Girlie stuff for men.
 

A true MANLY MAN hunts, bbq (not cooking sous whatever), farts (proud of it), boats, fix cars, repairs doors, heck fix anything, has a 12" member, drinks beer (not Shirley Temples), races/ride bikes, has an air compressor, welds, et. al.

But a true renaissance man has some "girlie" (or not typical manly) skills: cook (with sous whatever), hang wallpaper, sewing, painting, knows a good china pattern, plays the piccolo, plays the piano, quilts.

What else does the renaissance man do that is not flaming gay stuff, that he can be proud to say that he has the ability to do?

A man does whatever he wants to do and doesn't give a **** if you think it's manly or girlie. That's part of what makes him a man.

Gardening (what is a petunia)

Make threads about girlie stuff for men???

A manly man knows how to ****ing spell.

Agreed 100%. I've started surprising family members and friends of what lil talents I have. I painted the whole 1.5 story bedroom wall. Big mural. I sewed a dog blanket for my greyhound. I published a recipe. I play the piano, self taught, reasonably well. Basically built my house (interior mostly) etc.

So the running joke is what else to be able to do that would surprise them. Thus the girlie theme.

Speiling is for girls

Yeah....but quilting is for men. :rolleyes:

I have inscent. I cook. I restyle my bedroom to be more pleasing. Also banging your girlfriend while you're out with your friends. That sorta things.

A real man gets a AAA title for Xbone and plays it all night and calls in sick to his call center job and cries into his pillow at night.

:spock:

LMAO SPOCK

in other words you are gay and trying to hide it :)

I tweeze my eyebrows. It's an OCD thing, unkempt face hairs drive me crazy.

Uses hand creams.

See eDave

This is a man.

Wrong a manly man breaks the nose of Poindexters who gripe about spelling in a sports forum.

FYP

I've got an avocado face cream.

I currently wear these. Retro Andre Agassi.

I always wanted a pair but never got them when they first came out

**** you. I quilt.

I've got a quilt in the closet made by my great-grandfather.

Or is it just that you can't advance beyond yarn knitting yourself scarves?

Uhhhm. I cook, and i prefer to cook because quite frankly, im better at it than everyone else in my family, including my woman.

Gaaaaaay

And cooking is a man's sport. Go see how many bitches are in a pro kitchen hot side.

Man that ain't owning his kitchen might as well just cut off his ****ing nut sack right now.

I scream and run when I see a large spider. I am also very fashion forward.

Simply Red mult.

Now I need to watch Donnie Brasco.

This. All of this.

Get your ass on a chili cook off you lazy pansy-asses.

But do you go to a nail salon and get your nails done.

I did that for a year once. To stop biting my nails. It worked.

Worked outside all my life cold hot humid if I didn't use hand lotion my hands would be a wreck. Dry split painful. I seen that stuff above in a Westlake hardware been using every since.

Oh, no. We have very different style philosophies and color wheels.

Yeah but that's different. That's MAN hand cream.

I need to post that recipe I created.

I have been trying to convince my son that to be able to cook a coupla nice recipes is a chick magnet.

We have a friend that learned one song on the piano off his smart phone. That sappy song from the Titanic. He played it well and I commented how nice it was. I asked him to play some more tunes. Then he came clean...he wanted to impress chicks. Smart Dude. So my son did the same thing, with another sappy tune.

I used that instance to say that cooking a killer meal is the same. My son isn't that smart YET.

As to quilts, I think they are so darn cool. They are utilitarian as well as art and history. The skill set, equipment and time it takes to make is daunting. One common thread is that they all have a story to tell. A distant cousin 2 times removed on my grandmas' sisters side and dirt poor is into quilting up Minnesota way made one with a horse motif. There is just bits of eyes, ears, nose in spiral patterns for the quadrants. You have to really inspect to understand that it is really horses and not some weird abstraction. Totally cool.

I was just about to post this very thing.

I lured my wife into my web with my cooking when we first started dating. Been married 15 years now.
She still burns soup. Be careful.

Delightful. Does it have fragrance too?

I'll go with realizes that a TRUCK has 10 tires and hauls legitimate cargo. Also the term excludes your gay ass ford ranger you haul grass clippings with 3 times a year.

/ducks for cover :D

My wife boils water on medium heat.....

It's mostly water since it's first on the list. Later it lists dimethicone, the active ingredient, which is silicone. Aveeno also uses that along with that oatmeal. That traps moisture in and helps keep dryness out but prevents skin from breathing. Then it also uses wax.

Yeah, don't give a flying feces. It works. That's what I care about.

People burn soup because you forget it being there and don't want to stand around waiting for it.
I always put it on low heat so I can go do something even for only a short time

Actually, it's not, it keeps your skin healthy, especially if you work or play outdoors a lot or with anything that draws moisture out of your skin, which is your first barrier of defense for your immune system. You draw bacteria and viruses toward you with very dry skin. This is why diabetics have to have a good moisturizer because they're prone to infection.

Mechanics, truck drivers, construction workers have horribly dry and callused hands. They need hand cream—badly. I know a company that sells a greaseless cream with no fragrance to hunters.

It's not gaaaaaay or girlie at all. I guess if you use the petroleum based creams that are greasy and/or have fragrance it would be gaaaaay. But if you use something say, aloe vera based it's actually really good for your skin. Shea butter is greasy but some aloe creams aren't.

All I know is it works when many others failed. If I run out second choice is Eucerin.

And that's why you will make a great wife to someone, some day.


;)

No

It's not that serious. Yes, any man that works every day with his hands is prone to drying them out. I work at a fabrication/restoration shop, metal dries hands out like a mofo.

Eucerin is what we use around our shop.

I heard it works well. Just explainin' how it does that. Eucerin has always made me break out. Well, it is mineral oil which is made from petroleum and clogs pores. Mineral oil is cheap.

I noticed your brand finally removed it's parabens. That's good.

Lanolin is an awesome moisturizer but it's animal based, heavy and smells horrible. You smell like a sheep. I use it in winter on my feet then put socks over them. It has no man-made chemicals added...but works really, really well.

Yes, that kills your skin too. Non-dry, non-callused skin is healthy skin. That's why I posted hand cream as girlie stuff for men. Or what is usually considered girly.

Because Eucerin is made from petroleum product it sits on top of the skin and washes off. So does dimethicone. That's because they work on the basis of trapping in moisture. It works until you wash your hands but then you have to re-apply. There are creams that absorb better that don't do that too.

Surprised nobody has mentioned that we all use hand cream, but not for that purpose:)

I use a cream that is advertised as non-greasy cuz it's made of aloe vera which absorbs deep into the skin. So it also doesn't wash off. It's usually the greasy residue that men don't like and consider "girlie"...well if it has fragrance too. But fragrance is alcohol-based which dries out the skin. So mine wouldn't work for what you had in mind.

Do you guys like flowers?

Yeah, but he was talking about jerking off.

Mine wouldn't work for that either—should someone want to borrow some. It requires something with slide...and that means grease.

Anyone dress is girls lingerie here? In private that is.

that escaladed quickly............

You bet. I pick them up when I go to Trader Joes or Costco.

used to braid the wife and daughters hair a lot back...well back.(gfy)
in fact, now that i think about it, i did it for a few others.

just thought i was pretty good at it. never got my rocks off, or nothing like that. shit, you're just looking at the back of their heads, anyway.
sec

This.

I was just saying how it works. Other stuff works too using different ingredients.

fantasy sports.

i just dont get the appeal.

I have a cat.

LMAO

haha me too. I tried having dogs and they either die of some ****ed up disease i never heard of, or someone steals my dog. I gave up on having dogs.

Well, there's bunnies. So cute and fluffy. Much easier to care for too. Plus you can put them in a cage.

I once listened to Air Supply on the radio....

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

So, I live in NE Ks. 10 acre lil farm place. Moved here in 11/92. Place needs dogs, no fences, no collars, dog heaven. Want, and still do, large dogs. Adopted a Greyhound off the track. Max was 5 yrs old at the time. My first, true dog as an adult. He was wonderful. He didn't know how to do steps. He couldn't lay out in the sun in the yard for 1 yr comfortably. I got him 2/93 and, in KS, it gets cold. I didn't have the space for him to be in doors all day.

So, with his fine, thin fur, and because I can sew (a bit) I free hand sewed him a blanket (too me a week and too much money). I used "Duck" cloth that tents were made of for the shell. The interior was made from window drape insulation with the reflective side facing his skin/fur. Measured and stitched well with clips. In the end, it didn't work very well, he walked around like a corn cob was up his butt and finally ended up burning it.

So bite me if I made a dog blanket.

In 1872 maybe,but not now....not pitch manure. .not take orders

Gay men make gay threads like these ones

Just like a independent woman should do what she wants to do, even if what she wants is the traditional arrangement. I often hear feminists tell other women to do things the opposite of what the man wants when that decision is still man-dependent (as opposed to just choosing for herself).

I have a Yorkshire Terrier.
