Men in the Playground

[Micate]

Oh yea, I have heated debates with the voice of self-loathing all the time. He always seems to be winning, but I'm pretty good at ignoring his advice anyways.

[Rockphed]

I know its voice, and it is scary! It must surely be quelled with an Obelisk of light!

[Midnight Son]

I have learned to ignore that voice in all cases but relationships. For some reason, he still gets me there. The whole, "does she really like me" question pops up all the time when I'm dating someone. I have to smash it with a sledge hammer or it gets the best of me and I start acting like a whiny little girl and she gets upset at me for not believing her when she tells me she loves me.

Aside from that, I know I can lose weight, I'm just too lazy to actually do all the exercise required to make it happen.

[phoenixineohp]

I haven't been reading this thread, but I stopped in and feel I must add this simply from what I've seen on this page.

[Hoggy]

I lol'd.

RE voice: Yes, I think everyone ahs it at one point or another. Some people are just naturally obnoxious and ignore it like they ignore all the other voices that plague them through life. :smalltongue:

[AtomicKitKat]

There's at least 2 of them, one male, one female, and probably a couple more. If I recognise them, I quickly say out loud "Shut up!", although if there's actual, physical people around, I keep it low.

[Serpentine]

Mine is confusing :smallfrown: The best, and possibly most extreme, example I can think of goes like this:
Think something nasty, possibly racist or just shallow or whatever, but ironically - what a nasty or racist person might think.
What if it was actually your thought?
But I don't think that.
But you thought it, so you do.
Now I'm being paranoid and over-thinking it.
But it's something I should be watching out for...
But why? It's not like you're really like that...

I don't know which is the good one and which is bad :smallfrown:
Then there's the ones that go more like this:

Ugh, he's being such a hypocrite, I should say this to him.
Stop being a hypocrite, you do that too.
Dammit, now I'm a horrible person.
But he was being unreasonable.
You should take the higher path, be a good person.
It's not fair that I should always be the better person...
So? You still should.
I'll just lie down and stay silent, then.
But now you're being a victim...
Victim or aggressor?! Dammit, what am I, and what should I bloody be?!

Yeeeeaaaaah. I think too much.

[Supagoof]

The voice in my head, well some of you have seen it. It takes the form of an ogre that runs through threads when the tone gets to serious. :smallbiggrin:

Okay, that's one of the many that run through my head. Moving on...

In response to Shraik's issue, the question you need to answer is.

What do you want?

Risk vs. Reward. What are you willing to risk vs. what are your expected rewards if you take the risk?

Is this a loving crush or a lusting crush? All too often those are confused with each other. Ask yourself why do you have this crush?

What would you do...
if it's lust?
if it's love?

Even if you don't hook up with her, perhaps you can help direct her life, if she is promiscous, to a path less dangerous. My thinking is that she isn't, and that's just some rumor some guy who got stood up told to make himself feel better.

But in order to find out, set your priorities first, then go dive in.

[Telonius]

Yep, that voice is there for me too. Actually, I don't mind it at all. It's there to serve me. I picture it as some evil little Court Jester. If it starts speaking up, I know I'm starting to BS myself about something. So, I can call a halt and figure out what's going on, then continue on even stronger.

Regarding Shraik... You're both Freshmen... in high school? College? If it's High School (and I'm assuming it is), chill out a bit. You have plenty of time. You don't need to get with the first girl that happens to turn you on. Because, trust me, there will be plenty of women who will want you, and who you actually want to have a relationship that's not just about sex. Unless she's some kind of space alien, she doesn't have anything that other women don't have. (If she is an actual space alien, stop posting here and go for it).

I personally don't think there's anything wrong with sleeping around, as long as all parties involved are adult and consenting, and don't deceive each other about their intentions. Other viewpoints definitely differ.

[Proven_Paradox]

Usually for me, about the time the voice that says, "Dude, you should ask her out!" says something, the conversation has her bringing up her boyfriend. At about that time, the voice that shouts obscenities in my head starts up (but I can tune him out) and later, the voice that suggested asking her out says, "Well, at least she told you before it got awkward."

As for the self-devaluing voice... I guess I never make it far enough for him to have anything to say.

[YPU]

Oh boy, the voices. I am quite aware that I often murmur “shut up” to myself when locked in thought. I also have found that since a few recent events I have also developed a new voice, on that is constantly angsty and doesn’t trust people on anything, one that doubts the persons I believe the most. I suppose its part of emotional scarring.
I also have a voice that tells me to flirt more and keep it up rather then stopping at the first step. Strange enough that one is my girlfriends…


On a side note, I know that some time ago there was something on tv about a guy who had wrote a book about how to develop multiple persona. The type that you can switch of but could help you develop an new view of things. Now I think about it I’ll try and see if I can find something about it. It was a Dutch guy I am sure. It was said that this book was very good for self aid because the creation of these persona was much like character creation to us, you can point build or you can roll it. That way one could make a persona which is perfect for giving support in specific situations, and thus helping you.

[Farmer42]

So, I'm lost here, and in real trouble. I'm interested in a girl, I don't know her too well, but I'd really like to get to know her better. We have a class together, and from just talking in class we have a few things in common. The problem is, I don't know her relationship status, I don't want to step on toes, and I'm really, really shy. I'm...yeah...I could really use some advice from the Men of the Playground.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention the really ironic part of the whole situation is the class itself. Understandings of Love.

[Proven_Paradox]

...Ask her? If you don't want to be that direct, engage her in conversation. It's quite possible that if she is taken (as all the good ladies seem to be) the it'll come up on its own.

Are you or her on Facebook? That seems to be a social tool now. With listed relationship status reports.

[KindaChang]

Ask her if she wants to get lunch after class next week.

Great solution because:

1.) Lunch isn't necessarily romantic like dinner is.
2.) Next week isn't a specific date and is in the future, giving her a chance to make a decision that isn't yes or no right then and there.

For this, I want to say one thing, and yes it is a cliche but you should drive it into your head anyway.

"Actions speak louder than words." Just thinking something is not an action.

You ask her whether she's avoiding you because he has a jealous boyfriend or not.

That is, if she is avoiding you. If not... I dunno, that was the only tactic I ever used.

Nothing beats a casual conversation where you drop the line "Your guy is a lucky man." It gives a compliment and fishes for what you want to know. The trick is in starting the conversation...and that will be up to you. You can either wait for an opportunity and take it, or create one. Waiting would be if she asks or answers a question out-loud in class, then you can state your opinion directly afterwards (be it in agreeance or not.) She'll notice, and that can be a conversation starter later. Either that, or creating one would be "bumping" into her or dropping your books near her (risky, but maybe she be amused that her looks caused you to drop your books.) or just plain out starting a conversation. "Hey,[Girl's name], what do you think of [insert interesting topic you both know of here]." Just other ways to get a direct result, and speaking of being direct.....

Cobra - Confidence is not letting your fears control your future. You just need to turn off the voice in your head that says "don't do it because...." and take a risk more often. Despite what happens with said risk, at least trying was the right thing. Don't let a negative result of trying something stop you from taking further risks. It just means the something you tried wasn't right for you, and just the fact you tried displays the confidence you had in you all along.

[Trog]

I'm confused as to why I am coming here for advice, but...

...men, tell me how to be macho and confident! Or at least the second one. >.>

Confidence: Imagine a very attractive man, or celebrity, what have you. Imagine the charisma and confidence that they would have walking through your day in your place. Talking to the people you talk to. Doing the things you do. Imagine how this person draws the eyes of others and projects magnetism. Now imagine that YOU, walking through your day, project the same power. This power is in the eye of the beholder. As is beauty. Every one of us is attracted to different looking people. Every one of us has an innate sense of what attractive is. Someone out there thinks you fit into this category. In your head THINK that everyone is, somehow, noticing you. Sooner or later you may start to believe it. And that makes you feel a lot more comfortable.

Now what lack of confidence does is that it negates the sexy, attractive bit. Or it at least adds a negative modifier. So... you can make the best impression by not showing your lack of confidence. Easier said than done, I know. But you don't improve without practice. Just be confident in your head. You don't need to do different things than you normally do, just FEEL different. At first no one will even notice you doing it. And then soon, they won't be able to help but notice you.

On machismo: be manly without being a jerk. There's macho jerk-ism and then there's gentlemanly machismo. You probably already know where the line you shouldn't cross is drawn for this. If not, I'm sure the ladies will let you know.

Uh... does that help?

For a quick, short-term confidence boost, I recommend just looking good. Get yourself some threads you can strut in. It's amazing how much of a difference just looking good can make to your mood, outlook and general attitude.

Very true one here. And if your selection is good and somebody compliments your new clothing, you will feel sexier for at least a week because of it. Seriously.

I recommend enlisting the shopping aid of someone who is attracted to men. They know what looks attractive on men, and will thus be invaluably helpful. It works.

[Vuzzmop]

Well, Rogue, right now we are talking about allowing you to stay in the thread, I vote you can, but just because you know more about sports than I do, and apparently that's what makes people men:smallfrown:

My team won the school haka competition the other day, I guess that adds some man points. If you don't know what that is, just wiki it, someone probably got it right.

@Cobra: i'm an actor, and I see a lot of people slip up, freeze with nerves or completely break down simply because they lack confidence in their abilities. remember, don't try to vizualise people naked, its a silly idea, especially if they're attractive. Serpentine said to dress better and get some new threads, but I kinda disagree. Not that looking good doesn't help, but it tends to help more with females than men, just look deep within your manly self, find that little annoying part of your brain that makes you unconfident, and beat it to within an inch of its life. Visualise that, every time you're about to do something big ans scary, and eventually, you won't have to. Take a leap of bravery, because the first one is definately the hardest.

[Keymort]

The biggest problem with society, (at least in Australia), is that there is literally no support for guys.
First of all, media wise, we are completely ignored. All this "violence against women" crap is very much well and good, but it completely ignores the other sex.
Australia, I think anyway (it's at least in the top 3), has the highest male teen suicide rate in the world, just because guys don't actually get any social support, and if you don't have a friend network or good family relations, there is physically noone who is going to tell you about how you should deal with Girls/guys/shims.
The other problem is, that in general, guys are far to "macho" or "cool" to go out of their way to help one another.
Girls in society, have like, a massive cult thing, where it is them vs everyone else if anyone interferes with even one of their number, but when it comes to men, because we are far more aggressive naturally and chemically, it's hard for us to find social support from the "randoms" around us, the way that girls can.
Which is ok for most, because when it comes down to it, most of us can find friends and all that jazz. But for those who are socially inept, alot of them have trouble, due to bullying and suchlike.
Because we are stereotyped (I said stereotyped, not we are:smalleek: don't hurt me1!!) to be the strongest sex, we are often left, and even directly told to fight it out in situations we can't cope with, just because "We are men." But those that say that, often wouldn't be able to cope under the pressure that some are put under, if they were in the same, friendless (=support networkless) environment, but still get angry and claim they could.

[KindaChang]

Yes, as soon as you've correctly explained the offside rule.


Better challenge:

Explain the in-field fly rule.

[averagejoe]

Better challenge:

Explain the in-field fly rule.

Any time a fly gets onto the field they have to stop the game to get it off, because then one of the players might accidentally eat it, which would be gross. :smallamused: But they have to use a glass and newspaper, because you wouldn't want to kill it. :smalltongue:

If there are runners on first and second, or bases loaded, and less than two outs, and a fly is hit which can be easily caught is hit, the batter will be ruled immediately out, whether or not the ball is caught. It was implimented to stop infielders from intentionally dropping flys in order to make double/triple plays. :smalltongue: :smalltongue:

Edited for clarity.

[KindaChang]

I still think it should be runners advance safely if the fielder drops the ball. Come on, you need to punish them for being that incompetent.

It's like that in America too man. It's the age old concept of "Protect the women! They are frail!" mixed with the new age concept "Women can do anything men can do." to create "Protect the women! They can do anything men can do." :smallsigh:

Cobra you need to complete the man test (see above).

In one sense I'm joking (I don't really expect you to wrestle a tiger), in another sense I am not.

Many societies have rituals that establish when a man enters manhood. An event where after which you are accorded the respect of other men and treated as a man by everyone. Frequently this is something that is dangerous and a test of courage and determination. For example if you were born a Maasai male, every 15 years Moran occurs (which individually means you would be between the age of 12 and 25)

One rite of passage from boyhood to the status of junior warrior is a painful circumcision ceremony, which is performed without anaesthetic. The boy must endure the operation in silence. Expressions of pain bring dishonor, albeit temporarily. The healing process will take 3-4 months, and boys must remain in black cloths for a period of 4-8 months. During this period, the newly circumcised young men will live in a "manyatta", a "village" built by their mothers. The manyatta has no protective encircling barricade for protection, emphasizing the warrior role of protecting the community. No inner krall is built, since warriors neither own cattle or undertake stock duties. Further rites of passage are required before achieving the status of senior warrior, culminating in the eunoto ceremony, the "coming of age". You then go on walkabout protecting the tribe in general from such things as lions and other things.

So not only do they cut you and you are in pain for a few months, the big cats and dangerous animals get to try and have you for a midnight snack. Bet you feel like a man after that eh?

But where in our homogenized and westernized society do we find these rituals that say "now you are a man." There aren't any. They tend to get made up by our peer groups rather than by elder members of our tribe and you end up with manhood rituals like drinking copious amounts of alcohol, driving a really fast car, and sleeping with lots and lots of women. All of which are serious risk taking activities. At the end of which you don't even get a ceremony with a bunch of older guys saying that they are proud of you and you are now a man.

So Cobra really want to feel macho and confident? Make up a list of things that you think you cannot do that are both physically and mentally challenging. Especially concentrate on things that you are afraid of. For example, climb a mountain, jump out of an airplane, ride a horse, build something large. whatever floats your boat. Trust me, at the end of it, you will feel more macho and confident. (It also doesn't hurt with the ladies. :thog: Hey :haley: did I see you on the hiking trail when I climbed to the top of Mt Doom on the weekend? :haley: Why no ...but tell me more you big hunky man you. )

I'd say the ultimate American entry into manhood is to take one summer to see a home game of every summer professional baseball team in the US. A through MLB.

Now that's a multi-month grueling expression of manliness that teaches you valuable life lessons:

1.) You will have to perform basic maintenance on your car
2.) You will have to learn how to manage money
3.) You will have to learn how to navigate the US highway system
4.) You will have to learn how to "rough it" in the modern world
5.) You will have experienced the ultimate of all post highschool experiences: Road Trip.

Miko has small boobs.

...I'm kinda a fan of that. You know, they say more than a handful's a waste anyway. But then, some people have bigger hands than others...*looks at hands*...

...oh, and also...she's a cartoon. It's not like she's 3D capable anyway, so her boobs could never be big enough. I think?

On the topic of boobs, yeah, I'm of the school that a handful'd be enough. There's a point where I'd imagine they'd just get in the way.

That said, I've got strange tastes apparently. Apparently bones showing through the skin is supposed to be sexy now. If I see ribs I am immediately rendered uninterested.

If I see ribs, I can't hug for fear of hurting them. Brooke called them "the breakables". :(

[Jack Squat]

I'm the same way as you guys, I was just pointing out that cartoons could have size.

I've never seen the appeal of large breasts...there's a point where they just have to get in the way of daily life.

and on the thinness issue, there's a difference between being thin, and looking like a halocaust survivor. The latter has never, and never will be attractive to anyone with basic thought processes.

also, anything above a handful is NOT a waste in my own 'humble' opinion, though that rule may apply for 3 handfuls and up. course, maybe we're talking of different hands. what we need here are standards! someone should put together an association or an institute with a clever name to create diagrams and shiny graphs to settle this matter. pictures, too. lots of pictures.

There is a point where boobs are not nice anymore, but life-threatening or just annoying. Or are there many people here who would like to be smothered to death by boobs? :smalleek: Or having the big-boob-girl complain that she can not ly on her stomach because that hurts, the same for running, making large, fast movements? :smallyuk:

[Eksar Lindisfar]

about the boobs business, yes, it can turn annoying for the girl of big breasts after a while, it will be much like wearing pretty tight trousers for the man, I mean, the two we know down there will feel squashed.

that is why, also, I like women with large hips (not because the overweight, but natural reasons) althought it might sound like a fancy and subtle way of saying, I like "cheeky" girls (again, not because the overweight). Regardless of what my teenage lust might tell me, I don´t like skinny girls.

Studies have proven that the most attractive body ratio for a women is 0.7

Hmm. Morrigan? Or Lilith? Morrigan and Lilith?:smallbiggrin:

Big breasts=backache. Especially coupled with high heels. Why are us girls so obsessed with wearing them and then looking for boyfriends who are literally head and shoulders(and sometimes the whole ribcage) taller than us when we're both barefeet?

Okay, pause a second.
This is, and will be, about the only male thing you will ever hear Jibar say.

Yes, that sounds horribly shallow and in a way it is.
I've got reasons, sure, and this isn't to say that I only like this kind of woman. But... when you're friends with a large breasted fetish model, you start to realise just why people prefer them.

OhmyGod being male feels so weird.

I figure the stereotypical man is quite stubborn and is adamant he is right, and I wasn't sure where else to put this.

Right, so, got a letter a month ago, about my car I wrote off. Apparantly, they didn't get a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notice) for it when I claimed the tax back, and so were fining me £80. Worked with Dad to send a letter of complaint because I know I filled this form out. Today, get another letter; they've sent a 'photocopy' of my tax form back, with the SORN on the bottom of the form empty. Which is odd, because both me and my Dad remembering me calling him to get the owner details when I was filling it out shortly before I sent it off. But they've reduced the fine to £40, for some reason.

Question: Me and my Dad both remember me filling the form out before I posted it, so why is the photocopy blank? Why did they reduce the fine? Am I just going completely mad?

I prefer not to die during sex, actually, since that would be terribly upsetting for my partner, I think. Did anyone see Clerks? :smallwink:

And, besides, when I'm old enough, I very, very much hope to suck. Quite a bit. Maybe the men who enjoy breeding don't suck?

Well, I assumed that Jibar was using "suck" as a slang term to describe men as undesirable, repellant, or disgusting, and not as a term referring to the act of creating an area of low pressure within one's mouth in order to stimulate someone else sexually. Either way, I doubt if all men are or do.

[FoE]

Some other ways I would be willing to die:

1) Eaten by werewolves/velociraptors/yetis. But only if I get to say one final line before I'm killed: "I hope I give ya the s**ts."

2) Possessed by an evil spirit, and then killing myself to get rid of said evil spirit, ie. The Exorcist.

3) Falling out an airplane or with no parachute, ala Crank. Given how noisy the wind would be, however, I doubt very much that I could make one last call to my girlfriend. If I had one.

4) If I could die holding a tommygun and wearing a fedora while in a shootout with the cops, that would be awesome. "You'll never take me alive, coppers!" Rat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tat

5) Flame-broiled by Smaug, but only if it's his dying breath and I killed him.

Pop
Okay...where are the manly singers? Everywhere I look the airwaves are filled with squeaky little pop princesses singing "popular" songs. At least we seem to be mostly over the "boy band" experience (Which was the biggest display of homoerotic metrosexualism I've ever seen).

Heavy metal
Blech what's up with that? I can never understand what they seem to be screaming into the mikes and most of them look like asylum escapees with drug damaged bodies. Ozzy Osbourne wanna-be, when if you look at Ozzy why the boop would you want to end up with your brain fried like that.

Country and Western
There may be real manly men who sing country. My experience however is that cowboys generally don't sing. They are too busy getting drunk and chasing girls. Also my ears aren't designed for country music...I can hear.

You know, anybody who knows how to play guitar can take a week and play the same as they do. They try to sell by playing fast, but they lack in the songwriting department. And I know of bands that play faster. Heck, I think of all fast bands they are most comparable to Slayer, as they both have very fast solos that are only a lot of licks with no musical thought in them at all.

Are you talking about back hair that is about as thick a chest hair, or any back hair at all? Also, how visible must back-hair be to create disgust?

[Serpentine]

What, I've gotta rate it now? :smalltongue: Hmm... Well, a certain bf gets a few on his back. They make me want to pluck them - which makes him cross - but it's not particularly horrible. A friend from high school had this nasty thick patch on one shoulderblade and made another friend wax it for him. That was pretty nasty, but the guy himself could well have exaggerated that feeling for me (he was never exactly a nice guy, and excessively overweight to boot). I haven't really gotten up-close and personal with any other backhair, so I couldn't really say. That do? :smalltongue:
Paradox: Bummer. Yeah, like I said, I know it's not exactly something you can really help. And I'm hardly going to shun you always because of it :smallwink:

[T'ze'hai]

I don't like carpets.

I think with getting rid of body hair it can be solved easily when you have a BF/GF. If you want the other to get rid of (some of) the hair, it is likely your partner wants the same of you... OK, maybe not the same hair patches...
OK, example: when I complain that my BF should shave his face because it starts to itch or hurt me, he just starts complaining about certain legs that are itchy...:smallredface:

There's always the question about which parts of your body hair to keep, and which parts to shave. I would say follow your own feelings. And find someone who agrees with that.

[AtomicKitKat]

I don't like hairy anything but heads. No face, no chest, no back, no overly hairy limbs...it all creeps me out. >.<

Oh yeah, and if you can't reach it, you can always paste flypaper on a wall and run back first at it. :smalltongue:

While we're on the manliness, how do you guys do that pec bounce? And uh, any other ladies who can do it are likewise begged for advice. ^^

[WhatIsGravity]

What pec bounce? It's just flexing your pecs, haha. I'm underweight but I can flex my pecs enough to make it move a small amount (randomly though, still needs more strength and practice). You shouldn't have any problems, what with having already gone through NS.

I cheat by pulling the muscles from the traps(those triangles at the base of the neck), but I hope to be able to master it so I don't even need that some day.

[Cobra_Ikari]

...how does one flex their pecs? I can't really figure out how to do anything witht that muscle unless actively involved in some exercise. >.>

[Proven_Paradox]

The pec bounce? Were I to lose some weight I could do that quite well. It's all a matter of tensing the muscles. I have fairly large arm and leg muscles (manly!) and I can do something similar with those really well. I'm still working on pecs--it's hard to build those muscles; butterfly presses are probably the most painful part of my workout routine.

Buffy didn't make the team, did she? I though she tried, but then Amy's mother used a bloodstone vengeance spell on her to make her abnormally weak, with the occasional fluctuation to absurd strength, so that Amy's mother, in Amy's form, could make the team. She's already cleared the way by making that other girl burst into flames.

Although, now I look back, I seem to recall that she made the team once the spell was finished, and Amy's mother had been trapped in her trophy - because she comes into the library with pom-poms at some point.

And now I'm confused, and nerdy. :smalltongue:

[Brickwall]

You realize that the entire concept of a cheerleader was designed to be attractive to men? Let's read off the checklist:

Attractive figure. Check.
Outfit that shows off figure effectively. Check.
Acrobatic maneuvers meant to show off figure. Check.

Now let's move on to puzzling out more difficult problems, like 2+2=?

[FoE]

Buffy didn't make the team, did she?

She was in the movie. In fact, while she's cheering at a basketball game, she notices one of the players is a vampire

Cheerleader outfits are classic fetish gear. See also: Catholic and Japanese schoolgirls, nurses and vampires. :smalltongue:

[Lyesmith]

I agree on Willow being cuter. She made for the best villan, too, even if it was just for the three episodes.

How come those particular things (Cheerleaders, schoolgirls, etc.) are fetishised?

[Telonius]

Because men tend to encounter a lot of them at exactly the point in their lives when their hormones are starting to turn on.

(Except for vampires. They're just sexy.)

Catholic schoolgirls are, by reputation, much wilder than the non-Catholic variety. Discussion of why that is will probably get me into forum rules violation; but I will say that in my personal experience of going to Catholic schools it holds up pretty well.

[SDF]

The only kind of girl at my Catholic HS was; rich. Not really a huge difference from public school, except social cliques like punks and goths were almost non-existent.

[AtomicKitKat]

Uniforms in general...for both sides at that. I think it's something to do with uniforms representing rigidity and stability, and you know, the primacy of interaction being the opposite...

You're not wrong, but I think there's more to it than that. To some people (I assume, if TV is to be believed. I've never felt this way myself, so all this may be a load of bull.) cheerleaders represent the epitome of the social ladder. To be mated to a cheerleader increases one's own status socially. The cheerleader represents that girl who you never even bothered trying with because she was way too good for you. At least, that's how it seems to me.


(Except for vampires. They're just sexy.)

Ew. Gross. Necrophiliac. I like my partners to be living, thank you very much. And non-evil. I try to be open minded, but sexing corpses is definitely not manly. Or womanly, for that matter.

[skywalker]

First off, are there any actual vampires out there? Are we talking people who drink blood, or people who subsist on it? My God, 2:30AM does weird things to me.

Second of all, as a man(which this thread is for?) I have to say that cheerleaders tend to be attractive. I am currently a college student(aged 19) who enjoys the sight of cheerleaders primarily because they are attractive. While I spent many a Friday Night Halftime staring at cheerleaders, I have to say that it was a purely physical attraction and never had anything to do with social class. I hooked up with a cheerleader once(does that score me man points?) and I did not feel as tho it were the pinnacle of my social career. Although I did think it was really fun.

Finally, I love 70s heavy metal. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, that sort of thing. I think metal went wrong when it stopped being about music and started being about how many meedlies the lead guitarist can play. I mean, early Metallica has some decent musical ideas, Cliff Burton (their original bassist) was incredible, but all the other guys, and new Metallica, I understand that they're good, but dang, that sounds like crap. Yes, it's really hard. No, being able to play it does not make you a better guitarist than Eric Clapton.

What is it with men and cheerleaders anyway?

Quick answer: cultural conditioning (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllGuysWantCheerleaders).

edit: and I never understood the 'vampire as sex object' thing, even though we had to study it for Eng. Lit. The whole fetishism of being drained/consumed that seems to be a substantial part of the vampire mythos is sort of like a cheeseburger getting off on the idea of being eaten; just plain weird.

But then I never got the appeal of Vore (term NSFW). *meh* YKINMK. :smallconfused:

At least starting with Dracula, they've been of the rich, stylish, elite variety. Dracula had his whole brides thing going on... And the blood sucking, compared with other ways to die, is so very intimate: He has to draw you close, place his lips on your neck... it's often preceeded with seduction to make the intimacy possible, or at least easier...
That's just some stuff off the top of my head.

[ZeroNumerous]

All Hail Wikipedia, the Font of All Knowledge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_lifestyle)!

[FoE]

From the moment Bram Stoker wrote Dracula, it's been suggested that being the victim of a vampire — getting all the blood drained out of you —*was pleasurable (though ultimately lethal). Which of course was wh Dracula was so effective in Victorian times, when sexual pleasure was regarded as unwholesome and ungodly.

Of course, that's not true in all vampire fiction; the recent film 30 Days of Night makes an effort to portray vampires as ravenous beasts rather than seductive predators. So that is definitely not sexy.

[Thanatos 51-50]

Well... vampires are the more alive-looking undead, for starters. At least starting with Dracula, they've been of the rich, stylish, elite variety. Dracula had his whole brides thing going on... And the blood sucking, compared with other ways to die, is so very intimate: He has to draw you close, place his lips on your neck... it's often preceeded with seduction to make the intimacy possible, or at least easier...
That's just some stuff off the top of my head.

Points to Serp!
Also, look at the prose of even Bram Stoker's Dracula.
And then read it like a Victorian-Era mind.
The whole thing is so terribly - er - intimate, its all about the , uhm... cookies.

Seriously, the idea of a romantic rogue, sweeping humans away with the grace and inteliigance of a hundread year's practice, Prey on the rich, a life of luxury, walking the night with a grim little smile and an evil plan, sustaining yourself on the very life force of others, there is nothing more intimate than taking another's blood.
(Its a closeness of spirit thing - art of the reason I throughly enjoy plain physical, skin-to-skin contact like holding hands or giving and receiving massages).

[Burrito]

Wish I had stumbled on this thread earlier. It is pretty awesome.
.
Yeah, unfortunatly there is no real time when all of a sudden you "level up" and become a man and have a shiny new list of feats to choose from. Manhood is just like life, an ongoing process with only one real forseable end. As far as those go who wish to join the Ranks of Manhood, wether you are Straight/Gay/Male/Female/Outsider/Whatever...the rules are pretty much the same.
.
All you have to do is work hard, try to improve yourself, love and support your family, take RESPONSABILITY for yourself and your actions, make sure your children grow up to be good people, respect others, pay taxes, vote, exercise restraint, take advice from those who know better, learn from your mistakes, learn to rely on others, keep your promises, don't commit crimes, always wear a condom, set goals and work to surpass them. I mean come on, that seems like a pretty easy list...yeah right. If Manhood was easy, we wouldn't even have this thread.
.
Remember when you were little and (for most of us) you would look up at your dad and think "my dad is the greatest, he can do anything. I am gonna be just like him someday". Now just try to imagine what it was like for you dad at that time. He was probably in his mid to late twenties, he had bills to pay, a family to support. Imagine the stress of just life in general, now there were additional lives that he was responsable for, not just his. All the while thinking "is this good enough for my family? Am I going to be able to handle this? I just hope my kid has it better than me. Please Lord don't let me F this up" All of that is just some of the weight of mountain that is Manhood. Hopefully he had good role modles to look up to and get support from (his father, uncles, etc), hopefully he didn't break under the strain and start drinking, beat his wife, leave, whatever.
.
The thing is, there is no glib answer or magic bullet for Manhood. It is an ongoing, and evolving process that is different for each person. It involves doubt, pain, struggle, heartache..but also love, satisfaction, pride and personal growth. Life never gets easier, you just end up learning how to handle the problmes better.

My only comment on this topic: I believe that Andre is not annoyed because Khan used the name 'Rose', but because when he was mistakenly called 'Emerald', Khan said he 'kinda liked it'. The fact that I have in the past used the name 'EmeraldDragon' to RP here in the Playground, while Khan was still around, and that his new name is very like a mixture of my two names, is a little too much of a coincidence, and I'll admit makes me uncomfortable as well.

Can't say I see what the problem with Khan's new name is.

@V: Robert Downey Jr.

ACDC to start it off and Black Sabbath (could they have avoided that song?) to finish it. Good stuff.

I think this movie will raise the bar on super-hero movies. That actor is good (forget his name) and the general awesome of that movie, as not only a comic flick, but an action flick, seems at a good level.

I like the line, "Yeah, I can fly."

This video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=bRCsDhgSXUg) is at least a dozen different kinds of manly awesome.

Very manly. I think the room now smells of beer because of that video (it must be that, since we've never had any in here).

"What do you say to the people who call you the Da Vinci of our time?"

"Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint."

"What about those who call you the 'Merchant of Death'?"

"I like that one.":smallbiggrin:

Haha, great.

Everything in that video just reeks of pure manly awesome right down tot he fact that the guy watching her dance is wearing plaid.

Sure we have.

Scantily clad women, motorcycles, heavy metal... What's not to like?

Rock Hard, Ride Free!

Is it bad that I thought 'wow I hope they don't crash, they'll get eaten by the road.'?
But otherwise: awesome.

Edit: be be fair, not being feminist, I love motorcycles and my mother worked for the ER for years. Heard enough bad stories about people not being properly protected while on a motorcycle.

[Brickwall]

Sure we have.

I meant my room, not the thread.

And get that away from me. Alcohol is nasty.

[Rowanomicon]

Is that what that forum (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=15) is about. I seem to have been misguided for some time...

*Gladly take the beer away from Brickwall.*

Who here likes to Shotgun?

...I guess it's good to be concerned about their safety... I have to admit though, that's not the first thing that came to my mind...

(but yeah, if they crashed wearing only bikinis they'd basically end up as thin red stains on the road)

An old co-worker of mine used to work at a hospital, and I think his mom was a nurse. Anyway, he told me that the other people in the hospital used to call motorcycles "donor cycles." :smallamused:
