The newest threat to man is not terrorism, biological warfare, or lack of flu vaccine. It is the false assumption that men and women differ solely in their plumbing. Caused by workplace gender equilibrium a new “sensitive” man, a.k.a. the metro-sexual, has been born. While some may say that it’s good for men to show their more feminine side, a line must be drawn immediately as to how far our society pushes this ideal. A simple Google search for “male makeup” reveals that it may already be too late. That’s right, there are already people profiting on the sale and distribution of makeup for men. One of the largest companies 4VOO in cooperation with websites like egentlemen.com broadcast the idea that men should wear makeup. They project that men are just as self conscious as women and that in time they will learn to accept themselves. From “face and body bronzer” to “lash and brow styling glaze” to “luminous lips,” these companies are indoctrinating men to believe that this is what they need to be attractive. Recently 4VOO introduced a line called “confidence corrector” and slapped the slogan “distinct men have the attitude” to their product line. What the #@$% is happening to our country and our society? This is utterly wrong. Men and women are different creatures that are hardwired quite differently. Imagine me spending the night at my best friend’s house only to find him applying makeup to a scratch he got mountain biking yesterday, so that he will look aesthetically appealing. What ever happened to chicks dig scars? Something must be done to stop this misconception before my school board is voting on whether guys can wear makeup at school, instead of just earrings and facial hair.
When I need to "get in touch with my feminine side", I grab my wife.
IT's the botox, Dan. "Courage!"
Being that he is a Member in Good Standing of the MSM, you are probably correct.
WOW! Every evening when I watch him on TV, his eyebrows have always been arched extremely high. Guess he’s just really concerned!
Proud Retrosexual Male bump!
OK, big is alright, but not hairy & smelly! I like clean-shaven and nice-smelling. Sweaty is OK, if I'm the one who got them all hot and bothered! (dang, I can't believe I'm saying this!)
LOL

Puffy, shirt, jolly roger hat, the works, baby!
I really don't know much about him. I watch FOX News.
I'm medium sized, and my hair is retreating, but I think I'm still in the race with "smelly."
JERRY: Hey. Look at you. Wha... what's this?
KRAMER: It's an eyepatch.
JERRY: You look like a pirate.
KRAMER: I wanna be a pirate.
So do I – but I like to keep track of what the MSM (with the exception of SeeBS News) is saying. I do keep my filter on high.
