AN INTERVIEW WITH NEW VALLEY D.C.
ABE MOORE
How did it feel that night surrounded by MEN when they chose you to lead?
There were many feelings that came up for me that night, there is no doubt this is the biggest gift the men have given me thus far. There was a sense of pride and gratitude to take leadership responsibility and ownership for the future of mens teams in the valley, joy for having gone through the process and to be the last man standing. Happy to hear the many words of encouragement from so many men that believe in my leadership and that committed their support for me right there. It felt great that my son was there to experience that moment as a man on a mens team and as my son, for him to see me stand up and commit to taking on the biggest job of my time with the men.
What do you think you're paycheck will be from this leadership experience?
What I have learned is my answers to this question in the past for other jobs I have taken on haven't been close to the paychecks I received from owning those jobs in the end. The biggest paycheck I want from this experience and believe is possible is clarity on what I really want my journey to look like for the next 10-15 years hopefully leading up to a wonderful retirement with my wife. Some other paychecks I hope to receive are ability to successfully lead a large number of men at a high level, completing successfully as division coordinator and getting the respect and recognition from the men and seeing the results of having trusted my gut.
What do you want the MEN of the Valley and Full Monty to know about you in Leadership?
I am very judgmental I believe more than most of both myself and other men which causes me to be critical and even hurtful towards other men at times, having said that I sincerely care about mens lives. I consistently take responsibility and ownership of my words and actions, I trust myself and will fight for what I believe in. I instinctively go to the cave where I can hide out, I will do it on my own because I am a task master, asking for help is a learning process for me, I have a low tolerance for bullshit. I believe in mens circles because it has made the quality of my life worth putting in the work and I believe mens circles has the potential to make all mens lives the best they can be.
What do you want from MEN while you are leading?
I want men to speak the truth about themselves and about other men in a mature masculine way so that men get input from many men on how we are are being in our lives. I want men to create safe spaces for other men, I want trust and confidentiality to be priority number one, I want men to honor each others time by being clear on the support we need from each other, I want men to own and invest in their lives by making commitments and taking actions to have the lives we want. I want men to stay present to the reality of how precious life is and how fortunate we are every day that we are given the gift of life, I want men to fight for something better for themselves and their families. I want men to have fun and enjoy the journey.

Warrior Kings---Rutherford:
"I get to be weighed and measured without judgment by adult men against what's in my head versus the reality around me. I have a safe place to be given the dignity of self-discovery. I get to be in love with my wife and children in meaningful ways. I am given ways to bring value to the world around me."

O.D.B---STAUDER:
What I consistently get from my men's team is two-fold:
1) A context check-up when I am struggling in a particular area of my life that I feel is important and not going well...
2) A reality check when I am believing my own bullshit.

Machete---BREMS:
"What being on a MENS' team means to me"
My circle of Men is the place where I define myself as a man among men, and a man in the world. My Men's Team keeps me aware that I have ultimate say over who I am and how I want to show up when I face life head-on. They remind me that it is always my choice, and that the one thing a warrior has control over is where he chooses to focus his attention. What truly defines my power is how aware I am of my choices in difficult situations. My Team supports that man until I become him.

5 ways man has been trained to hate women
#5. We Were Told That Society Owed Us a Hot Girl
YES! This sums it up for me. I don't know if I feel "entitled" on purpose or consciously. It's just that look at EVERY movie/TV show etc. Hero usually gets the girl. You don't get the girl your a worthless shit. Even men who wouldn't realistically date(Sheldon Cooper/Dexter Morgan/George Costanza etc) get women. How can this guy get a date? If there was a tiny counter to "You are a man, even if you're single" maybe I could settle the thought down to nothing. Yes, it's not real, point applies. Men get women.
#4. We're Trained from Birth to See You as Decoration
Sure am. Playboy, anime, movies = sexy chicks in tight clothes. I admitted earlier that I'm "bisexual", but to hell with a man's body. Breasts are AMAZING! Penises, not so muvh.
#3. We Think You're Conspiring With Our Boners to Ruin Us
I'm not too sure about this one in general. I don't approach women. I have my pornography habit down so that's a plus. I mostly stick to "dammit if I was blah blah blah, i'd be fucking you hard" in my head
#2. We Feel Like Manhood Was Stolen from Us at Some Point
My mom calls me a "boy" I HATE IT. But she keeps it up.
#1. We Feel Powerless
Women pick men. Women can toss men away like toys at will. We want them more than they want us.
Dildoes, sperm banks, feminism all make men irrelevant. If mankind died off, all this would allow women to create society again without men. If men aren't even needed to father children any more then wtf are we supposed to do? And more women get degrees. More women might get powerful positions. And hell, I'd vote for a woman, but what if women took over completely?
Would men now be subjected to similar things like women used to be? Will I have a female boss that can treat me like shit because women are in charge? Will I now be the poorer person in the relationship if my potential spouse making more than I am? How will power shift against men?
YES! This sums it up for me. I don't know if I feel "entitled" on purpose or consciously. It's just that look at EVERY movie/TV show etc. Hero usually gets the girl. You don't get the girl your a worthless shit. Even men who wouldn't realistically date(Sheldon Cooper/Dexter Morgan/George Costanza etc) get women. How can this guy get a date?

20 Things Boys Can Do to Become Men
1. Learn who you are as an individual.
Figuring out who you are, what you care about, what you believe in, and what you stand for is the most important—and most difficult—challenge of becoming a man. We’re all raised with people telling us what to think, how to act, and what to say. Sometimes those people are parents, teachers, ministers, and other so-called authorities. Sometimes they are our friends and peers. Most of the time, given the choice, we seek the easiest path, the path of least resistance. We go along to get along. Sometimes that’s okay. But it’s those instances when you opt for a different path that can really define you as an individual. The important thing is you make those decisions for yourself—not out of spite against authority figures, or because of peer pressure, or even out of fear of losing someone’s affection—but out of conviction of who you are and who you want to be.

"WHAT FEAR CAN TEACH US "
FROM THE MAN WHO INVENTED FREE RUNNING
tOP TEN SIGNS SHE'S A BITCH
To a bitch, the only person in the world of any importance is herself. Others are merely warm bodies who get in the way of her selfish pursuits. She is the only person affected by a tragedy. The only feelings worth considering are hers. A bitch is so obsessed with herself that she would rather get a manicure than visit your father in the hospital.
No one should have to tolerate this kind of superiority complex -- especially a good man, who tends to be the preferred victim of the bitch.
10. Shaming is a common tactic women use to control their men. The bitch takes this to the extreme. By making you feel inadequate in every domain, she hopes to make you lose your self-confidence, then rely on her to do things "right." Nothing is good enough for her, and you are the only one, aside from her bitch friends, who actually listens. So she nags about everything you say and do.
