Manhood at stake?

I don't like watching sports.
Basketball, Football, Basewall, Soccer, Nascar whatever. They just can't hold my attention for more than a few minutes.
Playing those sports is different. I enjoy that.
I don't like the taste of beer.
I've only tried a Budlight and another beer that I couldn't remember.
I go for the Mikes Hard Lemonade, or Smirnoff Triple Black.
I'm not a big cusser.
So, it seems like I strike out on the three stereotypical measures of manhood.Only place I seem to be doing well in is the woman catching place. I love my wife. :D
So, any freaks like me?
Or anyone feel like taking pity on a poor soul and saying I don't have to like the above three and I can still be a man? :hiding: :)

Man, I am almost exactly like that, except that I tend to cuss alot, and absolutly love the taste of beer :)

I think I'm gonna grab one now, actually...:cool:

I am definitely not into the Macho thing..

I cant stand sports. I dont drink alcohol whatsoever. I do sometimes swear, but would like to stop altogether. I am "handy around the house" but sometimes make a mess of things. I'm not into cars, but I am mechanically inclined if it saves me a few dollars. Oh yeah, I dont eat meat or hunt so I guess that makes me "girlie" too!

I've actually had people ask me if I'm gay because I dont like sports or drinking or meat.

I do love a great action film, and would *almost* rather go to the dentist than watch a romance film. I do very much appreciate the physical form of a great looking woman ; )
Oh yeah, and I like to ROCK!

Its hard to be Canadian and not like hockey. I get ribbed for that one fairly often!

I would comment, but I work in a building with an 80% female workforce. I think that means I have a pink-collar job.

Any time someone tries ro question my manliness, or macho-ness, or what have you based on my ambivalence about sports, mainstream beer, or anything else, I ask them how many burning buildings THEY'VE gone into to rescue someone, or how many wounded marines they've slung over their shoulder or something like that.

I look like the Sta-Puft Marshmallow man nowadays, but I'm pretty sure I've covered all my lifetime requirement of manly points.

Follow up question, do you have any showtunes on your MP3 player? :p

No doubt many TB'ers have show tunes on their Mp3 players since Porter, Rogers and Gershwin wrote a lot of classic musical numbers that became jazz standards. 'Course, they probably aren't the Bob Goulet and Ethel Merman versions...

Well there's that mystery solved...American beer tastes like chilled pee (hey, this is a family forum) and BudLight is among the worst.

Try drinking proper beer, like Boddingtons, Caffreys or a real ale or Westcountry cider from your local British pub :)

Next time I'm in England, I'll shell out a few pounds for some good English beer. Until then...What about Heiniken, Rolling Rock, Red Dog, Blue Moon, Guinness?

watching sports
drinking beer
swearing

these are not characteristics of masculinity! :) although they're all fun at the right times, they're sometimes used as replacements for masculine traits by guys who can't manage the real alpha male traits...

think about it, not everyone can easily be calm under pressure, muscular, well groomed, attractive to women, brave etc, but any man can buy a 6-pack of beer, switch on the TV to watch the game and swear at the referee while doing it...

don't believe me...? ok let's try this... if you see 2 guys, one is drunk on beer, swearing his ass off talking about the game to his buddies... and one is smiling, sober, an attractive woman on each arm... which ones shoes do you think other guys would want to be in?

I think I threw up a little in my mouth, swallowed it, looked at the picture again and threw up again.

Then I was dumb enough to look at the video. Hmm...beginning to wonder about you. First Fabio and the this video? You big man loving man you.

That depends. Is the guy with the 2 girls gay or not?
