Life Girlie stuff for men. - Page 3

Holladay · 04:37 PM

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?

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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
