Man-up: Spoiled men ruin lives

I'm not sure if it's me or just that the news covers certain subjects better now, but there seems to be an increasing number of adult men who 1) Can't seem to keep their hands of underage girls, and 2) When confronted by a wife who wants a divorce, seem to go off the deep end. They seem to think the world owes them something, that if they don't get what they perceive is their "right" --- in their twisted little world -- they just take it.

There's been several well-reported kidnappings of students and the disappearance of several wives (a few of which have already been solved), and I can't help but wonder why these socially inept asses don't man-up. Being a man isn't easy; you're more likely to get turned away by lots of women (adult women) before you find one attracted to you, but that's life. Suck it up! And hey, this just in, sometimes your marriage falls apart. Probably because your lazy ass has become fat, bald and unappreciative of what your wive did/does for you. But I guess they're supposed to be miserable for the rest of their lives 'cause, well, life on your side of the fence is great -- you don't do a Goddamn thing.

If you're one of these types of guys who are debating your next course of action and you're leaning towards taking out your frustrations on someone else -- man-up! For just this one moment in your insignificant little life, act like a real man and move on down the line without hurting someone else in the process. Try this:

She says: "Bob, I want a divorce."
Bob says: "Well baby girl, I love the hell out of you, but if it's not working for you, you need to do what will make you happy. Besides, I want you to be happy. What you say we split everything?"
She says: "I think that'll work."

And off you both go to live a new life of leisure. Nobody goes to jail, you still keep half and that's that.

So instead of screwing up or even taking a life -- try doing what every man on the planet has done since the social dance began; try and try again. Take your beating like a man, move on, take another, and another, and another, and then, when some young lady is willing to give you a shot, man-up! Take care of your business; prove to her you're not the loser you probably are.

I'm tired of hearing it's a disease or that you just snapped because the wife was leaving. It happens to the best of us ... hell, if you part amicably, she might even find a new respect for you!

In a stretch of logic, those men who can't move on and become violent kind of remind me of the suicide bombers in the Middle East right now. In their case, I realize life isn't what they expected it would be, that certain religious zealots are preaching hate, but why strap on a bomb and take out the innocent lives of others -- I'd prefer they also man-up. I'd suggest leading by example, starting with Dr. Ayman al-Zawahri and Osama bin Laden.
