    Someone called me less manly today because I don’t eat meat and eat a lot of vegetables lmao. Like you could be 6ft1 180 lbs minding your own business, eating your veggies, and some guy still feels the need to try to be a tough guy or something.

    Being manly is eating dead animals.

        I’m coincedentally looking for gifts I want to receive this Christmas, after my mom has been pushing for me to make a list for weeks now, and so I went on to websites of some stores I visit often. I choose ‘for him’ and it’s books on how to BBQ, meat knives, whacky nerd shit like star wars, something about fires or stuff, alcohol etc. I then went over to the ‘for her’ section and it was herbs and spices, a garlic press, how to make your own cooking oil, vega(n) cook books, basically stuff I actually want lol.

        Like, I’m a man. I’ve always identified as a man. But my god could the whole ‘for him’ section of a lot of stores use an upgrade. Give me my rack where I can put my herbs and spices on, damn it.

          Yeah, that’s exactly how I feel.

          Like, I’m a man, but I’m not a “beardo” or have a triangular physique.

          I’m a small person and that’s how I imagine myself as and that’s how I imagine some of the characters that I create for my fictional novels.

          But now everyone in fiction has a beard or looks “swole” or whatever.

          I like people who are slight or even small, like myself IRL.

          Hell, whenever I played a video game, it was always as someone who had a slight build and was a “thief” or “assassin” or whatever sneaky class I could play as, if I had the option.

      Manliness is when no fiber and chronic constipation.
