    Default manliness question

    ok so there is this hot girl in my grade who im sorta interested.
    but one thing: she is obsessed with the show "Greek."
    so would it be ok to watch an episode or two so ill have a conversation piece with her, or is that too girly-ish?

    manliness question
    Well mine is really big and all the girls start to scream and


    ...wait, some show. Nah, don't watch that crock. Girls don't want guys to talk girlie stuff. They are more attracted to guys smelling of fresh sweat, straight of a football pitch, talking about the game. Bees don't come running to flowers smelling like bees, they need flowers smelling of flowers.


    Edit: unless the show is a big thing for her. You can watch the show and have her share all her excitement about all the events in the show with you, as a sign of interest in what moves her. That's sweet.

    as i said, shes obsessed with it. we dont share many interests, so i thought maybe, if im desperate enough, this was a way to get closer.

    So you have nothing in common, you just want to get into her pants.

    More dog-like than manly, that.

    Notwithstanding, if you have nothing in common your personality will not impress her. So, I suggest flipping car tyres, beating up bullies, that sort of thing.

    Something involving a sledgehammer maybe?

    I had no idea what you were talking about, so I had to look it up. Sheesh. This is what I get for watching so little TV. I don't think this is a question of manliness so much as discretion; if all you might have in common is a sitcom, how do you figure the two of you should be together?

    Take it from a lemur who's been there and done that—taste matters. A lot. A hot girl with terrible aesthetics and bad taste will grate on your nerves before long. Not worth it.

    In all serious, make a deal with her. Watch this show, on condition that she watches one of your favourite shows with you (Obviously, you'll have to pick one that she might like, not "Super Flying Israeli Tank Adventures")

    Come on, Hooah's only eighteen. He doesn't need to marry this girl. He's only trying to get to make out with her. He's a nice guy, we'll assume he takes a shower every day, so what's so wrong about his having a teen crush on some girl. Always, always respect a girl, in every aspect, respect her boundaries, and respect her before and after she told you off. Other than that, it's fair game.


    Does the shiksa(?) know you want to get into her pants? Girls are fascinated by guys who want them. Well, not the wolf-whistling, I'd-hit-on-anything-with-a-skirt type. But all around nice guys who would by any 'objective' standard be a logical match, yes.
    Don't watch some silly show. That's her life already. Offer her something new, something exciting. Drag her into your world, show her a good time, and don't pretend that you do not want to get into her pants. On the contrary, make sure she knows that there is nothing in the whole world you find more attractive, covet more, than her.

    Psi. It probably won't matter one Iota in your potential relationship, but don't throw in the Tau yet. Watch the show. You never know, you might become her Alpha Dog and her Omega Man.

    Thumbs up Re: manliness question

    Hey, it's all cool. A girl made me watch Grey's Anatomy for a while, but the thing is: you have to dispell all hatred of the show while watching. Try to convince your mind that you actually enjoy the damn thing. Try to enjoy the "funny" parts, but don't laugh too loudly. Try a manly chuckle, instead.

    a "shiksa" is a non-jewish girl btw, and shes jewish, so just pointing out...
    she doesnt know i want to get in her pants, or she hides that she knows very well.
    maybe ill try to drag her to band practice or something?
    not a bad idea Louis.

    You openly admitted to watching glee not so long ago, you bear no limits, no problems I don't think.

    Do the ends justify the means? Is the potential prospect of getting in her pants worth the temporary lose of all man hood by watching what looks like the lamest teen drama to be on tv since Dawsons Creek?

    You tell me, you've seen the girl.

    Whoa there! nothing wrong with a bit of Glee. It's a class show. Kind of. Well not really. I just like the bright colours.

    I don't think watching Greek will damage you manliness, it doesn't look like a particularly girly show, just mind numbingly boring. I suppose it will provide incentive you to get your end away quicker so as to break the tedium though.

    I never get the whole men must do "manly" things anyway, half the time when I see it I just think they're over compensating for something else.

    Well, just take her out to a movie then; spend a little money on her. I don't personally condone dating girls just for necking and nooky but if that's what you want, and she's game, then it won't be hard. Either she's up for it, in which case she'll judge you on your looks, or she isn't up for it, in which case no ammount of effort will get you anywhere.

    If you really are just in it for sex, that is.

    Also, Glee is perfectly acceptable evening fare, provided you don't take it seriously.

    Also, you have to have a crush on one of the female cast.
