A Real Man

I love my husband. Through and through. For so many reasons, but especially because he is a sweet country boy at heart. He likes "manly" things...hunting, fishing, camouflage, sports, animals, being outside. And I kinda think that that is how a man should be. Manly. Strong. Rugged. Rough and tough (with a soft side on the inside, of course). 







And I know that it's definitely "to each her own" as far as how she prefers her man, but I sure am glad that he is mine. I just don't think I could deal with my man wearing tighter jeans than me. It just doesn't seem right...or comfortable...or even healthy (for certain parts).

Haha, I'm with you there with the tight jeans!

My husband is a "real man" too, but not a hunting, fishing, outdoorsy type. Ken is definitely a Mr. Fix Anything - cars, house, computers ... he can do it all. and he's always such a "protector" too.

Bahahahahaha!!!!!

I love my manly man!!! I really thought I'd be more independent but I love having someone who takes care of things. Last night when I got pulled over the cop just said get your husband to change the light (that was out and got me pulled over) I love that.

p.s. I think our men have the same truck! Except Mike's is diesel.

haha, the tight jeans part made me laugh. But I totally agree with this post! Justin is JUST like my boyfriend Matt. Matt is 100% country, he loves to hunt, fish, and trap. And I love it! There isn't anything that he can't fix, he knows how to chop and split firewood, plant a garden, and do all of those rugged manly things! I don't think I could date any other type of guy :)

Awwww what a sweet post! I'm with you girlie, my man isn't a hunter or anything, but he's an athletic nut man!

I dated a much more, sensitive guy for awhile and it was such a drag. he always wanted to talk about his feelings and I was like, can we just watch a hockey game?

(NOT judging other sensitive guys, I swear. This other guy was NOT for me in many other ways)

Even though sometimes I wish my bf would speak more about his feelings, I love dating a man's man.

HAHA!! This is so sweet, and so true!! There's just something about a man in steel toed boots with a little dirt on his hands!

Ashley Marie said...

haha this was totally about my husband!!! I love my man rough and tough - a man's man/manly man =) with a soft cuddly side of course!

Annabelle said...

Shalyn said...

I have a really really STRONG feeling we'd be besties if we would just MEET already. DDHP and your hubby would be the best huntin' partners ever! HAHA! Love you girl!

The Heart Of A Woman said...

That really is like my husband! He loves the outdoors and there is NO WAY you would catch him in tighter jeans than a girl haha!

MzJessicaxo said...

Hahah I love this!! No way should men being wearing tight pants! It's wrong on so many levels!

Happiness Is A Mood said...

So true! I have a country boy myself and I love it. I wouldn't have it any other way. Even if he has chased me around the outside of the house with a skinned squirrel in his hand!! Gross. Its nice to know that he can handle the guy stuff…these days its seems the rugged boys are hard to come by…thats why I stick to my good ole country boy from West Virginia :)

Shannon said...

you know i love tight jeans....
BUT you also know i love Justin's tight booty ;)

Heather said...

Country boys are totally better in my opinion!

J and A said...

This is awesome!! So cute. :)

Ashley said...

Oh I love this post! It seems like so many girls have polished, business men type husbands/boyfriends....and then there's mine. And I love him to death for the way he is - because it's who I fell in love with.

My Boy loves camo, hunting, four-wheeling, sitting by the bonfire, and racing cars. I'd say he's pretty country :-) He's always in a t-shirt/hoodie and jeans(that are usually a little dirty from being in the shop under the car), but he knows how much I love getting dressed up once in a blue moon and he'll do it just for me.

Completely agree with you - you cannot go wrong with a manly man, there is nothing better!! These pictures are great, seems like they really capture everything he's into :-)

Michaela said...

I'm SO glad H doesn't wear tight jeans. Quickest immediate turn off!! Justin is perfect for you :)

Beth Ann said...

I have a manly-man country boy, too, and wouldn't have it any other way! :)

Although, I must admit...I do like a country guy in tight jeans every once in a while...a.k.a. Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw.....

But if my husband wore a pair, I'd probably roll on the ground in hysterics.

Haley W. said...

Haha!! Too funny about the tight jeans..

I agree..men should definitely be outdoorsy and masculine while still being a little softy :P

Christina said...

There's nothing hotter than a man that works with his hands :) Cheers to manly-men!

Lia Joy said...

I completely agree. I like my man to be rugged and manly and tough! These pictures so remind me of my husband. He would live in his camo if he could :) And it makes my heart smile!

poptartyogini said...

I love being married to a gentle giant. He likes his manly sports but also gives one heck of a hug. And I don't think anyone should wear tight jeans. It is bad for my sensitive eyes.

Fran said...

So with you on the tight jeans.. SO wrong haha

Neely said...

bahahaha yes girl I feel ya! I love that C has guns and likes his dog and loves to be outside. YUM!

TracyZLesh @ Then I Got To Thinking said...

Angie said...

Ha Ha- I think my hubby and your hubby would be best friends!!!

BeckyJo606 said...

I agree with you! My husband spent last night working out in the yard and it is so attractive to me! I am so glad I have a manly man. :)

Jenna said...

Haha, love the picture of him completely decked out in camo! Such a sweet post written for you hubs :)

Nicole said...

I agree with you on the guy! I like them rugged and manly... I'm not so sure about guys who wear skinny jeans!!! Something seems weird there.

Megan said...

hahahaha. died laughing at your last statement..it is sooo true. i love how country your man is. amazing.

Meghan said...

I love real men! Yay for country boys! Just one question, does he have any single younger brothers? lol.

Rach @ This Italian Family said...

My husband is kind of all over the place, haha! He is huge into playing sports (especially basketball), but he also likes fishing, loves being outdoors, enjoys lawn work, and getting his hands dirty. At the same time, he likes to dress nicely for work (he's an accountant) and church. However, he and I agree with you on the jeans thing. ;)

Tiffany said...

I love this! Men should be men!!
