Well that’s all fine and good if you get yourself a dyke, but what if you’re stuck with a ‘lipstick’ lesbian? That’s like a metrosexual, but without that handy penis!
I definitely lean towards the manly man side. It’s safer to get a “metrosexual” fix from your friends than to fill the role of hot, hunky, burly armed, lusty sex outside of your relationship. Truth be told, I’m not into all of the primping sort of activities, but have missed the finer intellectual traits that can be lacking in the manly man. Never have found one that can play both roles.
I believe many people in this thread are mistakingly referring to that man as “geek.”
I’d take a A MANLY MAN, definetly, over a metrosexual (puke) any day! 
Hey, if we’re going extremist stereotypes, all the lesbians are dykes. But if we’re choosing between manly man, metrosexual, butch, and femme, I gotta go with the butch.
I agree, I don’t like the stereotyping here.
Well guys…what’ll it be? A squeaky clean prudish bitch that only fucks once in a blue moon (and would rather not) or a skanky ass slut that smells like rotten fish who fucks everything in her sight.
C’mon now it’s just for fun.
Yeah but it’s insulting to the guys who work hard for a living and do sweat and get dirty. I’ve done it for years. Me with a damned Master’s degree and once a teacher. I was raised on a farm/ranch and worked hard all of my life. The past few years I’ve been in construction because it paid better than teaching.
I came home everyday and the first thing I did was to take a shower and change clothes then I’d hug/kiss my wife and children.
I used to hunt and fish everyday…not only watched sports but was active in sports. I can fix a car or build a fence and once broke horses for a living. We can go out for dinner, me in a suit and tie or I’ll cook something for you. I did for my wife and kids every evening when I got home.
You wanna talk about the garden, our future or philosophy… that’s fine too. I swept my wife off her feet and I’m what most folks would call very manly. I’m sometimes wrong but will admit to it and say I’m sorry. I will bring you flowers just because I was thinking about you.
AND I will kick any SOB’s ass that tries to hurt you. If there’s anything you want or need all you have to do is let me know. You don’t even have to ask, just let me know.
Hairy? I’ve got a beard and moustache…but I’m not some kind of Neanderthal. Do I stink? Sometimes but usually not for very long. I have been known to come home at lunch to get a shower. If I’m lucky my woman will be home for a little rough and tumble. 
Prudish or skanky? If that’s all I have to choose from?
Then it’d be NEITHER. I’d rather have a real woman. Not some stereotype.
Okay, y’all can go back to your poll.
I thought the whole point of the poll was that it was purely hypothetical, since one could probably search the world and not find anyone who conformed exactly to the stereotypes, since they’re stereotypes.
Perhaps I was wrong.
Gee. I have five tattooes, my ears pieced, and a tongue piercing…
Oh… and I doubt that I’d ever be mistaken for a metrosexual… I own and know how to use powertools and can strip a computer in minutes.
Just as the stereotypes of gay men are quite narrow, I don’t think metrosexuals are as effete as they’re being portrayed in this thread.
Well that one’s easy. The madonna for wife, the whore for lover. umm… :eek:
Harimad-sol
It doesn’t make it less insulting though.
You know how insulting it is to even imply that… all black people are (fill in the blank)
or how about all Arabs are…what?
Hmm, how about all gays are…
I have tried all of my life to fight the ignorance that “innocent” stereoptypes encourage, despite being raised amongst them. There was a thread awhile back saying the French were basically, a bunch of cowards. It was said in jest but had bad timing. Perhaps it would be better to let these things go by unchallenged. I’m not going to go on a rant regarding the OP.
I know it is a hypothetical example. It is also IMHO. I just wanted to say my peace, lest anyone truly ignorant should read this thread and believe the stereotype. There are a lot of people who lurk on these boards. I have actually known some guys that come close to this description. I don’t recall any women being present however. 
Okay, Harimad-sol don’t sweat it…real manly men don’t read, correct?
Rune I think that’s kinda what the ladies are saying regarding the OP. Some even would rather be alone than deal with the choices given. I think a good woman could actually clean the Neanderthal up and maybe teach him some manners. The other guy will never grow any balls however. Sorry folks but that’s just the way I see it.
Mockingbird Why you old pirate…tats and rings? You don’t ever wear a scarf or boots do ya?
I wear nothing at all, which my guy seems to like. Go fig.
No problem, t-keela. I agree with you.
Cleaning up the Neanderthal guy is not such a bad idea, though it may be a major project. Where’s that scrub brush?
I’ve got some leather chaps and vest I’ll loan ya just for something different. I’ll keep the spurs and whip though.
Harimad-sol scrub brush? How 'bout an automatic car wash for starts.
I married a manly-man stinky (hairy) bloke. If left to himself he would have showered once a week. He was Scottish and claimed it was traditional :D.
Never underestimate how easy it is to bribe the manly-man. He showered at least 5 days a week.
Ah, but the hand-held scrub brush is ever so much more personal!
Car wash idea duly noted, however.
Oh boy. Give me a dime for all the times I’ve heard of a woman who married a good looking guy with a highly undesirable character because she figured she could change him – and failed miserable, and I’ll buy me a yacht and cruise the Mediterranean for a few years.
Rune see kiwi’s post…she knows what I’m talkin aboot.
We’re not changin’ the man. Just cleanin him up. There was a movie once upon a time wit James Stewart and Bryan Keith…this thread kinda reminds me of that movie.
I don’t do spurs and my riding crop is more than satisfactory, but thanks for the offer.
