personally, I want a man to be a man.
If I wanted someone who liked the color pink, loved chick flicks and never cussed, I’d become a lesbian. BUt I’m not, because I love men. They balance me out…

Ok, you aren’t an alpha male wannabe. Since I know you pretty damn well in “real life” I can say that with conviction. To be honest, I’ve always thought you were kind of a softie. No joke!
I read the response - that chick was wack. I’ll say what you can’t say since you’re a guy…she was probably on the rag. Let it go.

Um, don’t let that chick make you question yourself. She was obviously on her period.

Try as she might, but no woman can compete with ESPN.

I don’t like chocolate. And I’d rather drink beer than wine. Sometimes I think I’m a man with boobs.

So basically if you like pink and chocolate and abhor sex that would make you man? Uh, no thank you I would think.

And the whole walking while farting without anyone hearing, definitely better to do it that way. Yeah, and, um, girls do that too.

Since when is being an alpha male a bad thing?

It sounds like this girl has a pretty warped and sadly stereotypical view of gender roles.

You don’t like pink- I know lots of girls who don’t like pink. You chose sports- so do I (and many other chicks). I hate Destiny’s Child. And so on. And in that post? you mentioned that you like sex and are always interested in getting it. Hello! Women are THE SAME WAY.

And overall, you’re clearly a lovely person. Someone I would definitely want to hang out and have a beer with. You’re a man. Most women like their men to be men. And being a man doesn’t mean you don’t have feelings. Just like being a woman doesn’t mean I cry all the damn time and don’t know how to drive.

I like you and your alpha male tendencies. That’s all they are to me thouhg. Tendencies. I read because your opinion is different and I like it. Don’t quit.

I read your blog all the time, and I am going to go on a limb and say this is one of the more “guy oriented” posts you have made. There is mention of football, lots of sex, and how to get lots of sex.

There is a small connection that I see between Alpha Male stereotypes, Bromance, and your blog entry. It really just stems down to talking about sex like something mindless that you use people for. It is also slightly conceited (”I always get laid on Valentine’s Day”), but you were perhaps merely stating a fact there.

I do think that guys do this all the time, and that you can’t be penalized for merely sharing your opinion on the topic. Perhaps the reader usually does read your blog, and thought you weren’t one of “those guys”.

Net - net…It is slightly sexist in it’s connotation, but as long as you don’t have hardcore feminists in your list of target audiences, keep on keepin’ on.

Congrats on not cursing. I do it way to often.

I’m gonna agree with LPB and Erin - why is being an alpha male a bad thing? As long as you aren’t an asshole about it then who cares?!

Personally, I would be offended if someone assumed I watched and mimicked such a crappy tv show….

Congrats on not cursing!

I agree with LPB. You being you is what keeps bringing me back.
