men suck

Twilightsunflower

here is why according to me...

-they smell good without needing to put anything on
-their clothes are way more comfy and still look good
-they can reach things on the top shelf without having to stand on a chair
-they snore and its ok
-they can touch themselves in public and its acceptable
-they hold doors open
-they will let you eat the cherry off their ice cream even if they want it

need i go on???

wait oh no this is why men are awesome... sorry for the error in my title....

oh while i have your attention for a moment
-fathers who give up sleep,
- who miss work to go to appointments.
-fathers who do everything they can to make their child life better then theirs.
-fathers who sleep sitting up because that is the only way their little one can sleep cause of a cold or ear infection.
-men who do the right thing when that second line comes up pink (and no that is not always solved with a ring on the finger)
-fathers who never hit and do their best to not yell
-dads who will spend hours working to come home and play for hours passing up beers and games for tea parties and catch
-who do these things and so much more
fathers and dads and men like you are awesome!!

dead beat dads who flake and disappoint get way to much time spent on them... while real men who step up and never out are left out in the cold... i think it is time for this to change!!

This post wasn't about men versus women, so why would there need to be any mention about it? She also didn't state that women weren't great.

You left out the fact that we don't get old. We get distinguished.

I do all those things. I grew up with an a@@hole stepfather who did none of those things. I told myself then I wouldn't be like that.

I can say now that I am the proud father of a wonderful 12 year old daughter and I do those things. My only regret is I work too much. I need to figure out how to slow down.

The man in my life is not a dad, but I watched him get up every 2 hours to bottle feed 4 baby kittens from the rescue we foster for.

Animal rescue guys are also awesome!

You forgot men who don't strangle their girlfriends for dressing them in a pink g-string (and taking pictures...) while they're passed out from working 48hrs straight...

Sorry, had to bring that over from the other thread!!

Seriously though...this post, just like your other...really touches me as a man, and a single Dad. Your husband is a lucky, lucky man .

Thanks man...you saved me a rather sarcastic reply .

Trail_Addict

Let it be known that I was here before *kitten* got ugly. LOL

OP- Another great post.

Natx83

Bout time there was a couple of anti-men bashing threads on MFP... Maybe if the man haters spent less time dwelling on their hate, they might open their eyes and mind enough to let the right guy in.. Just saying

And yes, you partner is lucky. Guys like to feel appreciated to!

warmachinejt

yes men suck for the most part...xcept my brother he's even saved my life once (for reals)

crisanderson27

Ladies...I love you all...seriously.

In a totally platonic non-player way of course.

MrsSassyPants

Love it! And so true. I married a WONDERFUL man!

BeautifulKristen

you forgot to add

They don't get periods
They don't have to be pregnant to make babies

Samstudent88

Uhm, what man are you talking about....the father of MY child does none of those things....MY own father does...Not all men are great...just like not all women are great...

The father of My child barely changes a diaper....and would rather play video games than deal with the boy...and this man..is 43. Not someone in their twenties...

great post, thanks for noticing the real men of the world

also, women are pretty awesome as well, I know I wouldn't be able to carry another human inside of me. plus I would be a big pansy when it was time to give birth. so to all the great women out there :drinker:
