How many times have you heard a woman saying she likes a man who “gets his hands dirty”? I’ve heard over and over again for most of my life that most women don’t prefer a guy with soft hands. I find myself trying to understand at what point building became not only a sign of manliness, but the end all be all of it. If the construction worker became the ultimate alpha male while men in all other fields got cast aside; I have an issue with this, and I would like to know why.
At what point in our society did women decide that Warriors were no longer necessary, and a man who can change her oil and fix the sink was the way to go? Sure, all men have their own important set of skills that they bring to the table, but how is it possible that one became so prevalent over the other? Evolutionary speaking; both types of men (if they were ever distinct from one another) served very important purposes, but I dare to say that the role of the warrior has always been more important.
For maybe a couple hundred thousand years humans fought to reach the place we’re at today. As hunters and gatherers in large tribes, a very big part of our day was once staying alive. Survival of the fittest proved a daunting task as lions, tigers, and any other beast imaginable threatened our existence on a daily basis. In these days it was the fighters who saved the day and kept our species a float. There’s no way to even guess how many lives have been saved by brave, fighting men since the beginning of time.
Over the millenniums, we saw massive advancements in the way we lived as a species. Weapons, fire, shelter, and transportation have all boomed thanks to the thinking and building man. If it had not been for this inventiveness, I would not be typing on an iPhone right now and we might all still be living in caves. Over the course of 200,000 years we have seen advancements come into play that have completely changed us into a creature that prehistoric man would have never even recognized. However, if it weren’t for the man who fought to keep us alive, we might not be here at all.
Here in 2015, we live in a much more tranquil world. In most people’s everyday lives, the ability to build and create has taken great precedence over the ability to destroy. The need for a fighter has become sort of out of sight out of mind aside from what we see on tv and in the news. Many of us have grown comfortable and complacent in our modern homes, and altogether forgotten the philosophy that “the gentle Goddess of Peace can only walk by the side of the God of War”. Not many of us are the slightest bit worried or prepared to have our doors kicked in by violent intruders at no notice whatsoever. But then again, some of us are. And at the moment this happens, I think any woman in her right mind would be deeply appreciative of her man who spent his entire life learning how to fight and protect her; no matter how broken her sink is.
