Isn't it obvious this thread was meant for MEN (REAL MEN) and NOT boys.

Mynd_44:
"Was meant for" who is it meant for now?

acidtalk:

Okay you win! Now can we concentrate on the Qualities Of A REAL Man?

Mynd_44: Silly list.......how can you expect me to leave the remote when I have a match coming up?

PrettieJ:
so u won't leave the remote for me.....?

Nashville:

Absolute rubbish. Must your "real man" be poor? A man must not live a sad and pitiful life to be termed a real man. And I can assure you most 9ja girls will never marry your definition of a real man!

Pianobender: [color=#006600][/color] I feel u joOr. Dude z talkin bout a real egolistic poor man. . . . . .

acidtalk: Other Definition Of A Real Man Include;

* He will rather go into the room and sleep or read the dailies than struggling with the remote control with his wife and children.

* He knows the tedious house chores in the home and will do them all before his woman even thinks of asking for assistance.

* He will never request financial support from his wife but drop his last dime for the upkeep of the home.

* He doesn't raise a eye brow at his wife's salary and income even though she might be earning more than him.

* He will NEVER deprive his wife or children anything even when they have come up with behaviors that made him weep in private.

* He places his wife and children's wants even before his own needs.

* He never thinks cooking or doing the families laundry is a favour from pluto. He sees it as a treat even when the wife see it as a huge favour.

* He never tries to win argument with his voice being the loudest or having the last say. Rather he wins every argument with his silence and soft words.

Asking for her financial assistance when the need so arises not measuring how much he is spending and comparing it with how much his partner is bringing.

He should let them have their way with it comes to tv issues. Aside the news, watching of tv (even when it comes to soccer) could be watched out or postponed.

sanb: Haha Lol; he won’t win if he tries struggling with the remote control with his wife/kids; so when there’s a football match going on….rather than watch the match, he’ll go and read the dailies ehh…..

For this point, a real man will never request financial assistance from his wife when he’s broke; I’ll call such a man a proud man.

What exactly is wrong if he asks his wife for financial assistance when he’s broke? I see nothing wrong there…..I thought the wife acts as a helper for her husband and if her husband is broke; then why not?

I think it’s more of an ego thing if a man as you say never asks a dime from his wife to feed his family when he’s currently not able to do so…...

As his wife; I’ll not even wait for it to get to that stage before I provide cover so that my hubby won’t need to stress himself unnecessarily out of not being able to provide for the up-keep of the home……

Mynd_44:
And if she can't sleep without me close by, she can come rest her head on my legs on the couch.

sanb: Well, from a ladies perspective, I don't see anything wrong if a wife wants to contribute financially to the paying of bills in the household. I know some men might not really like the idea as you said; but, be rest assured that some husbands do appreciate their wife's financial contribution; especially if it occurs that the husband runs into some financial difficulties....the wife can assist until her husband gets back financial again.....

This is the 21st century; and gone are the days when it's purely the responsibility of the man to "Pay all the bills in the household". I see nothing wrong if a woman wants to contribute (which I would advice IMHO).....I see it as the "RIGHT THING TO DO" so that the taking care of the financial aspect of the family is not left entirely to her husband.

After all, it is a family unit; hence; both the husband and wife should make a contribution to help each other out in order to reduce any financial stress/strain that might occur within the family.

2sexy.us:
I do appreciate the contribution from her end. If she does it, I will accept it. The ish is me ASKING for it.

2sexy.us:
Besides, if my GF should give me cash just help me out with some things. Bet it that I would refund it when it's due. That's just me.[/b]
