• I am a man.

  • I no longer have to conform to a standard of false equality.

  • I am not afraid of my masculinity, nor will I tolerate those who try to shame me into falling in line with the feminine imperative.

  • I can't afford to waste any more time chasing some fabled relationship ideal, time I should be spending to become a man of stature and renown.

  • I refuse to be afraid of losing a woman I don't even like.

  • It's time for me to focus every fiber of my being on the pursuit of a fulfilling, remarkable life.

What are some of yours?
