A man card is the achievement that all men strive for. A man card shows that you belong to a special brotherhood. To get a man card a guy has to prove his worth.
He gets up early to shovel snow, he plays tea party with his little girl, sits up all night with a teething baby and goes to work in the morning. He isn't afraid of dirty diapers, vomit, or tampons. Guarenteed he will be cleaning a gun when he meets his lil girls new boyfriend and will still be cleaning the same gun when they get home. You should not be surprised to hear something like "Do you believe in God son? If you hurt that girl, I'll make sure you meet him." come out of his mouth.
He teaches his sons what it takes to be a man. He teaches them to fix everything. He teaches them patience, reason, logic, responsibility. He passes on how to stay calm under pressure, panic is for sissy's. When to fight and when to use your head.
A man card holder will give his word and keep it. A handshake is his bond. He knows right and wrong and sticks to his beliefs. His wife (or girlfriend) is his Queen and WILL be treated as such. He will defend her at all cost, even from her own family. He loves unconditionally and expects the same. He will go shopping with her on Sunday during Football season. He respects his parents and remembers where he came from. His vehicle is most likely old and tired but the one his kids ride in isn't.
He will take one hell of an *** whooping from a woman and never hit her back. The only girl he has ever hit was his sister and most likely she hit him first. He has his friends' back, even if that friend is wrong. He will get up at 3 a.m. to retrieve his buddy who's car broke down and is stranded over an hour away because his buddy's wife and kids have the "good" car. He has no problem buying his clothes at a second hand store so that the kids can wear Hollister. He has a working knowledge of just about everything and can just about repair anything. He will figure it out. If he can't, that buddy he rescued probably can.
Man Card holders commit the sin of pride everyday...pride in their family, work, accomplishments. They do it all day, everyday. They don't brag or *****. Their happiness comes from the life they have carved out for themselves, usually with their own two hands and the sweat off their brow. They will have at least one toy and they cherish it.
