Have fun in New York you and your gal. I remember a country song: Thank God I am still a Guy. I like to hear that song for it reminds me of the straight guys that I have met along the way.

Sorry for the dupe, David – didn’t get the moderation message (even after clearing cache and refreshing) the first time.

With that title, David, you completely missed the obvious sponsorship: Gillette, whose push to have young men shave their entire bodies baby-smooth is a step on the road to the idolization of International Male catalog models, all to cynically fuel sales of a multinational corporation’s criminally expensive razor blades.

See for yourself: search “Gillette shave” on YouTube and prepare to be dumbfounded.

The complete metrosexual, however, seems to have tapered off a bit from its Queer Eye peak. There will always be the guys who are a bit too narcissistic for their own good, but they aren’t going to listen to you, me, or anyone. The rest of us need to find that happy medium.

I was hoping this would be a treatise on the “shave yourself baby smooth” trip that is going around (courtesy of Gillette – in their quest to sell more atrociously priced razor blades they’re trying to convince the young men of America that they need to look like an International Male catalog model with hairless man-bits).

There are certainly men who primp like ladies, but they seem fewer and farther between (except for the shaving part – seriously, look up “Gillette shave” on YouTube). Billabong isn’t going to go out of business anytime soon.

And it’s not a manbag, it’s a satchel.

Mmm, I think outward appearance is important no matter the gender, but definitely, men must not have more accessories and clothing stuff a girl has. A nice suit, flannels, buttoned shirts and jeans are good enough.

But since we live in such a competitive world of looks, some men and women feel the need to “peacock” to the max.

Great post David. The Summer Rental clip was funny! hahaha keep it up!
I have to agree with you. Maybe just keep a few metrosexual stuff with you, but c’mon, we’re men, we’re dudes! Getting dirty is our thing!
