Perfect!! It captures practically all that needs to be said on the rank of modern males. Notice, I did not use the soon to be archaic word "men"!(lol) "Words do mean things....or do they?"

Nothing venture nothing gain. Get ahead by keeping your nose to the grindstone. All those other good saying as well. One can say that the economy wouldn’t be anywhere near as great as it is if it weren’t for men. If you’re not willing to take risk financially and\or physically than your returns will most likely be small. Also those who are willing to sacrifice time with family and friends are more likely to accomplish more than if they didn’t. It reminds me of sports in a sense. Those who are willing to put in the extra time and effort and sacrifice their bodies are more likely to accomplish more than those who don’t. You not of much worth if don’t want to take ill advice shots every time you touch the ball but if you too afraid to take a shot because you might miss then you not much good either.

I think you're downplaying the testoserone element. I once spent a summer crewing on a yacht during races. Now, the prize was usually something like a silver pickle dish. But you wouldn't have known that if all you saw was the behavior of the capitans during the race (and these were men of some means). I fully expected my capitan to pass out grappling hooks and cutlasses in case some "chickenshit worthless sob bastard" (his exact words) tried to crowd us at the turns. I dunno James.
