What has happened to men?

[bottlebomber]

I agree with the camping... the best ever campsites around where I live are at Usal State Park, its about 15 miles out a dirt road. The camp sites are about an acre each. There are a couple portapotties out there but I wouldn't go in one. Gotta pack in your own everything. And the roads too tight to get trailors or RVs out there. Thing is, its usually only my family that goes because I can't get ANYONE out there. Geesus not even my wife complains...

I'm with McMalty.



It's pretty sad when I was planning this week's camping trip I couldn't get more than 2 other guys to come. Everyone else I asked refused to go unless there was bathrooms, a shower, and electricity. Pu&&ies! When the sh*t starts flying, they'll all run to me though and overwhelm my defenses and supplies.

your friends wouldn't go camping? they are *******. me and my friends are trying to plan sometime where we go out in the woods with just a knife and one of those magnesium bars (and beers) and stay for a week if we can. i just have to figure out a week where my wife will let me escape my duties (kids).

none of your friends ever taken a **** outside? its liberating

This is serious. Right up my alley...

I think it's sad when guys try to give excuses like not having a bathroom, no running water, etc. to avoid camping or backpacking trips. The real reason: they're scared. You'd expect those excuses to come more from women; not that every women wouldn't go, but generally speaking.

Or maybe they just don't like camping.

 

[rycov]

yeah, maybe they'd rather stay at home and curl each others hair and play dress up. then later they can trade purses and lend each other tampons

Now you are just being obnoxious. It's only camping fer chrissakes. Hanging out in the woods with a bunch of guys getting to "Know" each other.

 

[rycov]

i am, but isn't that what this thread is about?

yeah, camping sounds manly, woods and beards and ****ting outside. but when you think about it like four or five guys hanging out by themselves in a secluded area for a long period of time it does sound pretty gay.

^^^^I sure hope this isn't what has become of men. To revert back to a 6 year old boy who longs to not shower for days and **** in the woods and says things like the above would be unfortunate.

We did it a lot in the marine corps - it's called a fireteam. Wasn't too gay. I woke up in a fighting hole with a big f'ing snake once. That was gay.

 

[HokieBrewer]

Please tell me someone else has seen the Simpson episode where Homer takes Bart on different manly adventures to keep him from becoming gay. Tooo funny.

 

[rycov]

you can make fun of me, but don't make fun of ****ting in the woods. ****ting in the woods is awesome. (plus you just called me six...name calling is for six year olds )

whats a fighting hole?

 

[passedpawn]

whats a fighting hole?

army calls them foxholes.

 

[RighteousFire]

It's rectangular box dug into the ground for a couple guys to live in during a fire fight.

They suck to dig.

Of course.

Nobody is saying that camping is gay. However, gay people also do it. The whole camping issue is as unrelated to homosexuality as purse carrying. It's really not that difficult to understand.

 

[RighteousFire]

What makes something "gay"? What's the difference between camping with some friends vs playing video games with them all night, or going out drinking, or whatever?

I don't think doing something makes you "gay" unless that activity itself is inherently homosexual.

Wrong. rycov said "when you think about it [camping] does sound pretty gay". I responded to that.

Yes... Particularly enjoyed the carpenter ant mound I didn't notice while leaning up against a tree when I was in scouts.. That was a learning experience....lol

i didn't call it gay. i said it SOUNDED gay. and i don't think you called it gay either. i guess it could be gay if the campers were out there getting gay with each other (broke back mountain?). but i think usually its just getting away from civilization for a while. its nice.

sorry about your nuts! sounds awful.





to everybody, i hope none of you are reading to much into what i'm saying. i don't actually think any thing makes you un-manly (except not taking care of/ doing whats best for your family). i'm just bored as **** at work. for the record i don't dislike gays.

i'm just bull ****ting (it is in the drunken ramblings forum), we're all friends here.

Funny the first thing that is mentioned is purses, when I think of "stuff that men do that is not manly," I gotta say, the first thing that comes to mind is not, "Look at that girly man, he wants to be able to carry his stuff around easily! What a sissy..."

Of course, I refuse to use any type of bag, despite my wife's numerous objections and her observation that I look ridiculous with my pockets as full as they are... but that's because I';m pretty sure if I carried a bag, I'd lose it within a day. heh...

It's pretty gay if you camp here:

Please. If you wanted to really talk about being a man, you wouldn't be talking about that pu$$y sport of football. Bunch of pansies running around with helmets and pads on.

ok, fine. step out on the field with some pads and a helmet with some other guys and lets see how big of pu$$ies they are. Exactly, you won't do it. go back to watching soccer.

 

[McMalty]

I sometimes carry a Timbuktu messenger bag. It the same brand that many a bike messenger have battle tested on the streets of Big City, USA. It's the perfect size for a few magazines. I landed on it crashing a skateboard once. It came out better than I did. I also enjoy ballroom dancing. Tell me I'm not a man. I'm 6' 230lbs of man and I smell like one.

it's great that you enjoy ballroom dancing. i'm not saying there's anything wrong with dancing, but do you like to watch it on tv? you want your sons watching it (wow, look at him twirl). you're not some punk wearing tights and eyeliner who can hit the high notes. dancing is not inherently unmanly, but being obsessed with shows that are about dancing is.

If they weren't pu$$ies, they'd be playing rugby with the big boys.

Not 100% sure, but pretty damn sure that gay people also do everything else that non gay people do........except not be gay

 

[Yooper]

Real non-pu$$ies play hockey.

This thread has turned gay... way gay. I want to unsubscribe but its almost to that bottom rung level where its getting good again
