What Happened to the Real American Man

[they call me MR. GRUMPY god damn it!]

Guys, this is a very serious subject. Why don't you go to the site www.BeARealAmericanMan.com.  Its has some great articles on the subject. I think most of the world views the American Male as a pussy. Lets change that.

hey if he can use the "P" word than i can use the "P" word, next thing you know brian, gunnit, comm lee and the rest will be using the "P" word indiscriminately without any reverence for the power of the "P".  if we don't get a handle on this we might well find ourselves eyeball deep in "P"!  we'll have anarchy i tell your "P"ure anarchy!!!

What do you mean by real men? Would you say all these gay men are real men? Maybe its that all the "real men" you are referring to have come out of the closet. Women are gradually taking over the mans place, the men are even turning into women.

Remember this?


"Real Men Don't Eat Quiche, by Bruce Feirstein, was a bestselling tongue-in-cheek book on stereotypes about masculinity, published in 1982. It is the source of the term quiche-eater, meaning a man who is effeminate or who lacks masculine virtue."

In order for you to have the ability to understand men ...... you have to be one!

If you are not a man.... you will never understand them..consequently

you will not know when you are with one!

Ginopet, not to be rude--maybe you just have a personal male ego issue.  Personally, as a man, I don't give a fuck what people think about me.  Shit.  I'll walk through Texas in high heels.  At least it would show that I got balls, and probably more balls than the men who would line up to kick my ass.

I think one of the weaker flaws in men nowadays is that they feel incompetent, so they try to make up for it by over-acting their sexual stereotypes.  E.G., a "manly man" would probably make fun of gays and say gays should be shot, just to mark his boundaries and let other people know he is DEFINITELY NOT gay.  To me, this is weak.  It's far more manly to just keep your mouth shut and leave other people alone, and let them kiss who they want to kiss.  It's much more humble, even if you truly do hate gays.

Maybe I'm diving too deep into the subject, but I think the male-dominated world is definitely "challenged" nowadays.  Evolution-wise, men are still learning that dominance is not what counts.  It's confidence.

I don't wear high heels.  Don't challenge me, I'm probably crazy enough to do it.  Even in Texas.

ginopet, comm lee seems fond of employing the phrase "oh snap"!  would you provide a manly analysis of the psychological significance?  strikes me as a little teen girly?  i think one of my nieces uses the same expression!  is "oh snap" manly?  what advice would you offer to comm lee in this regard?

As a tribute to Conley, and to bump this most classic thread:
