Ask Dick: How Many Roads Must a Man Walk Down?
I am asked the following question a lot, so I might as well answer it once and for all. This version comes to me from Justin.
Dick,
Try as I may, I cannot filter through bullshit to figure out what it means to be a man. As a young scholar with an addictive personality, I humbly seek your guidance in my quest for mandom. Can you give me an outline of what a man is and what his responsibilities to the world are?
Good question, Justin. Firstly, you have to figure out what it really is that you’re looking for. You’re not looking for an outline of mandom. You’re looking for a road map to manhood. That’s much manlier.
The Road Map to Manhood
There’s as much bullshit out there about what it is to be a man as there is bullshit out there about what it is to be smart. Are you book smart or are you street smart? If you have to ask, you’re neither, so shut the fuck up.
Being a man is doing the right thing no matter what the cost.
Wrong.
If there’s one thing I know about history, it’s that it should be called penistory because of the overwhelming influence men have had over women in shaping it. If I know two things, it’s that what’s right today could be wrong tomorrow. There is no “right thing”. Someone is always going to get shit on, and if you’re realizing that, that someone will probably be you.
Smoking was once an infusion of class and wealth. But today, smoking will get you thrown up on in some parts of California — even though it’s still a huge sign of class and coolness. Smacking women for their non-stop fuckups also used to be standard fare. Now, however, it is frowned upon.
Being a man is fighting for what you believe in.
I don’t think I could invent a concept more womanly than that. Fighting for what she “believes” is how women start 100% of domestic abuse.
Belief is a silly thing for school children and drunks. Men have powers of self-determination that women can’t even comprehend. Men are actually so powerful, that a man believing in something makes it true. If you fight for that, you’re not fighting for what you believe in, you’re fighting for the truth.
That might make you a third Superman, but it doesn’t make you a man.
Being a man means accepting responsibility.
“Accepting” responsibility is like “admitting” you’re a drunk. You were always a fucking drunk. Admitting it or not is irrelevant.
Responsibility is owing your bookie fifty grand that you don’t have. It’s something you can’t avoid. If you don’t want to “accept” that, then you’re going to have to “accept” that your legs will be run over by a 1988 white Cadillac Brahm with rouge trim.
Some bookies also drive cars that pimps would drive. Not all of them, but some do.
Being a man
Being a means one simple thing: thinking in reality.
Women think purely in terms of fantasy. No matter how cut and dry and fucking obvious something is, women will sit and think their pretty little heads off until nothing makes sense anymore, and the only available option is to let life wash over them like a tidal wave of fuckups.
Women are magicians of Wrong. No matter how clearly you lay the path for them, they will pull a disaster rabbit out of their hat faster than you an say “Abragofuckyourself”.
The real answer to your question, Justin, is: who the fuck cares what it means to be a man. You are one. Roll your sleeves up and get to work.
That’s Man Zen.

The trainee whore is 17. She has no idea about the real world. Better take Wolfe’s advice and just ignore. Nothing of value here.
“You aren’t showing very many man points with that statement, I hope you know. How pathetic is it that you are awearing at a 17 year old?
You are all hyprocrits on this site…” blah blah blah.
- Go back home to mommy, little girl (I’m just ASSUMING little. With an attitude like your’s, I’d say it’s a fair bet you already crashed through the 80kg barrier from chugging down moms home cooked apple pies).
I was wondering what your “beef” was. Now I know. :)
eye no whut joo meen
Haha
‘I spel gud in skool’
Nothing like making a typo when lecturing someone one on proper writing.
And yes the rest of my clas is also pathetic at writing. But they’re still cool guys (And a gal who’s positively sweet).
If you’re nice to me, then whether your black, gay, lesbian, a feminist (Never happens) or anything else, welcome to my fold.
HULK SMASH TEXT WALL!!!
My brothers call me Necro. To you I’m Necroswordsman. RESPECT BITCH!
I’ve had tea with Death, you know. Nice guy. Well, thing, since it’s obvious Death is asexual.
You know kristina, you have proven
Do you know what an ad hominem is exactly or did you get that from dictionary.com?
And what’s sweraing? o.O
You a feminist nazi or something?
Also, one thing. ‘wow that sure is a manly name, not’
…what are you, 8??
Done?
Good.. now go away.
You know what’s really funny? How dumb you really truly are. That is what is really Amazing. “think their pretty little heads off until nothing makes sense anymore”.
Why is it then, that, even though men are supposed to be “better” than women in things such as computers, and school related matters, that not only do I have better spelling and grammar then more than half the bozos on this site, I am quicker on the computer skills in my computer class then all but one man (who i admire more than any of you imbeciles) in that class and the rest are complete rubbish at even putting a complete sentence together without screwing it up, and I’m also a lot smarter in any of my other classes then most of any of the men? Where I live, I have seen, time and time again, where it’s the female who is getting the grades in a class, yes even math class(one of my strong traits as well), while the men spend their time giving humanity a bad name, not to mention their own sex.
You have proven, Necro(wow that sure is a manly name, not) that when something doesn’t make sense to you (which if anything makes sense to you then that’s amazing in itself) you resort to name calling, sweraing, and basic ad hominems, other than just arguing your case reasnably. You aren’t showing very many man points with that statement, I hope you know.
How pathetic is it that you are awearing at a 17 year old?
You are all hyprocrits on this site, by the way. I’m sure you’ll all see this some day, but at that moment you are all too busy having imbecilic “manly man” knowledge stuck up your asses.
You are, in no other words possible to describe, embarrassing yourselves, my dear good man. And any sensible female, reads what you have to read and laughs. Which is what I am starting to do the more and more you spout of nonesense yourself.
Rock on Dick. Rock on. You speak the truth my friend.
Better than the entire thing disgusting me. Like your comments!
Here’s a tip: Stop embarassing yourself and fuck off.
I know…his spelling and grammer….it disgusts even me
Maroon 5: Goodnight Goodnight
Amazing.
-Dick
you sound like a woman mate
AND I JUST HAVE TO ASK JUST WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO BE GETTING ASKED ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS… THAT SOUND JUST LIKE BULL SHIT
you know what go fuck your self… you sexest pigs…. what the hell do you have against women any how all of this bullshit is just a matter of opinion. none of it is fucking fact… so grow yp and so suck a cock… you gay ass bastards (by the way i know for a fact a straigt man would not say this shit about andy woman..) so GO FUCK YOURSELF…)
…Ewwwwww
How convenient. Your sex makes you inherently superior to me, even if you are just a washed-up 13-year-old slut with an in-crowd boyfriend.
Who is better, the man who builds the tower, or the slut who gets half the paycheck from the man who builds the tower? And you cunts act surprised when your hubbies are less than amused at the idea that sitting on his couch bitching about PMS and childbirth does not entitle you to half his possessions? Go burn in hell.
Stop sucking on his dick, you stupid bitch. It’s actually a clit, but then I suppose your lesbian ass likes that.

Well considering you cannot even correctly discern how he types his username, I don’t think he’ll be worrying too much about your ability to track him down.
“Wolfe” is going to die very soon. I assure you all.

It’s “Then like magic,” genius. Not “Than like magic.”
Oh by the way dick breath- what’s up with the bullshit emails? Fuck off. You deleted my post as I’m sure you’ll delete this one- so leave me the fuck alone and quit harassing me.
