    Ok so if your dream woman said to you "If you get your chest waxed ya can have me anyway ya want me" You're saying you wouldn't do it for fear of being branded gay :confused:

    I'd do it in a heartbeat :D

    Can't see how he'd branded gay if he did it for a woman. If he did it of his own accord though...

    Well if there was a girl I fancied and I happened to get wind that she preferred lads who waxed I'd take my accord off to the salon and get waxed!

    Nah I'm not that petty, if my chest hair bothers her she can fúck off. It's part of who I am :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,399 ✭✭✭Bonito


    I did. "Yore ma"

    This should be "Your ma".

    What? No officer I'm not telling you how to do your job. I really don't see the need for the batton sir. Sidewalk? You mean path. No I was not giving cheek sorry sir. Yes sir, you should know if I'm giving cheek or not I apologise.

    What ponders me is do some girls get the same buzz off watchin' 2 lads goin at it that some lads get watchin' 2 girls goin' at it?

    Er no. Can't say that seeing two lads kissing has ever turned me on. Nothing wrong with it,but not a turn on.

    Apparantly when lads are sending texts to each other these days they end the texts with hugs and kisses-ie xoxo
    So brummytom someone said before..

    Women only gyms, sexist fcuks, yet the same women bítch and whine about not getting into golf clubs. I hope they never let the same bítches into the golf clubs, EVER. :)

    Men waxing is not normal, do not be deluded.

    Cos women waxing is the most natural thing in the world is it? ;)

    I've done seven out of those eleven things, some regularly, and I'm not gay.

    I do lots of things that might be considered gay. Someone mentioned putting an 'x' at the end of a text to your male friends - yes, but obviously in a jokey way.
    If I kiss a mate on the cheek, it's obviously a joke. These are light hearted, trivial things just like getting an ear pierced or putting on moisturiser (I have dry skin when I drink a lot of beer). I also like camp music...it's fun, who cares?

    I can still watch sports or play soccer on weekends or burp the alphabet. But there are so many important things about being a man - honesty, trustworthyness, confidence, thoughtfulness and personal conviction being notable amongst them. Basically all of the best qualities you see in someone like your Dad.

    If you are relying on the pretty superficial fact that you dont use moisturiser, or that you dont let your girlfriend make you wear silly clothes, or that you dont like Jedward - as a means to back up your masculinity, then you probably arent all that much of a man on a realistic level to begin with. You may not be much fun either.

    Dry skin and clothes your Mum bought you dont make you a man.

    American spelling accepts only -ize endings in most cases, such as organize, realize, and recognize. British usage accepts both -ize and -ise (organize/organise, realize/realise, recognize/recognise). British English using -ize is known as Oxford spelling, and is used in publications of the Oxford University Press, most notably the Oxford English Dictionary, as well as other authoritative British sources. The OED lists the -ise form separately, as "a frequent spelling of -IZE..." It firmly deprecates usage of "-ise" for words of Greek origin, stating, "[T]he suffix..., whatever the element to which it is added, is in its origin the Greek -ιζειν, Latin -izāre; and, as the pronunciation is also with z, there is no reason why in English the special French spelling in -iser should be followed, in opposition to that which is at once etymological and phonetic." It maintains "... some have used the spelling -ise in English, as in French, for all these words, and some prefer -ise in words formed in French or English from Latin elements, retaining -ize for those of Greek composition.

    tl;dr -ize is not an Americanism.
