Why on earth would it upset you when a man chooses to have his eyebrows plucked? Should he continue to ape about, looking unkept because plucking eyebrows is primarily a feminine tradition? Do you become equally enraged when women play baseball, traditionally a man's sport?

Please, explain to me why it bothers you so.

If a guy still looked like a guy but he plucked his eyebrows because they're bushy, I wouldn't get offended. If I saw a guy who looked totally fruity, like a woman in a man's body, I'd be very leery of that. If a woman wants to play sports, that's cool with me, as long as she stays feminine and isn't a bulldyke, ie, the softball team at my highschool.

Bad answer. First, you can't shut me up, you can suggest it but I am not inclined to do so@this time. Connery was as hairy as a monkey so it was an excellent example. Obviously you had no intelligent response and your estimation of the "example's" viability means nothing to me 😉


This is hairy as a monkey?
My bad, should have specified body hair, like in this pic I just googled up

Mike Myers is making fun of his being hairy with the Powers chest hair patch, I'd say he was known for his hairy manliness, and rough and ready persona. Instead of the foppish moore.

Even Moore was a man's man compared to Dalton and Brosnan !

The Bond Men

Brosnan is pathetic - SCROLL down in web page

You're homophobic, aren't you?

And why does it matter to you if a woman IS a so-called "bull ***"? If she wants to cut her her short, whatever, that's her business. What are you so worried about?

What a crock. General consensus around here, is that girls sleeping around is perfectly OK. Tattoos and piercings are "hot", as opposed to slutty. Yet, this girl is trailer trash because she doesn't like womanly men? Typical ATOT hypocrites. :roll:

yeah, a woman dares to speak about her preferences in men... god forbid, they'll be wanting the right to vote next.

I've always found people like you to be deeply pathetic. Your need to put down other people for not meeting your definition of manhood or femalehood is revolting.

That's ok. A majority of people finds your lifestyle deeply pathetic.

What is my lifestyle, exactly?

I don't hate you, I don't feel any strong emotion towards you, I simply think you are a pathetic creep and an a$$. 🙂

I don't dictate national policy. So continue mouthing off and attending pride parades, and the rest of the nation will continue staring at you in disgust.

Ah, the homophobia comes spilling out now. 🙂 I knew it would, people like you - people with rigid, inflexible conceptions of gender roles - are almost always homophobic, in my experience.

People like me aren't the reason that the majority of the population doesn't like people like you, people like you are the reason. Think about it.

People like me? Please tell me what I'm like.

Aidan, you strike me as an intelligent,compassionate person 🙂

I'm not trying to tell her that she's not allowed to be a bulldyke, I'm simply telling you that I don't like it.

I think the problem is that you feel that not only should someone be able to act the way they want, but in addition no onlooker should be able to dislike it. The world does not work that way. You're allowed to act like a weirdo, but expect people to look at you like you're a weirdo. You're only allowed to decide what YOU think, not what other people should think.

That's false. An alpha male is a natural leader. Of course most of the people on a computer hardware site are going to disagree with this, since most are wimps and/or geeks, and not alpha males...

Do you think Anand is a wimp or geek ???

Compared to you he's laughing all the way to the bank and probably has NO trouble "getting" women !!!

The actual homosexuality doesn't really bother me. It's not my thing, so it never even comes into the picture.

What does bother me is the culture that seems to have become the "Accepted" gay culture. I find it repulsive. If a dude plays football, dresses like a man and acts like a manly man but admits he's gay, that doesn't really bother me since I don't bother to know that side of a guy anyway. But when you get a guy who wears fruity clothes, acts like a woman, is effeminate, and has the typical vocal opinionated, left wing attitude, that's where the problem is.

Metrosexuals and liberals will destroy this nation.

Actually, no; conservative rednecks are responsible for your country's regression. I think most intelligent people agree with this fact.

Anand seems like a cool, normal guy. And being rich certainly doesn't hurt your chances getting women.

Hardcore neo-liberals and bible-thumping conservatives are both destroying this nation.

Really? I'm an extremely strong leader and always have been. I'm very successful professionally and now I'm completely financially independent. Last month I knocked a douchebag out outside a bar after he picked a fight with a small friend. I was also one of the most popular kids in highschool. By your definition I am metrosexual.

LOL, I had to revisit this post. It's so typical... internet tough guy talk. It has every aspect of a manufactured lie to dispel what's been said about you.

Let's see, you're "an extremely strong leader and always have been". Of course, you're a natural-born alpha male just like every other geeky kid that posts on the internet.

You're "very successful professionally and now completely financially independent". Of course, aren't all internet toughguys?

(Excuse me for a second, my butler just delivered some London Broil and Bordeaux) Ok, I'm back.

"Last month I knocked a douchebag out outside a bar after he picked a fight with a small friend.".- Ah yes, living vicariously through an internet "tough guy" personality! You're trying to create that superhero character that you always wished would save you when you got picked on.

"I was also one of the most popular kids in highschool."- Sure you were. The A/V crew is the most popular group in every high school. I bet your e-penis is 12" long, too.

I don't know when it happened...originally it seemed to be guys who rejected the demand that "real men are macho" macho=neanderthal pig. now it's just guys turned to women? i'm confused now.

Come on, isn't this taking it a little bit too far ???

Not really.

I've talked about this for some time. The gender roles are all messed up leaving men with a sense of gender ambiguity (ie, they start acting like women...metro/gay). We are men hear us rore, not OK honey I'll look like a girl if that's what you like.

Speaking of popular culture look who won survivor. That is a MAN. A good, take care of his family, leader...MAN
 
What exactly is a MAN? Can someone define what a MAN is suspossed to resemble in today's society?

If I shave my body, shop for new clothes and take care of my family does that make me any less of a man than someone who is a complete slob? I don't think so.

So can someone please tell me what defines a man in today's society?

IMO, guys who spend waaaay too much time on the computer aren't real men. When was the last time you killed something? So I guess that would exclude 99% of us.

:disgust:

You'll keep your views short and sweet???

I've been reading this thread for a long time and YOU have been posting seemingly ENDLESS posts and doing the MAJORITY of the talking !!! No one else can get a word in edgewise if they want to !!!!

You just put down every goddamn vet in this country because they fought for the right for a person to dress and act the way that they feel fit. SO APPOLOGIZE TO THE VETS. APPOLOGIZE TO MY FATHER WHO FOUGHT IN THE KOREAN WAR YOU GODDAMN COMMIE. APPOLOGIZE NOW!

YOU'RE THE PROBLEM WITH SOCIETY. YOU'RE A COMMIE. GO BACK TO CHINA, RUSSIA OR WHEREVER YOU BELONG BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T APPRECIATE WHAT THE VETS HAVE DONE FOR THIS GREAT COUNTRY.

APPOLOGIZE NOW!
