When it comes to a man what isn’t always what you get. (Functionality and Family)

The blunder of our society is that all men are toxic and that one clicks on a false or true article can label us men as savages. We are painted many times as baby daddy’s, players, abusers, cheaters, and even worse incompetent of knowing how to love. In one sense there is some truth in this for many men but it is a lie when it is labeling all men.

You being a man is more than just fighting, building, driving, leading, and making money. We feel as well. that’s right I said we have feelings. We need to know that we matter to our wives and children. We may not need them to agree with everything but we do want them to know we care and that they care about us. We want to be wanted but the woman we love and see our children safe from danger when they are young. We long for trust friendship with other men that is not label less than when it doesn’t meet this fake manhood that we never were built for in the first place. No being a man is much deeper than hunting and sports. Just climbing a corporate ladder that is actually lonely when we get to the top is vain. We want substantive intimacy. This type of intimacy is beyond the sexual labels of men but a deeper understanding of our spouse and children that requires hard conversations. This type of intimacy requires us to deal with our feeling of loneliness that we feel whenever we are surround by the false chases of success that leaves you with things and not love.
