aak. I'll get back to ya when the nausea passes...

*urp*

the 21st-century man who "no longer wants to be the family super-hero", but instead has the guts to be himself, to test his own limits.

Once again, it's all about "ME." These people have no concept of what it takes to be a man. Masculinity seems to be about as dead there as morality.

Loved the photo accompanying that article. The guy looked like Will Farrell's confirmed-bachelor brother, the elf who was never, ever going to get married. And the outfit was fabulous.

Except spiders, mice, and vaginas. LOFL

You forgot snakes, Ace. But not of the trouser kind.

Any woman who wants a guy like that is not worth my time as a partner or an acquaintance. And any woman that wants to be traded, swapped, or wants to share her man with anyone other than her sister ain't my type either.

Disco died but I guess the flowered silk shirts and the studio 54's have been resurrected.

Masculinity seems to be about as dead there as morality.

It's not dead brak. There are two words I have said to many women I know that cause tiny, multiple orgasms at their mere mention. Sam Elliott.

Not for nothing, but none of the women I know would be caught dead with a pansy like that. They don't want some "sensitive" metrosexual who whines that his exfoliation was too harsh. That's their schtick. They want someone who can handle it when the toliet explodes. They want someone who can walk them to their car in the middle of the night who'll make the mugger/rapist think twice about messing with them. They want someone who can provide for and protect their children. Not someone who'll cry more than the kids. They want someone to say "Who gives a shit what they think" when their co-workers rag on their month-out-of-sytle outfits.
This hybrid-man is gonna be stilborn.

OMG... Just saw this on Drudge and was hoping it got noticed here.

Loved the bit in the article about the struggling fashion industry getting a handout from the EU.

Just one more nail in the coffin...

You think there might be a correlation between the fact that the "traditional man still exists in China" and the fact the China is on track to bury Europe in terms of economic growth, scientific output and military strength?

Nahhh

Just a coincidence.

Shit. I was in Paris last week and one day I wore a pink t-shirt. Good thing I banged the wife extra hard while we were there.

A friend of mine spent a month or so in Paris last year. When she got back I asked her how she liked it, and she said, "The city wasn't even a tenth as romantic as I expected. And the French men aren't even a tenth as appealing as they think."

Ken J, you just made coke come out of my nose. You got to give us some warning before you detonate a comment like that.

I don't know if I laughed moreat the picture of this guy or the headline "Global Warming biggest threat we face" on Drudge.

Here's your warning: Don't snort coke while reading Ace of Spades.

The otherwise-medicre movie "Bedazzled" had a hilarious scene along those lines. For those of you that haven't seen it, it involved a guy who makes a deal with the devil where he gets wishes granted and he uses them to try to attract a girl he's interested in. For one of the wishes he becomes the sensitive guy she says she wants. She likes it and goes out for him a while, but soon can no longer stand him weeping at sunsets, etc., and leaves with someone more masculine.

They want someone to say "Who gives a shit what they think" when their co-workers rag on their month-out-of-sytle outfits.

Heh. Yep, I say that all the time. The funny thing the person that didn't like their outfit is usually someone they don't particularly care for in the first place, thus making it doubly confusing to me why they're worried about this worthless opinion.

I can't account for the men, but the women in Paris were fantastic. Or it could be because I live in the Pacific NW, home to the homliest women in America, and just average looking women seemed stunning.

For the record, I was born in California.

I thought I wrote homliest people in America, not just homliest women. That's why that California remark is in there. Sorry for the seeming non-sequiter.

Arnold Schwarznegger and Sylvester Stallone are being replaced by the 21st-century man who "no longer wants to be the family super-hero", but instead has the guts to be himself, to test his own limits.

To test his own limits? Limits how, like how much his ass can accomodate? How long he can stay on his knees?

Euro-pussies.

Limits how, like how much his ass can accomodate?

Goatse!

I was born and raised in Wyoming, spent a lot of time in Colorado, and currently live in southern Minnesota. This dude would get his ass kicked in about three seconds in any of those places, and by the gals rather than the guys. The ladies dig NASCAR, football, huntin' and fishin', jeans and flannel shirts.

On the other hand, he'd fit right in in San Fran.

(Huh-huh-huh. I said "fit right in". And the dude looks, you know, gay.)

...as seen already in recent seasons on the catwalks of Paris and Milan.

Oh yeah, I mean I look around me and I'm always struck by what I see on the catwalks of Paris and Milan becomes the reality on the street. Like, I'm always seeing women wearing cotton balls or hard plastic geometric boob covers and such. Please.

Plus, the clown in the picture doesn't even know which side of a set of suspenders goes in the back. I don't think this advice is going to get much play.

If male hetereosexuality is dead in France, I say good! Have you smelled any of those guys?

It looks like France is even more behind the times than Ace is, check this out.

"41 percent of women said their ideal man spends his time watching sports."
"90 percent of women said they prefer low-maintenance, easygoing guys. "

Hey Ace-- my subscription to Everything I Ever Needed To Know I Learned From Mad Max Movies ran out.

What was in the last issue? Not another one of those polls on "Which Mohawk Is Right For You?", or "How Long Does It Really Take To Hack Through A Human Leg? Our Experts Find Out."

Help a brother out.

Cheers,
Dave at Bartertown

My husband loved that magazine. In the back it was all ads for kits and plans on how to customize various automobiles into warrior vehicles.

I confess that I found the rear dart gun useful for discouraging tailgaters, but it just didn't look right on a Mitsubishi.

What I love about Everything I Ever Needed To Know I Learned From Mad Max Movies are the fashion reports. Here for instance is a picture from that latest show in Paris.

There are two words I have said to many women I know that cause tiny, multiple orgasms at their mere mention. Sam Elliott.

Damn, now I need a cigarette.

That was me, so flustered I forgot to sign my name.

Dropped my subscription after the article on Assless Chaps.

Macho man is an endangered species

No, it's extinct.

But only in France.

LD:

Just out of curiousity, will your wrestler girlfriends get all flustered and helpless at the mention of Sam Elliott?

Yet another reason to absolutely hate the french.

Honestly Carin, do we really need *another* reason?

Honestly Carin, do we really need *another* reason?

Dave, we actually need 2 more to complete the 2006 "A Reason A Day To Hate The French" calendar.

Later,
bbeck

I hope this means more edible underwear.

Oh. Sorry, bbeck, my bad.

By all means, offer reasons away.

bbeck:

1. Snotty waiters.

2. Jacques Chirac.

If those are taken:

3. French-speaking Canadians, who should be speaking English like normal people, and,

4. Wines that are not properly labelled by the varietal grape, rather than the region, (so you have a fair chance of knowing what you're buying), just because the French insist on being assholes.

5. John Kerry is fluent in French.

I got the low-down on this topic from my mother of all people. I noticed that she married men that were the exact opposite of what she said she wanted. So I asked her why this was. She told me it was to weed out the ones who would actually do it.

They want someone who can walk them to their car in the middle of the night who'll make the mugger/rapist think twice about messing with them.

Iblis, you're right. Having the man you love want to protect you and keep you from any harm is the most elemental, delicious feeling.

We don't want a jealous, controlling guy, but we sure don't want someone who spends more time grooming than we do!

Okay, so let me see if I've got this. I just got done wrangling horney mares in and out of my stallion's breeding pen, and some Frenchmen and fasion designers are telling me what being a man is all about? .

Ahem. Bite me you french faggots.

In other news, LGF has photos of a caterpillar tractor with an enormous erection...

Macho man is an endangered species

GOD BLESS THE USA

Manly men will never go out of style as far as I am concerned. This "study" is even more reason why we should reject the libs trying to make sissies out of boys.

Yes, now is a very good time to be a manly man. Women stop me all the time and compliment me on my man-nificent manliness. And I just smile, tip my hat, thank them and mosey along.

It's good to be a man.

And please, guys, don't stop opening doors for us girls. We really appreciate it.

Yes Maam!

A great post, Ace.
It's been amed, Bit's PoOst Of The Week.

Thank you Scot. My guy friends get frustrated when they hold a door open and some women sneer and say "I can do it myself". Well, of course we can, that's not the point. Someone's being nice and polite and chivalrous and you throw it in their face??!!

Way to go to ruin it for the rest of us.
