itt blogs instruct you how to be a man

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

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

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

don't be a creep who sexts pics of your dick

be a creep who gives unsolicited mixtapes and letters and compliments

SOUND ADVICE

i learned the mixtape lesson the hard way :/

This is more emphatically a homophobic, racist, right-wing sort of blog, but I couldn't pass up posting this here:

Rule of thumb for all you young guys who haven’t yet fully developed your sense of clothing style. First of all, don’t read any so-called mens fashion magazines...Just follow AWDs instructions and you’ll be reeling in the biscuit with babes your entire life. Womerns don’t want to be with wussified, gay little peacocks…unless they’re Democrats.

I guess this guy just wants to use babes to get biscuits. I get it. I, too am a fan of biscuits. Also, Womerns are totally into Democratic wussified, gay little peacocks, but not Republican ones, which is pretty big of him to admit.

Democrats huh, that tiny subsection of American women.

wait

womerns?

You use them to get biscuits.

first you get the money
then you get the power
then you get the womerns
then you get the biscuits

instructed

Are you reelin' in the biscuit?
Are you throwing away the style?
Are you following my instructions?
You'll have womern by the mile.

dying

Don't do it, it's not worth it to risk it. Not over this shit. STOP! Drop the biscuit!
