Thats right, love depends. I found out that utopia does exist but only if you can balance love by heart and true fascination.

Well, a lot actually.
I have not those tradtitional imaginations like everyone else might have.
Why do you ask? What defines a "real man" for you?

1) I consider anything less to be 'un'real. I do not think there are many left at all who can actually meet up to what was once natural.
2) Not exactly sure how to answer that because Im not exactly sure what you are asking. Are you meaning do we have a choice as to what gender we are? If so then i say no. We were born the gender that God intended for us to be, and we have no right to change it.

when specifically was (the set of character traits you deem to be "real men") once natural? what time period, location, context?
one of the reasons why i keep stating that gender is a social construct, is that, when we look back at history, the very notion of gender roles is entirely time/location/cultural context-dependent. 50 years ago, (or 100 or 500,) our Western understanding of what "men" and "women" are, was entirely different to what we think about them today. and even today, different cultures in different regions of the world have different ideas about what men and women are supposed to be. there is no one absolute "real man" or "real woman." these are comfortable fictions that help us orientate to, and navigate through, the social landscape around us.
so my question remains; when was it ever "once natural?"
regarding changing gender; what about when someone is born with a gender identity different to their outward appearance? what if, in spite of trying everything imaginable (short of extremely self-destructive denial,) that person's gender identity is unchangeable?

What I mean is it what we SHOULD be. What we were MEANT to be. There is no difference between the outward gender and the "inward" gender as you are saying. True, there are those born being multi-gendered, but that is a slight defect in their genetic coding. Those who think they are a mentally different a gender then they are physically are in essence, crazy. Its a mental condition, nothing more; a form of "multiple personalities". Such as myself, I am male; but I understand the female train of thought(as much as a male can)and emotions. It has been said that I have a woman's mind in addition to my male mind. It is because I TRY to understand and I notice what very few others do about how the mind and personalities are. Those who think they are a different gender, are not; they are merely searching for an answer as to why their thoughts are what they are. It is the distorted views of the world that give them a "quick fix escape" of claiming they can just change genders. Now all that is not saying I hate people that have changed, I am not agree at all with what they have done; but I do not hate them. Hate the mistakes, hate the sins, but do not hate the person...that is my philosophy.

thanks for your note, and my apologies to everyone who feels this topic has spilled into an inappropriate thread, but i'd prefer to keep this conversation public. i think i understand your perspective so far, but i'm having a hard time replying to your last message. it's one thing to offer your opinion, but it's a different conversation when, at least from my perspective, it sounds like you're running down people and their experiences, especially when you belittle them with descriptions like "they are ... crazy. It's a mental condition, nothing more..." or, "Those who think they are a different gender, are not" etc. statements like these certainly do not sound compassionate, and nor does it treat people who have had different life-experiences to your own, with the same kind of respect you would probably like to receive (i.e. you're probably used to receiving.)
besides, what makes you so sure that anything gender-related "should be" the case? as i outlined in my previous reply, there is no universal "ultimate" gender or what it should be, for you, for me, or for anyone else.
coming back to gender identity, and the conclusions you seem to have drawn so far; have you ever talked with, and really listened to any transgender / transsexual / gender-variant people? have you heard their stories? what if the conclusion you've arrived at isn't an accurate portrayal of one of the most (if not the most) disenfranchised, actively discriminated-against minorities in the Western world? what if it's not as black and white as (love the sinner, hate the sin) ? what do you think about compassionate Christians who listen to, support, and care about trans/variant people?
do you understand that for people who need to transition, it's not a "quick fix escape" at all? the process takes several years, and often involves; a) rejection from family, friends, social supports, b) job loss, pay cuts, second-class employment status, c) harassment and abuse, d) blatant stigmatization, e) arbitrary and arcane gatekeeping from medical services, f) psychiatric over-examinations, g) difficult metabolic problems with hormones, h) painful and exorbitantly expensive surgeries, i) rejection from insurance claims, and so on.
but coming back to you for a moment; are you at all connected with local queer people? do you have any openly GLBT/queer friends? do you even consider yourself to be feminist?

I say those things from experience, and study into the mind, personality, and emotions. I'm getting the impression that you are inferring from what I said that I think a man or woman is better then the other.. and that is not what I mean. And we CAN say what a person(of either gender) should or shouldn't be in responsibilities and how they act...and the source is the Bible. Yes, I have talked to people like that...and I draw my conclusions from seeing and hearing. I think other Christians who support them in what they do are wrong; but there is nothing wrong with supporting and caring about them as people. They are people just as you and I...and they have made mistakes just as any human will. From that, yes it does seem like I was referring to it wrong. What I meant was they use it as an escape instead of facing and conquering it. Yes, all those problems do occur, but is it openly said? No. It is like the effects of alcohol and smoking, its generally known, but not shown to where its actually understood. I have known those who were homo-sexual, and a fair number of my friends and acquaintances are bi-sexual. What are you meaning exactly, consider myself a feminist? If you mean will I probably support a female then I will another male, probably. If you mean do I think women are more intelligent then men, of course. If you mean do I think women have it harder in life then men, and are "stronger" emotionally and in the amount of things they can handle, yes.

this conversation is over. as soon as you abdicate responsibility for your reasoning or compassion by essentially saying "x is to y because the bible says so," you've completely removed yourself from the conversation. please save your time and don't reply.

Now I have removed myself? I am not closed minded because I stand by my faith. It is unintelligent and generally pathetic to think of someone as ignorant and foolish because they base their thinking on experience and their beliefs. It is thinking such as you just used that cause the strife and problems among people, not our beliefs. I accept people as people, that does not mean I have to accept what they do. Only someone truly foolish would say that to accept someone you have to agree with everything they say and do. I find it highly insulting that you would write me off just for my faith. A truly intelligent person will listen to opinions and thoughts despite differences in religion, outlook, or anything else.

True, those are basis of good character traits and does not necessarily have to be applied to just men. But it IS the man's job to "pick up the yolk" so to speak when the time comes...that is why it is normally applied to men. Women have already proved their worth by having to put up with us and the pains and worries of being a woman....so we tend to not mention "real woman" because its almost a given. Very few "men" exist anymore, whats left are excuses for being childish and doing what they want instead of taking responsibility. A woman naturally(though true not always as can be seen in too many cases just as with the men), does this and hence is considered "real" without having to prove anything. We as men DO have something to prove.. because our status has fallen because of the state of the world.

the point i was trying to make originally is that, as far as my opinion and perspective goes, concepts of "men" and "women" are social constructions. people are people, first and foremost. gender is a separate issue to the character traits you've described and elaborated on. when you say "very few men exist anymore," i think you might be talking about, "very few people who match the criteria for my definitions of these characters exist anymore." i have a few questions for you which might help me understand your perspective a bit better:
1.) if you define these traits as "real," then what do you consider to be unreal? how do you know if/when you've crossed either threshold?
2.) do you consider gender to be performed, or intrinsic? innate or changeable?

A "real man" is one who knows how to treat a woman correctly, and sees people and cares for them for the fact they are a life...not for who they are or where they come from or might become. "Real men" hate alcohol, smoking, and drug use. He works hard and does not slack off. He stands for what is right and moral and does not back down...even when he is faced with great opposition. He will hate what is wrong, but care for the people who are chained to the wrong...hating the sin, but caring for the person.

Well, you're right with what you are saying, cause everyone (should) have their own definition about what is important for them.
It was more like, from my point of view, that I've tried to say that not every man loves only with their dick, to say it clearly.
And I know that such phrases never will be appropriate to the actual situation.
Such phrases are stupid and way to narrow to describe the reality of each person on it's own.
