All right, children, here's where the Angels fear to tread...some of us on this website have identified ourselves (labeled ourselves?) as "...a man trapped in a woman's body" or as "...a woman trapped in a man's body". My question to all that (and a question I sought to answer in the context of a community radio show I did a few years ago) is: What makes anyone a Man? How do we define what it means to be a "real" Man?

So - here's your chance. I'll start you off with a few thoughts and then you folks tell me (and the rest of us) what we all really need to know:

1) You may be a man if...
...when the house is on fire, you rescue the toolbox from the basement and the beer from the fridge before you check to see if your current bedmate/companion got out safe.

2) You may be a man if...
...you can recite the names of every team and their quarterback in the NFL but cannot name either the Vice-President of the United States, the Speaker of the House, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or the Secretary of the Treasury.

3) You may be a man if...
...having sex constitutes being in a "relationship", regardless of talking, feeling, or caring.

Whaddaya think? BardOhio

Ok...You may be a man if: You have no fear of scratching and/or relieving yourself (urinating, breaking wind, etc)in the presence of others [which I have been known to do, sorry to say].

LOL Okay, 1) I wouldn't rescue the toolbox and I don't drink beer. However, I'd rescue my comp. LOL

2) I can name a few quarterbacks, and know absolutely no names of the politicians in questions except the vice prez.

3) Yep. Though I've also just had sex with someone to say that I did. *grins*

Those were called relationships????? I thought they were just fuck budies.

And hate to break it to ya'll, if you actually become the level of a "girl-friend" with a girl, they will have entire conversations with you with the bathroom door wide open. Apparently it's okay for a gal to piss in front of someone else if she's talking to them.

O.o I've had a few girlfriends that would piss and talk to me at the same time, I couldn't stand it, they need to learn to close the bathroom door!

You may be a man if: Every four seconds your mind somehow drifts back to thinking about sex [yep,that happens a lot]

i think this is just one of those peceptions things...everybody will have a different view on what it means to be a man...

i would say i was a man,yet i dont like sports, i dont have a tool kit, i dont know jack about tools etc. however i love beer! i laugh at noises made by bodily functions and love my pc (when it does as its told the first time i tell it to do something) and other stuff like that

everybody is different and there is no set thing which makes a person a "man"...
