Why men are like Bunny's

@the men of SYM: If you don't like to be compared with fluffy animals - just start to snore. NO girl will EVER compare you to a rabbit again...

No worries,

Don't ask me.
Never truly understood it.
Or the fact that they need 2 hours to get ready for a simple thing is mind boggling as well.

Go nuts. We need more capybaras in SYM anyway.

LOL I have some problems to see the manly connection here:

pain, muscle, blood - that's universal for most animal life on earth, including humans

Pain, blood, and muscles are manly. Just watch any action film and see for yourself.

engine, truck - "energy converters" and a vehicle, hey, I didn't know mechanical constructions have a gender

Mechanical work is manly.

Originally posted by C Elegans
robust - eh, and adjective that could be used on anything?

Men like the sound of the word. Men like words such as robust, steel, and barge. Words that are hard and fast (like a man's concept of ideal sex).

infantry - foot soldiers, yeah, there are mostly men, in most countries? Although some countries also use women and/or children

Men like military things (tanks, bazookas, etc.)

Connery - Sean? Yeah, he is a man I suppose - haven't checked inside his trousers though

The best James Bond, and therefore the quintessential man.

Originally posted by C Elegans
wrench - what is that?

What indeed.

Tools are manly because they help men work on mechanical things (and men like mechanical work).

Hm, this is all very confusing. What about contrasting the manly words with "womanly" words and "childish" words?

Womanly words? Most french words. Words like faberje', bubble, cuddle, champagne, shampoo. As for childish words; any derivative of poop. Like doo doo, pooh, crap, etc.

That about covers it. Remember that men are impervious to logic, so forget it when analyzing them. In fact, don't analyze men or the words they like. Just bring us more beer.

et's see, manly words... truck, pain, wrench, muscle, Connery, robust, blood, engine, infantry. Oh and capybara. .

That reminds me, quote from "coupling":

The 4 pillars of mannhood
- Whe like naked woman
- Whe like lesbians
- Whe like lingerie(sp?)
- Whe like Sean Connery as James Bond

And tea for those of us who don't drink beer!

Just to edit a bit, we don't like lingerie.
We like women wearing lingerie.

Yes it is semantics, but damn saying stuff like that can be dangerous!

It’s funny because it’s true.

Yeah, I suppose tea is okay. As long as you don't drink it with your pinky in the air, aristocrat style.

Nice save. I should also note that lingerie is another girly word. When it comes to underwear men like boxer shorts.

@Kayless thanks, you'll see a member of a capybara in the SYM shortly

, if i'm able to resize it

lets face it men, women are too complicated:

what man has to do to make woman happy:

remember her birthdays
remember her mothers birthdays
remember your anniversary/the day you met if not married yet
always bring her flowers, always
clean the dishes
help her tidy the house
walk the dog
take out the trash
watch oprah with her
go to expensive restaurants with her
cheer her up when she's down
give her a massage after a hard day of work
be nice to her friends
act civilized in public/at home
don't leave your socks or other dirty laundry all over the house
always put her over everything else

what woman has to do to make man happy:

be naked
bring beer

ipso facto->too complicated

GWAHAHAAA i've turned this feminist thread into a chauvinist thread and no i don't mean anti-patriot with that

Actually, I prefer it when women aren't wearing lingerie.

Ick, Oprah. *shudder* And all the beer I've tasted has been awful, give me a nice shot of spirits anyday. Sorry, I just don't like beer.

While this thread may have temporarily converted to a chauvinist thread, I'll wager it'll be turned right back as soon as the ladies get back and turf us out again. In the meantime we'd better cover the place in old unwashed socks, and sling a few beer cans about the place.

Maybe we should start working on an old car while we're at it.

Will this work?

CM · Post by CM » Tue Jun 04, 2002 1:48 am

Ode naked was covered already, we were just covering the entire spectrum of manliness!

That i agree with, women frankly expect and demand too much. Look we don't care if we meet each other for the first time 30 weeks ago.
We just don't care.

Frogman, i think butt naked is a very manly word esp. in reference to a woman being butt naked!

CM · Post by CM » Tue Jun 04, 2002 1:52 am

To add if CE wants to have a intellectual discussion, you will noticed most of the words frogman used are cacophonic. Wrench, truck etc. Or they imply hard solid unbeakable things. Try breaking a wrench, damn hard to do.

While all the girly words are euphonic and emphasize the more softer tones and aspects of society and stuff. It is too early for this.

Very true. Men like female nudity.

@Kayless i resized the one you posted earlier, hmm have to think which one to use...

@Ode i don't fancy(the aussie word of liking

correct if wrong) beer that much either i prefer long drink and the liquids that is mostly comprised of alcohol whaddayacall it? oh yeah booze

but that is the majority of men though i suspect when i get older(19 atm) i might start liking beer just have to wait and see, plus it's cheaper...)

Heh, take your time. Choosing a capybara is a big decision.

Ode to a Grasshopper · Tue Jun 04, 2002 2:08 am

Fancy works, though it's not especially 'manly'.

The thing is when I drink I do so to get drunk, and beer takes way to long to get me drunk. Spirits are much faster, and I don't like the taste of beer anyway.

Rather have a life time supply of tea, but ah who cares really!

*bows low and then comes back up quickly giving himself one of those headaches*

Interesting discussion...

I think that a 'manly' word is anything Anglo-Saxon. You know, the four letter ones, plenty of K's. Truck, Rock, **** etc....
And it may be that saying these words makes you sound angry and violent (good male virtues, of course

...) Try saying 'Just rock the ****ing truck' without sounding territiorial...

I am also interested in the male fascination with lesbians...what's this all about? Why aren't girls turned on by men having sex with each other?

While we're on the topic, exactly what is it that's so fascinating about breasts? I know it works, but I'm never sure why. I'm not talking about CherWeasel here, BTW.
