You like it when men are manly?
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 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.

The Bible tells you so.
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.
It is always better to look good than to feel good. Take it from me..I look mahvelous!!!
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!
Works for me.
win win win
my hair looks better when its dirty anyway wgaf
I just shave my head. Saves money.
I lost a bet when Indy lost the Super Bowl and had to shave my head. It's not a bad look. And I didn't have to pay for a hair cut.
I don't use any hair products, but I don't like my hair to look ty either.
Dude they need to give us a subforum here dedicated to discovering the iden ies of the two girls kissing in your sig.
I want to direct the sequel.
That's great
+ ing 1 on this thread. Don't forget about those s that think they look cool driving a Beamer, like it's a chick magnet or something.
It is as long as they bought it and not their daddy.
I mean it's a decent car. But can any of them say they got something like this with theirs?
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...
wtf happened to nick cage
If girls didn't care then guys wouldn't care. It's all to impress the modern generation female. They don't like the hairy chest non product soaked hair type anymore...unfortunately
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 cir stances I have to face in life, but empathy of someone else's gets me there. I think at ude--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 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 ? 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 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.
