@Gentleman_Ways@DGR_Institute Came here to say this exact thing. Great post, I talk about this a lot too, standards have certainly devolved, since COVID it’s good to even have anyone actually show up and not flake out!
“Read books. Travel when you can. Learn how to cook one meal exceptionally well. Sit in old bars and talk to strangers. Wear your best jacket to dinner. Appreciate good wine, good music, and good conversation. Do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Set the example for younger men who are watching you. Call your parents. Take long walks. Leave your phone behind sometimes. Become the kind of man people feel better after being around. Life is short, so live it well.”
-J.B. Lloyd
Masculinity isn’t toxic.
It means protecting those who depend on you, providing for your family, accepting responsibility, and serving something greater than yourself.
Strong families and prosperous societies depend on honorable men.
Does society know the value of masculinity?
Decline is a choice. Decay is a choice. But thanks to @POTUS, America is choosing renewal over resignation, restoration over deterioration and beauty over blight.
Today, Columbus Circle once again reflects the pride, strength and promise of the United States of America.
Could you imagine if there were notebooks that said “The future is male” at department stores? Mugs that say “I drink female tears.” Sweaters that say “Dump Her.” What would little girls think if they saw those?
I just don’t understand why it’s acceptable the other way around.
@thewaronbeauty I bought a dictionary from the 80s on eBay with the exact intention of being able to sanely reference what words were documented to mean. It is fascinating to leaf through.
I’ve been in the Deep South they are huge on manners and how you conduct yourself.
Always friendly polite and always asking you if you need anything.
I’ve never gone into any establishment that’s not friendly to everyone.
They just hold a higher standard in manners.
Love that about the southern areas of America.
