Fcukin' metrosexuals, ruining our men :mad:

I'd take a big hairy chested man with big shoulders and a beer belly any day over some skinny, primped douche.

I like strong men, the kind that only believe you should cry when someone has died or you've been hurt physically, not the kind who sit in their rooms and cry over world hunger or Coldplay :pac:

You do know that ancient Egyptian men used to wear makeup? Men in the eighteenth century dressed in those ridiculously flamboyant clothes and had those wigs, ponytails, long hair etc.

Fashion just changes throughout time. Get used to it.

I think stretch skinny is even tighter than skinny but I'm not sure.

It'll be jeggings and latex before you know it!

I like the 1930/40s man. Guys like Humphrey Bogart, scotch drinking, cigarette smoking, hat wearing gangsters. When they speak they finish every sentence with 'see'.

Nowadays you have to finish every sentence with "you know..."

Yet many of the delectible Swedish women still prefer something that resembles masculinity and therefore hook up with your average looking Irish construction worker.

Oslo the same. Not too hard for a stubbly pint-lowering ballad-singing Paddy to pull out on the weekend. For shame that once proud land. Axe-wielding sea raiders to fake spectacle wearers.

Has anyone Godwinned the thread by mentioning how manly the SS uniforms were yet?

You could be confusing it with a similar German movie I saw once, it had a plumber called Horst,who was to fix a machine for the bean a tigh,but it turned out that wasn't all she was interested in.:cool:

Is that even a word?

They are a dying breed alright the manly man but definitely not extinct. Although that may become more of a problem if they don't stop with female drugs in the water supply.

Pug160 · 01-03-2013 10:15PM

It's mostly young teenage girls who fancy the people out of those type of bands. Girls at that age either fancy the boys from those bands or thug types.

Ah all these Manly men on here, using their Gillette "Oh so sensitive" Multi Turbo Vibra-Glide pieces of plastic.

For them, just to point out this is a razor.

That, is a bloody deathwish.

Fair play to people using them on themselves, I wouldn't trust a barber to use one on me

Worse than a beanpole in skinny jeans is an overweight guy with his big fat thighs and ass constantly threatening to burst out.

I'm amazed how manliness has disintegrated over the past few decades.

Since when has the likes of Timothy Dalton etc. become less attractive than the pre-pubescent pube-less One Erection?

Now im not blaming women but......

I'm glad Nikola Tesla is dead and doesn't have to witness the ******ry of 20 something males fannying around in A+F gear.

RIP Manliness

Nikola Tesla was one of the LEAST manly men ever to have lived.

He was effeminate overly sensitive a cry baby without any sex drive for either sex..and completely neurotic.

On the other hand he was a genius ..very compassionate and highly emotional...and adored animals

Near the end of his life, Tesla walked to the park every day to feed the pigeons and even brought injured ones into his hotel room to nurse back to health.[175][176] He claimed that he had been visited by a specific injured white pigeon daily. Tesla spent over US$2,000, including building a device that comfortably supported her so her bones could heal, to fix her broken wing and leg.[35] Tesla stated, "I have been feeding pigeons, thousands of them for years. But there was one, a beautiful bird, pure white with light grey tips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female. I had only to wish and call her and she would come flying to me. I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.

He was a vegetarian...but became anorexic....he lived on milk vegetable juice honey and bread and nothing else.

He was 6'2 and 140 lbs

He may have been gay....but he seems never to have been interested in men either ..but who knows maybe he did not know himself..

He said in his later years to a reporter that he regretted not marrying.

Poor guy had OCD apparently.

He was fastidious about appearance.

Tesla could be harsh at times, openly expressing disgust for overweight people, such as when he fired a secretary because of her weight.[200] He was quick to criticize clothing. On several occasions, Tesla directed a subordinate to go home and change her dress.

AND

He believed women should and would rule the world.

In 1926, Tesla commented on the ills of the social subservience of women and the struggle of women toward gender equality, indicated that humanity's future would be run by "Queen Bees". He believed that women would become the dominant sex in the future

He consistently allowed business men to walk all over him and would then bitch...he died penniless
He was overly emotional, anxious, obsessive, a loner, considerate , soft spoken and delicate but too serious and seemingly lacking in a sex drive..maybe gay ??...

Was brilliant...but quite quite mad

I agree to be honest. Even some of the younger guys in college tell people that they cried during last nights episode of Dr.who. Things have changed!

For the love of christ.....they should be out, hunting down game and clubbing it to death with their langer, not moping over fictional time things.

Ruudi_Mentari · 02-03-2013 12:41AM

Why only now?! suit yerself..

.. listen brother the only time manliness actually existed away from that last avenue of repressed pent up manly frustration aka 'the battlefield' was in the 1980s. Guys could even dress as women and still be butcher than the corminator though still, blouses to you and me.

Take it from me the waxed down short hairs who wanted to preen emselves and wear silky things killed it. Boyzone and westlife honed their skills in the first raves, for instance.

Men are usually attracted to women with high levels of oestrogen, causing things like full lips, round hips etc. In physical terms, what we like is fairly one-dimensional.

Women's preferences are multi-dimensional. They're attracted to physical attributes associated with fertility just like men are - strong jaw, wide shoulders etc. However their instinct is not just to find the strongest most fertile mate, but also to find one who will stick around and be a good father.

The result is that most women are attracted to men with indicators of oestrogen for long-term partners, and men with indicators of testosterone for short-term partners. They also have an instinct to cheat on the former with the latter, to try to get the best of both worlds. However they instinctively distrust the former to stick around.

The exceptions are the most physically attractive women, who are only really drawn to men with high testosterone. Presumably their own attractiveness makes it unlikely for partners to leave. They're also less likely to cheat. However they are more likely to trade up partners.

My source for this information is a documentary I saw on Discovery ages ago. Don't know how sound the research was behind it etc. It's all very primal and nasty really. Very much ties into notions of alphas and betas and so on. Unfortunately my personal experience does support it. As a big chinned, hairy backed type I've encountered plenty of women who wanted to cheat on their partners with me - openly, in one case. I've also found that the sort of women who've been most interested in actual relationships with me have been particularly good looking. Their level of interest tends to reflect my level of physical attraction to them. Perhaps recognising that is what makes them class guys as safe bets, and it's just a case of the most attractive women encountering it a lot more often.

Years ago, some women who used old, unattractive men for their money would often seek out young, handsome men to father their children and pretend it was their husband's child. This apparently happened quite a lot. It presumably happens much less now as they'd probably be found out. Although saying that - high testosterone certainly doesn't equal good looks - not necessarily anyway. Women do seem to have a wide range of characteristics that they find physically appealing in a man. Some like skinny nerds, others like the more conventional good looks, others like rough men with scars and all sorts.

I would say that individual women seem to have a certain type of man they find handsome, more so than men. Men tend to find lots of different types of women attractive. How many times do you hear a woman go on and on about muscular men, or men with big mops of hair, or men of a certain race/ethnicity such as black men? I hear it all the time, and it borders on fetishism at times. There are a lot of contradictions when it comes to women though, and trying to figure half of it out is a task not worth taking too much time and effort.

Real men can scare women. This one direction & all that **** you're on about is like an introduction to men course for teenyboppers, a first step on the ladder. They soon grow out of it & move on to 'rockers' with skinny jeans & a bit of bum fluff. Nothing has changed before they liked donny osmonds, & bay city rollers & before that stories of prince charmings before they graduated to Heathcliffs. Anyway that's all projection, experience through the safe distance of imbibing the written word or media images.

When they encounter a real man in his prime, fierce & wild, it both excites & scares them. Like a wild colt they would love to tame it & harness it's power to their own ends but they are scared they might take one kick too many & not be able to handle it. It takes a real woman to be able to handle a real man & usually she will need a few years of experience before attempting it. If they are well matched in a yin/yang like balance they can go on to form a powerful partnership lasting years whereby he can remain just wild enough to be feel alive & just tamed enough not to trample everything he encounters.

Real women can have claws too so it works both ways.
