Why did I name my blog The Pursuit of Manliness? Am I the authority on manliness? Not at all. Do I do manly things? Sometimes, yes. “Such as…” you may be thinking.
Well first of all I strive every day to be a good husband to my wonderful wife. I am the bread winner, the provider. Not by mandate, but by mutual agreement. I try to make sure my wife knows she means the world to me and how thankful I am to have her in my life.
Secondly, I try every single day to be a good father to our baby boy. I believe part of being a man (if married) is being a good husband and father. The world has fewer men these days because so many men in the past were not there to help raise their sons.
Third, I try to do my job to the best of my ability because a man who can’t keep a job isn’t much of a man in my opinion. I also work a second job so my wife can stay home to raise our son and we will not have to struggle to make ends meet.
Lastly, I have many interests and hobbies that I consider to be of a manly nature. That is really what this blog will be about…the things I do in my daily life that I think are manly. So if you want to see what kind of stuff I’m up to in my pursuit of manliness, please keep reading.
You are a good man in my book. The best husband and father a man can be. We are lucky to have you.
So, hey, did you want some more of that grapefruit face wash you like? : )

I’m looking forward to more manly posts! Great idea for a blog. We do one on home improvement. As I’m sure you know, not a lot of men can fix things around the house anymore. We try to educate where we can. Feel free to add us to your blogroll, we will do the same.
