

Does the modern man have a melon baller? What do you think? How else would the cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew he serves be so uniformly shaped?

*snip*

Well, if a modern man is supposed to be a mushy, fashion-conscious crybaby with a melon-baller, then I want no part of it. It's far better to be a real man. So what are the traits of a real man? There are many, and this list isn't comprehensive, but it should be a good start.

A real man:

Has integrity. If he gives you his word on something – or shakes on it – then you can put it in the bank. A real man does what he says he's going to do.

Treats people with dignity and respect. He adheres to the Golden Rule: treat others as you would have them treat you. All people get the same treatment, whether he needs something from them or not.

Respects women. For a real man, chivalry is not dead. He will open a door for a woman, give up his seat for a woman, and never, ever abuse a woman.

LOL. That's not a man, that's a valet.

Clearly, modern man is a fag.

A real man doesn’t read list written by others to know what he has to do to be a real man.

Well, you can’t really call yourself a real man until you have eaten the still beating heart of an enemy and when you have finally understood the riddle of steel.

When my wife needs shoes: I pay for them.

I don’t own a melon baller.

“25. The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn’t own one, and he never will.
26. The modern man cries. He cries often.”

Wow, sounds like Pajama Boy is the modern man. Why would any man ever endeavor to be this “modern man”???

I didn’t even know what a melon baller was, nor that it existed until my ex wife bought one.

I said use a spoon, why did you waste the money.

Because, apparently, Modern Man can suck start a leaf blower and finds romance in a men's room stall with a hole in the wall...

Pah! They're all looking for The Magic Orgasm. Gonna be disappointing for them, isn't it?

I don’t own a melon baller.....I never knew a melon had balls. I eat the meat inside of ‘em.

And what is the riddle of steel? I am not a man but would still like to know unless it’s a trade secret.

And what is the riddle of steel? I am not a man but would still like to know unless it’s a trade secret.

The riddle of steel is that the hotter the fire, the stronger the steel. And it is the riddle of man also, the hotter the tribulations, the stronger the man.

That is pretty cool. I love riddles. My husband doesn’t know any riddles.
