Still here, I have no problem defending my position sugar-honey
I play video games. I check facebook several times a day.
However my doing (or not doing) of those things doesn’t define me as a man.
Any anyone who uses those things, or things they perceive to be feminine or masculine as a barometer of who is manly and who isn’t is an idiot.
I’m not that into sports. Does that make me less manly?
I do watch MMA, and am regularly trying to take Martial Arts classes. How 'bout now? Manly? Not manly?
I don’t fish, and while I would like to learn, I have not yet gone hunting. Less manly?
I’m also a pretty damn good shot with a rifle. Given the proper tools, doing center mass shots on a silhoutte at 500 meters all day long is super fun. (side note: I was taught to shoot by my mother) Manly? Less Manly?
This is not (thank god) the 1950’s. Get over it.
PS- Farmville=video games. Facebook games=video games. Angry Birds is a video game.
ETA: You’re not defending a damn thing. You’re making statements, and not backing them up with anything. I think you fight like a girl. 
Real men don’t play the Feminazi card when they are losing.
How appropriate: You fight like a cow.
No… wait…
It’s just been revoked!
Damn… what?
I check facebook several times a day.
-major point loser

I like where this thread is going.
ITT: chick doesn’t understand effect of ultimatums on men.
Love it. Of course Real men do not play Playstation- If you disagree make your own list pal. We must live in parallel universes.
Real men are Scotsmen.
You’re right, real men play Wii. Because they were boys when the NES was out and now that they own a Wii 20 years later they’re god damn men.
Do any of the other real men in this thread want to take some bets on when scamartisty will get banned?
Banned for not liking Super Mario Bros. Let me be a martyr sir
Real men have penises. I am not willing to be flexible on this, no way, good sir!
:checks pants:
Phew.
Uh. Real men should also be sure they have a penis before the pants-checking. However, I can bend on this a little, I suppose… :dubious:
Knowledge of internet memes. That’s a paddlin’. I mean, weak male/feminist trait.
Real men don’t let attacks on their manhood ruffle them.
Unless it’s, you know, an actual attack on the actual manhood. Then all bets are off.
Who’s ruffled? Real men love to gamble.
Sigh. Yes, you (and others here) are correct, but I’d hoped that by specifically mentioning “heavy metal & progressive rock” along with “lists of the best guitarists/drummers” it would be clear I was talking about rock/pop music. And in the world of rock/pop, the audiences for metal and progressive rock are overwhelmingly male. Guys will tell their friends about a band they like by saying something like, “Dude, you have got to hear this guitarist! He shreds!” I’ve never heard a woman say something like that. Women say, “I really like/don’t like this singer.” Heck, “I can’t stand Geddy Lee’s voice” is the universal first answer given by every woman asked if she likes Rush. Okay, to be fair, an awful lot of men say the same thing, but it’s more often qualified: “I just wish they had a singer I could listen to, because those guys can play!”
I spend a lot of time on YouTube, and one interesting thing I’ve noticed is that shredding female guitarists, drummers, and bassists are still such a novelty that the titles on the videos they post will almost always point out that it’s a girl doing it.
lol, I used to watch Port Charles when it was on, but these days following a soap would lose out to playing Warflow. And I don’t believe in Facebook, I prefer Dreamwidth (though I’m not on every day), or–well, I loathe tumblr less. I barely check my email, no time for chain letters.
If by horoscope you mean the newspaper astrological forecast–all sun signs & generalizations, yeah, I mostly ignore that. I have a friend who actually pays attention to his planets & houses, though. When Rock Star was on, several years ago, you bet I voted; I don’t usually watch those shows now (too emotional! [why yes, I do have a moon in Pisces!]).
And there’s no way I’m up to date on whom celebrities are “dating.” Too many to keep track of, & a lot of it is either something made up for publicity or something guessed at by voyeurs.
I read shoujo manga. I used to have Neopets. I can be such a ten-year-old girl.
Fine, don’t take me seriously.
