A Man's Place is Where?

This is the eternal question. The purpose of this blog is to explore the roles and expected places that men are meant to be. Often it is assumed that a man's place is:
  • The head of the household
  • Working in the shed
  • The bread winner
and other as yet undefined roles and places. I want to explore this concept and also why men are not often assumed to be in the kitchen for example.

Men want to know what their place is. Men need to know not only who they are as a man but also where they belong. Are they sports fanatics, do they belong in a bar or do they want to cook the most amazing meal for their family. This blog aims to explore those ideas.

My personal drive for this comes from my own questions about who I am as a Man. I love to cook even though I dont have the cleaning skills to do a good job of it without being a mess. But I want to learn more. I'm a thinker, and a gamer, but I want to be more active and work on losing weight. Alot of my own self doubts resolve around the roles men are supposed to have. I think that using this blog and asking the questions I have had over the last few years, I might be able to explore the answers I craved and hopefully answer for others as well.
