A real man

The newest threat to man is not terrorism, biological warfare, or lack of flu vaccine. It is the false assumption that men and women differ solely in their plumbing. Caused by workplace gender equilibrium a new “sensitive” man, a.k.a. the metro-sexual, has been born. While some may say that it’s good for men to show their more feminine side, a line must be drawn immediately as to how far our society pushes this ideal. A simple Google search for “male makeup” reveals that it may already be too late. That’s right, there are already people profiting on the sale and distribution of makeup for men. One of the largest companies 4VOO in cooperation with websites like egentlemen.com broadcast the idea that men should wear makeup. They project that men are just as self conscious as women and that in time they will learn to accept themselves. From “face and body bronzer” to “lash and brow styling glaze” to “luminous lips,” these companies are indoctrinating men to believe that this is what they need to be attractive. Recently 4VOO introduced a line called “confidence corrector” and slapped the slogan “distinct men have the attitude” to their product line. What the #@$% is happening to our country and our society? This is utterly wrong. Men and women are different creatures that are hardwired quite differently. Imagine me spending the night at my best friend’s house only to find him applying makeup to a scratch he got mountain biking yesterday, so that he will look aesthetically appealing. What ever happened to chicks dig scars? Something must be done to stop this misconception before my school board is voting on whether guys can wear makeup at school, instead of just earrings and facial hair.
These are your nuts. These are your nuts in a jar of formaldahyde on the coffee table. Any questions?
Well don't you feel better now? Always good to get things off one's chest I say. Welcome to FR.
I think you made this up.
A real man
Is eye makeup a dealbreaker for you?
(?)
fact: neither men nor women *need* makeup.
no MAN would deign to wear any, save only actors and (men?) models.
Absolutely. I like big, hairy smelly guys not pretty boys.
Hell, I apply fake scars just to get chicks! Eye patch, too!
I think I'm going to be.....sick!
AUUUWWWHHG!
No more mascara then, and I'm perfect. LOL
LOL good thing I decided to stay awake. I would have missed this post.
And a pegleg? You can always get a cat like a certain other freeper I know.
Did someone say party?
Men are becoming too sensitive. Look at the television shows and the modern rock music, so called "Emo." In the years to come, when young men are carrying purses in school, I'll have witnessed the fall of man.
May we assume that after this debut, you're going to take your screenname to heart?
And a hook-hand, of course.
I wish I could find this Far Side cartoon and post it. Two pirates are in a bar, one has a peg leg, the other has a peg head. Peg leg says to peg head, "That's nothing! Let me tell you about the time I lost this!"
