As opposed to you, who doesn't have a real job and probably has no girlfriend. But I'm sure you "know somebody" who is rich and has a hot girlfriend. No, 5 of them.

Well what do YOU have to back up 91TTZ ???

What am I supposed to back up? I'm not the one who made any sort of ridiculous claim, Tec did.

If you claimed that you drive a Lamborghini and I call you on it, you have to back yourself up. Not me, I didn't make the claim.

You couldn't afford to live where I live son. Where I live people drive $60,000+ cars. Where I live people have college degrees and own businesses. Where I live people are multimillionaires. It's called being jealous and envious. You see a male that looks good and you automatically think "i love you!" and then you see his girl and the car he drives. You become jealous because you know that you'll never in your lifetime achieve his success.

btw, my unlce's looking at the new $90k Mercedes. You can afford one of those, right?

That made absolutely no sense.

I'm just ranting a bit so please don't get offended. I'm finishing up college and yes I work 2 jobs to support myself because I'm determined to become successful. My parents don't give me sh*t! I live on my own and yes I do everything on my own.

What pisses me off is the attitude of people. Just because I care about my appearance I sometimes get joked at and it's bullsh*t. You don't know me so why categorize me? I'm a hardworking individual who is every bit of a man as you. I like football. I like to get dirty. I like to do manly things but I also like shopping for clothes and I like using hair gel. But I'll also fight to the death for my country because I love my country.

If that makes me a queer than so be it.

Probably because I haven't gone Metro yet.

It's odd that a woman wants a man who acts like a MAN, isn't it?

First of all, you did say that you're a metro. You made a post about it a couple weeks ago.

Secondly, we live in a democracy, not a communist nation. Why should I move to a communist nation when I can live here and vote? Luckily on this issue, the majority sees things my way. If anyone should leave because they don't like it, it's you. After all, you're the one complaining about the views held by the majority.

man you just keep burying deeper and deeper and deeper.

No wonder you have no clue what a man is.

What in the world do mommy and daddy have to do with this thread?

And PS - million dollar homes are not that special nowadays. They are everywhere as are 60K cars.

No, it's not odd that she wants a man who acts like a MAN; but that's not what she has; she has a homosexual-wannbe with no brains !!!

Eh, nothing I guess. I'm just ranting off. I'm a hard working individual who works 2 jobs and I attend college full time. Mommy and daddy don't give me squat. I'll go off on the deep end sometimes when ranting so please disregard my off the wall comments.

Well it's good that you're trying, but if you're still in school you're not exactly in a position to put my job down. Of course someone's dreams will always be more interesting than someone else's reality.

I've never seen you and I've never joked about your appearance. If you didn't *make a thread asking if you're metro*, I wouldn't have been able to tell over the internet.

To Tech: you are correct that vets died for our freedoms. but they also died for our right to disagree. and while i may or may not agree with what 91TTZ says... and how he says it... i do believe that he has a right to speak his mind. freedom of speech is not only for those who agree... I believe that if one person has the right to get a rainbow mullet, tatoo 98% of their body and stand on the street corner singing the praises of religion... a man in a straight laced sit and short clipped hair has the right to think he is a nutjob. and vise versa.

91TTZ: we are not a democracy. never have been. never will be, despite the best attempts of a few in this country. we are a republic. there is a huge difference. majority does not rule.

I admire people who are brave enough to be themselves, even if that means they attract some disapproval from narrow-minded prudes like YOU!

good man. keep it up and you'll be successful. But I understand you view point at where you are in life right now (just starting to find your identity, who you are, etc). I was the same way only had a mohawk, dressed punk and wondered why people made fun of me even though I was brillant...gee, guess it was a fad.

Just trust me dude, you'll change. You're still changing and will probably look back and think "what the hell was I thinking"

91TTZ...

This is what my bathroom looks like:

In the shower...

1 conditioner
1 shampoo
soap
facial cleaner

near sink...

toothpaste/brush
listerine
biolage (hair gel)
moisturizing lotion
astringent (for the face)
Sally Hansen hair remover
shaving cream

That's it. I don't have a million and one products. I have just recently started to shave my body hair because I hate it! I've always hated body hair. It doesn't have anything to do with getting women. I hate it and I was so self conscious of it especially when I'm wearing a nice shirt/tie.

But that's just me. Maybe my products might be a bit too much for you but I've always been like this.

Yeah, but if you live in any reasonably sized city, you will see most guys taking care of their appearance. Since when is using hair gel or any other hair product "unusual" for a guy? I would have thought it was the norm.

ok..dont get mad... this is an opinion/observation.. not a judgement..

but that is an awful lot of stuff for a guy to have....no? to me that is a lot. i cannot think of anything you left out. those are the same things that i have for me.

my b/f has....
shampoo
toothbrush
razor/shave gel
deoderant.

that's it.

again, not trying to get at you... it just seems weird to me.

Dude, that's not metro at all. You've just been expelled from the metro category.

I've never been hairy so I don't have to worry about it. I didn't need to shave until my early 20's, and I didn't need to shave every single day until my mid 20's. But I am getting hairier with age.

Something to hold your hair together isn't what we're talking about here. I would gather that most men use something. Its all the other fluff we're talking about.

Taking care of one's apperance is one thing - looking and acting fruity is a completely different ballgame.
