Men

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

I'm beginning to form the opinion that men are catching the insecurity disease off women.

Following on from the Bailey's thread where, apparently, if we drink Bailey's, other men are thinking we're gay. Who the fvck are these guys?! Are they the same men who are scared to hug another man in public...? Are these the same men who started threads about the 'correct' way to tie your shoelaces?

Whatever happened to real men? Who couild express themseves openly without having to worry what someone else is thinking? Christ, it'll be hushed celeb gossip at the water cooler next...

What is happening is probably that women prefer the more sensitive man, or at least give off that impression. So a lot of men trying to impress have no choice.

PurpleBerry

Ug. Me man. Me drinky Baileys. You look at me funny me hit you over hit with bottle. You no laugh then. Me real man. Ug.

Actually I don't understand the idea behind "real men drink only beer". Spirits are stronger than beer.

Degsy

Well let me tell you something.The way i see "men" behaving today is enough to make you go out and buy a dress.
They eat quiche
They eat paninis
They eat Wraps
They eat sushi
They drink de-caffe-double-expresso-tall-lattes
They moisturise
They grow long fringes and bleach them(scumags only)
They spend hours gelling and waxing thier overlong,womanly hair
And so on.
Bunch of poofs

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

this is what happens when you give women the vote.

we were warned people, we were warned.

What's wrong with paninis ffs!!

as for mositurising and gelling the hair etc...
if you spend any longer than 2-3 minutes gelling your hair then you have a severe case of the ghey.

Real men....

Shower twice a week.
Only get hair cuts when its in their eyes.
Spit.
Curse.
Drink whatever they goddamn want.
Wear Blue denims and 1 colour tops.
Laugh out loud.
Hold doors open.

Bread should have a crust atleast 1/2 inch thick... then you can safely dip it in your soup/tea

I would agree with that except for the bit about getting your hair cut when its in your eyes.
Real men shave thier own heads as soon as thier hair becomes more than an inch long.
Any longer than that marks you as a gay,a hippy or an unemployed.
Furthermore real men fart at will,leer at women and keep plates under the bed.
Any longer is either gay or hippy.

Let me explain.
Continental men are gay,they cry and wring thier hands and know how to cook.
Continental food is nouvelle cuisine..carmelised eggs,terrine of poached salmon,onion tartlet..all gay.
Continental breakfast is a croissont and orange juice,eaten by gays who are "worried about thier cholesterol".They're so angsty they dont realise sugar and caffeine will kill you faster than sausages and white bread.

+ 1. Except I just shave it every forthnight. The most important thing is if you have to do anything to it, it needs to be cut.

A long-haired person like you will never understand what it means to be masculine.

"Real men" - that's a much bigger insecurity than any of the examples posted.

Insecure is the word I'd use. I should have just put the word 'Degsy' in the OP and left it at that!

PurpleBerry

Bah "real men" "real women" where do all the pretend men and women hang out?

As far as I can see rom the various "real men" and "real woman" debates, "real men" are corse, gruff, hairy-chested, beer-drinking baldies and "real women" are fat.

Do i sound insecure?
Not me son.
I'm just concerned that blokes are turning into girls and they're not even aware of it.It might be too late to turn back the tide now.Being ghey is becoming an accepted norm.
Sad really..

ewj1978

I try not to laugh when i see blokes in pink shirts... i try but usually fail..

Homophobic then...? Or maybe you're Phelpsing....?
And DEFINITELY insecure if it bothers you that much...

brianthebard

Real men know that it takes more than a hairstyle, a choice of drink, or clothes to make them men. Real men define themselves.

Post reported. Absolutely no need for that. Fair enough degsy's opinion is as outdated as an episode of Glenroe but there's no need to resort to personal abuse.

Pigheads happy enough in his own masculine shell to be confident enough to post in places like the ladies lounge and fashion appearance. Real men are adaptable.

DenMan

This is the man I look up to, a real man, a man's man. What a hero to have. By the way I drink Baileys...and like it, although not too often, it is quite heavy. Off now to make cupcakes and coffee (I grind my own beans)

Your "logic" doesnt scan.
I assume you dress,act and eat like a woman for all this to bother you.

Dudess

Yes Ikky, you're defending it, therefore you ARE it...

I'm not a fan of that metrosexual stuff either - a guy doing allor any of the following is generally a no-no:

- Sunbeds
- Spray tan
- Hair straightening
- Styling their hair - as in, unable to leave the house until it's exactly the way they want it
- Diamanté earrings
- Hairbands - not those cloth things that some guys with long hair have to wear if they're working in bars, restaurants etc but actual hard hairbands like this: http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/945/15022981.JPG
- Following the current "style"

A lot of rough scobes do the above, it's not necessarily effeminate. And plenty of gay guys would run a mile before doing any of it.

I don't have time for neanderthals either though. And eating a panini, which is ostensibly a toasted sandwich... a lot of cafés/restaurants sell those now and they're very tasty so why not?

Kiera

Haha you just described my little brother, Dudess. He's sooooo ghey but wont come out even tho we all told him its ok. My mam begs him to dress like a normal guy for fear he'll get beatin up everytime he goes out

because they're a crappy excuse for a meal,they're overpriced and they never contain anything substantial.
Oh yeah,and they're gheeey!

Dudess

But you could say that about all sandwiches (the overpriced, unsubstantial stuff, that is).

Are you definite he's gay though? Cuz lots of straight guys do that stuff.

AckwelFoley

I border somewhere between the neanderthal and early homosapian period man.
Coffee no milk no sugar

if one chooses to be a ghey type mocha drinker.. Good 4 u.

I do say that about sandwiches..i hate them and i hate people who queue like schmucks to buy them.Muck.

It wouldnt bother me.If you cant make up your mind about your gender thats hardly my concern.

As much as it pains me to admit this, Degsy is right to a certain point. I wouldn't be as neanderthal or homophobic as he but yeah what the hell is happening to men?

I don't have a problem with continental food and it's always a good thing to be able to cook but they are becoming far too effeminate.

Nah he's not he's a male slapper but we still call him it anyway

Ah but i'm not homophobic.If somebody wants to be gay thats thier own business and i've met enough gay people over the years not to be bothered by them.Its when allegedly straight people behave like gays because thats "the fashion" and they cant see for themselves what they're turning into.Thats my problem.
Try and get " a cup of coffee" in dublin and see what nonsense is said to you.Its alrite for girls who think they live on Laguna Beach to go on like this but men..??

When i was in my teens and began shaving i used Nivea as aftershave moisturiser * cue strange looks and guffahs from my peers * I didnt give a frig what anybody thought then (still dont) as it was good for my skin .Now every other bugger uses it and it's advertised eveywere ( i was obiously ahead of my time)

Panini's are quite tasty.

I say this, yet I'm as manly as can be.

I could argue that I have made up my mind and am happy with my choice - it's you who is coming across as being 'bothered' by it. Why do people with long hair bother you? Why do people buying sandwiches bother you? Why the objections?

I'm beginning to think that you're a lot more bothered by all this than you're letting on. It's like Al Murray - I was NEVAH confused!! But looking completely horrified at the same time
