   I'm a tad disappointed about the manly part in the meaning but then again i guess it fits. My boyfriends who is a big 240lbs 6'3 says that i act like the man in the relationship and he is tired of feeling like a b. Whenever something happens i always take complete control of the situation. The reaon i am this way is because i don't like to rely on anyone for anything, i don't like being disappointed or have regrets. If i do it i know it will get done and be correct. So i guess this makes me manly. Then fine. lol
