Debate:Are men today REAL men?

I am yet to meet one So I’m back to where I started, doing what I do best – schooling brothers on how to be real men! I know what you’re thinking– what do I know? Well, enough to realise that men (at least a good number) are something similar to a swindle!

I am yet to meet one

So I’m back to where I started, doing what I do best – schooling brothers on how to be real men! I know what you’re thinking– what do I know? Well, enough to realise that men (at least a good number) are something similar to a swindle! I don’t think I will ever understand how a man stands on his two feet and asks a woman for money. Please don’t ask me where I find such people or if I’m a sugar mummy of sorts, but I’m telling you – the rate at which men are getting bold is alarming!Borrowing money isn’t the issue; I’m talking about asking a girl to pay for even silly things like the moto fare! A friend of mine was traumatised when a guy asked her out on a date and without a twitch, asked her to pay the cab fare when the cab dropped him off first! On top of that, she had paid three quarters of the bill at dinner as the guy claimed not to have change! Really? I know some women can be unreasonable; in fact, downright frustrating! But it is feminine nature. We were programmed to nag a man till a suicidal bell rings in his head. But it is expected of us – after all, when we are independent, we are sassy and intimidating – what is a girl to do? It is a fact that fiercely independent women are as terrifying to men as a witness at an exorcism gone terribly wrong! Men like to look good – is that wrong - you will ask. The thing is, some men like to look abnormally good! They tweeze their eyebrows, wear lip-gloss and even paint their nails. I once saw a guy with nails so glossy; I had to ask if it was natural. With a huge smile, he told me he had them done at the salon. I might not be a replica of the perfect woman myself, but you see, this isn’t about me! So whoever disagrees can put their ‘beef’ in my suggestion box, which is somewhere at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean!Men are getting too comfortable and it isn’t pretty. Other than a flat chest – scratch that – some guys have boobies, it’s ridiculous, the only way to tell men and women apart, is to inspect their private areas! I have met guys who are a stone throw away from being  REAL men, but I am yet to meet the one who defines the word!
