You know Speed Dawg, it isn't all of your complaining that rubs me the wrong way - I actually agree with you politically a lot of the time - it's the douchey smugness you do it with.

Choreographed handshakes
Disagree! This sounds like stupid sh!t me and my brother do. It's called "having fun". My old boss, who was 50, used to give me fist bumps sarcastically.
Text language
Disagree and Agree. One one hand it's lazy. On other hand, it's how people communicate these days.
Cooking steak above medium rare
A matter of preference. A good NY Strip is should be cooked at medium (as well as Ribeye) per a culinary friend of mine.
Wearing skinny jeans
Disagree. But how skinny are we talking? I agree that no man should where a pant skin-tight, but a nice tight tailored pant is in right now. What Jude Law is wearing here is about right: http://www.gq.com/style/blogs/the-gq-eye/must-see-menswear-jude-law-032814.jpg
Getting a vasectomy
Disagree. Some of us are not cut out to be parents.
Sleeping past 8 regularly
Disagree. I wake and work when I please. I've pulled all-nighters on projects and rolled in the next day at 11am. Welcome the world of adversting at a Fortune 500 company.
Taking anti-depressants
Agree. I've watched people very close to me suffer at the hands of this BS. What they need is a strong intervention and a re-direction.
Not voting
Agree. You are just as accountable for your country as much any high-ranking politician.

using 'lol' in a sentence.
Disagree. Get with the times.
have their relationship confirmed in a status on divorcebook.
Disagree. My girlfriend's desperate beta-orbiters stopped trying to communicate once we became "Facebook official". You should see the lame-ass PM's she would get from dudes because they didn't know we were an item. Once she made that public, everyone backed off.
driving round with the windows down playing loud music.
Agree. Awful self-absorbed behavior (unless you do it as a joke!)
ordering a Smirnoff ice or any alcopop at a bar.
Agree.
watching reality tv.
Generally agree.
posing for a selfie and uploading to the world.
Agree if for vain purposes...but I've seen some hilarious stuff posted via friends doing selfies in inappropriate places that have provided some great laughs. Consider the context.

2. driving any base model, bottom of the line, subcompact economy car
3. wearing tacky graphic t-shirts or jeans that have overly decorated back pockets
4. doing anything that would question whether or not he is a man

6. using coupons on a date or in general being a cheapskate
7. ask permission to do anything from s.o. or spouse
8. not having a clue about wine
9. drinking any ****tail that is a chick drink or has an umbrella/fruit decoration
10. putting the women in their lives first

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

Skinny jeans are for f*cking homosexuals, what is wrong with you all? Yeah, I get fashion comes in and out, but that picture of Jude Law makes him look like a fairy.

Please enlighten me to how we should wear our pants. I've worn pants similar in tightness to Jude Law and I've never had any problem pulling good-looking women. My legs are probably even skinnier than Jude Law's - and Jude Law - no matter how fairy-like he looks, has plowed HB10's his entire life.speed dawg said:
Women appreciate a good sense of fashion. If you put together a good income, along with a great body, and adopt a SS/DJ mentality, all you need is a good wardrobe that doesn't verge on the tacky/too trendy to get those panties to drop.
My girlfriend has Pinterest, and I watched her use it a couple times when we've been chilling at her place. You should see what other women find attractive in terms of style for men. I will guarantee you it isn't the regular joe wearing a 15-year old pair of Wranglers.
I'm in the skinny jeans are "gay" camp. Along with any other goofy style or fad. Flat brimmed baseball caps come to mind. Modern day dunce cap.
No matter what any woman says about liking a certain new style or fad it all goes out the window when a ruggedly handsome man with a classic look walks in the room. That's my experience anyway.
Heard a funny story from a friend recently. An Asian guy he knows posted a selfie on his facebook of him wearing a lumberjack outfit. He was heading out for a night on the town and was asking for thumbs up or thumbs down on his "new look". When I heard the term "lumbersexual" I almost burst out laughing. http://gearjunkie.com/the-rise-of-the-lumbersexual I grew up in an area where forestry is the main industry. The idea of so called "men" in the city trying to look like loggers is just fawking hilarious!
I'm sorry but any "man" who overly concerns himself with his "style" or his "look" just comes off as gay to me. Moreso over time as those styles and looks inevitably change. The guy just ends up looking like a phoney, try-hard, poser.
How about this:
A real grown ass mature man should look and act REAL.

Men frequently err by talking too much. They often monopolize conversations, droning on and on about topics that bore women to tears. They think they're impressing the women when, in reality, they're depressing the women.

What's most funny about these degenerate urban 'males' is that, even with all their art, culture, and progression......they still feel the allure of being 'manly'. Problem is they just cannot accept the truth.....simply too indoctrinated.

I'm not going to disagree with you. Trends come and go.Slickster said:
I'm an advocate of dressing well and keep up a good appearance. Tailored suits, clean shaven, good haircut, and being in top physical shape. My work environment is one where I must dress in presentable way in order to represent my company when I meet with clients.
Why do I do this? I remember being in a project pitch with another guy who showed up warmup pants and a polo shirt. All I could think about how unprepared and disheveled he "looked" rather than the wonderful new CMS platform he was showcasing for our client.
It gave me the impression that he did not care - about himself, our company who slaved away for hours building it, or the client (which was about to dump a million plus into our companies pocket).
People use their looks to get ahead. Being in shape and dressing well or "stylish" is an important part of the game. Go to a bar sometime in my area around happy hour wearing a Carharrt coat and looking rugged, then try to talk to that leggy blonde. Go back the next night looking like sharply dressed executive and see how her demeanor changes.

Some girls like the rugged look though. I know some lookers who fantasize about snagging themselves a cowboy.expos said:
It's good to dress well and look good, especially in certain situations. Males are supposed to be men of action. If he has to wear a business suit to do that, great. But many women are turned off if a guy spends too much time fussing over his looks. Doing that is a feminine trait, which is a turnoff.

With clothes I think it's all about 1) fit, 2) style, and 3) context. In that order.
It's always better to wear slightly dated clothes that fit than modern clothes that dont. I'm talking about social things and business, not working in your yard.
Style is of course totally personal but some things are just ridiculous no matter who you are, like baggy jeans, sk8r clothes, anything too "alt" or counter culture, or heavily contrived looks. Some guys can get away with a louder, flashier look and others do well with more conservative colors and cuts. It also depends a lot on your region; here in Denver it's perfectly acceptable to wear sport/outdoor clothing pretty much for anything, but when I lived in Boston I only wore that stuff to the gym.
Context is important too. Under or over-dressing just makes you look like a tool. So do overly manicured beards and haircuts, IMO. Women LOVE a 10-day beard and longer hair. Not like rock star long but a couple inches. If you are in shape and wear modern clothes that fit, you can get away with letting your beard go and being more relaxed with hair grooming. It's also very personal though---some dudes just cant grow a good beard.

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

I think we can add "barebacking slutty bytches" (regardless of whether you've had a vasectomy) to the list of things mature men should not be doing.Desdinova said:Oh no, I lost maturity in your eyes
There's nothing immature about stopping slutty bytches from getting pregnant with children you don't want.

I've never given a damn about what others think a man is supposed to look like or behave. I do whatever the fvk I wanna do. Whats funny is Ive seen a thread similar to this one on another forum before...filled with a bunch of women trying to talk about what makes a woman mature or a "real woman".
Most of the sh!t said in both threads comes off as "get off my lawn!" fuddy-duddy judgmental garbage. Be your own man and let others be their own men.
