it's not as clear cut as that, but adult men do have slightly different thought processes.

for one to still play with adolescent hobbies is not a great sign IMO.

women have more leeway here due to their inherently different nature.

Rather similar to the way in which girls can kiss their friends, but men cannot.

Men kiss their friends in Europe all the time...it's only American machismo culture that sees such a thing as too feminine.

Dude are you stoned or something? What does playing Pokemon or Magic have to do with gender roles? A hobby for teens is a hobby for teens. You remind me of a poster who suffered a such a severe case of testosterone poisoning that most of the things he said never made any sense.

Stormguard | Privateer Press For a quick example of the kind of things you can collect.

Basically enjoy your hobbies and don't let anyone tell you you're too old or too young to do X or Y. People to toss a ball around and wrestle with other guys on a field and yet they aren't called childish at all.
I don't know why other people care so much about such crap any ways. It's not as if these people are rapists or serial killers. If you don't want to date or be around someone who likes "childish" hobbies then don't. Problem solved.

#12 is kinda creepy, but I used to have a long-term friend with that, so. And how can he not believe in the government (#1)? Does he just not agree with them? If he really denies their existence then I'm denying him my time.

Otherwise, he seems decent enough. He reminds me of an HS teacher I once had, very hard working and studious, even intelligent, but too weird for most students' taste. He came off as a lonely attention-seeker who constantly mentioned military rules for some reason.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Unh uh. No way.


Worse, I suspect on a lot of subjects you are "in to", if someone with knowledge in those areas would ask you and a question, you would probably have no idea.

Women, honest opinions about this guy. What do you think of him?
Thank you.
Anyone who isn't sort of agreeing with #1 needs to seriously educate themselves.
#2 and #10 are total turn-offs.
#12...well, it would depend on how much he liked doing that.
#20 is a little odd, but not a deal-breaker.
#5...I like muscular, defined men.

I don't think he is denying the existence of government. I think he is saying you shouldn't believe everything they tell you.
Which has already been proven in spades...if you pay any attention to history/current events.
And everyone knows the MSM is bought, paid-for, and has a huge agenda.
