Modigliani35: It seems to me that age, ethnicity, culture, even education makes no difference for those that are macho men. Are they born this way? Do they learn to behave like this? Or, is it just a facade/game? Can we live with them? Are we better off without them? Is it futile to re-educate them to be more "normal"? Opinions, anecdotes, and ideas are all welcome.
Why, why, why...?
That reads like you might be mixing with the wrong sort of men...
The bars that I went to in the Portland area and also (some) here on the coast tend to be frequented by “biker crowds”. It seems to me that the men are extremely “macho”. But their biker brides love it— glom onto it. I guess everything is relative— if you don’t like the type, don’t hang with it. Duh. Macho guys are nowhere near stopping their behavior or changing their personalities. Not going to happen, so all the complaining about it and man-shaming is frou- frou.
