Ok, I meet a few of the "real men" attributes, so I'm not too worried. Sounds like "real men" are metrosexuals -- the kind of men the "Queer Eye" guys are trying to create from "most men." Eh...

[alicia-w]

those guys work miracles!!!

I never catch my husband watching it but i know he has. I caught him spraying his cologne and then walking into it. He saw me watching and turned beet red!!!

I bet his razorback buddies would crack up if they knew that.

I used to watch it, but it got boring. Same thing every week. Honestly, though, I can't think of anything I do differently based on what I've seen on the show. Still wash my face with soap, shave with an electric shaver, don't use six different kinds of hair products and -- to use a Dave Barry line -- can't tell good wine from melted popsicles.

This is stupid. Why would women want us to be for equal rights and coddle them like little twits (aka. kids)?

[kevin]

This real man is a complete floosie with no internal consistency. I think he sucks.

[kevin]

For instance, to start your own business usually you have to quit your job. Unless you have a rich dad. Who is a real man.

[SouthernWx]

According to that list, sometimes I'm a real man, and am like most men the rest of the time

[The Big Dog]

Just looking at this list again, it looks like "real" mean are just rich players.

Most Men..claim to be feminists because they let YOU open doors, drive, and pay for dinner.

This might be my favorite one. First of all, I open doors, drive, and plan to pay for dinner. I say plan because history has shown that if she insists on paying her share, then she's already decided that you're not getting a second date. So I let her.

You are probably right on that account. Sorry.

No problem, but thanks for the confirmation.
