Being a modern man today is no different than it was a century ago. It’s all about adhering to principle...
1. When the modern man buys shoes for his spouse, he doesn’t have to ask her sister for the size. And he knows which brands run big or small.
8. The modern man uses the proper names for things. For example, he’ll say “helicopter,” not “chopper” like some gauche simpleton.
9. Having a daughter makes the modern man more of a complete person. He learns new stuff every day.
10. The modern man makes sure the dishes on the rack have dried completely before putting them away.
12. The modern man checks the status of his Irish Spring bar before jumping in for a wash. Too small, it gets swapped out.
13. The modern man listens to Wu-Tang at least once a week.
16. The modern man lies on the side of the bed closer to the door. If an intruder gets in, he will try to fight him off, so that his wife has a chance to get away.
20. On occasion, the modern man is the little spoon. Some nights, when he is feeling down or vulnerable, he needs an emotional and physical shield.
25. The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn’t own one, and he never will.
26. The modern man cries. He cries often.
27. People aren’t sure if the modern man is a good dancer or not. That is, until the D.J. plays his jam and he goes out there and puts on a clinic.

I hope she has a well-cushioned place in her purse where she carries his gonads. He obviously only has occasional use for them.
I don't know about "often", but I came very close to being a blubbering fool in public last night. Had to turn around and stare at a brick wall until I got it together.
Watched my youngest son march down the street for the homecoming parade. He was wearing his junior ROTC uniform for the first time, marching with his high school unit. Made me glad for small town America, and some things for which we still stand.
Brian Lombardi has a vagina. It’s the only way to explain this.
Sounds like a real loser if you ask me. Thank goodness i married and raised non-modern men.
Pajama Boy?
I fail them all. What the hell is Wu-Tang?
I failed too but do know that “Poo-Tang” is Wu-Tang’s sister.
I think Buckwheat smoked dope to their tunes..... :-)
And now it shows!!!
On the one hand, I really do hate the 'real men don't cry' cliche. Personally, I find the attempt to suppress grief to be immature and faux-masculine. You want to be masculine, that means that you need to acknowledge that you happen to have feelings as well.
On the other hand, there's a big difference between acknowledging and expressing your emotions and letting them control you.
I think the ingredients in the bottle are plastic too!
:-)
It’s October 1, not April 1!
The author of this repeatedly misspells gay.

BRIAN LOMBARDI is a disgrace to the Lombardi name.
BRIAN LOMBARDI is a disgrace to the Lombardi name.
Just a wild guess here, but I’ll bet you still have both testicles, too. :-)
I’m sure glad modern men didn’t storm the beaches of Normandy.
The modern man cries. He cries often.
The list neglected to state that the modern man also wets the bed..and is not ashamed to admit it.
Wow. Anyone who has to refer to a limp-wristed urban scribbler for a definition of “man”, isn’t. And by the way, if the dishes are in the rack they are “put away”. And if a modern man has no need of a gun, what’s he supposed to kill commies with, hairspray and a cigarette lighter?
