Just Man Up Already

It's fair to say I'm all about the manly man.  You know, meat and potatoes, flannel shirts, a little scruff on the face.  I like a beer drinker, a video game player, an avid sports fan.  My man goes to work wearing a uniform most days.  Uniforms are hot.  Need I say more?  

Now that we've got that established let me commence with the girly man bashing.  This post was inspired by a girly man at work who appeared at the coffee bar alongside me last week.  I'm there pouring my perfect cup of black coffee.  Meanwhile girly man pours himself a cup which includes 4 creamers and 3 sugar packets.  THREE sugar packets into a cup no more than 10oz.  Seriously dude why even bother.  On another note, you're lucky were in a professional environment otherwise I'd have been laughing my butt off out you and yelling MAN UP! 

Same goes for men who carry "man bags".  Let's call them what they are PURSES.  Unless your going to work with your "laptop bag" or your on daddy duty and are carrying a "diaper bag", it's a purse buddy.  Do you carry your lip gloss in that man bag of yours?

Manscaping, I mean wtf?  I'm all for the basic trimming of nails, haircuts and a shave.  Maybe even a facial once in your lifetime, but come on guys.  I don't want to see you at the spa getting waxed.  It's just weird. 

On a side note, any word you try to throw a "man" in front of to make sound more manly is just plain ridiculous.

The tight tee.  D and I have this long running joke about the way most mannequins are dressed in the men's section at department stores.  "Is that what a MAN should look like", and then we laugh hysterically  Between the skinny jeans, the tight tees and the cardigans.  Good lord.  And tank tops, don't even get me started there.

What do you think?  Do you prefer a manly man or do you find yourself drawn to men who are a little less rough around the edges?  And ladies, if your guys carries a manbag or manscapes, I need to hear from you?  Help me understand this ridiculousness.  Until next time.  XO

Kathy, thank you as always for the good time that is Humpday!  I'm obviously not alone.  This bitch woke up early to get this up and linked and I'm still number 47.
