You know, it's quite hilarious how people have double standards on these forums.
It's gay to drink wine in a pub, use a hot towel on your face, or have your hair longer than 2mm. But then, wait, the very people who are concerned with other people doing those things are into the whole 'image' thing, much like a woman.
They gotta make sure they drink the right thing, wear the right thing, say/do the right thing, in the right places. Of course, all in that 'real' manly way. I find the whole thing obscenely hypocritical, really.
To think that people actually sit and judge others' because they're not doing a REAL man's thing, talk about it, form opinions, voice them and have a little giggle, like a schoolboy.
What the hell does it matter? All the time, I see people asking 'Should I' or 'Is it ok' questions... and it's laughable to think that people are so damn concerned with this trivial crap that, actually, is the very foundation of all these crappy gossip magazines in the shops.
People want to dream, do and wish for things, be their own person, be a character, unique, special, different, blah blah. Yet, at the same time, be caught up in the whole commercialisation of what is apparently 'proven' to be the right thing. Or so you'd be led to imagine, just from the attitudes of a lot of people.
So, before you stop to think about wearing a new top, drink a drink or whatever, based on the fact that maybe 'other' people don't like it, just stop for a second and say 'What the **** does it matter?'.
Else, if that's your kinda thing and you love blending into the masses of normal thought, dress and attitude, then so be it.
A small rant.

if people are happy feeling manly and wanting to look 'manly' who are we to criticize them?
