#1 11? None at all come to mind. And if a MAN (not a MINO) wished he could do it he would.

#2 1) Have more stylish clothing options
Ever been in Bavaria? Thought so. Next
2) Be able to talk about other men being attractive
I do probably find Brad Pitt to be more attractive than... Helen Thomas or Janet Reno, so maybe that's enough of overcoming gender expectations here. I still do not want to have sex with either of them even if the looks of Helen Thomas might have improved in the last year.
3) Order girly drinks
Sorry. I don't even tolerate water in my whiskey.
4) Get treated to a spa day
Somehow I believe that this doesn't include Bangkok spas where girlys do things, right?
5) Carry a purse
A man knows where to put his wallet. What else does he need to carry, if not in a briefcase?
6) Dance like no ones watching
Last guy who tried this was John Travolta. Ended up in Scientology.
7)Wear makeup
What? Tested on animals?
8)Get pampered by women
See 4
9)Wear yoga pants
It's no longer funny now
10) Have fun with ones children without being judged
I don't get that one. But maybe that's because the girls in our family play football, too.
11) Be able to show emotion without being labeled as gay or a p*ssy.
If you're a fan of Bayern Munich, you have plenty of opportunities to do that in front of a crowd of 70000

#3 To avoid perpetuating gender stereotypes, I gave my daughter a mix of dolls and toy cars to play with. This is what happened.

#4 That only happened because you gave her pink sheets

#5 At least she tore the tires off one of them gorb - there's hope for her yet.

Now if you can get her to put it up on ~~Legos~~ blocks in the front yard... :)

#6 EC: On my 'bucket list' [wunschlist]... hike the Konigsee ice to St. Bartholomew's. Maybe.... toot my own horn about it.

#7 I'm not gay but I find Brad Pitt quite attractive.

Google "male competition for females", miss.

#8 Urbanists.

Remember when that Italian cruise ship hit the rock and rolled. Everyone was surprised by the 'men' who shoved women and children out of the way to get to safety. There's your future when you socialize your males as though they're just dysfunctional females.

#9 soooo basically the "Men of Reddit" are a bunch of emasculated p*ssies?

#10 ROFLMAO, #2 EC!

That's why we love you (in a sisterly/brotherly way, of course). ;-p

And yes, I've been to Bavaria. Tried to get the firefighter guy in our group to buy some tooled-leather suspenders for his turnout pants; I got some decorated with Edelweiss for mine, but he refused to get suspenders with "flowers" on them. Guess he'll never be Bayerische. :-D (Finally found him some with more "manly" designs.)

#11 Yeah, I want to sit with my feet in a bucket fetid water dosing my liver with fumes from industrial solvents while being attended to by underage Asian slave girls in a worn down storefront...

#12 #2 - Well done, EC.

#13 Skidmark - your post caused me to do a google search on "tumblr asian slave girls"
... troubling to say the least... esp the auctions.

#14 Sorry 3.
My theme was pedicures, you gave it quite a twist.

#15 LOL gorb - Reminds me of when my one of my high school friends became a mother a few years after our graduation. She decided she didn't want her son to have any "violent toys" like guns. Almost needless to say, as soon as he became old enough every remote control, eating utensil and stick outside became a gun to aim at people and say "pow! pow!". Fortunately, she was open-minded enough to accept reality and soon let him have a toy gun.

#16 I'd like to talk about how effn' awesome my collection of paintings looks in 100W incandescent full spectrum lighting.

#17 As per #3, that's just not right, not right at all.
