Where have all the men gone???

Well was planning to write this from a long time and see when I am at peak of my work I felt like writing it.....Of course murphy law of work..Anyway I am a dedicated blogger so I will scribble

A thing that spins around my mind while a lady passing by me exclaims..."Where have all the men gone"...No she wasn't infact talking about the male creature roaming all around but the concept of men in her head. The Knight with shining armour who was supposed to sweep her feet away from earth on one glance and kill the beast in second to win her....Well the first quality still seems to be there a little but the other ones called manliness, bravery or courage has vanished very quickly.

In golden era of Manhood, the word Man was itself manly...a tall figure with strength of body and character used to appear in mind but now whenever I say man a quick glance of Alpha Male or Meterosexual Male comes into mind which has a false sense of crafted body in gym and same crafted character to be opportunistic.

The Man I tend to compare with are Maximus, Spartans, Chanakya, Akbar, Bhagat Singh, Guru Gobind Singh, Mahatma Gandhi, Mangal Pandey. They ofcourse were legends and some mythological that showed the character of Men. Infact I dont mean the manliness is in virility..No absolutely no but the six qualities are BALANCE , CONFIDENCE, INDEPENDENCE , DISCRETION, DETERMINATION and LETHAL.

Infact on a closer look to man today, I will say a womanly man, (ladies no offence intended). He will grew long hair on head or tonsure, shave himself all over, put tatoos and piercing anywhere and look more close to opposite sex. Strength of character which is most important also seems to have been gone a tremendous change all over.
Not so long ago a man was supposed to be a one with character and brave enough to fight for his family, country etc. The now creature will ofcourse either surrender to the mightier one or run away. It might be possible he pisses off seeing the enemy. So what is this Alpha or Meterosexual male creatures and how they are being created or nurtured to become such a mockery of one entire sex that there is a possibility of mankind left being one sided sex to be distinguished by genitals only !!!

Well it has a deep down cause and that is upbringing which makes them overly senstive, emotionally unstable and infidel too. In olden days a child was nourished and protected upto a certain age and then was left out to develop all the manly skills of bravery, character of leader and then survive. The domination of woman in upbringing of children often leads a step towards such development. The mother taking more care of their sons brings this doom of him becoming a coward, world fearing and pretentious or too sensitive male. Well it is in nature of woman whether mother,sister, girlfriend or wife to care, but the one who keep enjoying it believing it as the world always falls prey. More sensitive, more feminine part starts growing into himself as he forgets his gender role. In recent times when men need not to fight for his food and kind of work he does is non physical. Infact most of the young men in early and tender age are mostly at home whether its study or play time. Thanks to the era of Computers Xbox and Internet and later IT and Software Jobs. This develops firstly a reserved personality and then a coward body. Of course these are the men who slowly to overcome the lack of manly qualities take course of cunningness and false preying. They begin with such and then delve into much more horrendous acts of drinking, drugs, abusing and fighting (of course mouth to mouth mostly). More darkness they move into more grasp them leaving to a confused persona and unstable or unbalanced life. They don't have confidence to face the world turning them into selfish and traitors. Yes I believe its quite possible to get into this loop of lasciviousness whether its wine or woman, but to able to discretize and live above it is the virtue of able men. A man is supposed to make his own independent decisions, no matter how much clever or wicked men/women surround him. He is supposed to take care of all beings around him with a determination of good will prevailing within his family, society and country. He should be somebody whom his next generation should try to emulate.

The alpha male might be able to show off his six pack abbs develop in the gym but where are the six pack of qualities which constitude to make a man , THE MAN and which is missing will keep real women guessing and craving for ......
