A friend of mine recently sent me a brief essay which I believe communicates so powerfully what happens when <em>men meet each other's needs in healthy ways</em>.  The author is <a href="http://dirtsoul.blogspot.com">Corey Beals</a>, a man I have never personally met.  I recently contacted him and received his permission to reprint this essay.  Read the words of this man, as he one day found himself stepping into <a href="http://abiggerworldyet.wordpress.com/">a bigger world yet</a>!

Attachment loss is when one is dealing with a sense that they are unlovable, unworthy of another’s time and attention; in short one believes that their life doesn’t count for much and they might even question the reason for their existence.<div class='yarpp-related-rss yarpp-related-none'>

		<description><![CDATA[<b>Rediscovering the Lost Art of Mature Masculinity in the 21st Century</b>

In my office I meet men of all different ages, from all different backgrounds who come to see me for all different reasons. Regardless of why a man comes to see me, it is rare that I come across a man who actually feels he understands masculinity and what it means to “be a man”. At the mere asking of the question most men give me that “1000 yard stare” – ironically, a phrase originally coined to describe the unfocused gaze of a battle wearied warrior. <div class='yarpp-related-rss yarpp-related-none'>

A dear friend of mine will often ask men, “Who is your 4:00 a.m. guy?”.  Who in your life can you call any time, day or night, and know that there will be a lifeline on the other end? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Do you know the answer?<div class='yarpp-related-rss yarpp-related-none'>

For the man who struggles with unwanted homosexuality the important decision at hand is when to disclose this part of his story to his girlfriend, fiancé, or wife. The ideal time to discuss his issues with unwanted homosexuality would be before the wedding vows are spoken. <div class='yarpp-related-rss yarpp-related-none'>

		<description><![CDATA[<b>The ABC’s of Telling Yourself a Good Or Bad Story</b>

We all do it.  We all take data in through our senses and tell ourselves a story based on that data.  Many times the data produces a true story immediately.  By “true story” I mean that “the story I tell myself” is accurately supported by the data taken in by my senses.
