What is the stereotypical male life goal? I wanna use this against the guys in my life.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

get married, have kids, buy/build a house, get a nice retirement plan and a gold watch, have a nice midlife crisis, eat a really nice steak that's too big for me and finish the whole thing (and this is the important part) while a bunch of people watch and maybe I win a t-shirt, lose a pie-eating contest at some kind of local food festival, that kind of thing

one of my personal ones is to eat one of everything to maintain my dominant position on the food chain, but that's just a lil bit of fun

Work 40+ hours and own a house, car, and wife.

Achieving gender equality.

Move out of the basement.

I don't know. Maybe fell a tree, buy a nice car and then die by drowning in pussy?

Mines always been to provide for my family. I dont think that really helps what youre going for. I never thought getting married and having kids was a woman's goal, its a lot of peoples goal. Maybe guys lean more toward "have a son" instead of "having kids"?

Can you fix this thing that I could totally fix if you weren't here, but I'm asking you anyway because I love you?
