View Full Version : Modern generation of males

I saw this commercial for male hair care the other day, and it reminds me of all the metrosexumuals like zac effron, poster boys for today's emasculated male.

Why is the current male accepting this... FEMININE lifestyle? Men are not supposed to be pretty! We are not supposed to act like women!

For instance, we shouldn't LIKE to shop, we are supposed to just get what works. Need some everyday casual, outdoor clothes? Blue jeans, work boots. Done. I'm out of here, leaving the store. That is why the men's department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door, so we can go in, go out. What is wrong with these guys spending all this time mixing and matching colors, looking at themselves in the mirror??

and hair care! I am shocked at this nowadays. You have men who spend the same amount of time on their hair as some women do. I bet you could go to their bathrooms, and you would see a carefully lined up large array of beauty products. All you need is shampoo, lots of soap, a wash rag, and a comb. Although, if you are like me, you run your hand through your hair and let nature blow dry it.


I don't know what the hell is up with these men nowadays, but it's not manly.

Guys nowadays spend a small fortune on cosmetic products. Back where I grew up, we would have been worried about being called “gay” if we used fake tan and styled and moussed up our hair in front of the mirror, but that has changed now.

At the risk of sounding like a Grumpy Old Man, I do find this trend pretty reprehensible.

And I find the idea of rigidly defined and heavily policed gender roles pretty reprehensible.

The super metro/emo look isn't really my cup of tea, but it doesn't bother me if guys want to use hair products and look in mirrors. Neither you nor I have to date guys like that if we're not interested.

Yea, man, the accessorization of the male species has been slowly taking over since this century began. It's so when NWO comes into power, men will be so weak and fragile that they won't fight back. We will be too worried about hair product, skin moisturizer, pedicures/manicures -- women will eventually take over fighting armed conflicts for us.

Book it! :downspin:

It used to be that hair coloring was the exclusive domain of women. Then older men started coloring their hair, and then the punk guys started seriously coloring their hair, and now men bleach some of their hair...

Ear rings used to be the domain of women and seafarers. Then celebrity males would wear ear rings, and the masses followed suit.

Same goes for long hair...

Men do it in large part because they want to get laid. Many women find men who 'keep nice' attractive.

And me, I haven't shaved or gotten a hair cut in 9 months... ;) I am so lumberjack right now...

I never quite understood what it meant to be "a guy." The social expectations escape me. Believe me, I tried when I was younger. I fought and indulged certain media and behavior I thought I was supposed to exhibit. I experimented with facials and I moisturized. I've never been given a manicure, unless delivered by a girl I was sleeping with. I shave my head because I can't rectify the bald spot forming and BoRics finally priced me out of a haircut. In short, I don't care what the top of my head looks like--get over it.

I am, by all accounts, a slob. I like porn. I like to read literature and philosophy, no poetry. I like to watch the news so that I know what's going on in the world. I like to watch basketball (this includes women's basketball), but football (simulated warfare) and hockey (just too violent) and NASCAR (pointless and dangerous) and professional wrestling (stupid) are on my never-to-do list. I don't like them because I don't want to see a person carted away from the playing surface on a regular basis, muttering things like "just a part of the sport." It's just a game. Have some respect for yourself.

I like to volunteer. I like to work-out. I like cats, but not dogs. I like to go for walks. I like people to know themselves, to be themselves, and share whatever it is that is on their mind. Bonus points if it makes me think. I will express my emotions. I don't attend church or subscribe to any religion. I still miss my dad. I usually can't cry over any circumstances I have to face in life, but empathy of someone else's gets me there. I think attitude--the badass, want to kick everyone's ass, I'm hard--yeah, I see a scared human being when I see that. I see someone who needs to prove something...to everyone. It's like watching a heroin addict shoot up--it just makes me pity them, especially when they say memorable lines like "I ain't no punk." The hole is never full; they have to prove to as many people as they can that they are a man. He could beat the shit out of me, I still see a scared human being. Be rationale. Be secure in who you are. You don't have to prove a damn thing.

I'd much rather watch something with realistic, intelligent dialouge, rich themes, and good characters than popping on something with special effects or a romantic movie for the sake of it. I can watch "The Holiday" and enjoy it as much as JJ Abrams "Star Trek." I like my music to make sense. I want it to go somewhere, to make me think, to be organic so I can appreciate the musicians, and I want it to get my heart. I don't play video games because I don't find them interesting. No principle to stand on; just don't like them. I don't curse all that often, but when I do, I'm mad. I vent my anger by screaming and hitting inadament objects.

I wanted to be a writer when I was growing up, but realizing I had no game, I just decided to take something that pays the bills. I have never hated my job or resented the jobs I've had because of that. However, I've never loved my job, either. It also means I don't mind journaling and I don't mind taking my time to come into a place like Spurstalk and editing what I say. It gives me an out-let for something I have great appreciation for--the written word. It is a tool that allows us to pass on what we said, exactly how we said it, even the unintended interpretations of it. The fact that we have this way to share with one another, to deepen our bonds and communicate our needs--it's fantastic.

Do I like sex? Yes. Do I like bragging to my friends about every woman (or man for that matter) that I have ever had sex with? No. Do I want to talk about which celebrities I'd fuck? No. And I don't want to hear about your preferences and experiences either. It's the quickest path to getting me to lose respect for you.

Part of the experience for me is the emotions. If it isn't there, I'll tell the person I'm with. If it's with someone I love, it's not simply the act of sex and it is something shared between the two of us. I don't want to talk about her like she's some bitch that has me by the balls and the only reason I'm around is because she's a good lay. This is someone I love. I wouldn't do that with my family, or my friends, or anyone else in my life. And in this particular instance, I would shout it from the rooftop that I would do anything for her. If I care for you, I'll overlook a lot. And if you want to talk about that, I know how overwhelming it is, and by all means, chew my ear off about what's making you happy.

This "we need yesterday's man" crap is insulting. The human race is supposed to evolve. We only have so much slack in the tension between us, our development, and our instincts, but we do need to think, and not rely upon society to define how we should behave. We should define society by looking for what works best, what is functional.

Masculinity is about so much more than physical appearance and grooming habits. I've been attracted to men who range from "delicate" to extremely rugged. And while I appreciate a little plucking of the unibrow, I can't get into the waxed eyebrows, it just looks odd to me.

These days there's dudes getting facials
Manicured, waxed and botoxed
With deep spray-on tans and creamy lotiony hands
You can't grip a tacklebox

With all of these men lining up to get neutered
Getting out of being feminized
I don't highlight my hair
I've still got a pair
Yeah honey, I'm still a guy

Oh my eyebrows ain't plucked
There's a gun in my truck
Oh thank God, I'm still a guy

Some men are old school, some are new school.

Personally, I would never remove my body hair unless I was in body-building competitions.

I dont have hair to manipulate, so thats out too.

I got a manicure once for my wedding at the behest of my bride (photos, I guess). First and last time.

Shaving is sort of an option, always rockin' the goatee (yes, I realize its "out", but I look 16 without it and having a full beard and a bald head isnt cool).

I dont cook (grill only, anyway), I rarely clean, I dont vocalize my emotional state and I barely give a fuck about "your day". I enjoy silence, reverance and quiet contemplation.

Anyway, I kind of understand what MH is saying. I do question men who spend more than 3 minutes in front of a mirror. If the type of girl youre trying to attract doesnt dig the old school, youre barking up the wrong tree anyway, IMO.

Outdoors, hunting, off-roading, bullshitting, spitting, fighting, cussing and generally making fun of everything and everyone you know and see with no consideration for their feelings or emotional hangups...their problem(s), not mine.

That is why the men's department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door, so we can go in, go out.

That line did make me laugh. Did you steal it from somewhere?

i dont get the point of taking care of yourself besides for work. you have to do the same shit every morning, afternoon and night just to look shiny.

the daily routine is only good for capitalism...

if i didn't have to look good for work, cut my hair, product in it, shirt/slacks/tie/wingtips, shaved and fresh. i probably still would do it.
at least the tie.
ties are fucking awesome.
would probably let my hair go to shit, could give a fuck about it.
so yeah dreads, nikes, and a tie even if it weren't for the "capitalist grind"
had to always play dress-up for work, so now its kinda just in me. when my co-workers see me on a day-off in jeans, cap, nikes, they don't even recognize me, think i'm 12 or some shit.
when i met my wife, it was cause i hired her, so the spiffy look worked, fooled her into thinking i had money. boy did i trick her hot ass..................but yea if you're not the type to dress like that, then just expect to get a girl that looks just as shitty as you.
the best advice i recieved regarding male appearance came my second week of college. at the time i had long dyed hair, chingos de piercing, and dressed accordingly as a stoner. dude about to graduate drunkenly walks up to me and says. "what the fuck are you doing? you're doing it all wrong. sure people might want to have you around if you look different, but if you want to get laid, cut your fucking hair, take that shit out your nose and ears, dress like you got money. if you look like you're better then the girl you're trying to fuck then you'll get her" and then he got picked up by two hot blonds in a bmw, so i took his advice, thats when college became a fuckfest.

but seriously MH why does what another man do bother you?

Need some everyday casual, outdoor clothes? Blue jeans, work boots. Done. I'm out of here, leaving the store.

Everyday casual outdoor clothes are blue jeans and work boots? What kinda freaking redneck are you?

What does that even mean everyday casual outdoor clothes? It's like asking what is good music? Everyone is different and likes different things. Just like I think wearing work boots as "casual" is redneck. I never ever wear boots. I've never owned a pair either.

To each their own. I personally like old, comfortable T-Shirts, sweatpants, jeans, and mesh shorts. I wear tennis shoes as casual. The centerpiece of my wardrobe, the same thing I've had for 9 years, is a gray fleece hoodie.

Masculinity is about so much more than physical appearance and grooming habits. I've been attracted to men who range from "delicate" to extremely rugged. And while I appreciate a little plucking of the unibrow, I can't get into the waxed eyebrows, it just looks odd to me.

A man getting his eyebrows waxed is not a man.

I agree with you there. Except for the hoodie part..I like them but they do get old after a while.

And tennis shoes are what I wear for casual too.

That Brad Paisley song may have set humanity back 50 years. Nice going, Brad.

Actually that song is a pretty good representation of what a man should be.

In it, he sings about a man being a supportive provider (holding her purse), caring/affectionate lover (holding her hand, writing her love songs), and protector (knocking out some dude who copped a feel).

I don't necessarily correlate a man's grooming habits with any of the things listed above, but to each his own.

By the way, Brad Paisley's last two hit songs (Welcome to the Future and American Saturday Night) praise the progress and embrace the cultural diversity of our society. If anything, Paisley's songs have done more to push country music forward than push society backward.

v necks are a sure sign that you like cocks in your rear end.

If a man wants to look like a man, and not a homo while still being stylish, this is what they should look like.

At first I agreed with the OP, but then I realized nothing has changed but the marketing. Before man mousse and all that shit there was Lucky Tiger, pomade, Brillcreme, The Dry Look, Just For Men and the Gipper's favorite, Grecian Formula. On the smell side, we were told Cicotrol, Aqua Velva, Old Spice, musk, English Leather, etc would drive the ladies nuts. And deodorant/antiperspirant has remained a constant.

We're being sold the same crap, but the way they're selling it now seems more of an appeal to masculine insecurity and less to our sense of power, IMO.

That's a pretty caucasian-centric POV. Earrings are extremely prevalent in the black/hiphop culture, even expected and approved of.

As for this thread, I use "products" too..I'm not into the whole metrosexual shit, but there's nothing wrong with looking fresh and taking care of your skin and whatever else..unless you want to spend a lot of time fucking yourself..

It's as gay as it gets. To be honest with you it even looks more hilarious on older men like that idiot on 60 minutes (Ed Bradley, I think). A man of his stature and education wearing a faggoty, homosexual, girly-girl earring.

I am, by all accounts, a slob. I like porn. I like to read literature and philosophy, no poetry. I like to watch the news so that I know what's going on in the world. I like to watch basketball (this includes women's basketball), but football (simulated warfare) and hockey (just too violent) and NASCAR (pointless and dangerous) and professional wrestling (stupid) are on my never-to-do list. I don't like them because I don't want to see a person carted away from the playing surface on a regular basis, muttering things like "just a part of the sport." It's just a game. Have some respect for yourself.

I like to volunteer. I like to work-out. I like cats, but not dogs. I like to go for walks. I like people to know themselves, to be themselves, and share whatever it is that is on their mind. Bonus points if it makes me think. I will express my emotions. I don't attend church or subscribe to any religion. I still miss my dad. I usually can't cry over any circumstances I have to face in life, but empathy of someone else's gets me there. I think attitude--the badass, want to kick everyone's ass, I'm hard--yeah, I see a scared human being when I see that. I see someone who needs to prove something...to everyone. It's like watching a heroin addict shoot up--it just makes me pity them, especially when they say memorable lines like "I ain't no punk." The hole is never full; they have to prove to as many people as they can that they are a man. He could beat the shit out of me, I still see a scared human being. Be rationale. Be secure in who you are. You don't have to prove a damn thing.
