Real Men-------Real Women

[Lonnie]

Here Goes, I'm not trying to start a sex war, but what, in your opinion, constitutes the make up of a Real Man or Real Woman, more mentally than physically, although you can throw both into the pot if you wish.

[PhilBy]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!


--Rudyard Kipling

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

well I would answer this a little less vokda induced {note the spelling}
a real man would fly 3000 miles just because he loved the sound of my voice .
a real man would take on some othe rguys kids and love them like there own .
real mean would provide as much as he possibly could , love , care , wisdom and morals to those around him.
real men do not in any way punch , slap , push or bully there wifes .
real mean are proud of these fact but do not boost abou them mainly beciuse they see it as normal.
yes a real man tell his mother daily and his wife and kids daily that he loves them .
a real man will cry and cry often when the need arises.


real woman

that last answer was so beatuifully cliched it almost made me want to laugh. Do you know what it is that makes a man? being able to stand up for what you beleive in while not worrying what others will think. take the England game, i know that England were crap just like they've been crap all tournament just because im a man doesnt meant that i cant admit this!!!!!

Sherman, Blyss was talking about her husband and he's clearly a great guy and you don't know her history, so shut up or say something sensible.

[Lonnie]

Blyss, If, as nox has said, you were talking about your husband, you are one lucky woman, and to have found someone who appreciates him, you, yourself, have to be some woman.
I wish both of you, and your family well, for now, and the future.
