So can someone please tell me what defines a man in today's society?

IMO, guys who spend waaaay too much time on the computer aren't real men. When was the last time you killed something? So I guess that would exclude 99% of us.

:disgust:

This is really not meant to offend some 80% of anandtech but you have to reach the age of 26 (at least a few years out of college) or higher to be a man. Have to know how to provide for yourself for many years and make good/difficult decisions for the good of others as well as taking care of others.

Sure you can do that much earlier in life, but its rare.

Age doesn't equal manhood. There are plenty of males that are old but have 0 responsibility.

But the conservatives who have spent millions invading a country that didn't need to be invaded, putting our men and women in harm's way, increasing our budget deficit to a level not seen since Reagan's administration and outsourcing our jobs to foreign countries are NOT destroying this nation ???

The actual homosexuality doesn't really bother me. It's not my thing, so it never even comes into the picture.

What does bother me is the culture that seems to have become the "Accepted" gay culture. I find it repulsive. If a dude plays football, dresses like a man and acts like a manly man but admits he's gay, that doesn't really bother me since I don't bother to know that side of a guy anyway. But when you get a guy who wears fruity clothes, acts like a woman, is effeminate, and has the typical vocal opinionated, left wing attitude, that's where the problem is.

You mean, that's where YOUR problem is. The problem lies with you, and your decision to be offended or disgusted at the way OTHER PEOPLE dress and behave.

True, but until you've been truly on your own and cared and took the responsibility for others you're still a boy. You bring up the military...that will turn a boy into a man real qucik.

Hey, it's not my problem. I'm not the one going on pride parades and marches trying to get the world to accept my behavior.

And putting a smiley face at the end of every post doesn't make you seem any less of an anal twit

^See? Didn't work.

Let's please drop those lines of thinking pretty, pretty please? We were having a semi-intelligent debate.

Vets have fought for the rights of gays, minorities and even metrosexuals. I'm not saying that I'm a metro but people should dress the way that they see fit without ridicule. Hey China is wide open buddy. You can go there and live your life under commie rule and you can live under one rule. Or you can live in Amerca and appreciate people for who they are and maybe you'll learn a thing or two.

 

[rickn]

so a metrosexual is a latent homosexual? some of them smell aweful purty

 

[tec699]

I like to dress nice but I'll also fight like a dog if I have to!

 

[91TTZ]

Just as you wimpy-men don't want me trying to tell you what a man is supposed to be like, I don't want you trying to tell me what a man is supposed to be like. You get offended when I say that a man is supposed to act like a man and not an effiminate metro, but then you expect the world to accept your view that a man can dress like an emasculated creampuff and still be considered a man. It doesn't work that way. Each individual does their own judging and thinks what they want. You can dress like that if you want, just don't complain when most people scoff at you. It isn't my fault, it's yours. I didn't tell them what to think.

 

[spidey07]

Tec,

No offense dude, but Grow UP.

Become part of the machine like we all did, just like every college kid who thought they knew everything and then got "real world"ed.

I felt the same way once.....everybody should be super free and do what they want!!!!

But then reality set in and you are judged by your apperance. Your very future will be determined by how you look.

I remember my first job in the "real world" and was told that I could no longer wear my earring (circa 1993) and thought it was such an outrage. HOW DARE SOCIETY TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T DO/WEAR.

But it does. Just trust me guys, we all laugh at guys who dress/act like this. You can almost smell them a mile away...I'm fresh out of college full of dreams of how wonderful the world is supposed to be. And then BAM! Out of the sheltered world society tells you what it wants.

And in the case at hand, what women really want.

First of all, you did say that you're a metro. You made a post about it a couple weeks ago.

Secondly, we live in a democracy, not a communist nation. Why should I move to a communist nation when I can live here and vote? Luckily on this issue, the majority sees things my way. If anyone should leave because they don't like it, it's you. After all, you're the one complaining about the views held by the majority.

What exactly do women want? Tell me oh so powerful computer geek. You know the pulse of the American woman, right? Their just knocking on your door right now right? "Oh Spidey!! Oh... Oh.. let us in!"

Women want a man whose makup drawer is filled with more stuff than theirs. They want a man whose shoe collection puts hers to shame. They want a man who can dance to Grease and cry when watching Seabiscuit. They want a man who refuses to do yardwork and would rather be an interior decorator.

This is hairy as a monkey?

You've got to admit, this is pretty close to monkey status.

So what's the view of the majority? That I have a uncle whose a multi millionaire and I can laugh at people like you? That my parents are successful and live in a communtiy that supports million dollar homes?

You couldn't afford to live where I live son. Where I live people drive $60,000+ cars. Where I live people have college degrees and own businesses. Where I live people are multimillionaires. It's called being jealous and envious. You see a male that looks good and you automatically think "i love you!" and then you see his girl and the car he drives. You become jealous because you know that you'll never in your lifetime achieve his success.

btw, my unlce's looking at the new $90k Mercedes. You can afford one of those, right?

Lol, the problem is you flinging insults at any guy who doesn't meet your requirements for masculinity. Your behavior is absurd.

That made absolutely no sense.

Notice how all the rich people you mentioned were other people and not YOU. It's easy to brag about other people when you don't have to back it up yourself.

 

[tec699]

The so-called "majority" are people that have boring $30k jobs and fat wives! That's the majority and THANK GOD I don't subscribe to what the majority deems approprite in boring America. If I EVER settle for a boring $30-40k job I'll take my own life.
