A man is a grown-up, male human being. Illustrations of archetypal men can be viewed here, and here, and here.
The kind of things which typical men do are pictured here, and here, and here.
This is a man-friendly blog. We have addressed the core issues of what it is to be a man in the modern world, in several important places. Examples are linked below:
The good modern husband
Marriage night
Marriage in trouble
Demanding lover
Distant and severe
Olive restaurant in Bromley
Poodle parlour in Purley
Obituary of Hank Texasburger III
Cricket on the radio
Disclaimer in the corporate boxes
Underpants
Magic Roundabout pyjamas
Preconceived idea
You can pretend
Small but passionate
The police are very good
Interdimensional travels
Heretic unfrocked
Nothing passes
Ontological real deal
Cybore
Magnanimous gesture

Marriage night
http://alcuinbramerton.blogspot.com/2006/06/marriage-night.html
Alcuin Bramerton profile ..... Index of blog contents ..... Home
It will be
The perfect
English wedding.
Gorgeous spring weather,
Large cathedral,
Twelve bridesmaids,
Twelve pages,
Two bishops,
Flowers on every gargoyle,
Orchestra
And full choir.
Elegant reception
In a pink
And green
Marquee
In the cloister garden.
You will take care
Not to drink too much.
At last,
At the end of the day,
And feeling like
The Leaning Tower
Of Pisa,
You reach
The honeymoon hotel
Bedroom.
And then the glorious
Consummation.
Your young wife
Tells you
That she
Has a headache.
It is important
To be positive
And understanding
At this point.
Give her the benefit
Of the doubt,
And acknowledge
That there is at least
A twenty per cent
Chance,
That she is telling
The truth.

Stream of consciousness
This is a stream
Of consciousness.
Politics is an elaborate
Metaphor
For croquet:
Painted balls.
I've forgotten to see
Those movies.
I forget everything
These days.
I forgot to get up
Yesterday.
And now it's today.
I adopt the lexical orthodoxy
Of Western linear time concepts here.
Excuse me.
I need chocolate.
I need chocolate fast.
Whose consciousness
Is this a stream of?
And how can I be sure?
Oh, look!
There's a squirrel.
That's nice.
What's a squirrel doing
In the deep-freeze?
The kettle's boiling.
I can see it boiling over there.
It's a steam of consciousness.
Water vapour is a more important
Greenhouse gas
Than either carbon dioxide
Or methane.
There are geeks
Who don't know that.
There are geeks
Who have no consciousness
At all.
Some geeks
Are just aural in-your-face
Non-sentient data complexes.
I like geeks.
The richest man in the world
Was a geek once;
A computer-geek
Who wrote source code.
Now he's the biggest do-gooder
Who has ever done gooding
On the planet,
Except for Mother Teresa.
Ah, good. Yes.
There's the chocolate.
I need chocolate to power up
My stream of consciousness.
I'm glad I saw those movies.
This is balls.

Very refreshing
In a deserted house,
A shower can be a
Very
Refreshing experience,
If there is no-one in it
And you yourself
Are miles away.
It raises questions.
Why is the shower running?
Why is there no-one in it?
Who is listening
To the steady splash
Of the water?
What is the agenda here?

Never settle down
Not ready
To settle down?
No, not ready
To settle down.
Life never settles down.
Life is a continual process
Of becoming more;
Stasis is not even
Theoretically possible.
Never settle down.
Keep moving;
Keep moving forwards.
Keep growing;
Keep growing bigger.
Never settle down.
Only in the matrix
Do people settle down.
They settle down to stay small;
They settle down to die.
But there is
No such thing
As death.
Therein lies
The intrinsic lie
Peddled by
The insistent
Death-mongers
Of material illusion.
It is dangerous
To get comfy
Down here
In the matrix.
There is more
To life
Than a three-dimensional
Hologram
Of half-experienced being.
Never settle down.
Interdimensional travels
The libraries do not fool us
