I like fire, heh, heh..heh heh

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RiP5cyR18s[/youtube]

Fire satisfies something very primal in me.

Other "manly" things I like to do....
Shooting guns is fun, I don't own one, but I still like them.

Sometimes I wander around home depot, just for the f'k of it. Something about tools....
BTW: Men also love shopping, we just buy different stuff. Show me something with buttons and lights, maybe an LCD display... it's sold!

Strip clubs! One feels very manly while looking at bare boobies :)

toss hooks into the water, tease aquatic animals, then pull them out and suffocate them a little, then toss them back and do it again. aka:fishing.

Enjoy a nice cigar every so often.

Watch other guys skate around on the ice and beat each other up with sticks.

Scratch myself in private places and belch.

Request that women please put the toilet seat back up when they are done.

Go look at more boobies.

Watch TV shows about explosions.

Go buy a tool I have absolutely no use for.

Eat food out of the package with my hands while standing at the refrigerator.

also...

Take responsibility for my own actions. & Be kind to women.

Aha! I eat guns and shredded metal. Then I drive sports cars and sharpen my beard with a grindstone.

I guess why there isn't a dedicated mens section like there is for women, is that us men don't relate to each other the same way.
Where women will have a deep, complex discussion about personal things.
A simple grunt & "dude.... that sucks" takes care of our male needs.
We'd have threads like:
"Excellent breasts"
and
"101 ways to get a Bar-B-Q lit"

Us men are simple creatures, and we like it that way.

I disagree, pete.

I used to be part of a men-only intentional discussion group and it was really interesting. By "intentional discussion," I mean it was kind of philosphical...we would meet once a week and talk about specific topics. At the end of every meeting, we'd decide what we were going to talk about the next week.

The surprising thing was how much we ended up talking about our feelings and vulnerabilities. Things that men are culturally trained to bottle up, to pretend they don't have. Since women are culturally trained to be "emotional caregivers," most men will only ever speak of their feelings and vulnerabilities to a woman they trust. But having those conversations in a male-only environment, people opened up a whlole lot more than they expected to. They weren't ever thinking about putting on a show to attract a potential mate. We could talk about situations where we creeped ourselves out and felt bad about it, without fear of being judged for being stupid, pig headed jerks.

It was pretty neat, really. Learned a lot about myself.

I'm not good at faking interest in anything. When Guy Talk starts I usually keep quiet. I've found that it is better this way.

How to prolong, or perhaps even rediscover, your virginity:

It's so easy. Just watch and obey this little sermon, and soon women will be fleeing from you at speeds never before recorded.

This sounds pretty fantastic, wish there was something like this where I live.

Lecks, there wasn't one where I lived at the time. I had to start it myself. It was informal, just a handful of men meeting once a week at someone's house ... whoever had the quietest house with the least distractions at the moment. Finding a place where nobody is going to interrupt you is pretty important to making it work.

Eh, I dunno. I've never felt the need to be "manly". I knew there was a difference as a kid but never put too much thought into "acting" like a guy or trying to differentiate myself from girls. So I guess I do whatever I want to regardless of whether socioty sees it as "male" or "female" only.

Second that. It must be really tiresome to always put on this macho-act in order to confirm their sexuality or whatever the reason may be. I can read an article or two in a womens magazine, I watch chick-flicks from time to time, I can even use female deodorant if thats all we have. If you think less of me for that reason then I could not care less, I'd probably not want anything to do with you anyways.

Jesus, now we're going to need a new Men's Discussion thread. THANKS! :P

I enjoy several masculine activities.

- I'm into traditional wet shaving with a razor, brush, mug, and soap.
- I'm into strength training (used to lift free weights, am now transitioning to bodyweight workouts).
- I enjoy a cigar every so often.
- I'm way into cars and motorcycles. I don't have anything cool at the moment, but it's on my to-do list.
- I used to do some shooting and look forward to getting back into it. Archery too.
- I'm a do-it-yourself guy and like doing what repairs or upgrades I can.

If there's a forum for the women, it seems reasonable for the men to have one too.

I participated in a men's forum elsewhere, and female posters were regularly popping in and sometimes taking issue with the discussion or trying to redirect it. I wondered if the same thing happened at women's forums, so I googled some and found almost no male posters.
