manliness question

[bobbin]

It's not really that much better in the UK though, is it? Condoms on bananas, 1970s sex education video tapes (who even uses VHS these days?!), awkward talks and even more awkward questions... ¬_¬

Actually my school was pretty good about it, we got a nice little dildo to put the condoms on and we weren't allowed to leave until we'd done it, our video's were from the early 90's (only a slight improvement) and our talks were pretty detailed (did I need to know what anal sex, shirmping or felching was when I was 12? nope, but they told us anyway).

From what I gather though this isn't the norm in britain.

Wow, that's not fair; I had to practice with the real thing.

[jabarto]

dude you gotta hug in america. im talking handshakes everytime you see a friend, legionare clasps (i made those the new rage at my school), hugs for close friends with like a manly double tap, chest bumps on the football field.

americans are touchers.

I'm sorry, what exactly is a legionnaire clasp? Google has failed me.

Not that i disagree with what you're saying. I had a friend in high school who I loved to creep out whenver he was on the computer. I would set my hand on top of the one he used to operate the mouse and give him a sultry look every chance I got. And in case there was any confusion, me giving someone a sultry look is genuinely horrifying.

Only to a straight man, yes.

It's great fun to terrorize people like that.

If it's not working, then make snide comments all the way through watching the program. It's probably not going to work anyway, so you may as well have some fun.

Hey! Play nicely, Subotan! :P

[Subotan]

What? I do the same to my sister when she's watching Glee, if only because she insists on watching it when I'm in the room.

We have another rudie here... xD

It all seems so tame now though, after the Frenchmans filth.

Louis is a gentlemen of great cultural refinement and taste and he just wants to get laid.

See, there's this Spanish girl at the moment but she's very much involved with somebody else but she is so smart and gorgeous and pretty so I can't bear to even consider other women at the moment so I cry myself to sleep every night and dream about her and then I come here and post filth because I'm so frustrated by it all.

[Hooahguy]

How so?

seems like i keep messing up characters names or something.
or maybe thats just an excuse for just not liking me.
anyhow, im moving on.
i hope theres a girl out there whos obsessed with "castle" or "psyche" or "24" or "burn notice" or some other manly show like that.

You watched it? What happened to small talk? Inviting her somewhere, preferably somewhere spontaneous and unexpected? I'll let you off the hook, as you're young and learning the game, but next time.

I know three, one's an Olympian.

Disculpe mi amigo, lo siento que ella tiene un novio. Parece que las mejores chicas siempre lo hacen.

Yeah, it's definetely not the norm from my experience. Our sex ed classes were conflated with some sort of personal development class, and they were taught by whatever one of the PE staff was free. And I've never herd of shirmping of felching?!

[naut]

And I've never herd of shrimping or felching?!

You do not want to know.

grabbing their forearm with your hand they grab your forearm with their hand basically.

the fake homosexual tihng is common i think to all teenage boys, hilarious

......... i hate my computer.

Let's not get any more explicit, please. I'd hate to lock a thread that has brought me so many belly laughs.

Is this also why you are attacking celibate clerics particularly voraciously at the moment? We've all been there; an achingly attractive woman who is infurriatingly unavalalbe. In my case last time she was also living with my closest female friend. This just made it worse, or course.

I word with a girl who hums the Star Wars theme tune, loved BSG, and would play FPS's but for the fact they give her motion sickness; and she's pretty.

[Hooahguy]

come to think of it, i have a lady friend who plays cod4...

[Crazed Rabbit]

Is it manly to watch a girlie show you don't like just to date a girl?

No.

A man doesn't watch a lame television show just to have something to talk about, he goes out and does manly and interesting things and then talks about that.

As for the "greek" system - gah. I met some frat guys in college who only talked about parties and how their hookah machine was a "panty-dropper"* and lauded the guy who scored twice in one night, and gave the guy who got a girlfriend a bunch of grief because then he couldn't just have sex with any girl. I believe some people used the term 'man-whore'. And some sorority girls (there was a meaner nickname for them at my university) mirrored that. I met one who flirted with me, but seemed, well, to not have a lot of intellectual depth. Plus her personality was grating.

Of course I met people who defied those stereotypes, and I'm sure most people in the greek system aren't just stereotypes.
...
Oddly enough, I saw a 'Bimbo' branded truck the other day as I went skiing. If I hadn't read on the Org about them, I really would've been confused.

Ah, and what is really terrible, in terms of 'educational tapes', is one I had to watch in class that looked like a 90s holdover, with a blank whitish background, 20 somethings dressed in pastel colored, no pattern, clothes, speaking eagerly about bodily functions like they were on Barney, and using slang that showed the writers had no idea what they were talking about.

CR
*Who would want to be with someone who put out because of a hookah machine?

Oh yes, totally been there... xD

You should ask her on a date, she sounds right up your street. :3

And she's only a friend? Strictly no-go?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

With respect, I think you're abusing the privilage of being a woman conversing with lonely men.

Although, more seriously, I do wonder if women moon over men in the same painful way men moon over women; or if it is somehow different.

Spoken for, and not quite philosophically compatable.

Nevermind. Currently celibate, remember?

Me? How very dare you! I am gaining a wonderful insight into the male psyche. :>

It is similar in a way, yes. But whereas you might discuss it over a pint down in your local with a few mates, I always end up doing it while wearing pyjamas, curled up watching films and eating alot of snacks with friends. xD

That is a shame, because she seems like a nice girl. :3

Yes, I'm sure you are. I'm also fairly sure you're enjoying charming some of the young men here, with text only no less.

Ah yes, the beer/chocolate divide. How could I forget that? I must be honest though, I think quite a few men are likely to find another woman to pour their heart out to over a cup of tea. Pub talk is rarely so candid, except with your best friends.

Well, the way I look at it, I only need one girlfriend, but I know a lot of women and it's nice to have friends; especially since I find most men somewhat boring. I find women generally more interesting; you seem to form more complex relationships for one thing.
