A Glimpse Into My Life… Pt. XIII

chivalry

Men are suppose to be stronge.  Men are suppose to be brave.  Men aren’t suppose to cry. Men aren’t suppose to be needy.  Men aren’t suppose to… Men are suppose to…

Blah blah blah blahhhhhhhhhh…

What makes a man a man?  At what point does another man or woman get to call out a man for his unmanliness?  I have been through this time and time again… and I’m over here thinking, am I really that different?

Unlike ‘real’ men… which, in my opinion, aren’t ‘real men’, I do cry.  You catch me watching a chick flick and you may catch me having watered eyes.  I am needy.  What grown man doesn’t want a lady there for them.  What grown man doesn’t want a strong woman by their side?  And by strong… I don’t mean can change the lightbulb… I mean, can be there to support you and lift you up when things aren’t going your way. Who wouldn’t want that?

I have had many people tell me that I get too serious too quickly… I can’t help that I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I can’t help that I try to fully trust a lady with my heart every time.  I do fall for someone quickly.  I do set my mind on someone I am in interest in, and I do try to learn everything about that someone.  I joke about it… but I call it ‘studying’.  Woman love a man that can remember things they have mentioned… or at least I thought they did.

I see so many woman that complain about their man, or a man, never listening to them.  ‘It goes through one ear and out the other’ with these men these women talk about.  Well… guess what… I am a listener.  I am also a note taker.  You tell me something you don’t like or do like… you can believe I try my hardest to pay attention to that so I can try to impress you at a later time.

I am romantic.  I am a gentleman.  I still believe in opening the door for a lady.  I still believe in paying the tab.  When dropping a lady off at their place, I stay until I see them fully enter their house and turn on a light.  I remember when birthdays are.  I remember when we first met.  Where we first met.  I know these things are important to you, so I make the effort to show you how important they are to me too.

If this isn’t signs of being a ‘real’ man… than maybe the ‘real’ woman doesn’t exist anymore… something to think about.

To Be Continued…
