The Rules of Being a Man

HOWEVER, the guy under thirty (who isn't in a country like yours where wine is an extremely common drink) who orders the red wine on his date, swishes it around, throws out a few wine phrases like "nose" or "let it breath"... those guys are just hilarious.
Or... they like wine. I assume that if a guy orders wine and gulps it without regard for its basic subtleties, he's just trying to show off how rugged and unpretentious he is.
 
I like wine. I always ask for it whenever travelling on a plane. My knowledge of the matter, however, is limited to "red goes with steak, white with chicken". It's enough to get me around, and as I'm not rich anyway, I see no need to learn all that advanced stuff.

I'm not saying that wine should just be gulped down. You can enjoy it however you see fit and that's perfectly fine. However, there is a difference between a person who enjoys wine (with all its subtleties) and a person who feels the need to throw out every wine term he knows in a desperate attempt to make his date think he's cultured.
 
Real men don't need to prove that they're cultured.

The Italian suit, BMW and platinum credit card is proof enough.

Well, being wealthy is a not proof that you're a real Man.
btw: someone who tries to impress people around him with what he has accomplished or done WITHOUT having being asked to say that in a conversation, is a fool.
 
if you need to define your a man, your clearly not, machoisam in general sucks, and i find the self coincious "must be macho" men hilarious

remember gay people can be macho as well :O so theres no point in saying "do this or your gay and not a man"

yes and i know the next two questions.

im not gay
but i do have no shame :)

Don't be bothered by it ... these americans/brits/australians don't know what they are talking about. ;)

Ergo you're talking about boys?

well if you define all males under 25 as boys then yes i am, the only time ive drunk wine is when i played wine pool at a party thing where we found a bottle of wine, basically you take a shot of wine for every ball you pot. But that doesnt count as drinking it thats more swilling it, drinking wine would mean savouring the taste etc.

It is if that wealth allows you to have 4 goons/bodyguards around you all the time. :D

Hey, look at my previous post just above Fifty's. I already said I'm NOT rich. :p

Lighten up. This is a joke thread where we make fun of all them stereotyping and post the most outrageous ideas we can think of.

I wonder why we need rules for being men (well I'm not technically a man, I'm too young to be one, but I'm still wondering).

Because it's a tough, confusing world out there, and sometimes a guy with good intentions can find himself crying at a chick flick after a quiche dinner, wondering what has gone wrong with his life. At which point he needs some guidelines to look at, some "rules" for manliness, to help him get back from the wilderness. For what does it profit a man to gain all the nice things in the world but to lose his own stones?
 
Only women are concerned with 'use by dates'.

Mathilda: I never got back to you about the difference between the shallowness diplayed by men and blondes. That's because someone correctly identified it already. Something to do with giggling and grunting.
