The Rules of Being a Man

[Dann]

We could use a few rules on
1. male underwear
2. flowers and gardens
3. music
4. How to act at the romantic movie your GF tricked you into seeing.

1. don't wear it
2. flowers are extraneous. however edible gardening (and self-sufficiency in general) is highly masculine. farmer is almost always thought of as a masculine term ("the farmer and his wife" not "the farmer and her husband")
3. real men do not listen to any modern "R&B"
4. catch up on sleep?

I disagree, for the most part.

1. Wear underwear at all times unless you have something "specific" in mind; Whatever cut is fine, provided it isn't a thong or anything ridiculous like that; also, they should be cheap and utilitarian.

2. It's for other people. You give flowers on dates and funerals, and that's it. Edible gardening is okay for married couples who live in the country but not for other men.

3. I think I agree with you here.

4. I disagree; I think more sullenness/protest would be better. While the movie is playing, look distractedly around the room, and throw in a few annoyed sighs when something cute/funny/"touching" happens.

1. My underwear is of the plain and utilitarian kind, and I change into new sparkling clean ones only on date nights.

2. We set aside areas for gardens on the site development plans, and let the landscape architects work on them. As for flowers all delivery arrangements are made by phone.

3. No particular taste, as long as it's loud.

4. Grope. Nibble her ear and kiss her neck.

Oh fear not Shadow they do need rules, no matter how jokey this thread is, the fact is most poeple just like fitting stereotypes, it's herd mentality. I am fully aware I lost my sense of humour btw, this thread maybe humerous but it's also pretty much a load of old tosh.There hows that for losing your sense of humour

i havnt head 'tosh' for aaaaaaaaages, awwwwww memories!

If you need a bunch of rules to determine whether you're a man or not...you've got deeper issues.

excuse me Mr. Jawz, but i think we can all agree that this thread is NOT a joke and should be taken very seriously.

 

[Desmond Hawkins]

The alcohol thread gave me a thought: Real men do NOT combine more than two ingredients to make a drink, and every drink must be either clear or brown. No wine either.

^ Goes to show what a boy you still are.

Good luck on your date.

Clothing wise anything with the buttocks cut out is gay as are rubber trousers or spandex bottoms unless your either a) a S&M freak or b) a fitness loon, anything else if done with a tongue in cheek i.e. cross dressing by a 6'4" rugby player nicknamed Mauler by his friends is not gay.

Pssst - Mauler might well be gay. Or he might not be. Crossdressing really isn't an indication either way, nor is height or rugby-playing.

 

[Mise]

Judging from the rugby boys I knew from school, Mauler probably is gay.

Since when was this thread about how people should actually act? It's about what is MANLY, not how normal people actually should or do act. Do you honestly contend that a splash of kiwi juice and a twisty of watermeloney limey spritzery girly juice in vodka is manly??? Or did you forget the purpose of your own thread?

Additionally, I have yet to meet a nice girl that is impressed by vain attempts to look cultured and intellectual (anybody under the age of 30 ordering wine and pretending to know a lot about it). Intelligent, good looking, perceptive girls tend to see through that facade instantly.

And I doubt any girl alive would be impressed by a guy drinking a kiwi lemon twisty martini

We have to clear up this wine thing. In the lands where wine originally came from, it is not an upper class, intellectual thing. Got it? As far as I can tell, where you come from it's the most horrible thing to touch a bottle of wine. That's not the case everywhere.

Where Fifty comes from you just have to breath and you're accused of looking cultured, intelligent and cool, when you are not. As such, I pretty much read over what Fifty posts nowadays. It's the same message over and over. Seen one post, you've seen em all.

I don't doubt that. And believe me, it isn't some completely horrible thing here to drink wine. 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. Note that I said under thirty, for older people it is much more acceptable as a behavior.

Good, I was beginning to believe you never had a good wine buzz

Yeah there's a HUGE difference between just drinking wine (acceptable activity) and pretending to be a wine expert to impress a girl (unacceptable activity).
