Im not but 25,so im no old guy or anything,but the men i see these days are not men, and im not talking about opening car doors or pulling the chair out for a lady, im talking grow *** men that have no clue how to change a tire,change oil in a car,put a mailbox up,fix a leaky roof and the list goes on and on....have we gotten that soft? if so were in trouble.What has happened to men?LOL!! I have noticed this too. I blame increasing urbanisation and an increase in the number of white collar jobs. Men don't have the traditional skills and they don't pass them on to their sons.
We have been taught to outsource all our %26quot;menial%26quot; jobs...but as you say...what happens when we need to know how to do things.
personally my father was very competent at this sort of thing and since I was the son he never had he taught me many of them. So I am quite able to change a tyre for a man and have done it on more than one occasion.
Though I must admit that I lose all interest in a guy once I have swung a door for him or changed the oil in his car!! ROFL!! They may get home after the breakdown, but they don't get any further with me!!
My own husband is very handy. It is one of the reasons I fell for him!!What has happened to men?glad you think these things matter! i'm glad my hubby is not a metrosexual myself.What has happened to men?I kinda agree with your question but I can't say that they're all the same. My BF, for example, doesn't know how to do some of the handy stuff around the apartment but it's not because he's lazy or is afraid of getting his hands dirty (lol). He just never learned how. His dad is the same way. While my dad can fix just about anything. It really all depends...What has happened to men?Well, my dad doesn't know how to do that stuff (though he'll tell you he can), but that's just because he repels any type of handy man stuff. You know Tim the Toolman Taylor? That's what my dad is like. My brother, however, can do most of that stuff. I don't really care if my husband can do any of that though...RA is for changing tires, I don't want to deal with the laws of getting rid of motor oil, so don't be changing oil at my house... I don't think the %26quot;handy%26quot; factor makes a man. I think the character is what makes the man.
LC-BWhat has happened to men?You're right.
I'm 27 and I can't do any of those things. I can barely wire a plug.
I'm not proud of that btw.
How can I learn?What has happened to men?I know what you mean and I think I am a partial victim of this condition. I'm now 28, but as a kid I was too busy playing Nintendo to watch my dad work on the car and fix roof. I think technology has something to do with it. Probably some laziness as well.What has happened to men?Its time all these soft, urban males take control of their own world and realize that in the event that society or the economic world falls apart, you WILL be sunk and drowning in a shallow pond if you have no worldly skills.
Skills like carpentry, building a home, pouring concrete, roofing, repairing an engine and other mechanics, wiring, how to grow a garden, drill a shallow well, or even just change a tire...will make the difference whether you survive or become a fatality. Secondly, wouldnt it be smart to know how to do anything other than how to turn on your video games? Or are you proud that's the extent of your survival skills?What has happened to men?I no they just wanna go to the mall and get a hollister shirt and text like little girlsWhat has happened to men?Not completely. My step dad works hard at stuff like that fixing things around the house,holding doors open, etc. these new generations today are obsessed with things that they dont really care about-they rather pay for it to be fixed than get something done themselves. Men who do things and aren't lazy have been brought up right by their elders.What has happened to men?Nowadays there's always someone you can call to do those things for you, I guess that's why some men don't know how to do it. Everything is just so easy...but I agree with you, it's good if a man can still do those things, but even women should be able to change a tire and oil, the basic stuff.
