Aging, it happens to all of us, if we’re lucky! There are some men who just don’t want to grow up and embrace their seasoned years. When men reach a certain age, they should take stock of their lives and not resist adulthood. Being grown-up means being settled, comfortable, stable, responsible, mature and secure. An adolescent version of grown masculinity is not acceptable! (We’ll address you ladies in the next issue!) Let’s face the facts, life is finite, so men, open your eyes, clear your head, and self-exempt from the foolishness you should have put the brakes on eons ago. Here is a list of a few things that should not be in your grown-up repertoire:
Sleeping on a Futon or frameless bed on the floor
Maxed out credit cards
Displayed high school trophies
Shirtless lawn mowing especially if your belly jiggles and you have man boobs
Speedos
Dating your daughter’s friends (Cat Daddy Syndrome)
Living with a roommate (significant other and children are exceptions)
Continuously announcing what you’re going to do career-wise, yet never making a move
Leather pants
Going to clubs
Cornrows
Behaving like a pimp and thinking your Crayola-colored suits are impressing women
Video Gaming
Living off fast foods
Adding another baby mama to your stable
Making excuses
Driving a car with fancy rims (wheels)
Blasting music from your vehicle
Using a toothpick as an accessory
Gold teeth grills
Hanging on the corner with Pookie and dem
Continuously borrowing money and never paying it back
Sporting two earrings
Sagging! (It should be punishable by law!)
Playing games with women’s emotions
Constantly saying you’re getting yourself together and never doing so
