Where do all the men who don’t fit into these descriptions fall*? (the opera critic, the gourmet chef, the veterinarian, the news anchor-the ones without the sports/macho/cars/rock and roll meme). And how do you relate to them?

Being a man does not mean being an uncultured boor, although that demographic is growing at a distressing rate in the US. I don’t like macho-type dudes and don’t associate with them if I can help it. The thing is, macho doesn’t just mean you like football and cars and beer. It more means that the guy embodies all the stereotypical guy behaviors all the damn time - dirty jokes, jockeying for social position, showing off, talking about his sexual prowess, etc. Most guys do that stuff to some degree, but macho guys never turn it off.

I second this. My college buddies and are definitely duuuuuudes, but it does turn off, and it doesn’t get filthy. Some of the dude stuff includes facetious bragging, making up confusing explanations for strangers, making absolutely anything into a competition, watching action movies, self conscious/mocking headbanging. That’s just our stuff, you may have others. Oh, and most of them really like beer; one even brews his own. I’m the odd one out, in that it’s pretty much all the same to me.

Did you ever watch Batman? Does Batman ever, EVER, hop in the Batmobil and then back out of the driveway, then reverse to go to fight the Joker? No he does not. A man knows that a some point, the alarm will sound and he’ll need to hop in the Batmobil, BatBoat, BatMower and go fight crime and when that happens, he has to be able to just take off.

Dammit, Zebra! Some of the stuff in this thread was pushing the line, but THIS?
YOU TOLD!!! :eek:

That is a little odd. It is probably one of the following.
He is worried that he is getting a huge boner and that you may faint.
He is trying to draw attention to your penis, as he wants you pay a lot of attention to it.
He is three years old.

How about:
He’s worried that he’s getting a huge boner and that HE may faint, from the blood loss in his upper body when it rushes to the nether regions?
Honestly, I see this all the time on the train, and from now on I’m going to be assuming it’s the “three years old” explanation. Awesome.
So…my question’s already been answered. Yeah. Next!!

Now, you’ve missed some key issues here.
-
Finishing the OJ means dealing with the empty OJ container. That might actually involve rinsing it out in some cases, and will definitely involve evaluating whether this is one of those cases. Just not being a pig about it and leaving some jusice for someone else (someone not very thristy) relieves you of the need to do this.
-
There is a limit to how much OJ you can drink before you have to get a glass. And no one wants to do that.
[/QUOTE]
Plus you have to decide which garbage bag that container goes into. It’s waxed cardboard with a plastic knob… so does it go to regular? Paper? Containers?
My nephew isn’t even 2yo but he already seems to be fascinated by female asses. One of my cousins was the terror of the public pool at age 3; he would run up to women and pull down the bottom of their bathsuits. Another one would stare at women’s chests as they walked by while still a toddler, but this got excused by the grown women (they thought he still identified them with food, I wasn’t so sure even then). At what age do you remember your first sexual thoughts? How long have you known which kind of body you find attractive?
Sexual thoughts in 2nd-3rd grade (~ age 7-9), towards girls my own age, give or take. As I got older, the girls to whom I was attracted aged right along with me (and the range spread out as well). I remember finding it amusing that many people thought I would find teenage girls or adult women hot. Eww! Not so much! Excuse me, that person is more than twice my size.

I know–I’m trying to raise two cultured gentlemen.
I can see what you mean about macho guys never turning it off, but there are subsets to that, no?
<sigh> I guess this means that you all are just as complex and different as women are from each other, dammit!
What is slot car racing? Is it like Fussball? (I’m pretty good at Fussball).

My memories of early childhood are pretty fuzzy but I definetly had sexual thoughts by age 4 or 5. I may have earlier but have forgotten.
But I do recall my nephews feeling up my wife and playing it off as a joke, but I have also seen a comedian doing a routine about coming home and finding his 3 or 4 year old daughter playing with her private parts on the living room floor.
For me, body type isn’t that much of an issue, it is certain behaviors.
