What's up, everyone? How's everything going? Ok, enough of the small talk; more about me. I'm sore, tired and a little hungry. I just spent the last 2 hours being poked, prodded and seemingly molested by my friendly physician. I know that sounds grand and all but it really wasn't. Why is it that whenever you go to the doctor, you have to fill out 50 million different forms about your illnesses? It's kind of invasive, dont you think? Why must they know all that?
Are you depressed? No, but if you diagnose me with something I can't pronounce, I might be.
Do you have suicidal thoughts? See above answer.
Do you have crying sessions? Men don't cry - we aren't allowed to.
I'm not much of a crier myself - never have been. However, when the nurse from hell tried to skewer me with demon needles to bleed me to death, I'll admit, some saline did inadvertently roll down my face (but I ain't no punk or nothin' - that's against the Man Laws).
The Man Laws - the secret set of rules and regulations that men are governed by. You have heard by its other name - THE CODE. It is distinctly against THE CODE for men to showcase any type of emotion - or they will be deemed soft or some other random reference to being less than masculine. It's not really fair but that's the way society has made things.
Laughter/Excitement. This is exhibited in our love of sports, cartoons, video games, action movies and random viewings of violence.
Lust/Hunger. It is our duty to enjoy the booty - as well as a good hearty sandwich. No spooning or eating things like Tostitos with a hint of lime.
Anger. Sadness takes a back seat to our good friend, Rage. Why talk things out when you can beat the hell out of someone?
That's my time - back on Thursday!

I was at a bbq on Saturday and my friends husband and his boys toasted and tipped the bottom of their beers and were like "man law"! This was hilarious to me and I had no idea what the hell they were talking about! So of course, I had to ask and they ran down several "man laws". And I asked if this was universal and they said yes and I didn't believe them!!!! I guess I was wrong...
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It's too bad that men have devised this "code" to make themselves more "Manly." I believe a real man won't subject himself to the rules of society and be himself. There's nothing more attractive than finding a man who knows who he is and whose he is.
ReplyDeleteCan you guys make a man law about putting the toilet seat down or some shit like that; something that will make our lives a little easier? This Code crap could prove to be helpful if it involved things that actually mattered! Real talk...a real man can be sensitive and can show emotion when he's comfortable in his own skin. I don't want my man dying from a heart attack because he kept all kind emotion bottled up because of some Code or "Man Law".
ReplyDeleteoh yeah. i've heard these rules 50 million times, and i totally disagree w/ them. we should not be limited to three emotions. yeah, men & women are different...but we're still humans and we are born w/ emotions. so why hide them? to please others? to please society? oh yeah...very manly to be concerned about other's opinions of you rather than being concerned about what you think about yourself. i don't follow the "man law," and honestly, i don't care what others think. if some girls don't like me for who i am...then that would make it easier for me to find somebody else who does.
