Speaking for myself, as a man, but also for my male and female friends…Life is down right tough and unfair for all us humans, both men and women.
My attitude is that it is best I simply take responsibility for my thoughts, words, and actions and get on with it. I surround myself with those people who like me for myself and tend to be a lot less concerned and worried these days about someone taking offense for what I said or did, particularly if no offense by me was meant.
I surround myself with people who are successful like myself and going forward/making things happens. I don’t have the time to focus, particularly with respect to strangers, on those crying in their beer or claiming victimhood.
I have a job to do as a man, as I see it, and I get on with it. Yep, I have a few slabs of concrete (my failures) I am draggin behind me, but I refuse to drag anyone else’s slab or fix it for them.
I have a girlfriend that is really great. I know several other beer crying ladies and men that, well, will simply order another beer to cry in tomorrow.
When I turned 55, I decided it was time to be a feisty grumpy old fart, and I haven’t looked back. Let the young guys run down the hill, I’ll walk.
