We may go get out of shape, but we'll never go out of style
Sure, women can claim gender advances in so many areas that it may indeed seem like men are obsolete--on paper, that is. In the real world, where bugs need killing and fence lines need fixing, it's a different story--and one worth telling . . . to a woman.
1. A man shuts up when nothing more needs to be said.
2. He hears that knock in the engine as if it were a voice speaking only to him.
3. He provides shoulders broad enough to carry a child at a fair, a woman at a concert, and the whole world the rest of the time.
4. He shows a son what it takes to be a good man.
5. He lets the women and children go first.
6. He digs the Panama Canal and, later the same day, assembles a swing set.
7. A woman can defend herself from an attacker, but a man walking next to her keeps her from feeling afraid in the first place.
8. He keeps score at a ballgame and remembers what Grud-zielanek did in the second inning. In 1998.
9. He makes the world safe from Oprahfication.
10. He receives and truly enjoys a $6 haircut.
11. He eats cold pizza any day, anytime.
12. He finds a way to fit her 17 bags in the car for a trip to the pool.
13. He forgives and forgets.
14. He works the remote without looking at it while toggling back and forth between two football games, a Bond film, and a CSI rerun, without missing a key moment in any of them.
15. He puts naked women in movies.
