They don't?

I mean, of course not. Never did!

I cry a lot. I actually think my personality is more like a woman than a man, if such a thing means anything.

RE: girlish girls, manly men.
Hah! Me too*. I took a test on Facebook to tell me what percent my brain works like a man and what percent like a woman. I came out 100% like a woman. I was so surprised because I would not have thought any of my answers were stereotypically feminine in any way. Does make wonder what to hell the people who designed the test were huffing. I wonder if anyone has ever put a thing like that up on Facebook deliberately turned around just to fuck with people.

I mean the personality being like a woman part, not the crying. Still ain't no sissy. Wink

RE: girlish girls, manly men.
Hehe, it's kinda bizarre because my wife is a tomboy. Some weird switcharoo going on. She slaps me around like the pathetic monkey man I am.

Is there a name for the male equivalent to tomboy?

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Funny story. When I first started gardening I noticed I had a real aversion to pink flowers. Never used them in my garden, yuck. But over time I did finally just start seeing it as a color. Looks a particular way with other colors. Pink with orange is probably the most retina seeding combination going.

Can't find a prime example to show that but you get a sense of it in this one.

I don't know why this is a girly vs manly thing.

BUT
at the same time I hate some typical girlish things girls do.

At the top of the list, because it's what inspired this thread to begin with, is the use of motivational sentimental quotes.

Time and time again on any basically any computer or phone thing where statuses can be typed out (whatsapp, camfrog, blackberry messenger) I see girls with over sentimental, sickening, corny messages like the following


And


I just had to wipe the bits of sick off my keyboard after searching and copying and pasting those.

I don't think stuff like that is girlish.

Being able to say "I just miss you" doesn't make a man effeminate. It makes him forthright.

Maybe this is a little hangover from being taught that boys don't cry?

The message isn't actually forthrightly presented to a person, which is a bit of the annoying part of it in my opinion.
If I miss someone I DEFINITELY tell them you miss them, I've told girls I miss how they smell I miss how they feel I miss how they sound.
But I didn't put a status on a social media program broadcast to everyone saying "I miss how you feel, how you smell, how you sound". I just simply txt that one individual person a message to their phone or called them on the phone. No one else saw it or had to look at it and wonder who I was talking about.
Also these messages aren't forthright from the person to another person, they are usually made up by someone online, typed up in a nice font with some fancy graphics behind the font, put on a website where people download these images then the images are used as profile photos on things like whatsapp, probably on facebook even though I don't have facebook I imagine they get used on there even more.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I cry stuff all.

I have been told I'm emotionless by some people. Then I hit them.

I have the full range of emotions: Rage. Anger. Hate.
