Ya know,i agree with what you wrote but your confusing what i said,im not talking about taking my wife out & having guy's hit on her & me "puffing up",im an old guy,shit,i can barely work my way out of a pair of boxer shorts that are too tight let alone puff up,it isnt about puffing up or showing ass,it's about dignity & self respect.
My wife is a MILF & get's hit on all the time by younger dudes,fuk,that flatters the shit out of me & makes me feel good that my wife still looks that good & makes me feel even better knowing that she's with me,what im talking about is some sneaky little bastard working from behind the scenes, knowing full well im there,then acting as if I DONT MATTER,i refuse to be disrespected like that.
Like i said before,it wouldnt be about the female at that point,it would be about having pride in one's self.
Its easy to sit back & make up excuses why you didnt act, like there are more fish in the sea, i didnt need her anyway or even the "real men" or "confidence" excuse but excuses are just what they are,a cop out,again it wouldnt be about her,it would be about me & the pride i have in myself,it's about standing up for YOURSELF & having dignity, not about jealousy.
Somebody else mentioned kids in this thread & it's a damm good point,later on in life if you have son's, try talking to them about man things when your closet is full of excuses & skeletons ,or an ass load of times you just walked away,fuk that,not me brother.
Dig this.
First it starts off with some guy acting like your an inviso asshole while he's inviting your girl to his house for dinner & a movie,lets use the "more fish in the sea" or "real confident man" excuse on this one then walk away.
Next the same rico suave is comming to your house while your gone & having big fun with all your shit,now let's use the "real men are secure" excuse & tell ourself their just friends.
Next rico suave starts calling your house to talk to your girl while your home,knowing full well that your there,instead of driving over to his house & making him eat that fukin phone lets use the "im secure" excuse again.
Next the same bozo smashes your car window out after your girl blows him off & proclaims her true love for you,instead of gettin in his ass let's use the "it's ok ive got insurance" excuse.
See the excuses,they all seem like logical approaches to things that happen every day,until you add them all up over the years,then they become a way of life,a pattern of logical & cool sounding excuses.
The problem with walking away & making excuses for it when shit hits the fan is this,excuses become a way of life for weak men & others can see it in their eyes,people mistake kindness or indifference as a sign of weakness,weak men become prey.
