who said anything about a neanderthal asshole? im talking about the alpha role, which includes females. to be a leader you take the alpha role and make the decisions as you see fit thas best for the group. nature determined that it works best that way, or we wouldnt have that role in the first place.

why do you edit out so many of your comments?

But even he did very little hard work and occasionally wore tight fitting bathing suits.

Beating thugs up and shooting things is an acceptible substitute for manual labor.

how is it an insult that you misread or failed to comprehend a post? its just a mistake that all humans make. its just another trait like selective hearing or not answering a question for whatever reason.

I was responding to the use of "alpha-male" in this:

"You are making excuses why you can't be the alpha-male type. You want to pretend that it's cool to act like a scolded runt, since that's your only option."

I think the person who said that has a conception of alpha males that does = neaderthal a$$holes.

I'm the one that said that, and your guess is incorrect. An alpha males doesn't need to be bothered by the whiny-bitch type of guy, and he doesn't need to act like a neanderthal, either. The scolded-runt type is a lesser man who must use a crutch to compete in life. The alpha type doesn't need to put on an act. People respect him for what he is. When he talks, people listen. Look at Steve Jobs. I'm no Mac fan but look at his effect over people. He's a natural leader. People say he's got a reality distortion field around him for God's sake.

Your inferiority complex is reall showing. I find it funny how when I run into people like you, you always use the same type of reasoning as if it's going to outsmart me. Yet I've seen it before and I know how to handle people like you.

You are making excuses why you can't be the alpha-male type. You want to pretend that it's cool to act like a scolded runt, since that's your only option.

Tip #1 - when you have an inferiority complex, call those who don't have such a complex "insecure", as if to turn the tables on them.

Inferiority is a point of view.
I was only pointing out the obvious, and of course you became defensive. It's natural.
And I am not trying to outsmart you, you sound a bit paranoid.
The Alpha-Type male is no longer necessary.
Thank you for the tip.

what? how do you think any venture in anything becomes successfull? someone takes the alpha role and leads. doesnt necessarily have to be a male, as many women are just as capable as men, but the alpha role is necessary none the less.

An Alpha role may be necessary, but you weren't talking about business when you said,
You are making excuses why you can't be the alpha-male type. You want to pretend that it's cool to act like a scolded runt, since that's your only option.


as pointed out, i didnt originallly say that. but the sentiment in my post still stands. any venture, not just business, requires someone to take the alpha role. be it purely survival, winning a softball game, or leading microsoft.

An hour? It takes me half an hour from the time I get out of bed to the time I'm out the door, showered, dressed, and everything. Of course, I don't eat breakfast, I'd rather sleep in

An hour to get ready sounds like a long time. When I'm going out and actually care how I look, it takes 20 mins, 25mins tops if I shave. Shower, shave, put some pants on, put on a shirt, some deodorent, and a spray of cologne. Make sure I have my id and money, and I'm out the door. What do people spend 1.5 hours doing???
 

So many of you need to take more classes in school, because most of you are about 95% clueless.

this whole thread is full of ass hats... well at least a couple. the whole metrosexual thing started as people breaking stereo-types. It was a backlash from the gender-roles of the 60's. If you don't sport constant stubble, cheap cologne and flannel you aren't a man? retarded. I have a big kawk, i use it to pleasure my girlfriend. that makes me a man. everything else is secondary. it isn't necessary to be a thick necked jock to be attractive to women. our society is finally starting to realize it is ok to be yourself, wether that be any combination of genitalia, masculine/feminine traits, or agressive/submissive attitudes.

sadly now that "metrosexual" has been coined, you will find all kinds of posers trying to cash in on a "trend". just like some guys try to be jocks or preps for the same reason. being someone you are not will not make you a real anything.

Well, if it is the metrosexual males getting the so-called poon, then it is the metrosexuals reproducing, passing on their genes, while the old style males will die out.

The reality of the matter is that they're not getting the poon. While they're at the bath&body works complimenting their other metro friends on their choice of hairstyle, the girl they call their "girlfriend" is back at home getting slammed by the same type of crude jock that the metro despises.

I think you're operating on wishful thinking here. When you envision the contemporary "player" type that sleeps with a lot of women and frequents clubs...does he look more like the guy with gelled hair and a meticulously selected wardrobe over his shaved chest...or does he have a frayed baseball cap over his messy hair and wear a t-shirt over his beer belly?

I've gotten a lot of action (since I got out of that sexual dry spell known as marriage) and I'm a pretty typical guy. Ratty jeans, ratty t-shirts usually of the Harley/Sturgis/biker variety. Messy hair, hairy chest, even getting quite a bit on my back. I clean up for work, but I'm not sweet smelling otherwise, either smelling of gas and oil or sweat. I've often got road grime on my face from riding. And the best of it, I get a farmer tan. I'm of northern European descent and very light skinned. I burn easily, but I wear t-shirts when I'm out riding and get tanned/burned forearms.

You'd be shocked at how much action I got. So either I'm truly god's gift to women, or not all women fall for that metro routine.

I think that's exactly the point. Society seems intent on turning all men into metrosexuals. It's because it IS a trend that it's being ripped apart by some. Shows like Queer Eye make it appear that society now actually frowns on acting masculine. It's not about doing what you want to do and being yourself, the message is that you have to be fruity. If my wife invited a bunch of flaming homos into our house, and they proceeded to throw out all the things I love, two things would happen. First I'd kick the ass of everyone near me. Then I'd find a divorce lawyer.

If the whole point of "metrosexual" was to show that men could do those things and still be men, then why is that lifestyle being foisted upon every man, regardless of their wants?

because society is still retarded and likes to pigeonhole everything. maybe it's a symptom of the mind. we like to organize things into catagories. it makes it easier to judge people..incorrectly.

but no one is being "forced" as far as i am aware. though weak minded people will always be coerced to follow the current profit making trends.

in my opinion there is a difference betweeen being clean and decently dressed and being a flaming metrosexual.

One of my friends is borderline metro, i, as well as just about everone else, thinks its hilarious in a very pathetic way. I have never seen someones girlfriend have to wait for the guy to get ready or have the guy consistant outdress the girl.

I try to keep myself somewhere in the middle. Clean but not gay.

Jockboy Biff over there has a bigger kawk. He also uses it to pleasure your girlfriend. That makes him more of a man.

So I guess that makes it good? Not always. Let's break some stereotypes and make a Volvo that's dangerous, a Porsche that handles like a 1983 Cadillac, and an airliner that doesn't fly. It's breaking stereotypes, it must be good.

Hey, I have another great idea. Let's make a man act like a eunuch and call it "metrosexual". He can be a sissy, a real nancyboy... great idea.

Sounds like a journal entry, not really an editorial. There is nothing wrrong with a bare chest, but there is something wrong with a huge thing of pubes in your mouth IMO.
