The first sign of a "pussified" male is if he is wearing pink. Guys who wear pink have issues.

I think that many American & Euro males have lost any semblance of what manhood involves. Look at the proliferation of the homosexuals. Then, during the terrorist strike of the Taj Mahal Hotel, two men "snuck" out while being forced upstairs. Why didn't those cowards look out for the women ?? (Of course, they were English) ::) No, instead, THEY snuck out and ran like a couple of pussies. The we have "men" that just don't have any balls any more, thanks to our Leftist Teachers. ****in' boys can't even be boys any more. Throw an eight year old back some 40 years and they would be called "sissies", "wimps" and all other sorts of effeminate names.

That they never progressed past the 1980's in terms of fashion.

Sorry, but I'll never become a metrosexual.  I believe in hygiene, but not primping.

--I do not tweeze my eyebrows, and as such, look much like Brezhnev.
--I put shampoo in my hair, not "product".  I do not have sufficient hair to justify conditioner.
--I go to a barber and pay $9 for a haircut, not a stylist who charges $50.
--I do not get manicures or pedicures.  I use nail trimmers, or if particularly stubborn, pliers.
--I do not use body sprays or washes.  These are not sufficient to remove dirt, grease, and God only knows what else I came in contact with that day.  Soap works, or Goop.  Sometimes, Lava soap is necessary.
--I do not need a floor length coat every time the temperature outside drops below 40 degrees.  Usually, a sweatshirt is sufficient, and sometimes that comes off because I'm breaking a sweat from WORKING.  Heavy coats become necessary when temperatures are expressed in single syllables or wind chills begin with the word "Minus" or "Negative" or end with "Below".
--I do use moisturizer lotion in the winter, because when there is NO moisture in the house and it's a bit raw outside, keeping from bleeding from chapped skin isn't sissy, it sucks.

Case in point--I do take my car to the local Jiffy Lube to do oil changes, only because it's faster and more convenient.  I saw an issue of GQ on the shelf featuring the "Maine Man".  Out of curiosity, I went to the first page where the wee-bit too old to be an Abercrombie model was sitting in a rustic setting on the back of a boat wearing (and I found this online, I'll post the link later:)

$1700 for a jacket.  Oh, HELL NO! 
$200 for a sweatshirt?  Are you out of your ****ing minds?

Sorry, but I'll never become a metrosexual.  I believe in hygiene, but not primping.

Primping consists of brushing my hair.....if I'm not wearing a cap or hat.

--I do not tweeze my eyebrows, and as such, look much like Brezhnev.

What eyebrows...got 6 hairs on one side and 7 on the other.

--I put shampoo in my hair, not "product".  I do not have sufficient hair to justify conditioner.

Ivory soap.....it's good enough for the hair on my a$$....head hair is similar.


--I go to a barber and pay $9 for a haircut, not a stylist who charges $50.

Same here.....I must be paying to much.

--I do not get manicures or pedicures.  I use nail trimmers, or if particularly stubborn, pliers.

I thought that's what pocket knives were for?

--I do not use body sprays or washes.  These are not sufficient to remove dirt, grease, and God only knows what else I came in contact with that day.  Soap works, or Goop.  Sometimes, Lava soap is necessary.

A pre-soak in diesel fuel helps if you're in a hurry.

--I do not need a floor length coat every time the temperature outside drops below 40 degrees.  Usually, a sweatshirt is sufficient, and sometimes that comes off because I'm breaking a sweat from WORKING.  Heavy coats become necessary when temperatures are expressed in single syllables or wind chills begin with the word "Minus" or "Negative" or end with "Below".

40 degrees outside...hell that's the inside temperture in this "*" economy.....enjoy it while you can.......Obama's coming, you know.
 
--I do use moisturizer lotion in the winter, because when there is NO moisture in the house and it's a bit raw outside, keeping from bleeding from chapped skin isn't sissy, it sucks.

Udder Creme is good for body flaking....and may be tax deductable if you own a farm.

I do the Jiffy Lube things too.

$1700 for a jacket.  Oh, HELL NO!

My mother would come back from her grave just to kick my ass for that.  
$200 for a sweatshirt?  Are you out of your ******* minds?

I would think so.

I know people who haven't spent that much on clothing IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.  I asked the guy who had just finished working on my car if he had seen this article and when I showed him metrosexual number one, we both got a good laugh out of it as we shook our heads.

Yeah...I'd shake my head too.....but I wouldn't shake the models hand.

I found a barber that only charges $6 for a haircut. It ain't a real nice place, but they do the job.

I use a pair of dykes to trim my fingernails... (no, that's NOT a sexually oriented reference!!)

I did buy one long coat when I was up in MN. I spent WAY too much on it, but it'll last me the rest of my life.

I think the Governator is partially responsible for this "metrosexual" bullshit.

(Mrs. E had to explain "metrosexual" to me a couple of years ago. I was appalled. WTF is it with guys who wear scarves INDOORS?)

Actually, this is a trend that is characteristic of the times. A lotta guys just don't do the kind of work that most men have done in the past. Let's consider these questions:

1.  How many guys in Manhattan have mixed a wheelbarrow of concrete EVER?
2.  How many guys in Miami have actually dug a post hole? Properly? And not fallen in it?
3.  How many guys in Duluth have rotated a set of tires? Without a lift? And an impact tool?

Most importantly, gents:

When was the last time you opened the car door for your lady?

It's not for swimmers so much as divers and surfers.

I know that some swimmers do it to gain the tiny fraction of a second better time.  But anyone who wears a wetsuit has a more practical reason - it's a pain in the ass (and the legs, and the chest, and the arms...) to put on a wetsuit when you've got a substantial amount of body hair.

Plus, when it comes to wetsuits, shaving is most certainly not the most sissified method of making things easier.  There are some guys, or so I've been told, who wear pantyhose under their wetsuits to escape the leg-hair problem.

As for me, I just deal with it - ain't that bad, and I don't dive very often at all anymore.  But I don't begrudge anyone who wants to make slipping into their wetsuit easier - especially if they're rescue divers or something like that.

And it's Johnson's baby shampoo on the head and unscented deodorant in the pits.

That's it, though. No cologne, conditioner, Nair, after shave. Lotion only when my hands threaten to quit on me they're chapped so bad, and in the winter, some Chapstick on the chops.

Gotta protect the chops.

The occasional bottle of Head and Shoulders (otherwise Pert Plus) and some Lever 2000 soap or body wash.  I confess, in a moment of weakness I did buy a bar of Tom's of Maine soap once.  Meh--whateva.  I think I have a bottle of cologne around somewhere.  Maybe.  I might have even used it once.  If I hadn't lost it way back when about 10 years ago, I'd probably still have 3/4 of a bottle of Drakar Noir.

I run a trucking company and do a fair amount of driving myself.  The only hair that gets shaved is on my face and I have never had my hair cut anywhere but a barber shop.  I'm not likely to wear a winter coat unless it hits single digits.

The one concession I have made is liquid body wash, and that's mostly because of the recent advent of the hair and body wash in one bottle you can get these days.  When you have to pack a small toiletry bag to take into the truck stop showers, the fewer containers in that bag the better.

--I do not get manicures or pedicures.  I use nail trimmers, or if particularly stubborn, pliers.Yep, diaganol pliers will cut the toughest nails!

I know people who haven't spent that much on clothing IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.  I asked the guy who had just finished working on my car if he had seen this article and when I showed him metrosexual number one, we both got a good laugh out of it as we shook our heads.

Oh, and for those curious...LINK (http://men.style.com/gq/features/landing?id=content_7487)

I felt compelled to write on this because living near Maine, as I do, more than a few of us follow similar habits.

Does that mean I come out looking/smelling/talking like a caveman?  Hardly.  Just making the point that one CAN retain one's masculinity without being a total primitive.  Then again, if I went to NYC, etc., I'd probably be regarded as such.  Their loss.

And another thing....
What the hell is up with all the men who shave thier legs!!!!  :wtf2:

Men shaving their legs??????!!!!! You're puttin' us on, right?

Why do Army guys use shower gel??

It takes longer to pick up from the shower......



Yeah, those that use their mouths to blow "things"......   :o


:bolt:

The squid has thrown down the gauntlet. Fair enough.  :evillaugh:

First of all, this Army guy hasn't even been in an Army shower room where all those evil soap-wielders just lie in wait since - oh yeah! Since I started using the stuff!

Now, let's look at airedales. Where do those guys work? You betcha - on aircraft carriers, right? (And other places, of course.) And I'll betcha even more that airedales' only opportunity to even get a shower is with - yep, you got it - with other airedales! (Funny how that works on board ship.)

And while the squid starts talking about "blowing" things, let's not forget that he himself is a horn honker. Remember that self-admission, you ol' band geek?

Rob, I'm startin' to worry about you! All this talk about "blowing!" You gotta get your mind outta the Navy head! (There's a reason they call it the "head," btw......)

My wife tries to make me a bit more "socially acceptable" all the time.

**** that.

If you don't like me in Levi 501's...too bad.

I shaved.....what...2 days ago? I think.

I took a shower, be glad.

Yes I do like to hang out around a campfire, swear like a sailor and drink. Get used to it.

Pink? WTF!!!!!!!  :hammer:

Tee shirts are AP wear.

Chainsaws are awesome. So are backpack leaf blowers. Mine's so loud I have to wear earplugs.

I enjoy killing animals and then eating them by a campfire with a beer or 2 or 3......

Whats "shower gel"?

Concrete is my play doh.

I spent over 60 bucks on my last 2 pair of 501's. Thank God it was a gift cert.

Yes, I change my own oil.

I had a girl tell me on a date that she was a feminist.  Funny, she didn't like paying for the date. 

It was the last dae I had with her.  She must have been one of those feminists that expects you to pay her way anyway.

Body Gel ?

Shampoo ?

WTF ?

I use "real" soap for everything. Shaving , hairwashing , body cleaning. Real soap is the hard yellow stuff that's about $0.20 per lump and can take the skin off if you ain't careful.

Haircut is $15 only because I don't entirely trust my ability to use clippers and a #2 attachment on my own head.

No part of the male body should be shaved/plucked/waxed south of the neck.

"Lava" hand soap does a damn fine job of that.

Try having to use lacquer thinner to wash your hands and arms at least once a month.  It finds every little scratch and cut.

Most non-brainwashed women prefer men and most non-brainwashed men prefer women.

And it's not just a case of pussified males but mannish women.

Men probably become pussified when they are horny and can't find any women who like being women and becoming gay is still disgusting to them so in order to get sex they allow themselves to be pussified, which, it could be argued that if they allowed themselves to become pussified, they probably had a genetic disposition to it in the first place and if they are having sex with women with an unpleasant  enough disposition they will probably eventually just decide to be gay.

There is a principle in metaphysics called Law of Polarity and in sexual relationships there has to be enough difference between the sexual polarity to cause that spark which makes sexual relations so enjoyable. This is why I do think it is valid to say that men started to become pussified when the so-called Women's Movement became overly masculine.  But it was a mistake caused by operating on the unconscious level.  For men, just consciously be a man and you'll attract a woman. For women, just consciously be a woman and you'll attract a man.

All these social messes come down to people have little clue on how to think.  The first step to thinking is to define what is wanted.  When what is wanted is either undefined or is not a concern, then anything can turn up.

I think some of the wussification is starting at very young ages for boys these days. Parents being over protective of their children, and no longer letting "boys be boys", and schools stopping any games/sports at recess that might cause injury, and playgrounds being redone so as to be boring for kids, have all contributed.

Gotta tell this story about how stupid things have gotten to be vis a vis kids.

I happened to be in a small room in a church that, during business hours, is used as a place to change diapers on babies. (To answer the inevitable question, I was practicing my bass trombone in that room. There were NO stinky diapers, there were NO kids, there were NO caretakers. I was alone with my axe and my music.)

Anyway, I happened to look up on the wall and, taped to the wall was a document that was entitled: "How to Change a Diaper" or some such silly-assed shit.

Being repulsed, but otherwise curious (sorta like rubbernecking at an auto accident), I read further.

Part of this procedure actually required the caretaker to inform the kid that his/her diaper was going to be changed. As though to ask permission or some stupid-assed thing.

WTF? You have to TELL an infant that you're gonna change their shitty diaper????

Unbelievable as to the amount of coddling that goes on.

Levis??????
Made by a SAN FRANCISCO company that coddles homos.

Real men wear Wranglers. They last longer anyway.

Levis USED to be a good, quality product. I that all changed when they closed down the US plants. There USED to be a Levis factory right here in Denison, Tx.
