What is wrong with being a real man? like in the old days?


Question:
In the news, “Over the past two decades, levels of the sex hormone in U.S. men have been falling steadily” from http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20061027/hl_.
I think it is because the world does not promote the old age image of a man. Boys use to grow up wanting to be like Sean Connery hairy chest and all. Remember the old Bond, James Bond. Or even the strongest image of being a man The Duke John Wayne. Now I see men acting like boys with baggy pants on. Other should be men shaving their chest bare. What happened to the male role model? What is your take?

Answers:
not a thing wrong with being a real man too bad there aren't more of them around. even though i am young i'd take a sean connery/john wayne type over most of the guys i meet.
So actors are your role models? Really? Which ones? Mel Gibson? "Ahnahld?" Role models for what? Dysfunctional personalities?
all young boys should aspire to be like chuck norris
Ya the Rock Hudson's.

If ya wanna get laid gotta do what the chicks like.
chicks got more say than they did 50 years ago.

Honey let me tell you something. I love John Wayne I really do. But do you hear the news every once in awhile? School age boys taking loaded guns and knives to schools and shooting and stabbing others students and facility. That's coming from the "men" you call role models, buddy. Men don't need to be violent now days. In a woman's point of view a man can be a man by NOT being VIOLENT by shooting and stabbing people, or blowing the crap out of something or someone. Whats wrong with being a GENTLEMAN??
people do whatever they like these days even if its bad they still do it
Well this is simple your key information in your question is "like in the old days" think about that ok enuff time to think, it is simple back then you had to work for what you got and not just on the job i mean even at home now we can go to the stores and purchase what ever we want when before you worked for what you had food (hunted) warmth (chopped wood) see what i am saying, the reason testosterone is dropping is because men are evolving and dropping what is not needed anymore which explains why there is a decrease in this. the body does not need it anymore and with each generation it sheds a little more so does it mean since women have entered the workforce that our testerone level has increased over the years?
It goes along with the degradation of society.
changes in diet, exercise, attitude
are responsible for "today's man"
(and today's man isn't called "duke"--more's the pity)

1) modern lifestyles contribute to reduced leves of testosterone in men.
--men are less physical than nature intended; and, consume many artificial (unhealthy) ingredients
2) modern society has redefined "male".
--things that weren't considered masculine are now de rigeur; and, things that made a definitive man, are now eschewed.


a few articles in support of above theory:

".exercise can increase level of testosterone.also, level of this hormone can benefit from in generally healthy living without smoking and drinking alcohol."
http://www.steadyhealth.com/natural_cure.

".there are six different kinds of steroid hormones that are currently approved by fda for use in food production in the us."

".man-made chemicals in our food, environment and household goods."

".secret chemicals in our food."

".report on human exposure to environmental chemicals."

".changing masculinity."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/metrosexual.

".why is there no men's movement?."
http://www.homeport.org/~blake/theory3.h.
this has nothing to do with actors,but,I AGREE SOMEWHAT!MEN ARE NOT "ALLOWED" TO BE MEN ANYMORE!YOU SEE THE DIRECTION SOCIETY IS GOING IN!AND THE SAME GOES FOR WOMEN! IF WE ARE FREE TO &BE WHAT WE WANT,WHY IS EVERYONE COMPLAINING?

ps.nothing wrong with a man shaving excess body hair---JUST STOP TWEEZING YOUR DAMN EYEBROWS!
times ah changing
