I feel like celebrities have always been thought of as "pretty boys" to the masses. I have lived in Minnesota, California, Virginia, and Georgia. I've served in the Marines. Fear not America is still full of "real men."

Honestly though I find that what most people think of as "manly" and "masculine" are skewed anyway. Manhood has been cheapened and now to be "manly" in America one needs to chug beer, watch football, be fat and out of shape, and partake in copious amounts of red meat. While I enjoy red meat and football I don't think either one of those things defines me as a man.

He's twenty four years old. I don't know where you come from, but where I come from that's a full grown man.

Maybe not according to your preference. However, those things are not evidence of bad taste or hygiene, but rather, natural DNA occurence like green eyes or coarse hair. And in some places, they may actually be perceived as appealing! Gasp.

AS a kid I once stated John Wayne was a hero in my Dad's presence. He quickly corrected me by stating "Audie Murphy was a hero, John Wayne is an actor."

I'd still rather drink with the Duke (assuming he was still alive) than sip coffee with pajama boy.

Or do "real" men go to the bar and get in a fight with the first guy that looks at them?
Apparently not, "real" men would rather hide behind a screen name and boast about their levels of testosterone.

He could still be on Mommy and Daddy's insurance.

I don't know. I didn't know the man personally. Can you tell me why William the Impeached is a certified draft-dodger?
No, you need to post a link telling us where W was when he was supposed to be on duty. Here's a little something to get you started.

George W. Bush military service controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who served?


Bill was in England as a Rhodes Scholar. That beats hell out of Limbaugh's " I had a boil on my ass" and Dick Cheney's "I had other priorities".

....or Romney's "I was busy living in a mansion in France, saving souls. Yeah, that's it...saving souls."
