John Woo'd Me
My arms are burning, but I can't stop now. 10, 9, 8, 7... Lactic acid courses through my muscles. Sweat drips from my forehead. The sound of gunfire and explosions fills the room. Time is running out. The clock is ticking down. 6, 5, 4..... I'm exhausted, but I push through the pain. 3... I grit my teeth. 2... I'm going to make it. 1. The microwave dings just as my arms give out. I did it. A new b
Charlie'sMovieMoveIt: I consider myself more sentimental than most men, as I grew up with a single mom. I'm the kind of guy who will make a call or write letters to his close friends then just to say hello, and how much I missed the old times etc. Some of them thought it was odd for me to do so as they don't know how to react, and some of them enjoyed it. As I kept doing it, they knew this is how I am, and they accepted. When they miss me, well, they rarely say so, but they would let me know through some other actions. You see, whether being sentimental or "tough" is not really a typical men thing, and it's likely that some men don't know how to react to sentimental things properly. Apart from natural cause like personality, common social values and educations also has a big impact on men's behavior. Do men want to be sentimental? When you see a man cry, you would know that most of his tear are not freshly made for today. He would rather keep silence, as he can't understand why some of the tears were already there long before he knows. Moreover, he would refuse to admit it. That is dumb, you know. Men definitely have the potential to not be stubborn. We can see the differences between kids and grown up men. On the other hand, when I'm not so sentimental, I would rather express my feelings through real actions, like ask them out to go fishing, have a dinner, play some games etc, all kinds of stuffs that men would typically do. Do we get jealous, mad or sad if the other win the game, we do, as normal human. However, the point is, the person we choose to hang out with, are usually the person we genuinely feel happy and fulfilling with every progress that he make, the person we would help when he mess up, and also the person we want to show our progress or mess to. (So you see two dude swear, compete, do dumb things and after that they are still friends) This is a long comment, and you might wonder "Why this dude left such a long comment to me." Well, you know, most men want to be known. And we often see women knowing us in a way that they think they know us. You didn't do that, and you actually care to ask, "Hey, men, what you really are?" Thank you for the respect.
