I am not your father.
I am not your elder brother.
I am not your uncle.
I'm not your father-confessor.
I'm not a saint or a wise guru on a mountaintop.
I'm not your best girlfriend, here to tell you that "you can do better than that deadbeat, girl!" over a quart of Haagen-Daaz.
I'm not your little gay friend, here to lend a sympathetic shoulder and tell you that you're still pretty when you think your new jeans make you look fat.
I am NOT asexual.
I am a man! Kindly treat me as such!
I am a man, red blooded, still young, with hormones that actually work. I have the same base urges as that walking a*****e you're futilely trying to turn into Prince Charming. I am not "harmless". If I seem nice, it's because I care about you, either as a friend or romantically. That DOESN'T mean that I've ceased being male! And, yes, I might even like to have sex with you! I know, it's a shock! All this time you thought I kept my p***s and balls in a box by the bedside, but I don't!
I'm tired of being an emotional tampon, cleaning up your messes and making you feel clean, pretty, and fresh so you can go screw the next a*****e. I'm tired of doling out honest, compassionate compliments and receiving nothing in return. I'm tired of giving out good advice and having you ignore it because it's not what you want to hear.
So, the next time you start telling me about the guy you dated last night, or how your mom's an a*****e to you, or how pretty your new shoes are and I respond with a curt "I don't care," don't be shocked! I always say what I mean unless I'm being sarcastic. You would have known that about me if you'd ever bothered to ask me about myself. A man can only give so much without receiving anything in return before he snaps. I'm a patient guy but I've been listening to your varied complaints with a sympathetic ear for FOURTEEN YEARS.
Huh. Maybe I AM a saint...
Am I a nice man? Yes. Am I a caring, compassionate man? Yes. Will I still listen to a person in need because I care about them? Yes. If I care about you, will I move the world to help you just because it's in my power? Yes. Will I let you treat me like a nice, soft pillow that comforts you in your time of need but is easily discarded and forgotten the next time your a*****e boyfriend comes slutting around? ******** NO!!!
I'm tired of being neglected, ignored, passed over, teased, cockblocked, etc... I'm tired of feeling hurt, lonely, depressed, humiliated, jealous, etc... So I'm going to stop. Period. Done.
In short, treat me like a man with a man's pride, a man's desires, a man's strengths, a man's weaknesses, a man's passion...., or ******** off. I'm sick of being made to feel as though I'm some kind of background non-entity. My feelings should never be treated like a burden. I'm special, I'm talented, I'm strong, I'm intense, I'm intelligent, I'm unique, I'm honorable, I'm honest, I'm sexy. I might even be a little wise. Chances are I'm damned good in the sack, too, though YOU wouldn't know it.
I'm a man. Keep that in mind at all times.
