The Lost Art of Manliness

Your point?

...to be fair, though...my goretex coat and overpants I wear in the cold and rain ain't too sexy or 'manly' looking...

I wear full riding gear as well, a Tourmaster mesh suit and a Shoei full-face. The jeans and the leather fashion jacket are carried as luggage. That way when I am at the destination for the day I can change into something more decent instead of the Power Ranger look lol

I'll PM you a link where you can read some of my ride reports over at ADVrider.

That is the point, it's fiction.

Do you really find things so self-evident, M8? Because that can be a manly pose, too. "Never complain, never explain."

For the eggheads looking in: Zen mixes with motorcycles. Foucault doesn't.

Well, that clears it up.

M8: I don't know. Sandra gravitated to you because she heard the words motorcycle and Mexico ...

Maybe she was just randy at that moment. [huh] It happens.

Of course. But it happens a lot less often to guys in tweeds, or even leather and tweeds.

Stereotypes have a social power that being yourself - if you happen not to fit stereotypes - can't begin to approach.

Here we go, it has started, all the rationalizations are now coming forth. Yeppers, no wonder there has been a loss of the art of manliness. LMAO!

I am giggling that half of you think its related to appearance...half of you don't....and half of you are arguing for a more manly man...and half are arguing for more sensitivity..


no wonder why people write books....you are all confused.

I'm only arguing one thing: that ladies can be randy at times. Manly or not, it helps to be on the right barstool at that time -- and to say "yeppers".

....and to say "yeppers".

Maybe it's just me, but the image that brings to mind is that of a freckle-faced ten year old. In short pants.

alas...in this case we have no concrete evidence that she was interested in anything more then planning out her next vacation to Mexico.


*This is of course since M6 is seemingly a gentleman and not divulging.

This thread was crying out for some intentional silliness.
