Hi Everyone,
   I may as well tell you up front that this may not seem to have anything to do with marketing...well, not in a way that would be obvious. This may require you to think a little to see the...

 Oh nevermind all that. Let's just get into it. If you get it, you get it. If you don't, you don't.

  I needed a new propane tank for my flame thrower, so I went to Wal-Mart yesterday to get one. Hey, don't judge. I have a right to own a flame thrower, just like you do. Hmm, should I get a concealed weapons permit for my flame thrower?  Nah, I'll pass.

  Anyway, I went in the store, picked out the things I needed and headed to the check out at the lawn and garden department. I'm standing in line when the cashier, a young black girl, saw me. She smiled and said, "Hi!" The way she said it, it was as if she knew me and was glad to see me.

 I said, "Hi...are you happy to see me,  or what?"

   She said, "I really am happy to see you."

   By this time I was curious because I could tell she was serious. So, you know me, I had to pursue this matter a little further.

   I said, "So, why are you so happy to see me?"

   She said, with a big smile on her face, "Because you are a M-A-N...a real MAN!" She really put a lot of emphasis on thr word MAN.

   I asked, "So you're all about da mens, huh?"

   She laughed and said, No, not the way most people may think. I'm just happy to see a real man
standing here who looks, and acts, and dresses like a real man."

   So at this point in the conversation, she looks at the two women standing behind me and asked, "Don't he look like a real man...I mean, can't you just look at him and feel it, and tell that he's a real man?

   The two women looked at me and smiled, but before they could respond the cashier said, "That shaved head, the beard...MMMM. You know what I mean, Ladies?"

   I was a little embarrassed, but now even more intrigued. So I was interested to see where this whole thing was going.
   The cashier continued with her comments before I could say anything. She said, "You don't have any holes in your ears, no necklaces or bracelets...you're not wearing a pink shirt or pastel colored shorts...all that feminine stuff guys wear now. No sir, you look like a REAL MAN! Tell him, Ladies. Y'all know what I'm talking about, don'tcha?"

   One of the women behind me spoke up and giggled as she said, "I know exactly what you're talking about."

   The other woman then spoke up, looking me right in the eye she said, "You don't have that pretty boy look that most guys go for today. You really do look like a man, and that's something that women don't see a lot of now a days. We miss seeing and being around real men."
   The cashier said, "See there, that's what I'm talking about. While ago a guy came through my line wearing a girl's top and a denim skirt. I said, 'How are you, Ma'am?" Then I saw it was a guy, and I busted out laughing. I said, 'Sorry, I thought for a second you were a woman.' He got so mad at me, and now I'll probably get in big trouble. "

   I said, "You know, it's funny, but I'm always saying that there are no real men left in today's world."
   One of the woman bhind me said, "You're right, there's not many real men left."
   The cashier asked me, "I have to ask you this...Do you wear pink?"

 I said, "No, and it's not because it's an ugly color. It's only because pink has always been a more feminine color, and has been used for centuries to distinguish males from females in the colors of their rooms, their clothing, their different objects. I believe there should be very clear differences in men and women and in the colors they wear and the things they do."

   One of the women asked me, "Do you believe men and women are equal?"

   I said, "No, I believe the man should be, and I am, the more dominate. I beleive the woman was made for the man, and not the man for the woman, just as it clearly says in the scriptures."

   I said, "Think of it this way...just pretend that you and I are married." They giggled at that notion.

   I said, I believe that as the man, I am head of the household, and it is my responsibility to love and  care for you. I would, as I do now, always discuss with you things of importance, that affect both of us, and seek your opinion, because your opinion would mean much to me. But if there was something I felt very strongly about, even if you didn't feel as strongly as I did, I would make that final decision, and right or wrong, all the responsibility of that decision would be on me and my head. You would be clear."

   The cashier made a UMMMMMM sound, and the two women took a deep breath when I said that. I braced myself for the storm that would possibly be coming my way.

   I said, "I do consider myself to be a real man, a manly man, a hardcore man if there has ever been one, but I also realize that my wife helps make me what I am, and as far as anyone on this planet, she is most important to me, and I respect and value her opinion on all matters. She has much to offer and often brings balance to the table. Do you know what Im trying to say?"

   The woman closest to me placed her hand on my arm and said, "You're going to have to stop, I'm falling in love with you." They all giggled and laughed.

   The cashier spoke up and said, "See, that what I'm talking about. That's a real man."
   One of the women behind me said, "Would you rather go on a picnic with your wife and family, or watch a ball game?

   I said, "Picnic...Actually, I've never watched a ball game, or any other sporting event, in my entire life."

   She said, "You've never watched any kind of game...EVER???"

   I said, "No ma'am, never, but I will have to watch one soon because I agreed to go to one game with someone if they would ride the Drop Zone ride at Carowinds with me. The guy was terrfied of riding that ride and I wanted him to face his fears, and he did, but the deal was he would ride if I would go to a game with him." A deal is a deal."

   She said, "It's a shame to end that record...no games ever...I love that about you, and I've just met you. Dont ruin that record over a stupid deal with a chicken."

   I looked around and there were several other woman standing around listening to this whole conversation, and none of them seemed really concerned that the line hadn't moved since I stepped up. They begand to talk to me about men today. It was a moment when the women could let it out, right there in the lawn and garden check out line at Wal-Mart. A strange place for such a meeting, but stranger things have happened to me in the past...trust me on that one.

   I stood there for about 5 more minutes and then respectfuly thanked everyone for the nice conversation, and the very nice personal comments. As I turned to walk away, a few of the woman followed me and we talked about 10 minutes more just outide the store in the parking lot. These ladies had a lot on their minds and they were thrilled to have a man who would listen to them.

   It was actually a great moment, and one I enjoyed...a lot. First, it confirmed what I have been saying, there really aren't that many real men left today. Women want real men, but what they most often see today are self centered pretty boys, or self absorbed sports jocks, or a combination of the two. They are as disgusted by most men today as I am. (Most women also equally disgust me today, but that is a subject for another time.)

   More and more women are getting sick of all that womens lib feminist crap that has been shoved at them for so many years by women who want to be men, or who are as ugly as men, and figure they may as well act like men. The women I spoke with, when they opened up and let their true feeling out, admitted that they are starving for the love and attention of a real man...not an over grown, shallow as a bottlecap, sports nut couch potato, little boy. They want a real man who looks like a man, not someone who spends longer on his hair than she does her own.

   They DON'T want a man who is so "secure in his manhood" he feels comfortable wearing a pink shirt or earrings. They want a real man who is so comfortable and sure about his manhood that he wouldn't be caught dead wearing earrings or a pink shirt, or the trendy pastel shorts the girlie men are so fond of wearing now.

   This was a great experience for me. It was an experience that I was able to have because a cashier, so disgusted with the current state of men, just had to speak up and say something to me. If you think about it...if she had to speak up and say something to anyone, man, did she ever choose the right person, me.

   I speak up and speak out on a daily basis, and because I do, look at all the amazing experiences and encounters I have had over the years. This, being my latest.

   I feel for the women I met and spoke with today. I understand where they're coming from. I have heard similar comments from many women, from all walks of life, many times before.

   Hey men, if you're reading this and you have a pink shirt in your closet, or a pair of those pastel colored shorts, do yourself a favor, trash them. Learn something from this encounter. You may think you look good, but the truth is, you just look "pretty" or feminine, or pretty feminine. Now accessorise that soft feminine colored outfit with adorable stud earrings and a lovely bracelet or necklace and you become a major pretty boy. Now don't forget you hair...every hair must be in place...gelled to perfection...unless you're going for the more gansta type of pretty boy look, then ripped jeans and a ball cap turned around backwards will make that outfit sizzle, especially if your necklace and earrings are carefully coordinated.

   Okay, enough of that sarcastic stuff, but you get the idea, right?

   It's just time someone stood up and said what everyone seems to be afraid to say, "Men, ACT LIKE REAL MEN, for a change. You have testicles, act and dress like someone who has them. It's time to put back the barriers that separate men from women. It's time for men to stop trying to cross over into the woman's world. I wish men would spend less time trying to get in touch with their feminine sides, and started getting in touch with what it means to be a real man.

   There's a lot more to being a real man than watching sports, guzzling down beer, belching, farting and scratching yourself. That's not being a real man. That's just being like other guys trying to be like other guys they know, and doing what the other guys do.

   The problem is that there aren't very many real men left as true role models in today's world, and we're seeing the results of that right now. The women I talked with at Wal-Mart expressed what many other women are feeling around the country, but they remain silent. This is how society changes, and lines become blurred. The line between men and women has become blurred today. Many men today dress in a way that only gay men would have dared dress only 10 years ago.

   At one point in our parking lot conversation I asked the ladies, "What percentage of men would you say should NOT be classified as real men...97%...80%...60%...less...what percentage?"

   It was unanimous..."97%" was the response.

   I followed up with, "So, you truly believe that only 3% of men today look like, act like, and are REAL men?"

   A loud "YES" was the answer.

   This experience was fun, but it also revealed a lot about the women I was speaking with. Were they a few women of like mind, but who are representative of a very small minority of women and how women feel about men today? OR, were these women representing a much larger segment of the female population in America? From my many discussions with women and groups of women over the past few years I feel that they represent a much larger segment of the population than most people may first imagine.

 
   Now, you may agree or disagree with my opinions, or the opinions of the women I spoke with. If you are a man, you may like to dress in feminine colors and primp in front of a mirror until you look like a pretty boy. If you are a woman, you may like for your man to wear colors that only gay dudes would once dare wear. Maybe you like a more feminine man because they are easier to push around, or maybe you like having a man/almost gay-like friend kind of man and relationship. Wow, I just know that line will set a few off. lol

   The point is this...many women agree with me when I say there aren't many real men left in today's world. They truly believe that, and I do too. While some people may not see that a aproblem, it is, in reality, a HUGE problem. That problem and its magnitude will be fully realized soon enough.
   But for now, there is a need among a large segment of the people of North America, and I can help them with that need. This is not a job for pretty boy. No, this a job for a real man.

   There are quite a few lessons in this story. Some are more obvious, while others are nearly
invisible, and will only be seen by the most astute students of human nature.
   This encounter took only about 20 minutes, but revealed tons of important information. If I had their names and addresses I would send each of those ladies a thank you card and flowers as my way of saying thank you.

   Now that you have read the story of my Wal-Mart encounter, send me your comments. I look forward to reading them.

   Charles
