Proud to be mama’s boys
Even though some women can’t stand mama’s boys, and men fail to understand what’s wrong with being one? It’s time feel proud about being one as author Kate Stone Lombardi in her book The Mama’s Boy Myth, insists that the old stereotype that these men are weak and more likely to be gay is not true. She believes that mummy’s boys have a “broader definition of masculinity” that is of considerable benefit to their mental health.
In capital we spoke to men, who are proud to be their mama’s boys and have no qualms admitting it.
Gaurav Gera, who works in a private firm, admits he’s a mama’s boy and is proud of it. “I am also my dad’s son. Luckily, no girl has ever teased me about this. Some women may harbour negative attitude about men who are closer to their moms, but I believe such men are much more sensitive and emotional when it comes to relationships.”
Nickhil Seth, owner of Babelon club was often teased by his ex for being a mama’s boy. He shares, “I am proud of being one and admit it without any thought. Even when I was teased by my ex girlfriend, it didn’t affect me and neither I felt bad. I am sentimental and emotional, and I love my mom, I don’t see this as a bad thing.”
Media professional Rinki Sen, has been in a serious relationship with a ‘mama’s boy’ (as she likes to call him). She says, “When we started dating, Mayank made it clear that his mom’s approval mattered to him. I was skeptical of our relationship, but his mom made me feel at home and I can see where Mayank gets his strength from. Mama’s boy needn’t be a negative term always. My beau is understanding and caring what else can I ask for?”
