No-no. If you are giving a nod to Russians, ( again) it goes something like this; "The real man should be unshaven, drunk and slightly more intelligent than his horse."
No mentioning of "Adidas sweatpants" so loved by you.

No, I don't. I take care of myself, I smell like Versace.

But I think that's enough. It's funny for a while, but no need ruining every thread.

Well, actually I was not referring to Russians but... well, everything east of Warsaw. Excluding us, of course. Which is quite funny, as the Poles are probably the most adidas in Europe.

Unshaven again... you'll see them in the hipster districts of Helsinki a lot.

No, no. Russians have short hair which is combed (by their hands) forward. But they do smoke a lot.

Metrosexual men - well, whatever. Men who take care of their appearance are nice.

Sure, you can be an actor, but that doesn't change the way you are or feel.

Also, don't underestimate people, a lot of people notice if a man is gay, even if they don't say anything.

Strange times we're living when just saying that there are more differences between men and women apart from their genitals makes people foam with rage and jump on you like you're some kind of a bigoted, madman who wants to kill babies.

It's also strange that people just assume if you point out that differences do exist you're somehow implying we shouldn't allow women to have the same rights/opportunities/whatever.

I'm not being an actor. I am sexually attracted to men, but I do not act like a woman, because I am not a woman. The only thing I share with women is sexual attraction to men. Simple, no?

For instance I have a problem with those metrosexuals, I don't think of them as real men, and in this case I indeed do mean it in a negative way.
So what makes someone a real man?

The U.S won't rank #1 in every respect, but my idea was that the U.S is the largest economy in the world and is a first world nation.

We also share similar vision on social structures and benefits - unlike US where they artificially create social classes and elitism by limiting people access to higher education and specific jobs, both Russia and Germany have excellent free or nearly free educational systems and healthcare.
That the US "create social classes" I agree with this part, but "both Germany and Russia have excellent free or nearly free educational systems and healthcare?" What planet are you living on?

Just to bring you back on Earth- this is a thing or two about "Russian excellent healthcare,"

And as for "excellent education in Russia - it's Americanized slowly but surely.
Don't forget that Putin is all about money. Not unlike the US.
