How do you know if you are a Girlie Man?

@Jinete Mortal

Reminds me of Arnie’s rant not that long ago about the dems in the California state government being “girlie men” for not following through on their promises.

Oh, yes, Arrnie should talk. A man who likes to pump himself up not for sports or strength but to win the male equivalent of a beauty contest, a man who shaves off all his body hair and applies fake tanning lotions so his muscles catch the light better, a man who parades around in a speedo in front of other similiarly scantily glad men -and seems to enjoy it - , etc, etc, ect.

What about Canadian football. They have to run an extra 10 yards.

[quote=“Dangermouse”]Men who play American Football instead of Rugger or Aussie rules football are girlie men.

You’re walking a fine line, DM. :fume: :fume: :fume:[/quote]

Don’t worry yourself about DM, I would bet that he has never run a slant route over the middle.

Speaking of non-girlie men, I remember mi compadre who played Strong Safety on our team in college. His junior season, he put 7 opposing WR’s in the ER, and his senior year he bettered that record by 3. Dude was the hardest hitter I’ve ever seen play the game. Absolutely ferocious.

Yeah, you won’t see guys like that carrying a manpurse and wanting to talk about the sitcom, “Friends”.

Any man who wears a face mask, tight lycra pants and pads must be a girlie man.

I’m outtta here before I get lynched. Bye.

Girlie =

Any bloke who drinks Coors Light
Any bloke who thinks Smirnoff Ice is a drink for blokes
Any bloke who smokes Marlboro Lights
The French
Any bloke who watches Friends
Any bloke who watches Sex & The City
Any bloke who doesn’t know who won the World Cup in 1966
Christiano Ronaldo
Any bloke who goes to wine bars
Any bloke who thinks that Tennis is a good sport

I’m sure Ray Lewis would love to have a word or two with you about that.

Shouldn’t this thread be called “How to know if Almas John thinks you’re a girlie man”?

[Omniloquacious]

@almas john

And, ladies and gentlemen …if you believe women are more important than drinking beer … then you are a Girlie Man!

Damn! I’d worked my way safely through your list thus far, but fell at that last devilish hurdle.

As I’m now branded as a Girlie Man, I’d better go put some gel on my hair and squeeze myself into more form-fitting trousers.

[Yellow_Cartman]

almas john has forgotten a couple of things… let me add:

1. Loving Erasure and ABBA.

That’s pretty girlie…

:eh: that’d be me

And if you give in to peer pressure about what things you can and cannot do in order to be considered a “real man”, then you, my friend, are a SPINELESS man.

@Erhu

And if you give in to peer pressure about what things you can and cannot do in order to be considered a “real man”, then you, my friend, are a SPINELESS man.

Whereas if you give in to pressure from the women as to what you can and cannot do in order to earn their approval, then you, my friend, are a hen-pecked man whose better half carries your balls in her purse.

You just can’t win, can you!

[quote=“Dangermouse”][quote]In the states, rugby is what we play when we’re too old and feeble to play American football. Rugby is to American football what softball is to baseball.

Stop it. Stop it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha …ohhh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha snort. Oh dear.

Oh, it’s too late for this kind of comedy Tigerman. I’m going to bed.[/quote]

It s true, though. Lots of ex-football players take up rugby in the US when they are too old for football. How many ex-rugby players take up American football when they are too old for rugby?

Its very common in the states for athletes to take up other sports when they get older and retire. Among the popular retiree sports in the US are golf, bowling and rugby.

How ironic; I would have thought that was one of the main requirements for not being a “girly man”.

That won’t save you from being ridiculed or condemned from some quarter whatever you do.
