In reality, in has gotten to the point where sometimes it's difficult to tell a boy from a girl. Nowadays a lot of girls look and act like boys, and a lot of boys like girls.
As a woman, I will confirm (IMO) that the world is NOT in shortage of "manly" men. Any "feminization" going on is really not a big threat to the stock of the globes "manly" men.
Here's to rugged men! And all the other dudes too!
As they say, there's no accounting for taste. I'm sure in another twenty years something different will be popular. Personally, I'm hoping for a resurgence of parachute pants.

I blame single moms who are raising their male offspring to emulate their twisted idea of what a man should be. I also blame a female dominated educational system which only values Cheerleaders and the jocks they idealize.
And feminism. And yes, society is getting worse with all this feminizing. I have a feeling that it's going to get worse in the future.

I was like "Wow"......I must admit that I was thinking this recently........ not in such colorful terms, mind you. I saw all these magazines on the stand. All these young men with no facial hair....not even a mustache (remember when a stash was cool?) . No body hair at all. I find it unbelieveable that ALL of these models or actors are naturally bare! Which means that these cats are shaving like women do!! What are we doing?? Why are we doing it!! Something just seems off center.
What's up with this?
What's up with that? 96 percent of girls and younger women of today crave that look.
When men say that they would never shave, women always come with excuses like "Women shave for you".
So, I'm a skinny guy. Can't help it. 140lbs 5'9" eating A LOT of food and working out A LOT. I'm naturally hairless. I can't grow a beard, nor can I grow chest hair (being half black, genetically less likely to be hairy...no need to be covered in the tropics). I wear tighter fitting clothing since I'm a thinner guy (I would look stupid wearing larger clothes). I'm also bisexual...which some would argue isn't manly...to that I say, whatever.
Because of the way genetically I am, does this metric mean that those that are genetically similar to me are less of a man?
I stand up for what I believe in. I've been involved in sports most of my life (not that playing sports involves being manly). I don't like shopping and I feel that the metrosexual trend isn't the feminization of men, but rather the increased commercialization and excess of society. I know my way around a computer and have built fences, put in cabinets, etc.
A man shouldn't be defined by chest hair or size, but rather content. If you are a metrosexual type guy, that's fine...as long as you have substance to you. We should have multiple def. of what a man is. Not just one.
