Even women like that get on my nerves. Lipstick and other cheese like chemicals are a major turn off for me.

I don't know, people do that for social fitting. It reminds me of the peacock trying to wheel his colorful tail. It is such an overbearing self-media, it stinks and suffocates. Narcissism does kill.

These "men" need a good ass-kickin'. Our country would last 5 minutes in the hands of these pansies.

Our species is not long for survival. I am glad my father is not around to see this. Coming from a warrior culture I am sad at what is happening in this country. It happene3d to the Romans as well. Every empire has it's days.

In the end however, the rules of Darwin apply and faggots are simply not the winners in the state of nature. I long for the days when dueling was legal and men were those who survived past their 21st birthday.

I think dueling is still legal in Argentina, unless those left wing socialists (Peronists) changed the laws since I left. Of course, it hasn't done much for the country, but at least men don't carry purses :-).

In short, I believe in being presentable each and every day.

Yes, well, it depends why. To be ready for any job offer out there is important. Hygiene is important. Snagless clean and shiny matching dressing is important, to emphasis a competition in grace, and not just in roughness. However these aspects are not just about appearances, but can originate for some from deep seated discipline and debt payment to G_d.

As for being concerned with appearances, I dunno. Social "castration" and shunning does occur when one has not "proper" appearances. However that castrate the individual as source a media and serves only to pay debts to the surrounding impersonal nameless media.

Go around one day in the streets amongst bums and you will discover that:

1. you will have lot's in common with them in fact
2. you can sin just as much as they do, we all have left the Garden of Eden after all.
3. Their social castration brings blessings to them and prevent some of the rot we see occuring in well kept high class social environments, which tend to try to hide the rot behind appearances and thus moraly gangrening the insides.
4. We are all consumers and appearances can be deceiving.

Certainly as a Piano Man, I have to watch it with this stuff.

So my ways of being manly are: 1) I don't even own a comb, as girls who stay over can attest 2) I kick butt at kung fu 3) I eat tons of red meat and other carnage, and drink much Guinness and 4) I'm a Registered Republican Super-Hawk

Maybe that suffices to nudge me over the 50 yard line.

Yep, that's the bottom line: treason.

There are times when one cannot accept a price limit for victory. Losing liberty is ultimate disaster and nothing is too expensive to prevent that. However these pansies seem to put a big price tag on themselves and to make themselves unavailable or antithetical to the need to sometimes pick up trash, shed some blood and do the dirty work.

I know a few guys like this, but they aren't gay by any stretch.

These guys were genuine Texas hicks, one guy came to his job interview wearing a NASCAR t-shirt, he even had a mullet at one point.

that was 5 years ago, since then he married a woman from Chicago and she doesn't let him out of the house unless he looks like a male model.

you can just see the hillbilly trying to break out of him,

***Some women seem to buy it. Alycia Oaklander, a 29-year-old fashion publicist from Manhattan, fell for John Kilpatrick, a Washington Redskins season ticket holder who loves Budweiser and grilling hot dogs, in part because of his passion for shopping and women's fashion shows. On their first dates, Mr. Kilpatrick brought Champagne, cooked elaborate meals and talked the talk about Ms. Oaklander's shoes. They were married yesterday.***

I thought the NY Times writers were now forbidden to make up things. I wonder if this writer's editor insisted on proof that these people even exist.

Somethin' ain't right about that.

Sure enough! I don't think we would have N v. S today though. I probably have more in common with an upstate New Yawka or Western PA man than a "city boy" in Atlanta or Jax. All those pretty boys in the city haven't figured out that clothes don't make the man.

I guess the difference in the guy from this article and Patrick Bateman would be the fact that Bateman seemed to hold women in disdain, and viewed them as objects that were there only for his amusement. The guy in this article apparently likes to shop and pal around with the girls.
