10 Stupid Things Men Do To Mess Up Their Lives

- by Dr. Laura Schlessinger

1. Stupid Chivalry

Getting involved with a weak (flaky, damaged, needy, desperate, stupid, immature, untrustworthy, etc) woman trying to transform her and be her saviour as a means of feeling strong in yourself.

2. Stupid Independance

Unwilling to admit your need for intimacy and bonding, you run and hide in excesses of work, play, drink, drugs, porn and meaningless sex.

3. Stupid Ambition

Unable to comfortably and proudly accept your inherant worth to society in the identity of father and husband you seek identity by bowwing down to the false idols of money, toys, power, and status.

4. Stupid Strength

Unable to make peace with your own weakness, vulnerablity, powerless, or rejectedness you use intimidation, force, or passive-agressiveness to regain control.

5. Stupid Sex

You make sexual conquest a measurent of your masculinity and power.

6. Stupid Matrimony

Lacking a true value and meaning for marriage you find yourself gone down the aisle for the wrong reasons with the wrong woman and now feel helpless to do anything about it.

7. Stupid Husbanding

You live as though you were single and "mommy-wife" will take care of everything.

8. Stupid Parenting

Thinking that only women and mothers can bond with your children you withdraw and miss out on being your kids' Daddy.

9. Stupid Boyishness

Having not resolved your relationship with your mom you form relationships with other women trying to avenge, resolve, or protect yourself from your ties to your mother.

10. Stupid Machismo

Only in understanding the true and meaningful difference between being male and being a man, can you really become a man.
