This is Seth Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 And the wardrobe thing is great. What am I going to wear to work tomorrow? (Grabs random shirt). Yeah, that'll do. I'm baffled by the shoe thing as well - I'm unusual for a man in that I have about five pairs. And one of those really needs throwing out.Truth time; I have upwards of 15 pairs of shoes. They have their own cupboard... I may have to go the opposite of some of the comments. Yes, it's great to be able to stumble out of the house in a shirt and random jeans any day of the year. But, there is nothing more manly for me than looking good in a power tie and a sharp cut suit. Making moves is manly. Quote You ever see those guys who look like they totally used to be in shape? I'm working to get back to that... Link to comment

I've found that as I lost weight and got fitter my grooming and clothing skills increased as well. I still wear the jeans and polos most days but I've started to wear slacks and polos and the occasional button down to work. (Still need to work on getting a new suit since my old one is way too big with no hope of tailoring to fix it)It's a confidence thing.

bprime Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 That I used to be able to freak out my ex-wife by throwing my ex-wife *way* high into the air while she screamed happily. Good times.T,FTFYI enjoy having 3 pairs of jeans that can last me for two weeks without having to wash, and not needing a walk-in closet to house my clothes.The fact that just about ANY sport is simply BUILT into my DNA. I can throw a spiral without thinking about it.Peeing standing up, as said before, is quite awesome indeed. I should appreciate it more than I do.Also, we get to enjoy boobs. Boobs are awesome.All of this. Except for basketball. I'm 5'7 and white. I'm simply not equipped for that sport.We get to enjoy boobs too . They are there 24/7 Ok I'm leaving , sorry ..Yeah, but it's like a treat for us. Literally like unwrapping Christmas presents. Eating. So many girls eat salads and just blech. I lift hard, I eat whatever the hell I want, and while I don't have a six pack *yet*, I still look pretty good naked. Nine pounds of pulled pork in the crock pot? Yes please. Quote My life.

161803398874989 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Rational thinking, peeing standing up, larger potential for strength gains...But most of all the fact that my hair is like it is now when I get out of bed in the morning. I need 5 minutes tops if I have to put in my contacts.

Suominatua Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 That girls are, for the majority, attracted to our sex is a bonus ^u^And... you know how females have more 'grey matter' in their brain which allows them the ability to multi-task better? Yeah, I got like zilch because I have no multi-tasking ability at all. Not that I mind too much as the trade off is that I have a focus that can allow me to pick up a subject faster than some (but of course, this is generalizations, as the ratios and inner workings of the brain shift between each individual)On a final note, yes, peeing standing up is very worthwhile. Makes it much easier to be a 'woodsman' and go camping an the like. The Girl-scouts are nice and all, but they can't compare to the ruggedness of the Boyscouts (I'm an Eagle Scout).Oh, and if I ever get teleported back in time I can both not fear sexual discrimination AND start a revolution for women's rights all at the same time ^.^ (as opposed to a woman who would have a much more difficult time if they were teleported back in time) Quote Link to comment

AKLulu Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 The ability to take rodents and spiders outside without shrieking and maybe even tearing up. The ability to change a lightbulb or the brakes on my car. Okay, I've tried to refrain from posting here (out of respect for this being a men's thread), but this one just cracked me up! I used to have to kill spiders for my guy friends in college... not all guys can handle spiders and rodents(and not all girls freak out). Also, I'm not a pro at working on cars AT ALL (I wish I knew more, but have yet to learn), but I can change my lights and tires at least. I could even put them on the rims if I had the right tools... but I may be an anomaly.Also, for the record, I'm glad I was never a girl scout. I can go without showering for a week as well as any guy.... and face a grizzly bear if I have to.

Thrillho Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 My wife is quite anomalous. She made our bed (literally... made it, out of dimensional wood and lag screws and glue and a really nice faux-antique finish), fixed our dryer (took it apart and put it back together) and she manages a 38 acre farm. And she still screams and makes me goosh spiders that are the size of a grain of rice. Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.
