I read a little article today on ways to make a man feel like a man (no judgement please). I thought it was an interesting article even though most of the advice I found a little bit silly. What made the largest impact on me, however, were the comments I accidentally read. Women were appalled by the advice the article deigned to give and many remarked that it wasn't their responsibility to make their man feel as such.
Listen ladies, I'm thankful that you're keeping the equal rights banner soaring high and I don't see how fixing my significant other's plate makes him feel like a man either. However, I am not averse to doing something sweet for the man in my life; not a grand gesture and not daily but just enough to let him know 'I got you.'
And why not? What's the big deal? If he is faithful, honest, genuinely listens to your office/family drama, does majority of the house work, is not intimidated by your qualifications/career/strength or just loves you and stands by you (even when you have PMS), then just for today let him have the last word--he'll find out you were right soon anyway. A guy I was involved with always cooked for me despite the fact that he hardly ever did for himself. So can you blame me for breaking out the massage oil?
I believe in repaying a good deed with another. If I have an outstanding friend, I'm going to be an outstanding friend. If you have a great companion, at least say thanks.
