Inspired by this little gem~


So the question is, do women look at you or away from you when you bike?

In my case, I'm atheltic, attractive, and very real. I'm a real man. I won't pleasure a girl with gifts or false promises, if people enjoy me it's because of me, not some crap I give them. Basically when I'm on bike I found it that women will look at me if she wants too. It's like the easiest way to find out if she's shallow and something I don't want or want to know. If she's secure in herself enough to look at a biker, she's a right girl. If she's looking away, she's just a rat.

What your thoughts and experiences with this?

By women I mean women your age or younger that you'd consider dating and other things with. Not some old lady, ok, or a really ugly girl, alright.

I'm guessing that I must be missing something here.

So please tell me. What is your definition of a REAL MAN??

So please tell me. What is your definition of a REAL MAN??Multiple qualities:

Successful in business (or academics for those still in a university)
Physically fit
Can defend his wife / girlfriend and family if necessary
Can command the respect of others
Can be trusted to follow through when he gives his word
Sets goals and accomplishes them
Hardly ever wastes time and lives life passionately pursuing his goals: Carpe Diem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpe_diem)
Has NOT fathered children out of wedlock and from multiple women. This usually implies a deadbeat dad who's never around. The exception is the father who does stay around for his children.
Does NOT abuse drugs & alcohol
If married, is faithful to his wife
If he has children, is there for them and helps raise them

Okay - I will try to answer the question. A real man meets his obligations and keeps his word. He also doesn't use his strength or power to bully others (except for Internet Trolls - they are fair game)

Having the right set of chromosomes helps too. :rolleyes:

The commanding look as given to my gardener as in "Make me look good for a change!" Alas, he only had so much to work with. :rolleyes:

I think the song would be "These boots are made for walking... " but I think it was sung by a real women.

Oh, definition of a real woman - a woman who would have nothing to do with a guy who declares he is a "Real Man" - agree?

So...more adolescent shallowness....this time from notzofast.


A REAL MAN knows he's a real man and doesn't have to act macho, worry about the color he wears or who he hangs around with. A REAL MAN is a REAL MAN and knows it....these other things have NOTHING to do with his MANLINESS.

I am a REAL MAN. I don't give a RatZazz what anybody things about me on (or off) a bike.

You're absolutely correct.

Here's a little-known photograph of Ozzie, off to rescue Harriet. Now can you see why he's a serious real man?

I say a real man is a person of his word. He is honest, well-mannered and means no harm in his actions. The manners may go out the window sometimes though....when in a room full of fools it's sometimes best to speak to them in the ways they understand best.

I won't disagree with this. It's a term to try to sound more macho. :rolleyes:
