...the character
There is a lot of words were said about how to detect a character of man according to number of things that surrounds him, but there is only one thing that can tell you whether he is a man or...or not. And that thing is a character of a man. It is common for nowadays that there is no big difference between a man and a woman. For somehow, women are thirsty for being men. They have forgotten about their inborn features and aims, they want to prove everyone that they are as strong as men are. As a result of this weird desire of women the men turned into something they haven't been before.
It is important for us to remain just like the nature wants us to be, this is the only way the life should be. Man was born to protect his woman and his family. He was born to struggle with troubles and problem that are inseparable components of our life. It is a man the one who is strong enough to fulfil protective function and there is no way for woman to do that without get hurt. It is wrong to blame someone in what is going on today, but it is right to say that women started these weird changes and men agreed with them.
Man has to treat woman like the most precious thing of his life. It is a woman who has to care about man and provide him with shelter where he can has a rest when he is tired of struggling. It is a man who has to provide the shelter with protection and make it safe place. But it is a woman who has to provide that shelter with love and hearth. There is no way for those functions to be mixed, there is no way for a woman to do men's task and for a man to do women's task. A man has to be a man and a woman has to be a woman.
It is only the real man the one who is able to refuse women's desire to be a man. He is the woman who is able to realise that indeed women do want to be protected and cared about. The constant revealing of inner strength for women is just another try to provoke something very important in man. And the man is able to realise it, he is calm and wise enough for not to burst in yelling and do something that will bring things back like they were from the very beginning.
Stop complaining about your man is not manly enough. Try to analyse your own behaviour. If you always show him that you are strong enough to do everything on your own soon he will trust in that it is true and there will be no need for him to protect you. With the laps of time a number of other important things will become things of no importance, and the core of life will be lost. Let man be a man and woman be a woman. In this case there will be no need for you to detect his character as every man will be the man one can happily spend her life with.
