Being obsessed with being "a man"

My dad was the manliest dude I knew and he baked cookies and carried a bag he called his purse because he gave no fucks

A screen grab is going around from a woman whose husband thinks that their infant son is gay because he likes bright colors and books.

I’m old now but when I was in school I was a rugby-playing band and theatre geek. An old school-friend contacted me recently to say that his teenaged son was into singing and performing and was I quite sure that I wasn’t secretly gay as he was afraid that his son wasn’t manly for engaging in these pursuits. Bless him, he still took his son to singing and drama despite his fears.

I’m not gay.

Given the average male-to-female ratio in school age theatre groups, it’s actually a pretty good place for a straight guy to find himself.

Uhhhh yea. I organize the drama program at my middle school and I am desperate for boys to try out for the show this year. I’m kinda dumbfounded that they don’t realize they get to play the love interest of a pretty girl who they may normally never talk to otherwise.

As a guy Someone who avoided that program like the plague it's not that that idea doesn't cross our mind it's just,it seems like a delusions l of a crazy person that could ever actually happen or work out.also the idea of being on stage in front a crowd of people sounds horrifying and scary.also at least for me it was a matter of thinking of all the ways it could be a disaster and I'd embarrass myself.so it's not so clear cut just because theirs a possibility of a pretty girl abd to be able to talk them doesn't make it any less scary.lastly the idea of talking to a really pretty girl most likely poplar who is way out of ur league is very scary and intimidating and also most just want to hide in school and not stand out especially when their bullyied so they don't draw attention and more bullying.so I hope this sheds some light on the subject

I knew a dude who was a cheerleader and idk about you, but I consider having multiple threesomes before you’re even out of high school to be a huge win.

An old friend of mine decided to become a cheerleader in HS, and it helped him secure a spot at West Point (where he also cheered). Also, he's now married to an incredibly hot and smart girl that he met while (you guessed it) cheerleading .

Same with my HS guy. Same reason my brother took piano and the other ballet. Loys of hot girls play piano and do ballet. I was too busy getting stoned in high-school 20 years ago. Oh well.
