All my life, I have aspired to be a man’s man.
Wikipedia, which is usually a super accurate source of information, defines a Man’s Man – “a man that is popular among men… an alpha male, a male that others look up to and aspire to be… women want him, and men want to hang out with him…” A man’s man is confident and enjoys life – he is comfortable in all surroundings whether it is a work, play, or with his family. He is cool, calm, and collected and solves problems with intelligence and confidence.
I foresee a shift in how we view a man’s man THAT will include the involved nurturing father.
Yes, I still want a Man’s Man to be desired by women – but desired not just for his prowess in the bedroom, but rather desired for his prowess with a vacuum in the bedroom, and the living room, stairs, landing, and toy room.
I have a dream… that one day; a man’s man will not be defined by…
- Not by how many oil changes he can do in a year, but by how many diaper changes he can do in a day…
- Not be how many red hot chicken wings he can eat, but rather by how many Easy Bake Oven muffins he can make…
- Not by the dirt and grime on his hands, but the nail polish on his toes…
- Less late nights and more early hockey mornings…
- Not how long he can remain standing at a Keg party, but rather how long he remains sitting at a Tea party
That will be a Man’s man….
Are you a Man’s Man?
What can you add to my definition for what now defines a MAN’s MAN? Or a Dad’s Dad?
