I live with one of those 'metrosexual' types. Can't recall how many time I have told him to grow a pair. His GF, who is a friend of mine, talked about leaving him and I had to turn up the music to drown out his blubbering. Last time I heard a man cry like that..... Hmm... I think it was in some chick flick.

I used to describe my job as throwing TVs around.
I kill bugs and spiders with bare hands.
I mow the lawn in shorts and sandels, no socks, (standard push motorized push mower, not a 'walk-behind' with self drive) while drinking a beer or three.
My dog is a wolf hybrid.
My car... well, got wrapped around a power pole because some mangina didn't know how to turn his highbeams off, which the police cited him for when they arrived.

Manly men don't hang out in town centres at weekends. Those places are centres of consumerism and shallowness.

Manly men go hunting in the wilderness, chopping down trees and customising their chainsaws. Sometimes manly men put N.Os. switches on their tractors and magnetise their camcorders to the fuel tanks of their motobikes so you can see how many RPM's and MPH they're doing so they can put it on youtube and be illegal.

At least, those are they reasons that I don't wear cardigans and hang out in the town centre....

Me an my friends talk about bewbs all the time!And,i dont wear cardiagns and i cant spear wil pigs with my hair.I shoot em up.

I'm Canadian, so that's an automatic man-card

There's nothing manlier than a plaid-wearing, toque-capped Canadian fist fighting a grizzly and punting a beaver while riding upon a moose as he taps for maple syrup from a tree he's just about to cut down with his man-axe. All in the midst of a raging blizzard.



As for specific things I've done? The manliest thing would probably be my buddies and I getting just pissed on whiskey, and then having contests to see who can take the most gut-punches without yakking everywhere

That or going camping with nothing but 2 .308's and a 12-gauge, some bottled water, and a pack of matches.

I'm such a man, that this is a picture of me with my dentist. She doesn't believe in anesthetics!

Navy recruiter?

You know what they say about the Navy: 300 Men go out on a ship and 150 couples come back!

Just kidding, Navy guys. Some of my best buds are squids. I just don't turn my back on them!

That's subs fella, get it right.

I'm so manly I ate a bowl of nails for breakfast.

This thread needs more bear-punching.

Observe.

*Punches a passing bear and is mauled*

That's right. I'm so manly, I quote myself.

Bear punching? How about bear blasting!

It's perfect for when you're too energetic for regular sports!

I'm gay as a rainbow and I can't stand them either, seriously dudes grow a pair.



my preffered candy

But spiders are our friends!

I have a scorpion as a pet?

It was a giant fake fly, put on the barbeque as a practical joke. I thought it was some freakass thing from South American, was afraid I'd miss with a stick. The evil doing party did a double take when I came out with the Ruger, and had to stop me.

Yes, in addition to suspending myself three times, proving in court that playing 40K doesn't make you a freak, just a dork, I've also almost shot a fake bug with a real gun.

I squashed a roach with my sandal- while it was on the ceiling.

Getting it cleaned up was much harder and involved a ladder.

Manly men fear wifely wrath above all else.

Did you actually suspend yourself or do people just circulate these stories for the hell of it?

No, Manly men tell their wives that they're in need of a beer, and that they aren't getting any younger.

At least, I do this. Most of the time it doesn't work, but she's learned to stop trying to hit me on account of I retaliate by tickling her until her eyes water.

He did suspend himself.

Ponder on that.

Yep

He suspends himself quite often. He's into that sort of thing

Cannerus_The_Unbearable wrote:He suspends himself quite often. He's into that sort of thing

true that . Fortunately killer attack weiner dogs are still, well, weiner dogs. Even though TBone will tear you apart with almost 4 ounces of vicelike bite pressure when he's awake, he is less that six inches tall at the shoulder. You don't have to supend yourself more than a foot off the ground to be safe.

ahaha!!! when god gives you lemons you FIND A NEW GOD!!!!


I have a beard, I grill outside 3-4 days a week, I have massive chest hair, and I dress like a man....with pelts and bones.

So what is the verdict? Are the OP's femmeboys a new and increasing thing, or are they just today's version of a perpetual subclass?

Everyone always seems to feel as if the phenomenon is on the increase, and I was tempted to agree, but then I thought of the 80s and the big hair, eye makeup, tight jeans rocker guys, who were sorta aggro and femme at the same time. Seems like dudes in girl clothes has been around for a while.

Keep in mind that "manly" is relative.

When i was a youth wearing DMs got you harassed, hazed and pummeled by the majority jocks/stoners/red necks who felt that only queers wear "f-a-g boots".
I know because I wore them, and the group of "devil worshipper weirdos" (according to those in our town mind you) I hung out with led a miserable existence in our tiny "normal" sh!thole town.

Besides in the 70s you had glam.

The eighties had New Wave.

The ninties had goths

And now we have emo

Every generation has some form of what you describe.

And every generation has it's "fancy boys" who realize that such scenes offer a pool of girls that will be attracted to any boy who "buys in". Hell I wore some ridiculous clothes in my youth purely for this reason (and sadly a few pics are floating around to prove it), and most of you did as well, or your lying about it...

Well it was Gloucester, so what did you expect!

So are the French, and you don't see anyone making fun of... er, never mind.

I have sliced the end of my thumb off with a table saw, had three concusions, broke my nose twice, broke my thumb, had over a hundred stitches, and hurt myself with tons of non electric power tools and didnt cry at any point while having this type of pain inflicted upon myself!

I've been drinking for 12 straight days. Seriously.

Plus, I own a shed.






Am I doing it right?

Just possibly, yes.

This thread is rather funny.

I mean, in the context of where it is taking place, especially!

Yeah us!
