Wing-Man Research Paper First Draft
There have always been men in the world who have had trouble with picking up women. These are the men who experience it several times, where they could not find the words to say what they want to a women. This is why men need to rely on each other for assistant to finding a women that best suit the individual. Men need to stick together as a group to assist their fellow men by being their wing-man in order to boost the individual self-esteem. Men need each other as the wing-man and for moral support in hopes to receive the attention and potential hook-up of available single women. The articles like "Wing-men in the Wings", "The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and the Performance of Masculinity as Collective Activity", and “The Dating Wing-Man.Helping the Lovelorn Is All In a Day’s Work", describe a situation where the wing-man are labeled as helpful, which they are. Men need of a wing-man is something men need when confident is lost or stress are up when they see a women they like. People don't know how helpful wing-men are at giving advice and other kinds of help.
Men need a wing-man to provide moral support by giving them helpful advice and a walk-through for a potential hookup. But, people wonder how wing-men are helpful and what they do that helps benefit the person. Wing-Men are required people who are used to make the other person look good when he approaches a woman. The wing-man must help the man find the right person for them by providing helpful confident builting advice. The wing-man needs to tell the person what to say and what to look for in a women. The article that shows effectiveness of a wing-man is a New York Times article by Andrew Adam Newman. According to Andrew Adam Newman article, Wing-men in the Wings, Newman said, "if you have an energetic personality, go out with someone more relaxed because he'll complement you more and determining who will be the wing-man and who the pilot in each encounter.""Before you approach, agree who's going to talk to the 8-on-a-scale-of-10 and who will keep the 6 entertained, and don't switch in the middle."(p.1) Newman talks about a situation where one of the men must decide who is going to be the wing-man and who will be the one targeting the main women. This is a key point to an effective wing-man, because it makes the other guy look good in front of the girls. Newman continues to mention that before the man approaches the women, he must decide on who is going to be the talking one and who is the fun entertaining one. This is essential important, because if the man can't decide on what to do, then this will embrass the wing-man in front of the ladies. Thus, making the wing-man weaker by messing up his flow and game he has with helping the individual. Overall, I 100% agree with Newman, because if the wing-man and the other men don't know what to do ,then your screwed. Meaning the wing-man has wasted their time and effort to help the other guy get with a women. The wing-man need to be able to give the advice to the individual, but first the guy must agree on who is doing what. Even though wing-man are needed for helpful advice, another requirement for the wing-man is to keep the women friend busy, while the other guy talks with the main women their targeting.
Men need to be able to rely on other men to be their wing-man for the chance to distract the women friend. Men need to support each other by allowing one men to be the wing-man so they could achieve the goal of finding that special someone for him. The wing-man must take full responsibility and look out for his friend no matter what. That mean the wing-man must take the women friend away from the main women at any cost, even if the friend is ugly or unattractive. The wing-man must do his duty to help his fellow men in achieving success. The wing-man success is described in an article by David Grazian about men hunting for a women, even with her friend with her. According to David Grazian article, The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and the performance of Masculinity as Collective Activity, Grazian said, "As we were beginning to mobilize ourselves and move towards the dance floor, James noticed Rachel, a girl he knew from Penn who he often told me about as a potential girlfriend." "Considering James was seemingly into this girl, Dan and I decided to be good wing-men and entertain Rachel's friend, Sarah."(p.330) Grazian indicates how the use of wing-men is effective and show how two friend look out for each other. Grazian example of Dan and James show how two friend respect and show loyalty toward one another. The wing-man distraction of the women friend show good teamwork and support among both men. I agree with Grazian, because teamwork and loyalty helps make the wing-men look good, while at the same time help the other guy out. Men do need wing-man moral support for distracting the female friend, but another main purpose of a wing-men is to lurk single men and women together in a public place.
Men must be able to rely on each other to be their wing-man for the chance to be taken a location with a lot of available single women. The wing-man main job is to get their single man with a single women in one location. The wing-man must first go to a place where there are a lot single women to be pick up by single men. The wing-man must leave his guy friend, so he could be in the same location with the women he is after. This must happen after the wing-man have done his job lurking away the women-friend from the area. Location is essentially important, because it is the wing-man job to help their struggling guy friend find that special someone in a public place. One man that show an example of this is Aaron Ellner who enjoy helping people find their special someone. According to Aliza Appelbaum article, The Dating Wing-man Appelbaum, said, "Through his company, The Dating Wingman, he offers phone and in-person Consultations to dole out relationship advice to the lovelorn, and he holds singles events at bars in New York City about once a month.""The most recent, on June 24, was geared toward people ages 21 to 31 hoping to meet that special someone."(p.1) Appelbaum is saying that Aaron Ellner is a professional matchmaker who can hook any person with the someone they're after. Appelbaum also mention the service Aaron provides to struggling singles looking for the special someone. these are essential important, because single men could use a coach and a location to hook up with women. Appelbaum also talks about how he set the location of all singles into one place, so that the singles could hookup up and meet their special someone there. I find location important for a wing-man, because men could rely on other men for advice and support, if they knew how to approach women in a well managed way. The location is needed for the single man and woman to feel that special spark in their life for the first time. This is true, if the women is interested and feel the same way about the single man.
All men should use a wing-man and moral support to help them boost confidence and strength toward finding women. Men have searched for potential girlfriends or wives for many years, but many have failed. Men should request the help of a wing-man to find the type of women their after and want to be able for all eternity. The wing-man give very strong advice that I believe is subjective, clear, and very helpful in finding the type of women men desire. Wing-Men are essentially important, Because men who are having a trouble time with talking or being around women will have an easier time with the present of a wing-man. Wing-Men provide services of giving men a place, where they could pick up single women is a life dream men should want to have. Wing-Men provide the service of allowing single men the benefit to separate a women friend from the main women in order to help men out. This is a good service, because not a lot of people would take the time to help other men out. Men should love the idea of having a go to guy to help them and make them look good. Men dream of having their chance of true love can be dream to them, but it can be a reality if they could go and find or hire a wing-man for themselves. If they do this, then they'll get a first hand experience on how hiring a wing-man was a good idea in the first place.

Masculinity and Health Research Paper Final Draft

Masculinity and Health Research Paper First Draft
Men and Women are raised by their parents to believe and feel a certain way. For men, their manliness is put to question by the determination of who is more superior in the relationship between men and women. Men hope to be the more superior over women by focusing on their physical appearance and by showing off their strong and confident personality. This has led to men having shorter life span that causes high death rate to happen. Also, allowing men to focus on their sexual appeal to attract women. Men have lack their interest in their well being and have let themselves face dangerous potential health risks men face. Men have not made the right decision, thus causing many men to show no concern for they own health. In the 2009, Journal of Men’s Health, Men have become focus on their body and physical appearance, in order to please and seduce women and at the same thing be tough enough to fight off bullies. Thus, men have risk putting their health in place, because men are putting themselves in danger of potential injuries. Men focus 100% on body building and 0% on health, because men feels health is nothing too concerning for them. It is, because health isn't an important factor to men that women have lived longer than men. Men desire to show domination over women has caused many men to risk their own health. The more men focus on their body the more likely; they’re going to risk their health through the intent workout they have planned. The more time men focus on their body the more likely he will injure himself. Men having a lot of focus on their physical appearance and risking their life is one of the many negative aspects of being a man
Men relied on their confident personality and physical appearance to impress women and men that they have failed to realize the short life they are starting to develop. Many men have started to work their body in the gym in order to built physical appearance along with their personality, because they wanted to show off how strong and how good they look. While many men focus on their physical appearance they have lack the aspect of taking any advantage towards seeking professional medical health. Men and Women are given equal rights to seek medical help, but very few men have taken the chance to seek help. In Oystein Holter article, Men, Gender and Health 2009- The Norwegian View, talks about men with disabilities and how they are the only ones who want professional medical help. Men that are muscular built do not seek any support or need for professional medical help. Since, these well-built men have no intention of needing any medical help, since they feel it is not needed and it’s not a manly thing to worry about. According to Oystein Gullag Hotler article, “Men, Gender and Health 2009- The Norwegian View” Hotler said, “A good starting point would be to investigate the concept of being 'able-bodied', and how this masculine notion historically informed ideas of health and gender in the information of modern society, or, rather, misinformed them, according to current research e.g. handicap.” “It is primarily men who are able bodied, soldier material.” “On basic level, being able-bodied means not going to the doctor.” “If able-bodiedness is part of hegemonic masculinity, the chances are that men will be less proactive in terms of health.”(p. 102). What Hotler is saying is that disabled men look for medical help, while men that are muscular built are questioned by other men about their toughness. Men who are muscular built men see worrying about health something unimportant and unmoral or not even worth worrying about, because to them it doesn't benefit them with social life. Men believe that their confident personality and physical appearance for superiority over women is important, But, another cause for negativity towards men health is their sexual appeal attraction that could endanger men health and life.
Many men have pursuit in their journey to obtain a good physical image and a great personality to obtain advantage of being a man. But, the cause of this goal is deathly, because men bring on sexual appeal only to transfer sexual transmitted infections or STI in both the man and the women through sex. Men have focus on working their body and their personality in order to flirt with women in hopes to get them into bed for sex. When men have successfully perform their sexual desires to women, they lack the focus about what potential diseases lurk in their body now. Men often don't use protection, so there don't know what diseases they have. Men who do have transmitted diseases don't even bother getting tested or in fact care about health that much that they would pass the disease on to someone else. Many men who are unaware of the disease would continue to have sex with women without realizing the fact that they are passing a dangerous disease on to them. According to Shari, L. Dworkin in her book, Body Panic: Gender, Health, and the Selling of Fitness she said, “In that work, we analyzed how newspapers conflated sexual act, risk, and identity, which worked to disseminate erroneous health information about HIV/AIDS risks and constructed different moral orders depending on the specific interaction between social identities and masculinities (e.g. marginalized/subordinated and dominant) that each athlete offered (according to their race, class, sexuality, gender).”(p. 67-68) Dworkin is saying that athletic men dream about, what type man they want to be depending on their race, class, and so forth. Dworkin continues to mention about how athletic men have show different treatment of women depending on race and class in order to get them in bed. Dworkin does mention that some of these athletic men do care about safe sex to prevent from getting HIV or Aids. Safe sex is much more important, than men focusing on body building to attract women for sex. Men desire for a strong physical appearance and on confident personality to show superiority over women, allowed men to work hard to bring sexual appeal towards women. Another affect towards men health is the lack of focus younger men have when they are raised by their parents.
Men started focus about physical appearance and personality in order to star domination at a very young age. At a young age during their teen years they are taught to be tough and do manly things like be on a sport team. Their parent teaches them to be strong and to take big risk in life, thus allowing many young men to focus on family goals and not their own health. Men taking risks is a sign of family goals, because men must take dangerous risk in order to show honor and respect for their family. Also, it means to show how tough and how much heart you have in the family. In the Ian Ban article, “Elam: Lost City Rediscovered” Ban said, “Attention must be paid to the development of interventions that are sensitive to the aspirations, attitudes, and behaviors of young boys and adolescents. The focus on young men must continue into adulthood, with interventions targeting other community settings, such as leisure facilities, sports grounds and working environments.”(p.12). Ian is saying that young men should be a main concern and focus by the parents and by the people. He feels young men are special and would continue to be look upon as unique and dominant gender if something is done. Ian feels if men continue as the superior being over women, then they would lack the concern for their health and eventually die faster. He is worried about all the young men who are suffering at such a young age. If men could to be the superiority being over women by physical appearance and personality, then health problem will continue, thus leading into men facing potential or permanent health problem overtime.
Men desire to be superior over women and hopes for a better personality will allow them to suffer from many dangerous health problems. Men approaching adulthood will feel various changes and health risk that they fail to realize, when they become an adult. During adulthood or approaching adulthood men enlist in the army to serve their country. Men who become part of this great fight become known as a hero and more importantly a man to be worship and loved. But, during the battlefield fighting a battle isn't a walk in the park. It is dangerous and deathly, since many of the male population end up dying and fail to live their full life. In battle many young or older men end up facing dangerous obstacles and would also face very dangerous or dangerous health problems. Some problems including being sick by throwing up or having itches that won't go away. Other health problem for men can also be costly to prove yourself as a real man and a soldier. These health problem could be forever lasting sickness or it could even lead to men losing a body part, which could most likely be an arm or leg. Some of these men who take heavy amount of injures would be rush to the hospital to get checked out. In Susie Kershaw book, Impotent warriors Gulf War syndrome, vulnerability and masculinity Kershew said, He wanted it to be read and wanted others to make sense of it; indeed, he suggested that he would be willing to undergo an invasive internal exam in order to discover the secrets his body holds.”(p.72). What Susie is saying is that this soldier only worried about his health when it came to him being injured. The quote also says, the soldier wanted the doctors to do test in order to found out what he is made of and if he could stand the battle. Even, after a long battle men still show a positive and confident personality, while at the same time show physical appearance of toughness for superiority over women. But, another issue men face is making bad decisions about their own health, which causes them to die.
Decision making is one of the most important thing in everyday life. Men make good and bad decision in hopes to improve themselves, while at the same decides if that is the best way to go. Men lack of decision is the cause of men lack of awareness, on the health problems they could have affect them, as time moves on. Men who make these bad decision end up with bad habits such as using or dealing drugs, which get them high enough to be violence or even commit suicide. Men who do drugs are mostly adults or teenagers looking for a way to relief stress. But, men who end up doing drugs don't realize the health problems they would suffer if their continue to harass and overuse drugs. Other bad decision including overdrink of alcohol which leads to men physical abusing women and doing things they can;t event remember themselves. People who continue to drink is a sign of bad health as it has the chance to cause cancer. Bruce Campbell in the article, “The success of Men's Educational Group Appointments” Bruce wrote, “Men do not visit physicians as often as women, and tend to under-report their symptoms. Men are more likely to abuse alcohol, use tobacco produces, and often make unhealthy lifestyle decisions, espcially while male bonding.”(p.166). Campbell is saying men do not see doctors very often to know what is wrong with them. He continues to say how men are more stubborn and bad at making the right decision, since many men would end up using drugs substance and alcohol to solve life problems. Men decision to make these chooses are 100% true, because a lot of men who have social life problem use drugs, alcohol, or violence to vent out all they anger, without realizing what physical harm it could do to them. Decision making is a key point to men focus on their personality and their appearance to look strong and cool, but the true cause of superiority by men is their muscular built body or physical appearance to show how much of a real man they are.
The man body is what makes many men seen themselves as the superior force, while they also develop their personality to obtain and sweet talk women, by showing off their well built muscular hardwork body. Every man wants to have a six pack or muscular body to show off toward women. While, many men focus on work out they lack the time to focus any attention on health. Eating too much for men might not be a problem, but lurking women in with their heavy built appearance might be the problem. Men's who focus on they body lack the time to care about their body if they become part of a sport team or if their trying to be built to handle a bully problem. What makes being built a health problem is the challenge of being on a sport team. Like if men are part of a basketball team or football team they will be risking themselves for injury, because other men's would constantly ram and run each other to obtain the ball to score. This violence will allow the body to feel physical cramps or soaring pains in certain areas. Other men's also want the muscular built body out of jealousy, because they see other men get women and be respect by their fellow man. In Natalie Darko article, “Get up and shut up and stop being a fanny””Rugby Union Men and Their Suppression Of Body Anxiety” Darko talked about a student named Pat who said, “My body, my lifting is nothing exceptional on this team, this is part of the reason I train so much; two, three times a day. I want the other boys to look at my body and make compliments. When you don't measure up they will let your know.”(p.335). Darko is explaining how skinner men work out for the power to show off, but doesn't explain how being fit is not for everyone. Pat symbolize a man who follows in someone else footstep in order to achieve his goal, but with the cost of risking his own health in the progress. Men who want to be muscular built are sometimes not capable of handling the training and suffer body harm or event end up damaging a certain body part. Men take the risk of doing something new, but also leads to physical damaging someone health in the progress. Men's determination for physical appearance and personality power over women with muscular builting is the main point to why many men suffer health problems. It is, because they is a health problem where the men body can't withstand the training and therefore, risk the chance of not fully recovering from such an injury.
Men have focus their desire for gender domination though the power of showing off the strong and hardwork of their physical fit appearance and their outgoing personality, while at the same time risk their health and also risk their body to look in a way they really aren't meant to look, because they have been persuade to look that way for someone else to notice and compliment them. Men have been the center of many health problems for many years. In the 2009, Journal of Men’s Health, men have set their goals to body builting in the gym in order for showing off privileges. But, have ultimately put themselves in harm of passing on potential diseases. Men have been the one working hard to have a good physical appearance and good personality to get with women, without seeing the first important thing men should focus on. The health of men should be all men main purpose, before they work up to having a built body and before having a good personality. Health is the most important, because it symbolize the great job that all people did to take care of themselves. Many men believe that worrying about health wasn't a manly thing to worry about, but that's a lie, because without the good will of health once can't exist or function properly to do anything, espically work out to have that six pack that every man wants.

Masculinity and Health Research Paper First Draft
Men and Women are raised by their parents to believe and feel a certain way. For men, their manliness is put to question by the determination of who is more superior in the relationship between men and women. Men hope to be the more superior over women by focusing on their physical appearance and by showing off their strong and confident personality. This has led to men having shorter life span that causes high death rate to happen. Also, allowing men to focus on their sexual appeal to attract women. Men have lack their interest in their well being and have let themselves face dangerous potential health risks men face. Men have not made the right decision, thus causing many men to show no concern for they own health. In the 2009, Journal of Men’s Health, Men have become focus on their body and physical appearance, in order to please and seduce women and at the same thing be tough enough to fight off bullies. Thus, men have risk putting their health in place, because men are putting themselves in danger of potential injuries. Men focus 100% on body building and 0% on health, because men feels health is nothing too concerning for them. It is, because health isn't an important factor to men that women have lived longer than men. Men desire to show domination over women has caused many men to risk their own health. The more men focus on their body the more likely; they’re going to risk their health through the intent workout they have planned. The more time men focus on their body the more likely he will injure himself. Men having a lot of focus on their physical appearance and risking their life is one of the many negative aspects of being a man
Men relied on their confident personality and physical appearance to impress women and men that they have failed to realize the short life they are starting to develop. Many men have started to work their body in the gym in order to built physical appearance along with their personality, because they wanted to show off how strong and how good they look. While many men focus on their physical appearance they have lack the aspect of taking any advantage towards seeking professional medical health. Men and Women are given equal rights to seek medical help, but very few men have taken the chance to seek help. In Oystein Holter article, Men, Gender and Health 2009- The Norwegian View, talks about men with disabilities and how they are the only ones who want professional medical help. Men that are muscular built do not seek any support or need for professional medical help. Since, these well-built men have no intention of needing any medical help, since they feel it is not needed and it’s not a manly thing to worry about. According to Oystein Gullag Hotler article, “Men, Gender and Health 2009- The Norwegian View” Hotler said, “A good starting point would be to investigate the concept of being 'able-bodied', and how this masculine notion historically informed ideas of health and gender in the information of modern society, or, rather, misinformed them, according to current research e.g. handicap.” “It is primarily men who are able bodied, soldier material.” “On basic level, being able-bodied means not going to the doctor.” “If able-bodiedness is part of hegemonic masculinity, the chances are that men will be less proactive in terms of health.”(p. 102). What Hotler is saying is that disabled men look for medical help, while men that are muscular built are questioned by other men about their toughness. Men who are muscular built men see worrying about health something unimportant and unmoral or not even worth worrying about, because to them it doesn't benefit them with social life. Men believe that their confident personality and physical appearance for superiority over women is important, But, another cause for negativity towards men health is their sexual appeal attraction that could endanger men health and life.
Many men have pursuit in their journey to obtain a good physical image and a great personality to obtain advantage of being a man. But, the cause of this goal is deathly, because men bring on sexual appeal only to transfer sexual transmitted infections or STI in both the man and the women through sex. Men have focus on working their body and their personality in order to flirt with women in hopes to get them into bed for sex. When men have successfully perform their sexual desires to women, they lack the focus about what potential diseases lurk in their body now. Men often don't use protection, so there don't know what diseases they have. Men who do have transmitted diseases don't even bother getting tested or in fact care about health that much that they would pass the disease on to someone else. Many men who are unaware of the disease would continue to have sex with women without realizing the fact that they are passing a dangerous disease on to them. According to Shari, L. Dworkin in her book, Body Panic: Gender, Health, and the Selling of Fitness she said, “In that work, we analyzed how newspapers conflated sexual act, risk, and identity, which worked to disseminate erroneous health information about HIV/AIDS risks and constructed different moral orders depending on the specific interaction between social identities and masculinities (e.g. marginalized/subordinated and dominant) that each athlete offered (according to their race, class, sexuality, gender).”(p. 67-68) Dworkin is saying that athletic men dream about, what type man they want to be depending on their race, class, and so forth.

But, the cause of this goal is deathly, because men bring on sexual appeal only to transfer sexual transmitted infections or STI in both the man and the women through sex. Men have focus on working their body and their personality in order to flirt with women in hopes to get them into bed for sex. When men have sucessfully perform their sexual desires to women, they lack the focus about what potential diseases lurk in their body now. Men often don't use protection, so there don't know what diseases they have. Men who do have transmitted diseases don't even bother getting tested or in fact care about health that much that they would pass the disease on to someone else. Many men who are unaware of the disease would continue to have sex with women without realizing the fact that they are passing a dangerous disease on to them. According to Shari, L. Dworkin in her book, Body Panic: Gender, Health, and the Selling of Fitness she said, “In that work, we analyzed how newspapers conflated sexual act, risk, and identity, which worked to disseminate erroneous health information about HIV/AIDS risks and constructed different moral orders depending on the specific interaction between social identities and masculinities (e.g. marginalized/subordinated and dominant) that each athlete offered (according to their race, class, sexuality, gender).”(p. 67-68) Dworkin is saying that athletic men dream about, what type man they want to be depending on their race, class, and so forth. Dworkin continues to mention about how athletic men have show different treatment of women depending on race and class in order to get them in bed. Dworkin does mention that some of these athletic men do care about safe sex to prevent from getting Hiv or Aids. Safe sex is much more important, than men focusing on body building to attract women for sex. Men desire for a strong physical appearance and on confident personality to show superiority over women, allowed men to work hard to bring sexual appeal towards women. Another affect towards men health is the lack of focus younger men have when they are raised by their parents.
Men started focus about physical appearance and personality in order to star domination at a very young age. At a young age during their teen years they are taught to be tough and do manly things like be on a sport team. Their parent teaches them to be strong and to take big risk in life, thus allowing many young men to focus on family goals and not their own health. Men taking risks is a sign of family goals, because men must take dangerous risk in order to show honor and respect for their family. Also, it means to show how tough and how much heart you have in the family. In the Ian Ban article, “Elam: Lost City Rediscovered” Ban said, “Attention must be paid to the development of interventions that are sensitive to the aspirations, attitudes, and behaviors of young boys and adolescents. The focus on young men must continue into adulthood, with interventions targeting other community settings, such as leisure facilities, sports grounds and working environments.”(p.12). Ian is saying that young men should be a main concern and focus by the parents and by the people. He feels young men are special and would continue to be look upon as unique and dominant gender if something is done. Ian feels if men continue as the superior being over women, then they would lack the concern for their health and eventually die faster. He is worried about all the young men who are suffering at such a young age. If men could to be the superiority being over women by physical appearance and personality, then health problem will continue, thus leading into men facing potential or permanent health problem overtime.
Men approaching adulthood will feel various changes and health risk that they fail to realize, when they become an adult. During adulthood or approaching adulthood men enlist in the army to serve their country. Men who become part of this great fight become known as a hero and more importantly a man to be worship and loved. But, during the battlefield fighting a battle isnt a walk in the park. It is dangerous and deathly, since many of the male population end up dying and fail to live their full life. In battle many young or older men end up facing dangerous obstacles and would also face very dangerous or dangerous health problems. Some problems including being sick by throwing up or having itches that won't go away. Other health problem for men can also be costly to prove yourself as a real man and a soldier. These health problem could be forever lasting sickness or it could even lead to men losing a body part, which could most likely be an arm or leg. Some of these men who take heavy amount of injures would be rush to the hositpal to get checked out. In Susie Kershaw book, Impotent warriors Gulf War syndrome, vulnerability and masculinity Susie said, He wanted it to be read and wanted others to make sense of it; indeed, he suggested that he would be willing to undergo an invasive internal exam in order to discover the secrets his body holds.”(p.72). What Susie is saying is that this soldier only worried about his health when it came to him being injured. The quote also says, the soldier wanted the doctors to do test in order to found out what he is made of and if he could stand the battle. Even, after a long battle men still show a postive and confident personality and show physical appearance of toughness for domination, but even hero's makes bad decisions about their own health, which causes them to die.
Decision making is one of the most important thing in everyday life. For many men decision making is important since men manage to do both good and bad choices. Men lack of decision is the cause of their lack of awarness on what health problems they could have affect them, as time moves on. Men who make these bad decision end up with bad habits such as using or dealing drugs, which get them high enough to be violence or even commit suicude. Men who do drugs are mostly adults or teengers looking for a way to relief stress. But, men who end up doing drugs don't realize the health problems they would suffer if their continue to harass and overuse drugs. Other bad decision including overdrink of alcohol which leads to men physical abusing women and doing things they can;t event remember themselves. People who continue to drink is a sign of bad health as it has the chance to cause cancer. Bruce Campbell in the article, “The success of Men's Educational Group Appointments” Bruce wrote, “Men do not visit physicians as often as women, and tend to under-report their symptoms. Men are more likely to abuse alcohol, use tobacco produces, and often make unhealthy lifestyle decisions, espcially while male bonding.”(p.166). Bruce is saying men do not see doctors very often to know what is wrong with them. He continues to say how men are more stubborn and bad at making the right decision, since many men would end up using drugs substance and alcohol to solve life problems. Men decision to make these chooses are 100% true, because a lot of men who have social life problem use drugs, alcohol, or violence to vent out all they anger, without realizing what physical harm it could do to them. Decision making is a key point to men focus on they personality and they appearance to look strong and cool, but the true cause of domination by men is their muscular built body or physical appearance to show how much of a real man they are.
The men body is what makes many men seen themselves as the domination force, while they also develop their personality to obtain and sweet talk women, by showing off they well built muscular hardwork body. Every man wants to have a six pack or muscular body to show off toward women. While, many men focus on work out they lack the time to focus any attention on health. Eating too much for men might not be a problem, but lurking women in with their heavy built appearance might be the problem. Men's who focus on they body lack the time to care about their body if they become part of a sport team or if their trying to be built to handle a bully problem. What makes being built a health problem is the challegne of being on a sport team. Like if men are part of a basketball team or football team they will be risking themselves for injury, because other men's would constantly ram and run each other to obtain the ball to score. This violence will allow the body to feel physical cramps or soaring pains in certain areas. Other men's also want the muscular built body out of jealousy, because they see other men get women and be respect by their fellow man. In Natalie Darko article, “Get up and shut up and stop being a fanny””Rugby Union Men and Their Supression Of Body Anxiety” Natalie talked about a student named Pat who said, “My body, my lifting is nothing exceptional on this team, this is part of the reason I train so much; two, three times a day. I want the other boys to look at my body and make compliments. When you don't mesure up they will ;et your know.”(p.335). Natalie is giving a student point of view about how muscular built body is important to non-muscular built men. This is demostrates how men follow the path other men want to be noticed by their peers. Pat symbolize a man who follows in someone elses footstep in order to achieve his goal, but with the cost of risking his own health in the progess. Men who want to be musuclar built are sometimes not capable of handling the training and suffer body harm or event end up damaging a certain body part. Men take the risk of doing something new, but also leads to physical damaging someone health in the progess. Men's determination for physical appearance and personality domination with muscular builting is the main point to why many men suffer health problems, because this is a health problem that can be seen by other problem and can risk the chance of not fully recovering from it.
Men have focus their desire for gender domination though the power of showing off the strong and hardwork of their physical fit appearance and their outgoing personality, while at the same time risk their health and also risk their body to look in a way they really arent meant to look, because they have been persuade to look that way for someone else to notice and compliment them. Men have been the center of many health problems for many years. Men have been the one working hard to have a good physical appearance and good personality to get with women, without seeing the first important thing men should focus on. The health of men should be all men main purpose, before they work up to having a built body and before having a good personality. Health is the most important, because it symbolize the great job that all people did to take care of themselves. Many men believe that worrying about health wasn't a manly thing to worry about, but that's a lie, because without the good will of health once can't exist or function properly to do anything, espically work out to have that six pack that every man wants.

Masculinity and Health Research Paper First Draft
Men and Women are raised by their parents to believe and feel a certain way. For men, their manliness is put to question by the determination of who is more superior in the relationship between men and women. Men hope to be the more superior over women by focusing on their physical appearance and by showing off their strong and confident personality. This has led to men having shorter life span that causes high death rate to happen. Also, allowing men to focus on their sexual appeal to attract women. Men have lack their interest in their well being and have let themselves face dangerous potential health risks men face. Men have not made the right decision, thus causing many men to show no concern for they own health. In the 2009, Journal of Men’s Health Magazine, Men have become focus on their body and physical appearance, in order to please and seduce women and at the same thing be tough enough to fight off bullies. Thus, men have risk putting their health in place, because men are putting themselves in danger of potential injuries. Men focus 100% on body building and 0% on health, because men feels health is nothing too concerning for them. It is, because health isn't an important factor to men that women have lived longer than men. Men desire to show domination over women has caused many men to risk their own health. The more men focus on their body the more likely; they’re going to risk their health through the intent workout they have planned. The more time men focus on their body the more likely he will injure himself. Men having a lot of focus on their physical appearance and risking their life is one of the many negative aspects of being a man
Men relied on their confident personality and physical appearance to impress women and men that they have failed to realize the short life they are starting to develop. Many men have started to work their body in the gym in order to built physical appearance along with their personality, because they wanted to show off how strong and how good they look. While many men focus on their physical appearance they have lack the aspect of taking any advantage towards seeking professional medical health. Men and Women are given equal rights to seek medical help, but very few men have taken the chance to seek help. In Oystein Holter article, Men, Gender and Health 2009- The Norwegian View, talks about men with disabilities and how they are the only ones who want professional medical help. Men that are muscular built do not seek any support or need for professional medical help. Since, these well-built men have no intention of needing any medical help, since they feel it is not needed and it’s not a manly thing to worry about. According to Oystein Gullag Hotler article, “Men, Gender and Health 2009- The Norwegian View” Hotler said, “A good starting point would be to investigate the concept of being 'able-bodied', and how this masculine notion historically informed ideas of health and gender in the information of modern society, or, rather, misinformed them, according to current research e.g. handicap.” “It is primarily men who are able bodied, soldier material.” “On basic level, being able-bodied means not going to the doctor.” “If able-bodiedness is part of hegemonic masculinity, the chances are that men will be less proactive in terms of health.”(p. 102). What Hotler is saying is that disabled men look for medical help, while men that are muscular built are questioned by other men about their toughness. Men who are muscular built men see worrying about health something unimportant and unmoral or not even worth worrying about, because to them it doesn't benefit them with social life. Men believe that their confident personality and physical appearance for superiority over women is important, But, another cause for negativity towards men health is their sexual appeal attraction that could endanger men health and life.

Wedding Crashers Reflection
The two main character in this movie is Vince Vaughn playing as Jeremy Ryan and Owen Wilson playing as John Ryan. They are brothers in the movie who seek to obtain as many women as they can. Both men portray the stereotype that men are all tough and strong. This comes into play when both Jeremy and John attend different people wedding in order to find the most attractive and prettiest women at the wedding. They would flirt with them and ask them if they would like to dance. After, obtaining their attention they would tell them false information about what they do and who they are. This was their intention to get women into bed as both Jeremy and John seek out women as a prey for sexual activity in bed. What other things Jeremy and John would do is talk with the women family members and give them false information, so they could get the chance to built trust. So that they could be introduce to the women by their family member. Another method, both character's used was by showing false talent like physic abilities or balloon making in order to get women attention. If things didn't go too well as planned, Jeremy and John would work harder to stay on the women and their family good side in hopes to prevent them from getting into trouble or even caught about their real intention. There true goal is to sleep with the women and leave before things get too serious.
In the movie, Jeremy Ryan and Johnny Ryan are brothers that have a strong male to male connections. Where at some points their are some male to female connection as well. Both Jeremy and John have a strong bond that they do things together, where there pick up as many women's at weddings as they can. Both men look out for each other, while at the same time give each other great helpful advice on how to score with a women and what has to be done to get women into bed. In the movie, both men would argue at certain point, because they couldn't get out of a situation where two women wouldn't let them go. Both Jeremy and John have rules to follow by when it comes to getting with a girl. Rules that include flirting, telling them things that make them look tough, and never chicken out when you hit on a women. Men and female connection also, comes in the movie when John falls for this woman at a wedding and starts sharing and give false information about what he does. In hopes that the women would love him back as much as he loves her.
In the movie,"Wedding Crasher" and the article "The Girl Hunt," are both very interesting in what men do to obtain women. Both the reading and the movie share the common goal of finding the hot women with a hot body. Both the movie and the reading start their search in a crowded place whether it be a bar or a wedding. In the movie and in the reading, men search for women that has a positive and great personality. After finding a women with that great personality the reading and the movie looks for a weakness in women's in hopes of taking advantage of her in bed for sexual activity.
The movie does provide a clear and strong message toward men. The message the director is sending is to let men know that its never a good idea to lie to a women in hopes of getting as much sex as possible. The director wants men to be honest with them and to be themselves, so that they could find that special someone who would accept and love them in a special way that no one else can give you. Regardless of how people sees it as an unmanly like thing to do, don't listen to them. Being a man doesn't mean getting as many women as you can get your hands on. Even though, you are seen as a player or pimp for getting a lot of women, it isn't the right thing to do. Obtaining as much women doesn't make men a man. Being honest with them and yourself and showing them respect and how special they are is what makes men a man. Being a man is when men take action and be the one capable of finding a special women that would love you for you and not because of something your not while it be a lie or something that hides who you really are. True love is special love between two person that benefits both individuals. Men desire to have sexual intercourse with many women doesn't give men benefits, it only leads into trouble.

Regardless of how people sees it as an unmanly like thing to do, don't listen to them. Being a man doesn't mean getting as many women as you can get your hands on. Even though, you are seen as a player or pimp for getting a lot of women, it isn't the right thing to do. Obtaining as much women doesn't make men a man. Being honest with them and yourself and showing them respect and how special they are is what makes men a man. Being a man is when men take action and be the one capable of finding a special women that would love you for you and not because of something your not while it be a lie or something that hides who you really are. True love is special love between two person that benefits both individuals. Men desire to have sexual intercourse with many women doesn't give men benefits, it only leads into trouble.
