Rational Insanity
Are you man enough?
If you look around you, especially now, with summer/gimmick season on the rampage, you will notice lots of people strutting the sidewalks with a "deskarte" all their own. Some are fashion icons, some blunders; some bakasyonista trying-hards, and some just plain nonsense. There are many types of people all around us and one thing that is quite common regardless of where you are, are people pretending to be not who they really are and give themselves away in the process. Quite a bunch of these people are the bravado young, warm-blooded males (kuno) who seem to have an obsession with masculinity. Well, ladies and sisters, first thing's first "most of these wannabes are not the real McCoy; so how do you tell the true blue men from the blue (or green)-blooded ones? Here are ten really effective pointers... pay attention, pay real good attention:
1. Real men are NEVER homophobes. A guy who claims that he does not want to associate with gay or bisexual friends because he is homophobic is most likely this way because he is afraid that such company would spoil his cover. Simply put, men who claim they are homophobic are most likely gay or bisexual themselves which is why they cannot look at themselves in the mirror (or reflected among the gay and bisexual crowd that they meet).
2. Real men would act gay readily when friends ask them to for fun. Real men are totally secure with themselves that pretending to be gay cannot displace them from the gender security they are enjoying.
3. Real men would readily open the lifestyle or entertainment section of a newspaper without hesitation or obvious insecurity. Men who shun away from these sections and claim with loudmouths that they only read the news or the sports section of any paper are most likely nerd wannabes or gays or bisexuals pretending to be straight men.
4. Real men won't mind buying sanitary napkins from a grocery or a drugstore alone. Aside from the fact that this is a very gentlemanly and humble act for a man who does the errand for an indisposed girlfriend, it is also a manifestation of gender security and maturity.
5. Real men are not ashamed to buy condoms in public. Health should be at the top of any man's priority list and the way things are nowadays, buying a condom should simply be treated like buying paracetamol over the counter. More so, it is very manly for the man to suggest condom use to his girlfriend if the need arises. However, for this there is a catch; real men don't announce that they have a condom in their wallets and blow the thing up for novelty. This is a very gay idea of fun.
6. Real men always sit with their backs comfortably on the back rest of a chair (except when the chair does not have one) especially when having coffee and cakes with their friends or barkadas. Of course, an exception to this rule is when the rendezvous is one with a boss or business associate.
7. Most real men don't flaunt their built. Of course, some real men are not that familiar with fashion ethics and so trip over this trap every once in a while and get mistaken for being gay or bisexual bouncers or swingers. The body built is reserved only for whoever gets intimate enough to be recipient of this (sometimes, disappointing) sight.
8. Real men don't goggle at other men. A passing glance or look is all right, anything more is an indication of interest. So, to real men who happen to notice someone goggling at you, be a gent and don't mistake such an occurrence for wanting your fists on a jaw" it's more like wanting something else inside the mouth instead of having teeth flying out of that mouth.
9. Real men know what social drinking means. Need I say more? People who over drink usually suffer from some kind of psychological distress; and it is not a far thought to be mistaken as someone who is sexually challenged.
10. Has any one seen the new Sunsilk Commercial? Well, real men DON'T TALK WITH THEIR HAIR. I believe this is very self explanatory.
So, look around you guys, gals, and gays and find out for yourselves who out there is man enough, and deserves your undivided attention for the rest of the summer! Rev it up! Be rational; be insane every once in a while!!!TTFN!
