Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
I was filling up my work truck at the local gas station and looked around me today, and I saw a bunch of impostors pretending to be men. Guys with more jewelry than I've seen women wear, neatly cut and glossed fingernails, yes I said glossed, I saw it at the cash register, and one wearing so much cologne I could smell it from 2 pumps away, and he had enough grease in his hair to lube a 5th wheel axle. I don't expect everyone to know that that is. Driving down the highway there were billboards for laser hair removal with men that had no body hair at all and I asked myself.... Is it not ok to be a man anymore? I don't spend 2 hours in front of a mirror shaving with a pair of clippers and a ruler on my face, I keep my hair short so its easy to manage, if it looks like crap, I put a hat on, and I pull up my mismatched socks because where I'm going, I'm going to need boots or shoes. I have hair on my chest, like I'm supposed to. When I look at a big pile of meat on a bun I think, It's going to need some bacon, no I'm not worried about the extra calories, you know why? because I'm going to burn them off doing something productive, like build something, or teach my buddy's kid how to throw a ball and build up some physical prowess, so when he goes off to school he can walk the 3 houses down the street to the bus stop without his mom driving him there, and I teach him not to be a dick about being stronger than someone else, because its not ok to push someone around just because you are, a real man protects the weak. Its time we reverted back to being real men, instead of getting manicures and shaving our chests. I'm a man and I'm damn proud of it.
i dont really care how someone dresses, thats up to them. trends, styles, some follow them, some could care less. its how they treat pple that matters. everyone is different, im a vegetarian, i depise hunting and what it teaches young kids, i care about animal rights and think america is made up of mostly complaining do nothing sheeple. but that doest mean im any less of a man because i am different than bubba or beuford. there are some guys that are more the felix than the oscar. some care a great deal about how they dress when they go out but at home are content in mismatched socks and an old ripped sweatshirt. the married guy might find the wife has tossed his old comforable ripped sweatshirt. well thats life.
the only guys that ever use to shave their chests were sometimes swimmers and weight lifters that entered competition. the laser hair removal thing, might not be targeting the average guy, but rather the man that looks more like he is wearing a fur coat. advertisers also target men for face cream, and antiwrinkle stuff now. i dont think there is anything wrong with trying to stay young looking. some guys will try that stuff some wont, it doesnt make them any less a man for their choice. some try and fight age, some just accept it.
what concerns me that seems lost, is that there seems to be so few men that will stand behind their word. the old the word is my bond line. being a good, kind and moral man, thats stands behind what he says and does is more important in the larger scheme of things than how macho he may appear on the surface.
ill agree its a real man that protects the weak, but who is to say just because the guy didnt appear macho, he wouldnt stand up for the weak.....or that he wasnt well versed in the marital arts. looks just dont tell the entire story.
but i agree its smart for both men and women to do all they can to stay fit and healthy and fit age anyway they can. the very rich twits use hgh, to help reverse the aging process. i knew a guy that tried it and not onbly did he feel better, it helped his depression. but its very expensive.
even though i want to try to do all i can to stay fit, with chronic lonliness making me sad and despondent, as well as the anxiety/depression rollercoaster, its hard to exercise and eat right. most of the time i have almost no appetite when very stressed and depressed. and you cant make muscular gains that way.

Also, some people are trying to equate anything spontaneously many with violence or impropriety.
As for the obesity crisis, well, for as long as people keep following what they see on TV as healthy and cool, and for as long as people don't take responsibility for their own habits, we're (actually, they are) going to continue getting fat and out of shape.
Yes, we have to reclaim being who we are as men. I do feel that we are being attacked.
