It's with constant evaluation that I admire the many diversities in men. However; the differences seem to be purposeful to teach us all a lesson about the men in our lives. Whether we appreciate it or not, all men can not be the same but it's vital that we remain realistic in assessing their maturity and inept ability or competence to be "The Man". I look forward to helping us asses, that the boys we raise do not merely become men by adding years but in character.
To side tract your attention to the real issue at hand... I would try my best to not denigrate the men still in search for their identity. Who would have thought that a search for one's self would cause a 'disco ball' of behaviors? I couldn't have found a better way to describe the colourful language, unstoppable mood swings and desperate cry for attention, displayed by very immature men.
Just to demonstrate the damaging childishness displayed by some men. I'm always saddened by the stories of ego over taking sensible men, who are competitive for all the wrong reasons. For some - the behavior comes out to prove control or masculinity and others it's the dreadful video game syndrome and dire need for attention by the 'swag'. Don't get me wrong, no man is perfect but should women entertain immature men? How would we ever raise the standard if we do? In my thinking, the more we don't pay credence to such imbecile behavior, they'd be inclined to develop character. I know the old saying that says, "You can only bend a tree while it's young", but tress have the ability to adapt and so do we.
Of course, a jacket and tie doesn't show maturity, let's not forget that people dress their animals in such attire so that's off the list. Character building is a key phase in any man's life. It's the time he makes the decision of what impression he'll like to leave on people, especially women. This is the point when he figures out whether he's looking to attract a meaningful and visionary lifestyle or whether he'll 'wing it' as he goes along. He'd even indirectly decide the types on women he wants to date by choosing to be a player, woman beater, a selfless mate or a faithful companion. All of these things contribute to a man and rightly so, he figures out his character and intended behavior. In my humblest opinion, reading and a lot of personal development helps a lot of men in widening their scope, causing them to see things from almost every angle. It's the exact thing that make men inspiring and captivating as opposed to the holding of the crotch and one-sided walk like a 'hipie'. Fellas that only conveys the message that you have an 'itch' down there so stop that foolishness.
My intent here isn't to dog all the men out there because no one is perfect but in all seriousness, there are some forty year old men who act as though they're twenty-one, while twenty- five year olds behave like teenagers. Identity can never be found by putting yourself on display because it was never lost to begin with. Every boy is born with a special gift to thrive, survive and make great any thing he puts his hands to. Every boy is well able to evolve into the masculine figure he's destined to be... full of eminence and well equipped to change the world. A Man!
