well nowadays being a real man requires more than just having some stupid useless muscles and working a 8$ an hour manual job... the world and human condition has changed a lot quickly over the last decades and some men are still following old and indaptated schemes -transimmted to them by their own fathers most of the time- that get them nowhere, while others are evolving adequatly -as did their fathers.
A huge growing number of others who didnt have a father ar equally as losts.
by the way i didnt comment on the fact that a "man" is asking other men how beautiful they think he looks with a beard or without it...
Uberman, in today's world men increasing are acting like women, and vice versa. Women, in general don't know what they want. And what still takes place is the woman chooses the man. Women, still want a protector, provider, etc, but they want a man that represents 50 other things. Men have always known that you can't get a woman that is all 50 things, so they date 50 women!
As it has always been, character is what really determines a man. This will not change. Unfortunately, it's the last thing on a woman's list when looking for a man, right under "knowing how to open mouth".
And why is this? Well most women today grow up with no father, or parents are divorced or a father whose balls are in the pantry---top shelf.
A lack of a strong male influence affects both males and females. Males start to act like that "coolio" character who got snotbox busted. Women start to act either like men used to or like whores.
And thesecwomen who are making tons of money, have degrees and whatnot? Come to find out, they aren't happy. Somebody told them that once they get all this, there would be pie in sky. And many of these women had men willing to be with them, but they push those men aside, and look what happens, they are all alone.
Sev ain't a bad dude, I probably suggest he asks a female friend what is best, and work on his personality. Getting pussy is nice, but once you fulfill who you are and grow, getting pussy becomes complentary to your personal growth and experience.
