itt blogs instruct you how to be a man

yeah! man, it's like one step away from being a complete girl and ordering riesling

I don't like Esquire any more than any of you but "I'll have what she's having" is p obviously about not being a hacky movie quoting dbag

I sneer at other tables doing that while drinking a really hoppy beer, before my after-dinner scotch, and tearing apart my still-bloody steak with my incisors

xp A real man wouldn't have even seen that movie

What movie would that be from? Pretty sure it's a ref to
a. not eating the same thing as a lady
b. not being so "unoriginal" as to order what someone else just did

yea do hacky movie-quoting esquire bros actually reach for a harry met sally joke, that seems p unlikely to begin with

What movie would that be from?

congrats mh you just passed the man test, please collect your man card and spittoon at the door

white zin, tho...

this list is an effortlessly simple paragon of rube/hayseed strawmanning, no gender insecurity required!

oh jesus that scene, duh

well that makes sense overall because don't be billy crystal

the real man affects the correct amount of class distinction: not too ignorant, yet not too pretentious. the middle way, the golden path.

what's wrong with sauce in the side, having trouble seeing if that's a class thing ("respect the chef's art, you plebe" sort of thing) or a gender thing ("are you minding your girlish figure?")

*on the side

Pickiness is strictly a feminine trait + weight-watching is too.

the former for sure. xp

about half are "don't be a woman" and half are "don't be /that guy/"

("respect the chef's art, you plebe" sort of thing)

voted for this one

"This is a thoroughly pedestrian amuse bouche."

With its etymological origin in 'foot', 'pedestrian' is not the adjective I'd use to modify amusing my bouche but I fail to see how my masculinity is affected one way or another.

<3

if you're not a chef type or french and you say the words "amuse bouche" out loud your man card is revoked

amused douche, more like

"It's been ages since we had brunch like this."

I guess a real man has brunch regularly?

what man says "it's been ages"

maybe the implication is that you are meeting a woman for brunch, not taking her there yourself, because you don't sleep with her. because you are a pussy.

"it's been donkey's years"

And the pinot grigio one is undoubtedly related to the fact that it's the most insipid white varietal

real men consume tannins

man, it's like one step away from being a complete girl and ordering riesling

What? Rielsing is an excellent wine. Just don't get it too sweet.

Anybody who prefers gender-normative standards to properly paired wine is an oaf.

so you're saying i shouldn't have bought that crocodile dundee box merlot

pretty sure it's "don't take cue from a lady" or maybe even "man should have ordered FIRST, trick question!!!"

The voice is a little annoying (y'all "shutties" "spitting game") but I'm not seeing what is upsetting about the substance. What am I missing?

Granted I read it quickly so maybe I didn't catch the offensive aspects.

the content is not outrageously offensive per se, i think my impatience has a lot to do with 20somethings dispensing life advice to each other

bros telling bros how to bro

refining the art, within its natural scope
