So when men hang out together, it’s called a mantourage: four or five guys walking around – if you’ve ever seen the TV show Entourage – every man has his version of their own entourage. It’s called a mantourage.
A lot of guys just hang with the same guys every weekend. You’ve seen these mantourages cruise the bars every Friday and Saturday night – usually there’s a group of guys consistently drinking as if drinking were a sport!
They actually plan out their meals – “hey dude, we’ve got to eat pizza at 7:00, start drinking at 8:30, and you don’t want to have that extra slice because the alcohol will kick in faster!”
Living in California, there are lots of mantourages running around. If you’ve ever gone down to Manhattan Beach, there’s mantourages on the beach – they’re usually the group of guys with the keg, hanging out all day long like they are 20 years old again!
But they’re not. Then they go back to their group house that they share in their thirties, and they sit down on the lawn furniture that decorates their living room – they thought that was cool!
So what do women do? Well, women join chickourages!
You know the woman: she’s out with her friends and out comes the digital camera at every moment? “Here it comes… the digital camera!” You never see guys walk around all the time with their digital cameras, saying, “hey, Joe, why don’t you and Jimmy get together right now and we’ll take a picture! This is a great picture moment!”
But women are whipping out that camera non-stop. Everywhere they go. Judy tries on a new dress and here comes the camera. Out for margaritas? Here comes the camera. Out with a group of friends at a bachelorette party? Here comes the camera!
Look at this! We’re in the airport, on the way to Mexico – here comes the camera. On the airplane, when the stewardess spills something – here comes the camera.
That camera comes out everywhere. Women have become documentary filmmakers. They shoot their entire lives. You have to look at every single picture that they have. It’s amazing – every single time, the camera comes out.
Judy tries on a new bathing suit? Out comes the camera. There they are on the beach in Mexico – out comes the camera.
And the funny thing about it is that every woman that you see on either Myspace or Facebook seems like a chronic alcoholic! Every single picture has alcohol in it. Yet these women will write on profiles on dating sites: drink? Hardly ever.
But still there are 75 pictures of them sucking down alcohol. It seems like either they are lying or they really are chronic alcoholics!
But it’s funny with these women and their chickourages. If you go to a woman’s Myspace page, it’s like a visual biography of her entire life! “There I am when I was 15 – oops, there’s a drink in my hand.” “There I was at 19 – there’s a drink in my hand.” “Hey, there I was last week,” and there’s still a drink in her hand. You’d think they’d send them to AA instead of Myspace!
Women have to document everything. The funny thing about it that the women actually send you updates: “I updated my Myspace page today.” And you think, wow, that’s so exciting, why don’t I go look at more pictures of you and your friends? I’d rather see you naked, in the flesh, in front of me then see pictures of you with your chickourage!

David you seemed a little bit cranky in that podcast
Hey man, you know its funny because people I have no idea about friend me on regular basis on facebook.
Lately I was friended by some people from California (have been there two years ago on a travel through the US)…interestingly enough those people are YOUR friends!
I just find it funny, be good. S
P.S. How is the lady Daphne doing?
Earlier today I passed by a lawn party at a fraternity house. It was probably 3 p.m. I thought to myself, it would be great to meet someone who has the balls to say “I can meet new people without alcohol.” That’s why I love Wygant’s outlook on not meeting people in bars and meeting people in places that you’re passionate about so fascinating.
Today, David’s approach finally started kicking in for me! It’s still in a pretty passive form of attraction, but I built two deeper connections with women I’ve recently met.
As far as the podcast, I didn’t really get as much as I would have liked out of it. I recently met a woman in line of Starbucks and struck up a conversation with her, and neither of us happened to have pens or phones.
I challenged her to a little game of expresso shots, and she said she’d have to take a raincheck because she had a class. Then she said to contact her via Facebook. In terms of friending her and/or getting her number, I’m the kind of person who would Facebook message. But asking for her number through this seems a little timid. I could give her my number, but I’m used to thinking that should happen the other way around. Or I could message her we have to go on a date, say it’s a surprise and ask her for her number. I’m more interested in the follow-up as opposed to what I could have done differently in the situation where it wasn’t as straightforward as just telling her to give you her number.
But yeah, the Facebook dating podcast didn’t really help at all.
A great podcast, I have to say I really enjoyed it. Never heard David in this kind of mood but it certainly was fun!
love the podcast, and the post today, it just gets funnier and its true!!
wow i wish i was like you
Damn, I need to start carrying my camera around when hanging out with my mantourage, lol.
that podcast was pure gold! i never ror so hard in my life!
The Podcast is pure entertainment!
Sometimes I enjoy having some fun!!
Felt like sharing some funny lite thoughts on labor day weekend!
So if you expect the usual lessons then pass on this one.
If you want to laugh and have some fun then give it a listen!
David – Love the “chickourages” reference! And how TRUE of some women!! And how SADLY true of some women over the age of 22 … women who never can be without their Kodak moment while out ALWAYS with their chickourage…
I’ve seen women in their THIRTIES whose myspace pages are an immature tour through ever girlfriend-hugging, pseudo-girlfriend hooking up w/ each other, posing in a bar with random “hot man” and, just as you said, in that same “im trying to be hot” dress and holding that same drink…
How ridiculous these women look …
I laugh every time I see one of these women’s pages … GROW UP! These are the women who will be wearing that same “im trying to be hot” dress and holding that same drink when they’re 50 and trying to pick up men who are 21 in that same bar.
I stopped needing a “chickourage” when I was old enough to start paying my own mortgage at about age 25 … and so should these women …
The chicktourage is damn true!
Imagine hanging out with 11 chicks all day long and half of them have cameras and take pictures wether you’re eating, taking the elevator, waking up, striking a smiling pose and won’t get tired of it! Unless you start making dumb faces. The worst part is that all of them go to Facebook!!!
Yep, it’s the curse of being part of a volleyball girls team
If you ever get involved in something like this… avoid it at all costs!
Amanda – I totally agree with you …
BUT David, I couldn’t stop laughing at your podcast!! Not only because you doing a stream of consciousness broadcast is ALWAYS … uh, … interesting
This one was FUN 
You are SO right though about all the stupid stuff on myspace and facebook … Now, I think it’s not a bad thing for the high school and college kids to use — and I’d even say it’s still cute for the young-20s crowd.
But like Amanda said, these women in their 30s who still feel like they need to become popular and show the world their mid-30s high school yearbook of photos – complete with kissing their girlfriends and posing in “funny” shots in their chicktourages are simply SAD!
They do need to grow up … and like David said, they clearly have too much time on their hands so maybe they need to find grown-up full-time jobs … or spend their time doing an adult activity.
Fun blog and podcast today David!
That podcast was hilarious…and so true. It’s easy man.
And you’re right. Life is one big high school.
lol, that podcast was amazing. David you could really be a stand up comedian!
Rich, I believe at one time he was …
we need the David Wygant Show on TV!
