The Rules of Being a Man

To short just to say edit.

If people are watching, only Chuck Berry is permissable. Yngwie Malmsteen is right out of the question.

Are you kidding? Why do you think people play Don't Stop Me Now or Layla, or Ace of Spades?

Hey, Rambuchan! What about crying? You forgot to mention it!

Good point. I think crying is only allowed at certain times. For instance, hair removal other than normal facial shaving is only allowed if it is prohibitively painful. So if while plucking your nosehairs a reflex forces tears, than you may rest assured that your manhood has not been compromised.

Rule 5 is for suckers.

And rule 8 is just meat industry programming.

The only one I remotely agree with is two and six (I would offer my coat to a lady not because she's weak but just because it's a nice thing to do).

Its ok to tap your feet to those, in order to show your appreciation. Bobbing your head in time to the music is borderline but usually ok in Macho Sharia Law. But thats about it.

What i've always said.

I'm so straight I can act gay and still be striaght .

Actually, I rather see myself as a lesbian trapped in a stupid blokes body .

Good point. I think crying is only allowed at certain times.

I suppose the one macho rule I follow is don't cry. I haven't shed tears of sorrow since my early teens. Tears may flow in a fit of rage (in which situations I'm too violent for anyone to worry about my lacking manliness), but otherwise I only cry when cutting onions.

 

[Rambuchan]

Should us men walk around, pounding on our chest while saying ME MAN? Last time i checked to be a man you had to born with a Dick, not follow some rules. If a woman follow those rules does that make her a man?

Lighten up dude, it's a bit of fun. And don't be so ridiculous and suppose that a woman could ever be a man! I mean....!? :shakehead

@ Narz Your comment about the meat industry is very insightful but you do sound like some girly wuss in saying it

OK. By popular demand I am inserting a rule about crying.

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

Hah! You cut onions like a sissy girl!

.

 

[luiz]

I put my arm around other guys' shoulders. I wouldn't say it's wierd.

Actually that's weird in many levels.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Its only permissable for a real man to cry if he's dressed like an American Indian and looking at pollution. Only one tear is allowed to roll down the cheek. No other signs of emotional distress allowed. That is the Law. Also, 'Two Legs Good, Four Legs Bad!'

 

[Mise]

I'm sorry, you're wrong. She doesn't want you to pay. In fact, she doesn't care who pays, she's just being polite. If she doesn't offer, then she either can't afford to pay or is being extremely rude.

It depends what kind of relationship you have. If she's my friend she's being polite.

 

[GenMarshall]

I follow all of these cardinal rules of being a man.

 

[luiz]

It's also worthy of notice how the definitions of manliness vary from region to region. Most foreign men look gay to me.
That's because many tourists who come to Brazil dress in a way that is very similar to that of gay brazilians.

 

[The Last Conformist]

Concerning who pays the bill, here around the standard assumption is that the bill is split and everybody pays for his-/herself.

 

[bloodofages]

Lighten up dude, it's a bit of fun. And don't be so ridiculous and suppose that a woman could ever be a man! I mean....!? :shakehead



Well if they have a sex change... Is that even possiable?

that's very funny. Got any pictures?

@ Bloodofages: Think about the implications dude. Can a woman who has had a sex change become a man? That would be one less woman in the world right? Clearly quite unacceptable. And then there's the whole shower after games thing

No, no NO!!! You're a MAN! You do NOT admit you are wrong EVER!

You should have attempted to turn the tables, and bring up a shortcoming (hehe, short coming) in your opponent, like how they still haven't payed you back that money you leant them for a packet of crisps 2 years ago.
