... about men today

I have spoken to people about how guys in today's society are not the same as men back 50 years ago. Other than the obvious times have change of course things are different but I mean it in the aspect of perseverance and ambition. To me i grew up with the whole point of view that the man takes care of his women but with a twist. at least in my case the twist was that yea the man will take care of you but you should also have your things together were you can take care of yourself. Being a Hispanic women we are raised to be good wives take care of our man by tending to his needs and your children’s need. If any of you are Hispanic or are familiar with the values they are raised those are basically it. However, in my case I was raised with those values but also thought that you should be able to provide for yourself and not be dependent on a man. Not to say that its a bad thing to have a man provide for you but I guess I have a mother that is more open to change and seeing that some things cant always be the same and people must change. So basically i grew up with yea take care of your man but also be an equal.

What I am trying to get to is that in today’s society it seems like guys are just becoming more and more lazy. They are just not like the guys from 50 plus years ago that had 2 jobs a girl friend or wife. I have noticed more and more that women seem to be in higher positions. Just to look back in 2008 we had Hilary Clinton actually running to be the first women president. Who would have though right? Or even Sarah Palin.... I feel just by events in my life and people that I have encountered, guys to be specific, they have settled. They do not have the drive that guys did back in the day. I just want to know what happened. I know of guys that are ok living at home at 24+ years old they pay rent but that’s it. They are ok living at home working a part time job and just not wanting more. It’s like really? I am a very ambitious person that wants to go places why cant guys want the same. I am not talking about all guys just some. But still where is that drive to be someone. To go places. To be something more than, just another person in this world? I was just thinking....
