Boy-Male-Gentlemen-Man

This is a poem about guys.... I think it truly depicts how they truly are =]

A boy depends on the people around him,

So he doesn't have to work.

He uses others to achieve his desires

Manipulation is his personal perk .

Boys need care and nurture 

Or else they will subside.

They only function with help around 

and what they choose to provide.

A male is a creature of true disgust

Only craving satisfaction. 

Feelings can be hurt, so long as not his

There will be no reaction. 

He dwells in the dark, solitude in revulsion,

Pushing everyone away.

The only ones that are wounded 

Are the vapid ones that stay.

A gentleman respects

And has intentions that are honorable.

He is extremely patient, loving

And of up most tolerable.

Women, to him, are put first,

He works hard everyday.

Only problem is,

Most gentlemen are gay.

But a man is partially of all three

He is evenly proportioned out.

He does his job he pays his bills 

He lives without any doubt. 

Responsible and respectful

Habitually uses his brain.

Unfortunately this man 

Is almost impossible to obtain. 

 

Author's Note

A lot of reviewers are saying that I have either confused all guys for ass holes or that I have taken one bad experience and made it for all men. This isn't true, I know there are good men out there, and if you read the whole thing, the last two parts even say that.

The experiences are from many guys. But it only took one to inspire the poem. I did not write it to put any of the readers that are guys down, I am by no means speaking about you =] Thank you for your reviews though! Much appreciated <3

This is the sort of thing that nearly everyone always seems to disagree with - because they supposedly know better and are supposedly more "reasonable" - but the reason for that is that they nearly always take it personally. It works both ways, of course - men would have a parallel argument about the perfect woman, but that would be the opposite of what most women think a woman should be, and vice versa with their idea about what the perfect man should be. In the end, of course, it usually turns out that they fall in love with someone who doesn't fit that criteria anyway. Ironic. Perhaps the perfect man or woman would just end up being a bore.

This is a really amusing poem, and (although I'm a man) I largely agree with it. The assumption that if a man is a gentleman then he is nearly always gay is hilarious - but from a woman's point of view it's true. If a man is a gentleman then a woman doesn't really see him as "manly" in my experience. In the end, opposites attract.
Good fun, intelligently composed and thought out.

As a man these words ring very true, but I will not say which category I might be placed in, if you read some of my work you might wish to judge but what I have on here are only pieces of an over active mind

[RachelReaper]

I think that guys would find this hard to disagree with, heh. Nice work here.

There are a great many truths spoken of here......it would be hard to argue otherwise.

After reading both the poem and your authors note...well, I suspect not everyone read the whole poem. And bollocks to those who didn't, because they missed both the point of it, and a real treat. You have given a perfect balance here to men in genral, venteing your spleen at some, and congratualing other.
Fact is, you're a damn good writer. If peole don't read the full thing....To Hell with 'em. They're missing a class act

I enjoyed the flow of this and the wording, it had an older quality to it which gives it a bit more style than one would think in the subject matter.

About men or not, I really like this and I think you pegged it perfectly in the last two stanzas. I will be the first to say that most "males" are a******s and most of the time they are only thinking about themselves. A real man takes care of his responsibilities and treats the woman in his life like they are the only people who matter to him. Preach it sister...!
