The Challenges Of Being A Real Man.

By Michael Baisden

My responsibility as a man is to bring my resources to the table — intellectual, financial, life experience and challenge my partner to do the same. At some point, we will have a difference of opinion on a number of issues, but it is through those differences that we challenge one another to grow! As a man, it’s not about being in charge or being right, it’s about making my partner feel secure and challenging her to see the world through the eyes and mind of her man.

The challenge for us men is to gain more knowledge and insight through reading, traveling and listening, to broaden our perspective so that an intelligent woman will respect our point of view enough to listen to what we have to say. We can’t beat our chests and raise our voices believing this is the way to lead. We must lead by our example and strength of character. Only an insecure man would expect a woman to submit to his way of thinking when he hasn’t accomplished anything with those thoughts. And only a woman who is a fool would follow a man who talks a good game but doesn’t have anything to show for it. As I said earlier, most women don’t need a man, but they definitely want a good one …

If I may just add my B.A.D. two cents to the Michael Baisden version.
Here are a few points.

 What can we build together?
We have to realize that Empires are not built by one man or woman.  Team works is a requirement to build any structure. Kingdoms are not about just  the King or Queen. When folks understand that togetherness is the only way forward.
Then  and only then will we progress personally and as couples and  a community.. tribe or whichever label you like.. therefore we will prosper together..
