Three important points in being a real man that Steve Pavlina missed.
Don’t just read the headings, the points are in the details. I think that these points also work for being a real woman, but I can’t say I would have experience with that. Maybe I should ask my wife?
I have seen a lot of bloggers mention Steve Pavilina’s article on being a man.
How to Be a Man How can men consciously express their masculinity without becoming cold or closed-hearted on the one hand… or wimpy and emasculated on the other?
It is very good post. I think a lot of us would do better if we really take the advice to heart. I just think Steve Pavlina could have added three more important points on being a real man.
Maintain control of the remote control at all costs!
Don’t just accept what is in front of you as the best available. Keep seeking something better. Find ways to improve yourself and everything around you. Find out what is better. Giving up your drive for the better may mean your program is over.
Shave every day!
Or don’t shave every day. Whatever you do, be consistent. Not being consistant makes you look like a bum. If you are going to do something, then do it. Things look much worse when you start and stop than if you just are consistant. This point is needed to make sure you keep on the plot line when you are using that remote control.
Pee standing up!
Let’s face it, it can be easy to sit down on the job. Don’t be lazy. Get to work and get it done quickly. Make sure you use your time wisely and don’t waste time on things that should not take as long. There is a better time to read that magazine.
While I made the headings in jest, I really believe that the points are true.
We all tend to settle for less than we should sometimes. Sometimes we don’t follow through. Often, I am lazy or slow doing something that should be done quick.
How about you?
me too. I tend to keep things till the last minute! LOL. But then take it as a consolation that out of the over 7 billion inhabitants on planet earth, I think more than 60 percent are like us! LMAO.
And James, if you don’t already know, I’ve revived Blog Gigs.
Great post! My husband says there’s actually a word in German for men who pee sitting down- they are sitzpeers (spelling probably not right).
You were not consistent with the spelling of “consistent.”
Consistent – I’m glad someone caught that. One year in school I flunked every spelling test I took even though I was actually a very good student otherwise. I’m leaving it because I think I did it on purpose and I want to be consistent.
Louise – I wonder why they have a word for that?
Costa – probably more than 60%
From my experiences it is easier to pee while sitting down, but is offset by the cost of dirty toilets. So, we stand.
I like how your headings were sarcastic and the content meaningful. Steve obviously wrote the headings to startle his readers, but simultaneously were true to the message.
Brices last blog post..Ham On Rye
….good,inspiring….would rank it with the secret ,bible.since it tends to enflame the spark of manhood….you know, the missing link….
A real man knows the difference between what’s important and what isn’t. A real man doesn’t waste time on stupidities that don’t bring him any profit. Sure, there are things you can do as a hobby — I like to shoot ducks — but it must have a purpose. The purpose of my hobby is to improve my aim, and I don’t have to tell you whether or not that’s a useful thing in my line of work.
