    How "sloppy" a word is wimp, anyway? Merriam Webster defines it as "a weak, cowardly, or ineffectual person." That lacks a bit of precision as compared, for instance, to diabetic. To divert the issue to the proper use of a word that that is quite indefinite, along with its synonyms-- wuss, sissy, pushover, doormat, et al-- is an evasion.

    And rather defensive. Very odd.

    I know scientists and doctors who would call it "wimpy".

    So they are ignorant also of the meaning of the word.

    You are correct in our citing of the definition. Note there is no mention of testosterone level involved in the definition.

    Salty, I've never known or met a white lightning drinker that I would call a wimp ... and anyone who does probably should think about their health before doing so. Now some of these old boys might not have been, shall we say, doing a lot of women chasing, but being a wimp? Oh no. :laugh:

    You know a word either means what it means else there is no meaning in any word. Why we could use that argument in scripture and some do and prove anything they want by the misuse of words ... as well as other techniques of deception.

    Speaking of truth and deception, do you agree that todays men are wimps compared to the men of the '70's ? Do you think it has something to do with testosterone levels ?


    You haven't said a thing about the topic, you've just whined about the title.

    Talk about deception.

    Maybe the statistical data is flawed--kind of like global warming, aka climate change. Sometimes the makers of male hormone tablets are trying to increase their profit margins.

    The advent of the PC may have an affect on male behavior.

    Real men still love Jesus--their numbers seem to be dwindling.

    Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

    I do but I believe it is because of the loss of a real work ethic.

    Some men are wimps, most are not. I do not think it has to do with testosterone levels. It has to do with character, beliefs, bravery, ethics, standing up for what one believes is right, self-sacrifice, being willing to stand up and be counted.

    From what I have read testosterone levels are dropping. There are a variety of reasons for this.

    Also testosterone levels drop with age. Does this mean that all men become wimps with age. No it doesn't in my opinion.

    [​IMG]

    Testosterone levels drop after a man has children.


    Are all fathers wimps. Don't think so.

    So it is obvious that testosterone levels do not play a part in whether a man is a wimp or not.


    I have also read that over the years men's sperm count has become lower. There are known factors as to why this happens. Read:

    http://www.hellawella.com/13-ways-you-could-be-lowering-your-sperm-count/18001


    You haven't said a thing about the topic, you've just whined about the title.

    Talk about deception.[/QUOTE]

    Since when is correcting the misuse of language whining. I cannot help it that you did not understand what the word wimp means.

    Of I know you believe in what Socrates said

    Yawn.

    Crabby, if all of that is true, why are you such a sloppy poster ?

    I also think it's funny that you're so bent on this thread, when you've left so many of yours to die lonesome deaths.


    Come to think of it, you called Chris Kyle a "coward".

    I don't think you have quite the grip on words that you tell us you do.

    Still will not admit your mistake in the word. What about the information I gave you. Do you now see that testosterone has nothing to do with a person being a wimp or not? Tell me, in your understanding, what is the function of testosterone?

    Are all old men wimps?

    Are all fathers wimps?

    Again your remind me of what Socrates said:

    When the debate is over, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

    Slander ? What a joke.

    Crabtownboy, I've read your words. And I have read the words of the doctors and scientists who use the same words I have. Guess which ones write better ?

    You should now address the thread where you misread your own link concerning the supreme court, since your so focused on the mote in my eye.

    But you'll probably put up a stupid red herring drawing.

    I refer you to my first post, where the link shows how to keep levels up. If you're going to comment, you should read the link.
    Those that let their levels drop too much become wimpy. How many times you want me to say it ?

    Is this thread hitting a personal nerve with you ?

    So you are saying that all old men are wimps, right?

    And you are saying that all fathers are wimps, rigtht?

    Tell you what, if you want to see how much of a wimp I am and how much of a wimp you are come back here and walk Clay Street with me ... first in the day time and a second time at night.

    Go with me to SE DC and walk with me. I firmly believe you are too much of a wimp to do either.

    And you might try walking with me in Fulks Run, VA or maybe in a few of the hollows near Stanley, VA and we can see how tough you are. Would you like to meet some moon shiners on their own territory?

    No, you cannot carry a weapon. Weapons in such situations are wimps.

    Wrong. I've spelled it out, over and over. You should know my answer, by now. Your lack of cognitive skills is not my problem.

    Pffft. You'd have to give up your cyber-anonimity. Challenge disregarded as unserious.

    Red herring. You are too much of a coward to come out of hiding. So stop it.

    Do you think this is making you look tough ? What is this ? I've been to the Persian Gulf three times. And we got moonshiners and meth cooks galore out here. Mostly on the reservation, on which I am a honkey-tonk hero.
    Weapons are wimps ? What are their testosterone levels ? Under what circumstances would you consider them NOT wimps ?
