Here Come the Men in Pink

When it comes to war, everyone must choose a side. No, you can’t sit on the fence and never commit to anything. People who do that are called PUSSIES. And the only thing a PUSSY is good for is getting fucked.

Right now, a battle of epic proportions is being waged. Sooner or later a side will emerge victorious with enough power to affect society as a whole. This post is your opportunity to learn the important details and choose where you stand. Lines need to be drawn, facts need telling, and the pretending has to stop. Choose wisely whatever side you rally with. The men and women who will fight alongside you are putting their lives in your hands, it’s only fair you give them your utmost support and unshakable commitment.

Epic Battle, The Metrosexuals vs. The Masculinians: Who will dominate?

Typical Metrosexual:

  • Thinks pink is not only an acceptable color for men to wear, but is known to frequently sport other pastels as well
  • Will notice a woman’s shoes and compliment her
  • Doesn’t see the Man-Bag as a purse
  • Thinks wine tasting is a REAL sport
  • Enjoys wearing nut-huggers because they show off his ass
  • Has, at one point, used girlfriend’s moisturizer because he ran out of his
  • Has no idea what “Superbowl Sunday” is or when it takes place
  • Gets eyebrows waxed and has no qualms about referring a friend

Traits of a Masculinian:

  • Thinks men who wear pink are either gay, bi, or gay
  • Never knows what shoes a woman is wearing; has a noticeable interest in tits and ass
  • Sees the Man-Bag as a purse and a severe violation of Man Law (in some states, the punishment is death)
  • Wine? REAL MEN drink beer
  • Suffers a severe allergic reaction when in 5ft. of nut-huggers (21 reported deaths in 2007); possible cure is large injection of MANLINESS. Some doctors prescribe several viewings of “Scarface“.
  • Won’t even say the word “moisturizer” for fear of having his tongue explode
  • Considers “Superbowl Sunday” a sacred MAN holiday; has been known to take time off work for the grand event
  • Thinks men who wax their eyebrows are either gay, bi, or gay

As you can see, the two factions cannot co-exist. Their very survival depends on the decimation of the other. The tides of war are changing. The time has come.

Oh I’ve picked a side alright, my brothers and sisters can count on me to come through in a clutch. My will to fight is strong and my commitment solid. For I am not merely stamping out the enemy, I am preserving the future for all the fathers, the brothers, the sons, and my own flesh and blood.

Which side are you on?

    But, I must sit on the fence, and here is why:
    I think pink is not only an acceptable color for men to wear, but is known to frequently sport other pastels as well. Like bright orange pants :)
    Will notice a woman’s shoes and compliment her.Also her nails :)
    Sees the Man-Bag as a purse and a severe violation of Man Law (in some states, the punishment is death)
    Wine? REAL MEN drink hard liquor and beer!
    I have no idea what a nut hugger is, nor do I wish too LOL
    I know what Superbowl Sunday is, and frankly do not care.
    I think men who wax their eyebrows are either gay, bi, or gay. I have nothing against them, especially if they are crossdressers, transexuals or drag queens though :)
    (Gay men do not bother me, I am not a homophobic person)
    I think all metrosexuals are, quite frankly, strange people who should not be allowed outside the confines of their own homes :)

    ‘And the only thing a PUSSY is good for is getting fucked.’
    Jillian!
    Do not doodle that! Well actually you can if you want but warn me :)

    I shall base my choice on who I am most likely to fancy having relations with:

    A, A man less hairy than me .
    or
    B, A man more hairy than me.

    I go with B!

  3. Carl the quasi metrosexual May 2nd, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    Don’t like man-purses, can’t be bothered carrying that much around with me, other than that I am 100% metrosexual and I’ll stand my ground and fight to the last nail file, or lemon shandy.

  4. whatigotsofar May 2nd, 2008 at 4:28 pm

    Read this post aloud and my tongue exploded. Thank you very much.

  5. Mrs. R May 2nd, 2008 at 4:55 pm

    I choose metrosexual, just because the masculinians tend to piss me off…

  6. Jillian May 2nd, 2008 at 5:42 pm
    @ Frank- “I think all metrosexuals are, quite frankly, strange people who should not be allowed outside the confines of their own homes.”

    HEAR! HEAR! I’m inclined to agree :-O

    @ Claire- If I were to draw a pussy, I promise it will be of the kitty variety.

    @ Carl- I can’t hate you cuz we’re already friends. ;)

    @ whatigotsofar- I am SO sorry. But you were warned…

    @ Mrs. R- LOL. The masculinians are known to, at times, prove difficult.

  7. SolShine7 May 2nd, 2008 at 5:49 pm

    The hybrids will win! The metro-masculines.

  8. Jeannette May 2nd, 2008 at 7:38 pm

    Even gay men look weird in pink.

  9. Single May 2nd, 2008 at 7:57 pm

    I am so into a MAN that wear PINK!! It looks good on real MEN!! but I do prefer the masculine man…. That blue collar worker, with dirt under his fingernails.. Shit I keep coming her and I will a.. a…. a…

    Never mind ……… hahahahaha!!!

  10. Arv May 2nd, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    Metro… WHAT???

    I like the pink on my woman. Am not gonna say no more… LOL…

  11. Keli May 3rd, 2008 at 11:12 am

    And where do men who wear nail polish fit in? I’ve seen them straddling the fence. I wasn’t sure which side to push them over to. I say clear and sandy colors (think beach) is the manly man. Black or red or pink is the metro. Now what do I do with the French manicures?

  12. Jillian May 3rd, 2008 at 11:20 am
    @ SolShine7- Metro-Masculines??!!! Now that’s something the world doesn’t deserve! The very thought makes me shift uncomfortably!

    @ Jeannette- That’s something I can agree with. I can almost handle the other qualities of the Metrosexual, but the pink…. I dunno. I mean since I HAVE to pick a side it would be NO PINK. You know, since I HAVE to pick a side.

    @ Single- Woah woah woah… you LIKE a man in pink? Who are you and where are you really from?

    @ Arv- No worries, friend. Nothing more needs to be said. I know where you stand (*wink wink*).

    @ Keli- There had better not be ANY men walking around with french manicures. I mean really…. NOT cool!

  13. fragileheart May 3rd, 2008 at 11:36 am

    Hahahaha “you poke it you own it” LOVE that man law. Those ads are hilarious. I’m afraid I’m going to have to disagree with you… my boyfriend is an alpha male - he’s a rugby and soccer playing sportsMAN, he barely ever wears purple even though I’ve begged him to when we were going to a very formal gala so we could match outfits for the night (he wore a really dark purple tie as s compromise but wasn’t happy about it), he loves Die Hard, he hates tighty whiteys. And while he doesn’t consider Superbowl Sunday to be a sacred holiday (he’s Irish) he does consider the Rugby World Cup, the Six Nations, the Heineken Cup, the Magner’s League, the Champions League final, and the Premiership (and the days they happen to fall on) to be sacred holidays…. all of this but he will gladly drink wine with me!

    So I say there is room for some compromise!!

  14. meleah rebeccah May 3rd, 2008 at 12:32 pm

    I need me a REAL man…I cant with the metrosexual. Anyone who takes longer than I do to fix their hair has got to go.

  15. castocreations May 3rd, 2008 at 2:36 pm

    I vote masculine!!! Metros make me incredibly uncomfortable. They might make great “men” for some super masculine “woman” who needs to ‘wear the pants’ but not for me!

    Although I admit that my man takes bubble baths. *giggle* But he also carries a gun for a living - so it evens out. =D

  16. .45 May 3rd, 2008 at 4:34 pm

    I hate to say that I can’t fully support either camp. Watching football, to me, is the equivalent of watching for my floorboards to move (sans LSD), and if I don’t use moisturizer, I always look like I’m peeling from a sunburn, which is impossible, since I avoid the sun at all costs. If I ever mention shoes, it’s only to get laid. I hate feet, and that would be the last place I would ever look.

    However, the day I wear pink, carry a man-bag (or hold a girl’s purse, for that matter), wear nut-huggers, or don’t get bagged ogling tits is the day I turn in my gun and badge, so to speak.

  17. Natural May 3rd, 2008 at 6:00 pm

    a man should be clean, wear a belt and smell good without over doing it. i pick the later

  18. robert bourne May 3rd, 2008 at 6:18 pm

    the only time I had something pink was when I washed that white t shirt with a red one.>:))))))

  19. TOPolk May 3rd, 2008 at 11:48 pm

    After spending some time earlier this month pretending to be a metrosexual, I have to give them a little bit of street cred. It’s harder than it looks. While I didn’t get down with the whole wearing pink bullshit and nut huggers, all that prep time takes a lot out of you. More power to them.

    In the meantime, its a lot more fun to a masculinian (if you made that up, muy awesome). Sure, metros put a lot of time wearing moisturizer and getting their hair perfect, but dammit a beer gut and a 9-day old beard don’t grow themselves.

  20. Jillian May 4th, 2008 at 12:20 am
    @ fragileheart- Your guys sounds very much like a Masculinian! Good for him and good for you!! ;)

    @ Meleah Rebeccah- Hahaha. Dammit, that’s true!

    @ castocreations- Looks like you’re on the side of RIGHT. Bubble baths are awesome and should be enjoyed by all. And carrying a gun, for a living no less? SEXY!

    @ .45- Haha… That last paragraph saved your skin! :D

    @ Natural- Yes! More than agreed!

    @ Robert- LOL. You’re excused. I’ve done that a few times, but with a wayward red sock or two.

    @ TOPolk- I came up with ‘masculinian’ and I’ll be devastated if it’s already in use. Let’s get the word out there… you know, get people using it! I’m going to consider what you’ve said here spying on the enemy. You’ve done well!

  21. Grumpus May 4th, 2008 at 2:31 am

    Masculinarian! That’s a keeper.

  22. Grumpus May 4th, 2008 at 2:32 am

    Masculinian rather. I don’t read so good.

  23. Jasmine Shanea May 4th, 2008 at 5:16 am

    Depends on what I am going for…

    A friend for keeps - a metrosexual has a bigger heart and ears that prove well as friendship materials.

    Future spouse - My hubby’s a mix of both apparently. He shops more than I do, knows more fashion tips than I do and picks on his clothes. But I’m pretty much sure he’s still a masculinian at heart and mind.

    Trust me, it’s hard to take the ego out of the male species. :)

  24. Shelly May 4th, 2008 at 2:25 pm

    I will take the side of metrosexuals based on the fact that I have many masculine items that I wear and no one really cares one way or the other.
    I celebrate when baseball players use a pink item for breast cancer awareness and well other than that it should come at time when anyone can wear whatever they want.
    So I took a side so there :P

  25. dawn May 4th, 2008 at 8:56 pm

    LMAO! I’m with Meleah on this one… :D

  26. Norski May 5th, 2008 at 1:51 am

    Which side am I on?

    Somewhere off the continuum you defined. (Enjoyed your post, BTW, but I’m taking the question seriously, for no particular reason.)

    My wife and I sometimes discuss clothing and fashion - we’ve watched “What Not to Wear” (TLC).

    I’ve got informed opinions on interior design.

    I’m a lower-middle-class, upper-middle-aged, married guy who lives in a small town - and I look it. Except for the beard.

    I like specialty coffees, and drink instant coffee I make in the microwave.

    You figure it out: I gave up long ago.

  27. Garrett May 5th, 2008 at 4:35 am

    I have shoulder length hair and a beard that scares children, I drink whiskey and stout beer, and the last time I drank wine it was part of a Carlo Rossi circle. I also take great pleasure in watching things explode (particularly when a certain British secret agent is involved) and headbutting people who disrespect my mother.

    But I also frequently wear my 10 pink shirts and sleep in a bed with baby pink sheets and a pink blanket. For senior prom (yes, I went with a woman smart asses) I wore an all black suit with a hot pink bow tie, and, for college graduation in two weeks, I’ll be sporting a white shirt and baby pink tie. I can’t explain it, but I’ve like pink since I jumped on the Cheer Bear (of Care Bear fame) band wagon during my youth.

    I am a man. I wear pink. Fuck your war on pastels :)

  28. Matt May 5th, 2008 at 7:36 am

    Weirdo pinko wussy men with handbags aren’t real men and make me sick. Mind you I’m not a big fan of those hairy assed lumberjack types either. But then I’m also straight so I don’t actually go looking for men, give me a set of shapely legs, and nice tight ass and a set of tits any day, and if she’s wearing pink or has a handbag that doesn’t seem to worry me. Strange isn’t it?

  29. Twisted Teenager May 5th, 2008 at 12:14 pm

    The first is my kinda bloke. Second seems pure arrogant.
    It was the beer and wine bit that made me decide that!

  30. Jillian May 5th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
    @ Grumpus- Hahaha… agreed. Be sure to do your part in getting that word out there. :D

    @ Jasmine- “Masculine at mind and heart” - THAT’S important. I’ve never met a man who liked to shop… well shop for clothes. Jan likes shopping endlessly for DVD’s and action figures. After 10 minutes it’s a big *YAWN* for me.

    @ Shelly- LOL. Amen for taking a side. Gotta respect someone who doesn’t sit on the fence. The war is coming though… be prepared!

    @ Dawn- I know, right? ME TOO!

    @ Norski- Ahh… any man who enjoys the GRILL has got to be a MASCULINIAN. ;)

    @ Garrett- LMAO. You sir, are a rarity indeed!

    @ Matt- Your whole comment made me laugh. Hahaha.

    @Twisted Teenager- Arrogance is oftentimes mistaken for awesomeness. Sad, but true ;) Beer is like water in our house… very expensive water.

  31. DeadRooster May 5th, 2008 at 1:06 pm

    Given your criteria, I am DEFINITELY a Masculinian; however, I have to confess I’ve worn pink in the past–but only because I look damn good in it!

  32. Jillian May 5th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
    @ DeadRooster- HAHAHA. You look damn good in it, eh? I’ll have to think on that. But glad to see you’re on TEAM MASCULINIAN!
  33. Random Chick May 5th, 2008 at 3:00 pm

    I am TOTALLY on the side of the masculinian…I like my beef cooked…not half-and-half. Plus, I don’t want to compete with a metrosexual man for the shopping. That’s my territory BEOTCH!!!

  34. Jillian May 5th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
    @ Random- Welcome to Awesome.

    Oh wait.. it looks like you already live there. Ha! ;)
