Yes, many men also spread the harmful ideology of “toxic masculinity”. They think it will make them look good for strange ideologically liberal women with many cats. Not a fan.

That’s such a great parody of kook-wing idiocy! 😃
I mean, I know absolutely no one that weird caricature applies to, and there are counterexamples galore, and still the idiocracy drag it out again and again. You’d think there was some ability to learn from experience even in that group, but no.

What do I have to do to look good for strange ideologically liberal women with a couple of cats? Would spreading an ideology of “noxious masculinity” work for that? Maybe “septic masculinity”? I mean, I am interested in looking good for strange ideologically liberal women, but there is such a thing as too many cats.

I’d start w/ a decent shave.

Okay, done. And, even though you didn’t mention it, I went ahead and brushed my teeth; I hope that’s okay. Also, just to confirm, this is to look good for strange ideologically liberal women with a couple of cats and not strange ideologically liberal women with many cats, right? I want to make sure I impress the right strange ideologically liberal women.

Ohhhhh, I’m sorry; I thought you were trying to attract a strange ideologically liberal cat w/ a couple of women. This is awkward.

I would advise against attempting to shave cats. I was hospitalized that way once. :eek:

Phew, I’m glad I found this out now. Having a date sneak out the bathroom window to get away from me is bad enough. Having one sneak out through a pet flap would be downright humiliating.

Alright, you got me laughing w/ that mental picture. ‘Where’d my date go? She said she’d only be a minute in the kitchen.’ /Cut to frantically swinging pet flap.
You didn’t really have a date sneak out the bathroom window, did you?

Fortunately, no. But in college, I did have a woman decide half way through a date that she would rather be on a date with a different guy. A guy she met at the party we were at.

Vet visits and sedation are recommended, And the vet may insist that \*you \*be the one to try and get him back in the carrier to go home. [The result can be cute, though.](http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b305/Bookkeeper2/Zen%20shaved%202017-07-22s.jpg)

That’s like leaving your trade-in idling in the parking lot while you drive off in a new car.
