When Are You Due? The Male Verson of.....

What is possibly the most offensive question you can ask a woman? "When are you due?", when they are not pregnant. A close second and much related is, "Have you put on some weight?" Ask these questions at your own peril men.

There is what I have found to be somewhat of a male equivalency, "Is that gray in your beard/hair?"

I thought I was dressed pretty sharply today, new hair style and such. I got a lot of great comments about how I looked today.

But...................

Then from some guys I got the, "Is that gray in your beard? Man, you must be old," kind of thing. Doesn't matter how many other great compliments I received, it was the ones that pointedly made me 'old' that just made me bristle inside.

Female readers, never mention a man's gray hair.

I think this was part of my past week's attitude smack down. My shooting coach told me the best thing to come of me getting beat so badly was that in his opinion I was "getting a little to big for my britches" and that I needed to be taken down a peg.

Which was true. I am a big fish in a small pond here in southern California. But I am not a big fish in the national sized pond and I needed to be put in check.

But of course I won my division this Saturday hahaha. And beat someone I've never beaten before in the overall results. And did it all with feeling I was shooting in my limits and easily. Never felt pressed or anything. The joke was that since I had my GoPro at the local match as the reason I did better. As my fellow competitors all think I'm a narcicist. Hahahaha. So you'll be seeing that video soon. It's not too exciting though as the camera is focused on me the whole time, for me to review my movement and technique and such.
