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.

Sounds like a “modern man” is a complete pussy. I’ll stick with being a patriotic redneck thank you very much.

With men like this on the rise, it is no wonder there are so many lesbians.

The “modern man” will get his butt kicked and his wife and daughter will become the chattel property of jihadists.

The man is supposed to walk on the outside when walking down the sidewalk. I learned this from my father in 1968. He also doesn’t know what the dish rack is for.

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

I'm slightly more modern than you.

Sometimes the cat helps the dog.

NYT says he has 3 kids.

I am willing to bet they aren’t genetically related.
