To me and many others, "being a man" does not mean standing and watching over the wife while she hoovers, washes the dishes in the kitchen, dusts, changes the dirty nappies, gets the kids ready for school after having prepared brakfast for everyone, etc, etc.....
Being a man, means, broadly speaking, taking responsability for your own actions, being helpful and ready to share the workload with your partner.
Being generous with your time, to listen, and guide, give advice even if it not followed through, generally being compassionate in everything you do.
Not forgetting being protective without possessiveness.
But obviously mr "bloke" medallion man likes to be compared to club carrying neanderthals.

He seems to have gone a bit quiet. Maybe the missus gave him a clip round the ear and told him to get back to the household chores.

Interesting... Arrogant.. I would suggest that you fit the bill perfectly.. judging from some of your comments on other threads.. Your arrogance stems from a small person with a little authority... the corporal syndrome..
In terms of popularity, that can be addressed... However corporal.. you have the power, how you choose to exercise it defines the man..

Having not visited the site for a few days and just read this thread from start to finish, have to stay it's been funny
To add my two pesos worth.
I wanted to be at the birth of my daughter, however my wife insisted that it was not the done thing in the phillippines.
I do believe she was generally embarrassed that i would want to be in there.
In the end i relented - my dad wasn't at any of my siblings births, so i just assumed it was like the UK 30 years ago

Hi Deck.. Thanks for Dropping by..
Indeed 30 years ago this was the norm.. This pink revolution feminist crap.. "OH help me push darling" is beginning to devalue the male genome. Why I even know some sad **ssy whipped wimps that attend prenatal classes with their women... just how whipped can a man get..shameful..

This statement of yours may well hold true to some extent, but I can assure you 100% that my wife does not enter into that bracket.
Nor many other wifes, members of this forum.
Actually, a lot of the ladies, on board here, resent supporting some of the lazy relatives back home, and only give some help when it is really needed.
However, In saying that, I must also bring to attention the fact that some of the ladies are being given the "Guilt trip" by the family and are emotionally blackmailed into giving total support.

I was present at the birth of my first one and inhaled more gas and air than she did...Take my advise...If you go in for no other reason then to try gas and air you will not be disappointed..
Beats the pub hands down.

There's been enough gas and air on this thread for a lifetime.
It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.

Personally speaking I think am man enough to admit that there is now way I would want to be present at the birth of my child, but hope I would be man enough to be there if the missus wanted me to. If the situation ever arose of course.
I like this -
I was going to call him Juan... Kerr:lol2:

Hey! don't use our symbolic name. Use your own symbolic name as it's obvious you're not filipino. It sounds our symbolic name.:Vader:
Not all of us supports family back home from husband money. I am sorry if that is your experience. We support our husband !!!!
Juan de la Cruz is symbolically used in the Philippines to represent the "Filipino". The name is roughly the equivalent of the American Uncle Sam and John Doe. Juan de la Cruz is usually depicted wearing the native Salakot hat, Barong Tagalog, long pants, and slippers (called Chinelas in Filipino). The term Juan de la Cruz is also used when referring to the collective Filipino psyche. The terminology was coined by Robert McCulloch Dick, a Scottish-born journalist working for the Manila Times in the early 1900s, after discovering it was the most common name in blotters.
The name is Spanish which translates to "John of the Cross". The majority of Filipinos have acquired Spanish surnames largely due to more than 333 years of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The Roman Catholic Church also plays an important role in the naming of a child, with almost every other baby baptized and named after a saint. San Juan de la Cruz was a Spanish mystic and Doctor of the Church; a leading figure in the Catholic Reformation.
Activists often call Juan de la Cruz a victim of American imperialism, especially since most editorial cartoons of the American era often depicted Juan de la Cruz along with Uncle Sam.
