What is happening to men?

[StressMonkey]

I don't dye my hair or facial hair but if my fiancé said she preferred I did I probably would. I don't see any problems with it either way. The only things I would ever judge a man on is if he takes care of his responsibilities to his family. I've met a lot of tough guys before that left their wife and don't pay their child support, those to me are not men. I know others that yes, dye their hair, worry about their appearance and probably couldn't punch their way out of a wet paper bag but they take care of their responsibilities and those to me are more of a man than the first example.

VERY well said.

Mad about a man who dyes his hair? No. But I do wonder about a man's integrity when he tries to be something he's not. Maybe there's no correlation between hiding behind fake coloring and one's ethics, or maybe there is. Nevertheless, the door's been opened from where I sit. Maybe you need/want me to trust you, maybe you don't. Maybe you'd like me to respect your self-confidence in owning your natural hair color, or maybe you don't.

That is such a bizarre correlation. Do you potentially question the ethics of women that dye their hair or is it only men?

You might as well say a woman who dyes her hair, waxes her eyebrows, gets implants, tans, gets fake nails, etc...is trying to be something she's not. I choose to dye my hair every 4 weeks when I get it cut, because I don't like myself with grey hair. I'm still the same old Kim with a different hair color.

I find you more of a man when you choose to do things that makes you feel good about yourself.

There's nothing wrong with that.

EXACTLY. If you look like how you look more power to you.

What kind of cardio and at what Intensity allows a person to eat while doing it at the same time? Inquiring minds want to know?

[InternetTuffGuy]

I don't know about it looking unnatural but I know I don't like the way I look with grey/white beard.

And I will be honest, even if my wife would tell me she didn't like me dying it, I would still dye it, because as I said, I don't like they way I look with it white.

Looks good to me.

Let's get real here. This is a bodybuilding website. Isn't the point of what we do driven to a large degree by improving the way we look? Why wouldn't that carry over to grooming and clothing?

[Fishman15]

It's so funny to me that men argue about things like this

It is kind of funny isn't it Cass? Now you know how us men feel when you wimmins start pulling each others hair and having pillow fights over a guy...

[acrawlingchaos]

You are smokin' hot either way. I get if you don't want a dog in the fight but whats your take on guys with grey in beard/hair and them dying it. Guys spray tanning. Guys dressing prettier then ladies. Guys acting effeminate.

I've noticed that you tend to not like anyone that excels or makes themselves stand out.

As pointed out, your consistent evaluation of other men could be construed as effeminate. I'll gladly embrace my feminine traits if that's what they are.
















EDIT

Recently got these beauties on sale... Cole Haan... hardwood soles.








Thoughts?

[Xscoot]

Hey, Xscoot, are you really 173lbs? How long you been training and what is your training split?

srs

I work out however I feel and when I feel. Intuition. Some days I put in 1.5 hours some other days 8 minutes (srs) Some days just pullups and pushups some days I crash and bang the plates around like Bobo the batty crackass. This is me a few months back. I look better now but am way too lazy to snap a photo and upload. For my age I am quite sexy.

I don't want to seem shrewd so I will scramble the letters on what I think about your new kicks. (ohom) sexual

[Lou1se]

Prefer a man who is not wrapped up over how he looks. Nothing is more alluring than a man with great integrity. He treats everyone with respect and leaves a positive impression. And when met with life's challenges, he'll do whatever he must.

ooops wrong site

So you think they're cute?




BTW, what do you use for chest hair removal? I personally just use a pair of budget clippers. Any recommendations?

[21infantry]

Hey now, I've got 4 pairs of Sperry canvas (wearing a black pair right now). I'm heading now over to main misc to see what's up.

Not saying anything negative about it, I actually dress that way. Sneakers are for athletic events, not everyday where.

Actually those shoes are kind of cool to be honest. I don't think I could pull them off though

I like them ACC. You and I have similiar shoe preferences. My shoe collection is not as large as my sock collection but it's getting there

Just grabbed these myself. Johnston and Murphy

[OutOfStep]

Hmmm, maybe this is not so good. OOS may have burst a vessel in his brain. Hope hes ok.

I'm ok! Brain...well...it's as good as it will ever be. No need to worry. Just so we're clear though, you didn't actually "see" me laugh.

[pvsampson]

Haven't read the whole thread and don't want too.

Men are now just too damn f'cking cowardly and feminine.

Not all.

Ease up on posting the gay porn bud. You're worried we're all too effeminate, and then you post a pic with a shaved chest? roflmao

I remember when I was your size, about 15 years ago. Even at 202, I'm not nearly as delusional or arrogant. But, you keep on trying

When I try to shave my chest its just breakout city, best I can do is keep it trimmed.

[Overload]

Women are at their sexiest when they don't try so hard to be sexy.

and driving a pickup truck with a cowboy hat on... something about a nice looking woman in a pickup truck

[Edman316]

I could write pages on this subject. The conclusion would be that men will reverse to being men again in the next 15 to 20 years.

Sounds like you either got your azz kicked by a metro-sexual guy or a metro-sexual guy stole your woman.

Either way, you sound like a b#tch crying about what other guys do.

Worry about yourself and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing. No one elected you to be the voice of masculine men.

Here is attire from this morning's workout. And note my pink-stripped wrist wraps. Great workout, threw a ton of weight around.

Also, that is the urinal I peed in. Great urinal, the correct height, great lever action and a fantastic flush with minimal splash back.



And my 10 year old son plays football with pink shoelaces....why? In honor of his aunt who died of breast cancer. I suspect my 10 boy has more stones than the OP....I know their builds are similar.

Finally this thread had turned into a worthwhile topic, shoes!!
I love a man who knows the value of a good shoe (or boots, or sneaker - whatever fits the venue )

I was all set to make up some bs about not letting ladies in the mens room, and then you mentioned the aunt... Good for you for showing support.

[KeepItMoving]

I remember back in college; when I was at my biggest and strongest and running around like the most alpha male I could conjure, I got way less ladies. I mean there was a kinda muscle groupie out there that comprised about 2 percent of the female population. After I suffered a significant injury. I had to be out of the gym for over 7 months. I shrunk in size and definitely became way less alpha.

Guess what? I got way more female attention in my less alpha, smaller, less muscle time. So maybe these pussy ass, effeminate metrosexual guys are actually more alpha on a different scale. Maybe their own experience has told them if they act more like a woman, they get more women, so, in fact, their more 'alpha' than the traditional alpha male.

I dunno.

Yep, my college had that as well. Not sure of the percentage, but I remember it being like 4-6 girls you'd kind of wait around hitting the hookah until it was your turn. I miss those days/hoes.......

You look tiny to me.

But I'm sure you don't care. Or at least I hope you don't.

See how these arguments work?

Alpha. Funny term. 99.9% who think they are alpha, are not. Those who are, don't know any other way to be, so the term will generally be lost on them. Those who try to be alpha are funny, because everyone knows.

Robert Oberst wears pink Chucks and sells a line of pink socks. Doubt anyone is gonna tell him anything about appearance.

LOL. Boots are just a bonus

Unfortunately not too common although I do live in a rural area so I see some from time to time.

I was starting to like you and your argument (well except the one about dying the beard) and then you go and post this homo pic?

I think you are a closet case.

Carry on folks.

Ohhh Cass, let me take you away from all this argument (with my dyed beard) and treat you like a woman should be treated
