    Unless im living under a rock, none of what that article says holds any reality in my life or view. Maybe it’s geared more towards TikTok or younger generations. Thankfully I know nothing about that world. 

    I’d consider myself manly. I surf all the the time and am a beach bum. I would never not use sun screen. I use nothing less than 70spf. I heavily monitor what I put in my body, never smoke , never ever drink (it’s poison). Have an incredible relationship with my wife, we’ve been together for 20 years. Would never be unfaithful, to me that’s a sign of weakness. I consider sleep to be the most important aspect of my overall health. I take care of myself because I want to do what I love for as long as possible. Being active, surfing , drumming and being here as long as possible at a high level for my wife and my family. 

    I’d consider most of that article to be the opposite of manly honestly. But I could just be completely out of touch and not into trends or whatever is going on on social media, since I have none. Just my two cents. 

    your last paragraph is what I get from it.

    Yea I mean no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Making a mistake isn’t weakness. Not growing from them or making a change for the better is weakness imo.

    I can only imagine what the LOSER who wrote that nonsense looks like…..It really must suck to not ever being popular or desired by a woman to write some crap like that…. Here’s a little hint, most woman don’t like pussies and want to feel safe that their man can protect them or at least try.  

    FLAGGED.
    No one want to hear your hateful ,spiteful, venomous, and childish name calling rants.  Just take you hate and go away.  You and a small handful of people are trolling AMT for your own attention getting childish nonsense.  In case you hadn't noticed, most of the rest of the adults here would like to have a grown up conversation.  Just go, for Pete's sake, GO!
    It's an opposing view.  Let her say what she wants.  It becomes an echo chamber in here plus I need a chuckle.

    you obviously didn't read the article, as there is a very sizable picture of him IN the article itself. 

    And if you read the article, many studies have found evidence of just the opposite-"manly men" don't fare as well in relationships and, yes, sexual experiences, as "pussies". 

    You clearly don't know what "most women" want, you know what you want, and that's fine. It's just odd to be so angry and spit such vitriol at something that doesn't affect you. 

    Being "manly" is more closely associated with nonconsensual sex, intimate partner violence, not to mention suicide and other mental health challenges. And also physical health. 

    Seriously, read the article without your rage glasses on. You might learn something about how the human species continues to evolve. 
    The bolded is the least manly things anyone can do. I really don’t understand how anyone could assume otherwise.

    I don't know why people keep saying that. Even before maga/trump, we had spirited debates all the time. this place leans left, for sure, but there's LOTS of RINO's that post here and we debate with all the time. And even those that lean left will disagree with halifax all the time. lol

    I don't really see a problem with anyone here as long as personal attacks are avoided.

    We make fun of trump and they make fun of Biden/Harris. What's the diff?

    Get a grip, I was referring to the person who wrote this ridiculous article. I am allowed to have an opinion  I found stupid and did not personally attack the individual who posted it!!! Just because you don’t agree w/ my opinion, it does not give you the right to always refer to me and others as a troll…….And btw, please do not ever send me another alarming private message, that behavior alone really should get you band forever on here…

    So very strange that a man (the article's author,Timothy Caulfield) would write an article explaining what a woman (let's say lindamarie73, for example) finds attractive and desirable in a male friend. By the way, everytime I see your name in these forums, Linda Marie, it reminds me of the incredible Elvis Presley hit song from 1961 called '(And Marie's The Name Of) His Latest Flame'.


    "A very old friend
    came by today
    'Cause he was telling everyone in town
    Of the love that he'd just found.
    And Marie's the name, of his latest flame

    He talked and talked and I heard him say
    That she had the longest, blackest hair
    The prettiest green eyes anywhere
    And Marie's the name of his latest flame."

    Mahalo


    Seriously. Get help. Congrats Linda, you didn't attack the "individual who posted" the article but you folks come into a liberal forum not to discuss policies to make our lives better but "opinions" that certain ideas are"stupid, by losers, by pussies that will never be desired by others."

    You are 100% emulating the hate we all get from your leader. You don't get it. How bands like Pearl Jam believe we should treat one another.

    Exactly,.

    I've had enough.  Either the trolls go, or I go, but not voluntarily.  I'm over it with the trolling.  The mods will have to decide this.  And I have already sent them apologies for have to deal with all this bullshit.  But it's time to put an end to this once and for all.  They are trolls.  They know it.  We know it.  The adults here want to have an adult conversation, not a food fight with adult children.  Trolling is out of bounds here.  Let's put and end to it and make this right.  I'm willing to stake my membership on this one if that's what it takes.  I will support Pearl Jam in other ways if I have to.  Enough.
    As I always say, the hypocrisy of this place knows no bounds…
    So What about my Apology???
    I can’t wait to have my Thanksgiving meal at the kids table tomorrow, they are always a lot more fun and accepting to everyone.  Adults really can SUCK.

    Unfortunately half the country is totally fine with putting that person in charge of the USA...and in turn he's asking for SecDef to be run by a similar person.

    as you said, you haven't seen social media culture defines "manly" now. It's a good looking Neanderthal, to put it as simply as I can.

    What is a man?  I don't know, pay your bills, love your family, open/hold a door for someone?  My girl does feel safe around me.  Why? because I know how to carry myself, not because I'm a Neanderthal and threaten to thump anyone that comes by, lol.

    No one want to hear your hateful ,spiteful, venomous, and childish name calling rants.  Just take you hate and go away.  You and a small handful of people are trolling AMT for your own attention getting childish nonsense.  In case you hadn't noticed, most of the rest of the adults here would like to have a grown up conversation.  Just go, for Pete's sake, GO!
    It's an opposing view.  Let her say what she wants.  It becomes an echo chamber in here plus I need a chuckle.
    I don't know why people keep saying that. Even before maga/trump, we had spirited debates all the time. this place leans left, for sure, but there's LOTS of RINO's that post here and we debate with all the time. And even those that lean left will disagree with halifax all the time. lol
    It's a far off opposing view, sure. I don't get why you'd flag it?  I want to hear things like this.  I always want to know what someone else is thinking whether I agree or not.  That's my view.
