Things that grown men aren't supposed to do anymore

    What else should grown men have stopped doing?

    I just came across this CollegeHumor.com "article."

    http://www.collegehumor.com/post/6947438/7-tricks-for-looking-like-a-grown-man-and-not-a-stupid-teen-baby

    The third one down says grown men aren't meant to wear "backpacks" anymore, and that they should be wearing shoulder bags. Is this generally how people feel about the issue? I personally always see shoulder bags as pretentious and silly looking. Not sure why, it's just what they look like to me.

    I don't actually carry a bag with me at all, of any kind, but I like to think that if I need to at some stage, a basic backpack won't come across as immature looking.

    Not that I give a sh.t what other people think :cool:

    Anyway is there anything else you would add to this list?? Obviously, giving a sh*t what other people think being a prime one.

    I wouldn't be caught dead with a shoulder bag, What's wrong with a backpack? I always use one whenever I'm heading to a friends house with my laptop or going shop on the bike for a few cans or whatever.

    Offer little girls sweeties, isn't that what they like?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 535 ✭✭✭NoCrackHaving


    You know Collegehumor is a comedy site, clue is in the title. None of those articles are supposed to be taken seriously, I doubt whoever wrote it actually said men can't wear backpacks, come on like, the amount of commuters in suits I see wearing them is ridiculous.

    Also, who the **** wears shoulder bags?

    thou shalt not think that any male over the age of 20 who plays with a child that is not their own is a paedophile, some people are just nice.

    All my mate's wives give me these strange looks when I run round to their houses on Saturday mornings, out of breath, asking if their husband's are coming out to play curbs.

    Well excuuuuse me for not wanting to stop doing what I've always enjoyed doing.

    If they tell me to grow up, I just tell them I can see their nipples and leg it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    Bring a shoulder bag to work. Assuming shoulder bag means a satchel type bag. It's hardly an accessory. Not much chance of fitting headphones, lunch, book, large smartphone etc into my pockets.

    Cry...unless punched or kicked in the family jewels, in which case it is totally acceptable.

    Seriously, some around here need to take their hands out of their sweat pants/trackies when out in public.

    Do men seriously not cut their toenails? I know my OH doesn't....they look like talons by the time he gets around to it. When he eventually does it, he takes his shoes and socks off and shows me like its some amazing achievement!!

    I don't cut my own toenails. I hate cutting them. Feet just creep me out. They are properly done by a friend who is a podiatrist. I don't have any illnesses or anything I just thing feet are stomach turning.

    Grown men should not wear t-shirts.

    Really, the core gamer market is young males with disposable income in the 18-35 year old demographic. If they are not ment to play video games they should stop watching TV and reading too because they are the same thing.

    Try again.

    Women keep leaving it down though.

    Toilet seats should be like cinema seats, and spring back up® when not in use.

    I went on a date with a guy who wouldn't wear a backpack. I asked him how he carried it so and he said down by his side from the handle on the top...

    weirdo.
