"Originally Posted by texwalker_ranger John Wayne's real name was Marion, he repeatedly dodged military service and for the better part of his life, he wore a wig like your granny did to cover his bald head. Was he a "real man?"
Well, after all the "soft" retorts to the Retrosexual post I can only conclude that there's a terrible dose of irony deficiency running rampant on C-D. Pity!
As for John Wayne, he was a neighbor of mine in my early years and well into my 20s when I wasn't somewhere else thanks to Uncle Sam. He was actually quite nice, down-to-earth and not at all full of himself in my experiences with him. He was also larger in life than on the screen. Not bad for a guy with only one lung. But he sure had a great boat, the Wild Goose.

That settled. Yes, those are great qualities for any man to have but have nothing to do with actual tasks or skills.
That's the point Miss. Actual tasks and skills have NOTHING to do with being a "man". That was the point of my post. What a guy does for a living and the task skills he has do not go toward his status as a "man". Not at all. The respect a man gains from his peers on the job stem from his attitude first and his task skill a distant second.
I know guys who are damn good at what they do. In many different types of jobs. However, nobody wants to work with them or under them because they are not "men". They are arrogant, self absorbed, narcissistic, abusive parodies of men. Though they believe they are the epitome of what a man is, based solely on their own opinions.
They treat their women as second class underlings, project their shortcomings from their growing up time by reliving it, vicariously, through their children, and blame any mistakes they make on someone else. These are not the actions of a man, but, they know their stuff. Whoopdeedoo. What does skill at any particular task have to do with being a "man". Nothing. What does how a guy dresses and grooms himself have to do with being a "man". Nothing. The particular lifestyle a guy lives, the environment he lives in, the job he does and the skills he posesses at any particular task do not dictate his status as a man.
It's far more complicated than any of those simplistic and base things. While vetting body waxes, manicures, fashionable hairstyles and having an affinity for trendy clothing are not my cup of coffee, I won't judge a guy who indulges in such things as not being a man based on that alone. Could be that guy would be a good guy to have your back in a scrape, and can be counted on to do what needs doing. The book/cover cliche' is appropriate to mention here.

Thanks! I guess I should have googled it myself, but I thought it was a typo or insider knowledge.
Both genders are into a higher level of grooming than previous generations. Women in the 70s kept a lot of their body hair as well and now-a-days that is completely unacceptable. The men have just taken a while longer to catch up.
I think women shaving their legs and underarms is fine, even a little something down under (though that hair is there for protection against yeast infections and other things). But men shouldn't have to shave their legs and chests and privates. Yes, if you have back hair, by all means shave that stuff off, but don't do the other stuff. It just looks weird. When I was younger, only swimmers and body builders shaved, and they obviously did it to help them out in their particular sports/whatever. I like a man with a natural look myself.
