Insightful as hell.
A woman after my own heart

The point she made about tolerating a Hugh Grant type as long as he was already successful: I think for the most part, legendary Hugh Grant non-masculine traits and business success are largely mutually exclusive.

Make a "comeback"?

Puh-leeze.

Our culture right now is so obsessed with "macho" it's ridiculous. War. Poker. Ultraviolent movies. Porn-chic. UFC fighting. Being anti-PC, all "****y" and the such.

And we're not talking a real macho, like you'd get in Europe or South America. It's a fakey, put-on macho... "check out my tats", that kinda crap.

I'm not saying it's a big problem... of course not, typical AFC behaviour doesn't help anyone... but to complain that our culture is anti-male and wussy and "Hugh Grant" is silly. Sounds like a very non-masculine whining, actually.

Yeah, go do a search for guido and you'll see a bunch of alpha males with their tight t-shirts, fake tans and acting macho. Alpha male comeback my ass.

Why do men die first? This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries, but, now we know. It requires a bit of explanation, first:

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race ... you're a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework ... you're a pansy. If you work too hard ... there's never any time for her. If you don't work enough ... you're a good-for-nothing bum. If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay ... this is exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay ... you should get off your lazy behind and find something better. If you get a promotion ahead of her ... that is favouritism. If she gets a job ahead of you ... its equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks ... its sexual harassment. If you keep quiet ... its male indifference. If you cry ... you're a wimp. If you don't ... you're insensitive. If you make a decision without consulting her ... you're a chauvinist.

If she makes a decision without consulting you ... she's a liberated woman. If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy ... that's domination. If SHE asks you ... it's a favour. If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear ... you're a pervert. If you don't ...
you're gay.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape ... you're sexist. If you don't ... you're unromantic. If you try to keep yourself in shape ... you're vain. If you don't ... you're a slob. If you buy her flowers ... you're after something. If you don't ... you're not thoughtful. If you're proud of your achievements ... you're full of yourself. If you don't ... you're not ambitious. If she has a headache ... she's tired. If you have a headache ... you don't love her anymore. If you want it too often ... you're oversexed. If you don't ... there must be someone else.

Why Do Men die first? It's because they want to!

Haha!

If you're proud of your achievements ... you're full of yourself. If you don't ... you're not ambitious

I've run into this one before. If no one asks what my goals are i keep quiet and am often acused of being unambitious.
