Non-Macho Things Men Hate To Do


They maybe simple creatures. But never simple minded.

Downsizing
Size matters. He knows it is the only way to economize on gas. But giving up the big bike or trading in the ego boosting 4x4 for a cost-effective car is a matter of life and death. Unless it is a sleek, compact sports car.

Bling Bling
A diamond ear stud, a pair of cufflinks and a wedding band is more than enough.

Dancing
Ask him and he immediately turns into solid block of wood. The brain and body coordination suddenly goes awry and the logic of left and right ceases to exist.

Waxing
The trendsetting metro sexual grooming market is hitting sales up to the millions. But male grooming for him is a good bath, nice smooth shaven face and a splash of musky aftershave cologne. He leaves the plucking and the waxing to the opposite sex.

Crying
Only if someone kicks him on the balls.

Self Indulgence
Letting him sit for hours in a spa wrapped in a pink fluffy bathrobe while having his feet and hands done, is tantamount to torture. All he needs is a pocketknife!

Colorful World
He may have style but has a wardrobe only a colorblind would love. Black suits, white shirts, black stripes, gray trousers, black tees, charcoal socks, and the ubiquitous blue jeans. Crimson necktie, lilac shirts, printed colored underwear, shimmers and glitters are absolutely way out of his fashion comfort zone.

Going To Church
The hugging, holding hands and sitting in circles discussing each other's feelings drive him insane.

Shopping
Ever wonder why the men’s wear section is always on the ground floor just a few meters away from the entrance?

Hmmm...Well, here's my version.

Downsizing:
For me, downsizing means my "Mr Wiggley" will need a little help from viagra in a few years.

Otherwise, I've always wanted a Harley but, never gonna happen. I've also wanted to have a big old, high ridder 4x4 but only to run over and crush the cars of idiots and old farts in front of me who can't drive. Other than that, they're useless.

Bling Bling:
I have an assortment of watches, all relatively inexpencive but, that's about it.

Dancing:
No comment cause I REFUSE!!!

Waxing:
SWEET GEEZUS Boysie!!! I thought you meant waxing my car (although I can almost part my back hair) :(

Crying:
Happens now and then but, it comes with the territory when you have chronic depression.

Self Indulgence:
Does that include hobbies? If not, how about sex?

Colorful World:
I have 2 gray, a red and a blue muscle shirt (minus the muscle), a blue t-shirt with Cleveland Indians (baseball) a brown one with Cleveland Browns, and a blue/greenish one with Miami Dolphins (NFL). Is that enough or should I list my "dress-em-up" clothes too?

Going To Church:
Donno why but, every time I walk into one, I get a strange fear of being struck by lightning.

Shopping:
Does being granted bankruptcy because of massive debt from all kinds of credit and store cards fit into this catagory?

I'm not sure if all this is macho or dim wittedness.
