You are a girlie man.

"I see nothing wrong with Maria [Shriver] becoming a Republican. I'd say many of my best friends are Republicans," says Warren Beatty, Oscar-winning actor-director and liberal citizen-activist.....not really joking. ..............
Though Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's poll numbers have been dropping thanks .................................................
..................much like the candid candidate Jay Billington Bulworth from his 1998 political satire. He derided the governor for "his reactionary right-wing agenda," "his bullying of labor and the little guy," his plan to spend money on a "totally unnecessary special election" and his refusal to raise taxes on the rich. Beatty asked Schwarzenegger to "cut down the photo ops, the fake events, the fake issues, the fake crowds … the scapegoats, the 'language problems,' the broken promises, the 'Minutemen,' the prevarications and put some sunlight on some taxes.
"It's become time to define a Schwarzenegger Republican — a Schwarzenegger Republican is a Bush Republican who says he's a Schwarzenegger Republican," Beatty said. "Can't we accept that devotion to the building of the body politic is more complex and a little more sensitive than devotion to body-building?
"Does that make me a 'girlie-man'?" asked one of the 20th century's most famous Lotharios.
Beatty, a political veteran who's worked for every Democratic presidential candidate since Robert Kennedy in 1968, dismissed Schwarzenegger's claims of uniting both sides of the political aisle..............could do as much harm as it would help." Of course, the stakes change when it's all-Hollywood mano a mano.
"In California, it's much more difficult to demonize the entertainment community when the governor is an entertainer. If I'm leading the way on that, that's good," Beatty says. Indeed, this is the second anti-Schwarzenegger speech that Beatty has delivered in the last few months, and he's not ruling out more. ....................

Some questions it is better not to ask.
You are a girlie man.
Yep...pretty much.
If you have to ask, you are.
I saw the film. He was not acting like a girlie-man. Every broad in the picture was jumping his bones.
Oh great. The LA Times is so desperate to find a match for Arnold, they are trotting out that old relic Beatty. The guy is such a dim bulb. I went to a conference once where rambled on four so long the audience started walking out. So full of himself. And he thinks he's smart, which is a dangerous combo, especially when your a dope.
If you have to ask, the answer is Yes.
I'd say yes.
"Don't ever call me Bugsy"
"Yes Ahnold, ve agree. Varren ist a girlie mon!"
Yup, it sure does sissy boy.
"Pump you up!"
Just because the guy is heterosexual (one is tempted to say "metrosexual") doesn't mean he doesn't meet most of qualifications for "girlie-manhood" (e.g. narcissism, foppishness, immaturity, etc). Sure, he has a carefully-crafted image as a "ladies' man", but then again, so does Woody Allen. We shouldn't confuse Don Juanism and satyriasis as masculinity, lest we be inclined to think of Bill Clinton as "mas macho" than President Bush.
You're right. I guess I was thinking about my impression of when I saw the film. I thought, as many teenagers did at the time, that he was doing what every guy wanted to do.
"He was not acting like a girlie-man. Every woman ..." Um, that's why they use the verb 'acting.' "Acting" doesn't actually prove much.
Fair enough. see my post to pawdoggie # 20 where I repented.
You tell me......
OK, OK, OK. I give up. I thought that any man showing that much interest in the opposite sex is not a girlie man, but you and the other posters have shown the error of my ways.
If the show fits Warren...
Great post!
Egads! Another H'weirdo idiot sounding off for media attention.
Metrosexual at best...
So, are you taking this really personally then?? Are YOU Warren Beatty? I am just thinking of, who was it, Rock Hudson,? and how they always had him in love scenes with Doris Day....
Naw, I'm not Warren Beatty. The only thing I wish I had in common with WB is I wish I had Warren Beatty money. Not his, just similar. When I was younger and more foolish, I thought the Shampoo lifestyle would be great. The theme of the generation was Sex n' Drugs n' Rock n' Roll. Now I have a job and pay taxes and I realize that being manly means something entirely different.
OH yeah. Rock Hudson. Playing the beard to Doris Day. Now didn't he have everyone fooled?
Yeh, the Shampoo Fantasies, huh? Life is so much more.
Liberalism is still a mental disorder, Girleeman or not!
Beatty was a Metrosexual when David Beckham was still in nappies.
Beatty is just another out-of-touch Hollywood socialist. His problem is that he's getting boring. Maybe he should change butlers, hire one who will play a practical joke on him once in a while. I dunno.....
Yes. Si. Jawohl. Da.
Warren Beattie you are a Gurlie-Man. Arnold could beat you up with his pinkie.
This is the first legitimate threat to emerge vs. Arnold. Unlike much of his Hollyweird brethren, Beatty actually has a brain.
He's a male or psuedo-male version of Barbara Striesand (sp)
