Go to General Conference and look at all the guys under 25. You'll see more manicured nails and lip balm that you'd have DREAMED of a few years back.

Thank God my husband is not like that.....our budget can't afford two high-maintenance people!

IBC came to our youth convention a few years ago. While service was roaring they entered through the main aisle in the back. They walked down the aisle by me and I about puked when I saw that many of the GUYS had on lipstick and make-up.

I suppose it was for stage presence but it was sicko anyway.

Nope...it's just a part of grooming now.

(I agree, though....sicko)

I think Political correctness has gone a long way in emasculating men.

I do know that real mean can show emotion and yet not be weak. They can handle the harshness of the real world everyday battles and yet come home and be tender with the wife and kids. A real man can take a punch and control his own anger. A real man can fish, hunt, camp and still clean up nice enough to go to a fancy restaurant. A real man can quote the Bible and read Louis L'Amour.

How's that for starters?
