Ever had a friend or a casual acquaint say to you: my man this or my man that. You want to say what man, I dont see a man, and there is not a man in the bunch. They yap on and on about this man and everyone can see that this is not the kind of man they would be caught dead with. The man has no qualities and especially none to brag about or on. But, they can not stop the chatting. You want to say this man needs to get a job so that he can at least pay one bill if not all the bills, and the man has been seen all over town with different women. Is there a need to brag on a man who can not pay a bill? And is there a need to brag on a man that can not do a thing around the house with the exception of: sleeping, eating, and watching TV? Cant he at least take out the garbage once in a while.

I also have a friend who's husband didn't do much, never worked, was on the computer all day playing games. While she was working full time to pay the bills. She finally got sick of it and told him off after almost three years of it. He did finally start working full time and now he is the one bringing home the bacon, while she is laid off from work. She deserves a vacation I must say, it is about time he is supporting her. But, anyway I do understand where you are coming from, and why you feel the way you do.

Are we talking about a man or a woman? I only ask, because apparently some people have the two mixed up. This man for instance is (and has his own equipment to prove the fact and is not weird) thinks he is actually a woman asked this girl one time "are you the man or the woman?" Well, obviously I am the woman, because I have/had cycles every month and actually gave birth to six kids. Now tell me he aint messed up because he thinks he is a girl. Only because his last name make sense to call him sushi (sue-she). I think I would post a pic, and everyone would agree with me that he is a man, irregardless of what his last name is.

Maybe the friend is trying to be positive about her man. Or maybe the things you see that makes up a man is different from what your friend sees. For example, for you a man would be working to financially support his family, while for your friend, a man is someone who makes her feel special. It depends. You can brag about anything about anyone. Financial capacity isn't the only thing worth bragging about

Well, every person is unique. It really depends on how one sees the other. Just like the phrase that beauty is in the beholder eye? Sorry, not good at quoting phrases. So, some women see the good things in their men, not the bad things. They may love their en very much. I am a cynic, though. I see the good and the bad (mostly the bad
) and I try to understand them.

I think that they tend to brag on and on about their men ( or women) because they know they have someone crappy and are trying to cover for them and make others think they are with a great person. When they should leave them and go out and find a real great person
