10 Things Men Don't Care About.




These 10 Things in Life Men Don't really care about, according to me, will be presented in no particular order. This is not the computative College Football Playoff rankings. These are just some items, that although may be significant to other sectors of life and humanity, do not resonate with much importance to the fully grown adult male.

We don't care about women's shoes. Men do not care about a women's fashionable shoe collection. Whether she is wearing flip-flops, tennis shoes, our Loubiton High Heels, we do not care. We do prefer women wears shoes that are at minimum comfortable enough for them to walk in. The date, who has to be chauffered everywhere by vehicle or car, is not our favorite. In addition, no man has chosen his wife or date based solely upon her shoe style and collection. We don't choose or break up with women because of their shoe style preferences. The moral of the story is for ladies to not spend so much damn money on shoes if impressing men is the goal.

We don't care for your sappy drama filled TV Shows. Recently, a girlfriend forced me to watch the popular hit NBC TV Show titled, "This is Us." with her. She loves it. I loathed it. I really didn't like it. It is sad, dramatic, slow-moving, and appeals to your emotions. It is a tear-jerker, kleenex box, heartbreaking form of TV Show. I'm personally not a fan of drama in real life, on television, or in the media. No drama for me, and in general practice we men don't care for your drama either.

Calories, men don't care about counting calories. We don't want to diet unless we are sternly ordered by the doctor, and even then we would still reluctantly follow any sort of diet. Men eat what they want. Is that a fajita plate? Sure. Is that smokey barbeque? Sure. Is that a chocolate, vanilla ice cream Sunday dessert? Sure, eat it up! In lieu of counting calories, we plan to overcome through exercise, and lifting weights. Have you ever heard a person's appetite being described as a "man's hunger." Well, my friends, a man's hunger is a real entity unto itself. Once manhood is achieved, our bodies want and can physically engulf more food.

Excuses. Men don't care about your excuses. Whether you were raised with a silver spoon in your mouth, or you are a future rags-to-riches story. We don't have time, nor do we care to hear you whine about your excuses. We say....... don't whine, moan and bitch about it, go forth and make it happen! Create the life you desire. You are the manifest destiny leader of your own life and decisions, so don't blame anyone and go do it. Men don't care about your excuses.

Ethnicity, Background, Skin Color, and Intellect. Real men don't discriminate. We treat other men and all humans with respect. Are the doctors and lawyers smarter than me, possibly? Is the honorable hard working janitor or blue-collar construction worker less intelligent than me? Maybe here too. Yet, regardless men don't care about your status level, skin tones, or familial background. We respect all people, regardless. At the end of the day, we hope to eat a nice meal, brush our teeth and sleep soundly just like the next person.

We don't care for elaborate party planning and rsvps. I mean, RSVP's really? If we are invited to a party or social event via phone call, email or social media, you'd be amazed if we actually show up at all. For example, if we are to be the host of a birthday party or weekend nighttime kegger, we simply provide enough booze we guess will work. If more show up that is grand, if fewer people show up and the party's a  silencing dud, it happens. Life goes on. I'm not a big rsvp and party planner. I either remember to show up because it's convenient to my life, or I don't. On the flip side, as the party host, we shoot for a large social gathering, and if the numbers happen to work out with supply, well then sometimes our gut instincts are right.

We don't care about asking for directions. Thanks to the techies and scientists for smartphones, google maps, and WiFi GPS. Nowadays, we don't have to pull off the highway or street to ask for directions. In current times, even the video game playing kid in the back seat can use their phone to google map the exact address. What a wonderful invention, that smartphone mapping system! Remember when the  Apple Maps creator incorrectly screwed up the Apple Maps so bad the public advocated firing him? Well google it, it happened. As an active working real estate with a location-heavy oriented profession, I especially am an avid fan of mobile geographic mapping. Don't map and drive.

We hate admitting when we are sick or unhealthy. Men are ingrained with the idea that we must remain vital, healthy and stable. We are historically supposed to be the breadwinners of the household and providers for the family. In current times, the breadwinning stigma has waned. Yet in general, men hate being sick and admitting they cannot attend work, or go in. It's the old west, military tough mantras that still resonate with manhood. I would like to advocate for men in modern times, myself included to continue to visit your doctor and dentists on a regular basis. They say most of healthcare effectiveness is preventative. Thus it is easier to prevent and cure a disease when discovered quickly, rather than when your health has been left to rot, and deteriorate. 

We don't care about expensive beer. Expensive beer is not cool. Craft, domestic, foreign and basically all beer is bliss, yet expensive pricing for a glass of beer is unsettling. We'd prefer to leave the expensive booze tastes with the wine category. Winos' can keep the snobbery and snootiness of their beverage all to themselves. That's why the Miller High Life Beer Commerical with the working man and the powdery sugar donut as an accompaniment visually works so well. Beer is the best. You can't get too hungover drinking only beer. Beer helps with cordial social lubrication and it is also relaxing at the end of the working day. Do you agree? Beer is ideal when served freezingly cold. Hot beers are for the desperate.

We don't care about your sexuality. Why? It is because we are comfortable in our sexuality. I am a happy straight man, I have been and will be until I die. Yall can be whatever sexuality you want, we're fine that. Gay, Pansexual, Transgender, Bi-Curious, Crossdressing, Experimental phasing, whatever. You do you, and I'll do me. I'll wear a bright pink shirt, belt or sport an earning if I want to, it's not gonna change anything.

Now, what did I leave out?

It was a Success! The Lone Star Book Festival 5.29.2021 was fantastic!

The Lone Star Book Festival in the Downtown Square of Seguin, Texas today was a SUCCESS! The Indie Authors and I had a friendly, cool wholesome meal @the Power Plant Restaurant and Venue Friday night. Good times all around. The Book Festival Today had roughly 50 or so individual author, music, and art tents. All were surrounding a well manicured Seguin downtown square park with a beautiful fountain. The  streets were  blocked off, and the visiting patrons and book inquisitor guests were gracious and welcoming. The guests even bought books too. Multiple fellow authors told me they sold 15 books or more. The day started off cool, overcast and drizzly, but by 11 am or 12 noon there were blue skies and sunshine. Thanks to BookPeople for the bookmarks, and BookPeople Bumper stickers. There were so many visitors, they all got taken. ---gvm
