I accept a man’s need to be among other guys, be it once a week or 3 times a week. Every person needs it, a man in a happy relationship needs it to.
I do not accept a man acting like a pig when he meets up with his bros, especially when he is not single. Going apeshit and forgetting good manners is bad.
I accept a man’s need to be lost in the moment, focus on one thing and inability to multitask like a woman.
I do not accept a man acting absent-mindedly on purpose and refusing to answer even a simple yes/no question, during his busy man state.
I accept a man’s need to explore the world, to find himself, to look for the meaning of life.
I do not accept a man who cannot distinguish between reality and dreams. I do not condemn dreams, but there has to be a balance.
I accept that a man may never want to get married, may not see himself as a father or the had of a family. It’s a human being’s privilege to have that, not a common right.
I do not accept a man not being able to state his reasons for not wanting a family. I don’t think a man who hides his feelings is stronger or manlier than the one who states them proudly and allows others to see him in a vulnerable state.
I accept a man being a gentleman to all women, not just the one he is dating.
I do not accept a man abusing a woman’s natural reaction to a gentlemanly action, by trying to flirt with her or make her feel like she owes him for opening the door for her. A gentleman should never explain why he is being one.
I accept a guy’s need to have a drink or two and let the steam off.
I do not accept a guy who sees his significant other as the enemy to such booze nights and doesn’t offer her to have a drink with him.
I accept the fact that men are less verbal than women. They are also less obsessed with detail and finding the best word to explain something.
I do not accept a man who excuses himself from every having a meaningful, deep conversation by the simple explanation of: I am just a guy, sorry.
I accept the fact that a man would naturally prefer that his spouse takes his surname.
I do not accept a man who cannot accept his beloved woman’s choice to keep her surname.
I accept that a man gets moody at times, that he’d occasionally be jealous, he may say something totally inappropriate, that when he feel threatened or intimidated he could come across as arrogant, that he’d worry about how much money he makes almost his entire adult life and he’ll not be sure whether he is sexy enough when naked, but I also kinda like that about men. I like the fact they can burp and laugh about it, knowing it’s men’s nature. I like the fact they get hooked on something for hours and lose track of time or take a long nap right before going out while a girl takes all that time just to get dolled up. I like the fact that men can do so many things on a easy-breezy manner and be zen about it. I don’t know whether there is a man out there who will ever accept so many things about my womanly nature as I’d accept about him, but I think that’s alright too. I think way too much anyway.
