For me, a man is

ing if he doesn't take care of his personal hygiene, such as bathing, taking proper care of his teeth, and making sure he's not smelly under his arms...oh yes, and that his feet don't stink! YUCK! I also hate those awful colognes and after-shaves some men douse themselves with before they hit the door each morning or evening.
A man is

ing if he's arrogant, rude, loud, disrespectful of others, and displays a complete lack of social knowledge, such as what to do with his napkin and leaving an old baseball cap on his head during a meal in a restaurant. It's not important what restaurant it is...if he goes in to sit down at a table, he should remove his hat. Good table manners is a must! Talking with his mouth full, burping, not knowing which fork to use, and the improper use of his table knife is also

ing. Dressing sloppily all the time is

ing. (Yep, lefty..those sweatpants are something he should wear only at home when he's just "knocking around.")
A man is

ing if he can't talk about anything other than sports or his job, his kids or grandkids, or his wife or girlfriend. A man is

ing if he doesn't know when to be silent. And a man is

ing if he never reads a book, never contemplates the clouds or the stars or the sunset, and thinks poetry is just for sissies.
AND a man is

ing if he takes his wife or girlfriend out and spends the entire time looking at other women.
For your reading enjoyment, I thought I'd include this little story:
A man wanted to get married.
He was having trouble choosing
among three likely candidates.
He gives each woman a present of $5,000
and watches to see what they do
with the money.
The first does a total make-over.
She goes to a fancy beauty salon,
gets her hair done, new make-up
and buys several new outfits,
then dresses up very nicely for the man.
She tells him that she has done this
to be more attractive for him
because she loves him so much.
The man was impressed.
The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts.
She gets him a new set of golf clubs,
some new gizmos for his computer,
and some expensive clothes.
As she presents these gifts,
she tells him that she has spent
all the money on him
because she loves him so much
Again, the man is impressed.
The third invests the money in the stock market.
She earns several times the $5,000.
She gives him back his $5,000
and reinvests the remainder
in a joint account.
She tells him that she wants to save
for their future
because she loves him so much.
Obviously, the man was impressed.
The man thought for a long time
about what each woman had done
with the money he'd given her.
Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.
Men are like that, you know.
There is more money being spent
on breast implants
and Viagra today
than on Alzheimer' s research.
This means that by 2040,
there should be a large elderly population
with perky boobs and huge erections
and absolutely no recollection
of what to do with either of them.
