27 Ways to Be a Modern Man (You Will Barf Alert)
NY Times ^ | 9/29/15 | BRIAN LOMBARDI

Posted on 10/01/2015 5:59:43 AM PDT by 1010RD

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.

If this is modern American man, we're doomed because his boss is educating our kids. There's all kinds of progressive dumbness in the article. The above is just a sampling.

Actually, I mainly teach THEM new stuff every day. They're little kids. I have a wife and three older sisters I already learned all I needed to know about the stuff that is exclusively "girl".

That was painful to read.
Can you imagine the sniveling little pansy who would result from that conglomeration of characteristics?

If that is true, then we are finished.

Except when the kids were ababies AND my wife was sick, the dishes are NOT part of my domain. If they were, we'd be exclusively on paper. Paper dishes are modern.

Some of these are just gay, or at the least Metrosexual.

Most others are due to lack of education. Education that comes from the parents. The breakdown of the family unit in this country is responsible for many of the ills we see today. It WILL be responsible for the ultimate destruction of a once great Nation.

I guess I’m not a modern man. My dog takes care of the dishes.

23. The modern man has all of Michael Mann’s films on Blu-ray (or whatever the highest quality thing is at the time).

Someone has to tell Mark Steyn about this.

The Left celebrates the Beta Male at Home and the Alpha Savage over seas...

Because they are mentally disconnected.

When I was in the Marine Corps, there was something we referred to as poon-tang ... but I don't think it's the same :)

This “modern man” wonders why his wife withholds sex from him every night. Women, more than anybody hold contempt in their hearts and vaginas for “men” like this.

Yep. This is the male of the species being produced in our government brainwashing centers. The Nazis knew that if you control the schools, you own the future.

This is a global plot that transcends mere human conspiracy. This is all (third world invasion of the entire first world, fags being celebrated as normal human beings, selling the unborn for profit, etc) positively demonic.

This is the best part of the article:

“Brian Lombardi lives in DeKalb, Ill., with his wife, Linda, and their three children.”

Obviously, the kids aren’t his.

Well, it is difficult to fire with a limp wrist.

It is TANG that the Chinese Astronauts drink.

Gotta be of a certain age to get that one.

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.

Who buys shoes for their spouse? I always make sure I get the correct size lingerie.

8. The modern man uses the proper names for things. For example, he’ll say “helicopter,” not “chopper” like some gauche simpleton.

I prefer to use the term scattergun, if it means I'm a simpleton, then so be it.

9. Having a daughter makes the modern man more of a complete person. He learns new stuff every day.

Having a son means his organs will be a closer match to mine should the need arise and what other reason would I want kids for?

10. The modern man makes sure the dishes on the rack have dried completely before putting them away.

I use modern conveniences like a dishwasher whether it's a machine or the little woman, it gets done.

12. The modern man checks the status of his Irish Spring bar before jumping in for a wash. Too small, it gets swapped out.

Lava is gentle-er.

13. The modern man listens to Wu-Tang at least once a week.

It's slowly dawning on me that this has to be satire.

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.

That is a tactical blunder as I plan to use the wife as a shield.

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.

What does this even mean?

25. The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn’t own one, and he never will.

I have no need of a Ferrari, yet I want one.

26. The modern man cries. He cries often.

No.

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.

Does he mean free clinic and boy do I have a story behind that.
