Ha Ha , this thread reminds me of when I was a young teen. I was learning to roller skate at one of the local indoor rinks. I kept falling and had a couple of girls offer to help me. I had one on each arm for an hour. I never did learn to skate that summer
Those were the days LOL
Who needs to learn when you have two girls, one on each arm
I would never ridicule or frown upon anyone trying to learn anything.
[the gender of the teacher is irrelevant]
i agree, but then again there are some learning experiences that are of no interest to me, despite how others may feel. i may have been mistaken that the chap was talked into. hope so.
However, if a guy tells me he is a fast motorcycle rider and but when we go riding and I smoke him easily, that's kinda lame.
Yes, he is good at many other things. And this is not something I would push him into. He is not a man to be pushed into anything, and I would not make my boyfriend do something he is uncomfortable doing unless it is absolutely necessary. Basically, I wanted to know what other people think about this, because I was overly concerned about how other people would view him (and me). Now I see I should not even have been concerned. It was a stupid question altogether.

Imagine a situation: you go to a skating rink (or a bike trail or an alpine skiing resort) and you see a couple where the woman is very proficient at the particular sport, but the man is a total novice, and the woman is trying to teach the man: dragging him by the hand around the skating rink, helping him keep his balance while getting on the bike etc. It is also pretty clear the woman is his girlfriend, not his paid instructor. Would this look like a normal situation to you, or would the man look "not manly enough" for having his girlfriend teach him a sport?
If you are a man that is worried about "looking manly" than you aren't manly at all. Macho posturing is for little boys and insecure adults.
One of the best things to ever happen to me was that I was "domesticated" by my wife.

Yeah, and the rewards of servitude are too great to pass up! Interestingly enough, my wife recently told me (in a playful manner) that I was just a penis and a paycheck, so my preferences didn't matter. Some men would find that playful banter humiliating. I personally do not mind because it's all in good fun, and am secure enough to let my wife have her fun, too.

the advent of the man cave in our lives and lexicon suggest similar lifestyle of man's best friend, that is living in a dog house.
I'm not sure what kind of mancave you've experienced, but to me a mancave has always been a good thing. That is, a part of the house he gets to set up the way he wants with things he likes. Sports stuff, hunting trophies, etc.

to each his own, i got mine
Being "domesticated" and even deferring to one's wife does not mean it's a horrible marital arrangement. I try to defer more often than not because I try to measure the extent to which I am willing to disagree with her on some issues. When I take the time to think about it, it's usually not too many issues that warrant disagreement. Plus she defers on a lot of things, too. It balances out.
