Why do some guys have to be as 'manly' as possible?

[88keys]

A friend and I were talking on lunch at work and since we both like to eat healthy and stuff we were discussing some of the healthy snacks and stuff we make from time to time.

And I was explaining how I started buying plain yogurt and adding diced peaches to it and he basically laughed and said "guys shouldn't eat peaches". And said why, and he responded with: "I like peaches, but it's just too girly for me".

And I was like wtf?

Anyway, I've run into alot of people like that (to some extent or another) but since when is it socially unacceptable for men to eat peaches? I guess we should eat bananas because nobody will think you're gay for that lol.

This kind of stuff along with the beards and flannel shirt trends combined with skinny jeans and iPhones makes me think that men today are having an identity crisis or something.

I know, right? Sometimes you just want to wear something lacey to feel beautiful, and you get weird looks at the gym. WTF?!

Yogurt is meant to be eaten by women and young children. Peaches smell gross.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Just remember that it was God that created peaches, rainbows, ponies, and all other things adorable and fab. It was man that turned them into the wicked implements of femininity.

disagree on both items. brought a 20 lb lug of peaches home yesterday. I think I will add some to yogurt tomorrow.

 

[sandorski]

Love me some Peach Yogurt or any other flavour. True Men eat whatever the fuck they want, even if others think it's girly.

A ripe peach is more sex than your insecure nitwit of a friend will ever experience.

Did you describe it in a girly way, or talk with a flamer voice? Maybe if you talked in a deep voice about how manly and strong peaches are, then smashed some peaches into a wall like a caveman and growled loudly that would be enough. Peaches are hairy like men! Women are more like nectarines!

This is great advice if you're not a virgin. I mean, I love peaches. I'll defend peaches to the death. But I can only imagine 88 keys fatass as a little bitch who I want to punch in the face to begin with. I don't know, it just doesn't seem legit. 88 you might want to get some T-boosters or something to man the fuck up. I can't explain manliness to you. If you don't know what it is then you might want to transition now while it's "cool" to do so.

Insecurity, perhaps justified? One nice thing about getting older is you start caring less and less about what people think of you.

Or "I've got so much going for me that people's perception of my masculinity is the primary concern in my life."

Peaches and yogurt are fine as long as said man is still doing his deadlifts, squats, and bench presses.

 

[SparkyJJO]

Does your friend also happen to have an account here? :hmm:

 

[It's Not Lupus]

Peaches are so tasty. I love to cross my legs and admire the peach before I take my first bite.

 

[stormkroe]

Answer to title? "Because they aren't".
Except for me, now go cram yourself in that locker OP, I'll be there for my drycleanin' money soon as I finish my cranapple-tini.

So, Jesus was gay is really what you're saying.

Ah, going to the gym so you can pretend you're a man for an hour, because nothing else you do the other 23 hours is manly.

If a man is keeping his testerone levels high (which weightlifting has been proven to preserve), then that by default makes him manly. Even into your 80's/90's we see men with more test than 30 yr old couch/desk jockeys. Hence you could watch my little pony for 4 hours a day but still have high test if you're staying consistent with the iron. Although by default you'd probably want to bone your wife more than watching ponies after lifting.

 

[TheVrolok]

I would contend that the "manly" move is to not give a shit what others think is "manly" or not.

the most ripped guy at my gym is...i would say around 2 alarm flaming.:ninja:

i eat yogurt every day. i occasionally eat soy based "meat" products. not sure how either of these make me more or less manly. i avoid peaches because.... i don't like peaches. :/

though i did have some peach flavored sake that was fantastic.

I see you still fail at reading comprehension because I wasn't asking for you or anyone to explain manliness to me.

I guess stupidity is considered manly huh lol.

 

[Captante]

They're attempting to compensate for something.

 

[norseamd]

beards

Que?

Keeping a beard is just a weak man compensating?
