I have long been telling everyone that I am "half a man". Not a real man... I've never been such a man.
I mean, I love sports: I really die for sports, I need two hands to enumerate all the sports I do. so that's one point for my manhood
I am strong: I have cubes and a shapely body (well relatively...). One more point for my manhood
I'm mentally strong too: I don't cry much, even when my grandmother died I didn't cry. I fell down many times and got up and I had to support a lot of people along the way and didn't show that it was hard for me too. Another point for my manhood
I love to drink a beer on the beach. I like to eat some good burgers with friends. I also like going out to nature to some camp, or climbing a mountain. Or to summarize, everything that every man almost registers or tells when he has to convince someone why he is the "best man" ever. So another point for my manhood.
So right now I'm at 4: 0 ... a real man.
But let's see the other side for a moment ...
I like to sing and dance. One point against my manhood.
Almost the only thing I can cry from is romance movies and music. One more point against my manhood.
I am sensitive to people and less indifferent. I try to give when I can and do not ignore. I try to talk and explain instead of fighting, and get off my ego if need be. It is a bit more covert though so it took me a while to realize that it also belonged. But one more point against my manhood.
I'm not always horny or always the one who pushes. The first time I and my girlfriend got undressed, I got anxious and said I didn't want to continue. We only continued for a while after that and even then each one was intermittent. One more point against my manhood again ...
So here I am .... standing at about 4: 4. "Half a man", that if I had the courage or another character, there could be dozens of more points against my manhood, and maybe two in favor.
So is this my manhood? My definition? My pride in being a man (and I'm certainly proud of being a man)? Between those same 6 points? .....
Nowadays, if anyone asks me if I'm a man, I'll say yes. And I won't have to say that I'm a real man or the man.
I am a man because I have defined my manhood for myself, to be a man for me is to have a way and values and morals. Be respectful and one who gives respect to others and be involved. One who is not afraid to tell about his fears, and also to support others as well. And I could sum up my masculinity inside an encyclopedia but we will end here.
Now it's your turn to set yours.
