If they were really feminized they'd be ordering Fuzzy Navels.
Yeah, and it used to be discouraged by the "neighborhood socialization committee for masculine norming" -- Bobby, Alan, Freddie, Cline, Derek and Howie.
Great, wunnerful.
Now let's see them stop the 15th SS Panzer Grenadiers.
And then teach a young teenaged girl why she shouldn't sleep around.
thanks to three brands of shampoo and the precise application of three hair grooming products: Textureline Smoothing Serum, got2b styling glue and Suave Rave hairspray.
My hair is fairly long right now. Still, I use one shampoo and a comb. If you spend 3 shampoo brands and the like, I gotta worry boutcha.
"I'm straight as an arrow."
Straight as a bent arrow? Damn. That's not very nice. Oh well.
straight urban men willing, even eager, to embrace their feminine sides.
Bwahahahahahahahha. Cityfolk!
Diesel jeans, interior design, yoga and Mini Coopers, and who would never think of ordering a vodka tonic without specifying Grey Goose or Ketel One.
Granted, I'm almost oblivious to trends, but diesel is a fuel. Interior design isn't for real men unless it covers Turkey beard and deer mounts. Yoga? Prefer Martial arts, and Vodka shouldn't be mixed unless it's a screwdriver. Prefer beer anyway.
America may be on the verge of a metrosexual moment.
Ahh...less competition...
"Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," in which a team of five gay men "transform a style-deficient and culture-deprived straight man from drab to fab,"
Translation - Gay men try and bring others out of the closet!!!.
Unilever's all-over body deodorant for guys.
What the hell happened to old fashion "right guard" and soap?
Men didn't go to shopping malls,
Yer right. My idea of shopping outside of electronics and guns - go in, get what I need, and get the hell out.
while maintaining a manly profile on the pitch.
Huh? When I think of a "man's man", Beckham isn't the one to come to mind. For the Brit's, that's James Bond.
Alan Alda,
Bwahahahahah. That name usually has negative connotations out here.
It makes you stand out."
I can stand out easily without being "homo-lite".
A man who wants Diesel jeans has to be willing to pay $135 a pair.
Shit. I can get top of the line business slacks for 2/3 of that price, and 5-6 pairs of good jeans for that price.
A man who insists on Grey Goose has to get comfortable with paying $14 for a martini.
That's almost the price for 3 pints of Guiness at the bar. LOL.
new-age shaving gels
Gimme the old fashion razor blade and cheap gel, probably for 1/3 of the price. It gets the job done, and I still look better.
battle for babes. Their pitch to women: you're getting the best of both worlds.
LOL. Ladies, when you're in a bad situation, who do you ask for help. $14. Martini Metroman? (lisp)"This desk is too heavy..I can't move it"....
Well, whatever float's your boat.
I wonder if that would fit under my Explorer?
Now I'm sure that this trend is driven by male homosexuals. Anyone who thinks that femininity is about superficial preoccupations like fancy moisturizers and interior design is without a clue.
I think that's gonna be a little bit hard to do that.
Hollywood and news media have done everything to make rednecks look like racist, bigoted, incultured, backward brutes, and there's little if anything that can be done to change that image
They seek him here, they seek him there,
His clothes are loud, but never square.
It will make or break him so he's got to buy the best,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
And when he does his little rounds,
'Round the boutiques of London Town,
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery.
One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes.
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
They seek him here, they seek him there,
In Regent Street and Leicester Square.
Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on,
Each one an dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
His world is built 'round discoteques and parties.
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly.
In matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He was doing fine until he got past this portion. The rest of it indeed sounded gay.
There's nothing wrong with a man being concerned with his appearance. I believe strongly in keeping my hair cut, in ensuring my clothing colors match with all accessories (socks match tie including suspenders if worn, shoe color matches belt color, watch face-color matches shirt underneath the suit, etc.), in shaving daily (even on the weekend), in keeping all my shoes shined with a gloss by hand, and in choosing a different cologne each day.
In short, I believe in being presentable each and every day.
My wife likes this a lot.
You said it. Just like the liberals; changing the name or the term is the first step in normalizing something that should never be normalized..
Funny, my wife and I have a similar arrangement, but she keeps wanting to change my bad habits! I once calculated that I spent about 6% of my own income myself. The rest was passsed on to my beloved, or withdrawn automatically for mortgage and autos, etc. Yet she still has a conniption if I take my shoes off in the living room! Can I get some of my money back?

Would prefer the dame to buy me a Scotch and let me drink it out of HER fuzzy navel.
