Modern Masculinity

Men have lower life expectancy than women, and significantly higher suicide rates. They are more likely to be the victims of violence and are falling behind educationally.
Certain "male" behaviours that used to be acceptable no longer are, and many within the younger generation feel lost & even demonized in what they see as an increasingly "feminised" culture.
What's going on?

As a bona fide male chauvinist with archaic tendencies. I like a woman to be feminine, intelligent, intriguing, and pretty. Some males today blunder from ingratiating servility to arrogant posturing. The role models of yesteryear are thin on the ground. Women seem to me to be changing from enchanting, to confrontatio

Khandro - // andy; How little you know of the real world. //
Please don't patronise me Khandro.
You have no idea how much I know of the 'real world', so your assumption that you know more than me is supremely arrogant of you.
For the record, I will stand my life experience up against anyone on this site, including you.
I have spent my adult life out in that world, interacting with a lot of people, from all walks of life, not closeted away reading endless religious tomes and polishing my nasty unfounded prejudices.
// Homosexual male predators, - young boys !! It has been going on for thousands of years, first recorded by the ancient Greeks.
'The most common form of same-sex relationships between elite males in Greece was paiderastia (pederasty), meaning "boy love". It was a relationship between an older male and an adolescent youth. A boy was considered a "boy" until he was able to grow a full beard. In Athens the older man was called erastes. He was to educate, protect, love, and provide a role model for his eromenos, whose reward for him lay in his beauty, youth, and promise............' //
Neither do I need a history lesson from you either.
Your view is clearly based on high-level homophobia, and your conviction that every homosexual male lives only to try and persuade anyone around him to be the same, preferably young and impressionable boys.
The more I read your repellent views, the more delighted I am not to share any of them.
You clearly live with a fearful and distorted view of humanity, which thankfully, is not shared by the majority, either in the wider world, or on this site.

naomi - // Khandro, how is male homosexuality relevant to this thread which I thought was about modern man? With that in mind I don’t understand why you’re banging on about the ancient Greeks. //
Khandro's morbid obsession with homosexuality is the result of his inability to accept that the male population does not consist entirely of his template of 'real men', coupled with his increasingly advertised homophobia.
That level of fear must be horrible to live with.

naomi - // AH, given Khandro’s CV, I think he knows more than a bit about the world. //
I am sure he does.
But unlike him, I would not be so arrogant as to pronounce on anyone else's experience, with no evidence to back it up.
That would make me look like a pompous fool, and I try to avoid doing that at all costs.

Khandro; you think it wicked that a man could love another man? I mean, Jesus and lots of other religious people advocate loving rather indiscriminately. Is it the mingling of bits that upsets you? All animals do that; humans, chimps and so on. Do you find that mingling of man-bits and woman-bits is aesthetically pleasing, whereas man-man or woman-woman is disgusting? What is wrong with love? I thought you'd have liked that sort of thing.

Usually the first line, maybe two is quite enough.
Atheist; I have been lucky enough to have had a few deep, loving relationships with some men, both within my family & beyond, (now sadly all gone) , but I have always loved, and still do, the friendship and company of women.

He would be a role model in my mind because he was intelligent, self aware, he was a keen sportsman (cricket, later golf)with a true sense of fairness and respect for others. He was a gentleman, and despite being well educated never let anyone he was with feel stupid or awkward. His sexuality was part of who he was, but not something most were aware of although he wasn't in any way in the closet he just never made an issue of it.

Zaks Master; //And BTW, a homosexual boy is a male of the species at any age under 18, who realises they are gay.//
A boy is a male child before reaching puberty at around the age of 12, after which they might be termed youths or adolescents, & may start to become sexually aware.
There a no sexually aware homosexual boys, despite homosexual idiots of your persuasion within the teaching profession telling them so.
