I cried at that part in the Patriot when the little girl speaks to her Dad for the first time telling him not to off to battle. In the words of Robert De Niro "slap a pair of tits on me and I'm a woman"

Oh, yeah... I get a pedicure periodically (helps with ingrown toenails), I use "Oil of Olay" soap... have a couple expensive pieces of clothing in the closet...

Dunno what else.

I'm afraid my list won't be very long...
- Once I let a girl put face make up on me...I dunno what exactly...it's not like I can name them...
That's it...

I'm a pretty good cook (and excellent on the grill if I do say so myself), but I don't consider cooking very girly. I guess there are some things you could make that are pretty feminine...but in general it's not...

I don't like most sports, but I do like football. Hockey, Basketball and especially baseball don't interest me.

I cut my nose hairs with some scissors I got from the "beauty department" at pharmasave. :p

I own 4 pairs of shoes:
- Running/Walking/Gym shoes
- Winter boots (gotta love those -35C Calgary winters)
- Sandals (Jerkinstocks)
- Black Dress Shoes

I *might* get a pair of hiking boots to for next summer.

But all my shoes have very distinct functions. I do not buy the exact same pair of shoes in 2 different colours, ever.

I buy shirts that cost $5 from Wal Mart. I cut my hair with electric clippers on the 6mm (1/4in) setting. I wash my hair with a bar of soap. What kind of soap? whatever is on sale at Safeway the day I'm there. I watch football. I watch WWE wrestling.

I'm not very feminine I'm afraid.

Do you actually go to the store with him? He might be buying ammunition and a 1000 feet of duct tape at the same time to make up for the lack of testosterone.

Yup I meant wearing them myself. I love cashmere sweaters for the winter, and I have a number of silk bowling shirts. Ok ok I also admit it I have a pair of Velvet pants.

There's absolutely NOTHING unmanly about cooking. I am proud to say that I cook better than 99% of the women I've dated. I even have a small recipie box...I dont' consult it much, since I've memorized most of the stuff I cook on a regular basis. I cook, therefore I am.

I like to cook mostly because I really like to eat. I am my own best customer. I sit there w/a plateful of hot food and go "mmm-mmm! Damn I'm good!" :D


ahhh, but at one time it was, that's why I stated it is considered no longer a womanly issue. I suspect some of the other things being listed, eyebrow threading, shaving the legs, sewing will no longer be considered womanly in the near future. Now the question is is that a good thing or a bad thing?

My cooking expertise involves throwing the macaroni and cheese into the pot when the water starts boiling. I add a dash of red pepper to liven it up.

As far as pedicures and manicures go, I usually cut my nails off with a rusty blade :D

Lack of testosterone?!?!?! I'd say *that* characterizes the "men" who somehow feel "gay" buying a little box. As if gay men would really want maxi-pads. The fact that he doesn't mind means he's a real, confident, and definitely-going-to-get-some male :) btw, how's YOUR love life ;)
