As an addition to No. 10 - Respect her. Based on this I have to assume that you are teaching him how to treat a lady the right way by thoughts words, deeds and respect. The violence towards women in our society is something that blows my mind every time I read of a horrific incident, rape, etc. A lot of how we treat others is learned behaviour. I watch to much Criminal Minds......

Totally recognize that this is a big group of jokers and all... But at the end of the day, I know that under all that there's a good group of folks here who get it. A lot of us have been on one or both sides of that father / son thing... obviously recognizing the few XX we have here. Got anything to add from a XX perspective @LostLassie

I'll have to read thru the thread first when I get time. Given the title, I hadn't looked at it yet since it didn't seem relevant, seeing as how I have no experience with turning into a man.

Never had any issue with my boys respecting women.. complete gentlemen...
but I can't say strongly enough... teach him how to deal with very aggressive girls
it's a new world... he has to learn to say NO or how to deal

and hopefully you and spouse are on same page
we struggled... vastly different approaches... could not come to agreements

It's an interesting point you bring up. I think that on many issues we're on the same page. Without a doubt the respecting women thing we are. She, however, would likely frown upon the "Don't ever put it in Crazy" wording. That's where there are some pretty significant differences. In reality, Crazy is cra-cra... stay the eff away.

True enough... but you're a pretty balanced individual from what I can tell. I respect your thoughts enough to ask. That's a compliment. :wink:

That's very kind of you. Personally, I think I'm mad as a hatter with a second job in a thermometer factory. But then, I have the excuse of having lived an entire lifetime on this cosmic lunatic asylum of a planet, so...

Give me some time. I will see what I can come up with. :)

I didn't fully read this tread, so sorry if I am duplicating anyone else's answers.

Always trust your gut feelings, they are almost always right.
Take a half a second and think before you do or say anything, how could this turn out, what are the possible outcomes.

My son is young, but as he gets older, I'll impart such nuggets to him as.....

Never fuck with a 60 year old guy in Chicago who's wearing a Tommy Bahama shirt and walking from his Cadillac SUV into a mediocre Italian restaurant.
Always carry a burner phone (old motorola flip phone with a telefonica sim card purchased in a small Spanish village).
Gas, Grass or Ass: Nobody rides for free.
The proper way to hold a chef's knife while slicing a Prime Rib and how that differs from how to hold it when slicing a man's liver.
A 40 pound bag of lime in the trunk of the car helps with handling in the Winter.......and other things.
When in doubt, wrap it up.
The toughest guy is only as tough as he can protect his nuts.
If she's that good, she's not good.
How to slide out the back end of a car in a turn.
There once was a time in this country that we could laugh at midgets.
Always have a fall guy.

Be nice until it's time not to be nice.
