Just Manly Things

[ZeroParticipant 38]

I need to learn how to sew.

I’d like to eventually start a blog or website called “the single man’s guide to not starving to death” and specialize in recipes men will actually use. I don’t know about you, but I’ve looked through some cookbooks and thought “wow, I would f~~~ up that recipe so hard”. You don’t need to be a gourmet chef to cook great food, but some people need a little inspiration every once in a while.

 

If either of you think you’re even remotely interested in being part of that, let me know.

My mother taught me some valuable survival skills such as cooking and sewing on buttons.  In fact, she taught me to well that she claimed I sewed on buttons better than she did.

 

As for cooking, I took up baking my own bread after a disastrous attempt to do so using a recipe from a cookbook my mother gave me when I moved out.  My father gave me a book of bread recipes and I’ve been kneading dough for more than 35 years.

You guys are making me feel quite comfortable for several reasons. My house is jammed packed with mountaineering equipment…so much so I have to turn sideways to traverse some rooms. I started climbing in 1977 and it was my plan to eventually summit all of the 8000 meter peaks. Well, life is what happens when you’re making plans and I’ll be lucky to summit all of the Colorado 14ers before I reach my expiration date.

I too cook quite well and specialize in gourmet picnic  foods. I don’t know if it still works but for a long time a very good way to “earn” female “special attention” was through cooking.

As for sewing I’m limited to replacing buttons and usually lose a pint of blood in the process. Strange thing is I’m competent at sewing up (suturing) people. Anyway thus far replacing buttons and snaps has been enough. I want to mention here that there is absolutely nothing “girly” about cooking and sewing. A man should be as self-sufficient as humanly possible and cooking and sewing are critical self-sufficiency skills. Would you rather have to depend on an XXer to do it for you?

Well, it’s not hard to whip up a sandwich, and what about a Roomba? That’s pretty self-sufficient right there.

Living room full of guitars and tube amps.

Closet full of guns.

Refrigerator full of healthy food I want.

Nobody to bitch about my choice of meals that I cook.

Drive a sports car.

Ride a fast motorcycle.

Make good money and only have to decide what toy I want next with no one bitching at me cuz they’re jealous.

Freedom to beat beat my dick like a murder suspect at any time and in any f~~~in’ room I please.

HISTORY...learn from it, memorize it, DON'T repeat it...

Having 50 gallons of potable water, four months of canned and freeze dried foods plus dry goods and other supplies and a healthy array of home and personal protective equipment laid up for emergencies.

And when it comes to fresh, I cook three meals a day for myself from fresh ingredients… steak, eggs and bacon, raw vegetables, simple and delicious paleo-style food that females and children would hate. When my home smells like bacon and omelette, curried lamb and steak with red wine reduction, I feel pretty damn manly.

This made me LOL. thanks Chauvinist. GREAT idea. We should really make a MEME generator here. I just created one for website client and we TOTALLY have to have one….. where you can upload a picture and TYPE whatever you want on top of it. We could make a “just manly things” version too. That would be F~~~ING HILARIOUS. I would crack myself up just making it.

… in the style of http://justgirlythings.tumblr.com

Some Just manly things:

• Cozy T~~~!
• Dreaming of a relationship with Kate Upton
• Loving the term “women’s rights”
• Knocking her pumpkin spice latte out of her hand
• Not buying stuff just because it’s on sale
• Not taking pictures of your food
• Getting the f~~~ off Facebook
• Having money left at the ned of the year
• Not maxing out credit cards

Gosh, I could go on….

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Me and Chuck showed up at Russ’ place.  We walked in, and grabbed a couple of beers from the fridge, and sat down on Russ’ couch.  Russ was standing at the kitchen sink with his hands in the suds, scrubbing away.  Russ is a man’s man, you know what I mean?  Not the dishwashing type of guy.  He’s the speed demon snowmobile and dirtbike Kamakaze of the group.  So Chuck says “First time I ever seen you doin’ the f~~~in’ dishes.”  I said, “No s~~~.” and we both laughed.

“Come here for a sec.”  Russ said.  We went into the kitchen and stood beside him.  “Hold this” he says, smiling, as he pulls the crank from his CR500 out of the soapy water.  We almost s~~~ ourselves laughing.  “The new head & piston should give me another 5 horsepower.  Might as well clean up the crank while I’m at it.”

Swallow this RED PILL ===> Men will lay down their lives for their brothers, their women and their children. This makes Men useful as slaves. Women will lay down their lives for ONLY their children. To expect more from women is just a FANTASY created by society and reinforced by the unconditional love that we experienced from our Mothers. The key to freedom is the understanding that the woman you meet is not going to fantastically love you like your Mother did. If you buy into the fantasy, then she is your new master. If you do not buy into the fantasy, then she is nothing, and you retain your freedom.

Having your kitchen smell like Hoppe’s # 9 Solvent as you clean your shotgun on the table.

Same here, also ironing my Shirts. When I am telling this to somebody the reactions are always funny. They don’t believe me. haha

I like to wear Shirts in every Situation, at work and in my freetime and I wearing them well. Because of my Body height I Need some with extra long arms, mostly more expensive than the ordinary one…Money doesn’t Count hehehe.

Computers & Monitors everywhere, mobile devices in every pocket, beer enough to survive 3rd WW and oodles of Audio Equipment.
A safe with Cash and Gold reserves.

CHEERS!!!!

Hi (Soulman gone) Ghost.

Tube amps, Great. In my younger years I built Tube Amps by myself for some local bands. There was a time when you just can get Transistor Amps and Tube Amps are not avialable anymore.

I took the original circuit diagrams of Marshall and Fender Amps from a so called Groove Tubes Handbook. I also built the Chassis and cases, with the possibility to look inside the amp. That Looks always cool when you see the glowing tubes.

CHEERS!!!

Like Hollowmile, I’ve got computer hardware all over the place.  On top of that, I share my apartment with all sorts of amateur radio gear plus I’ve got technical and university books and journals taking up lots of space.

 

Why would I want to give that up in order to make room for some floozie who only wants my money?

Me too, I have 6 computers running in the same room with me right now and a seventh that needs some work. It’s never cold in here in winter. Ethernet cables snaked across the floor and around the edges of the room, noisy stone age Catalyst switch.

If I had a t~~~, she’d make me throw all that stuff out. I’ve see so many guys who were forced to part with their beloved vintage hardware because cupcake didn’t like it.

Yup, people on Teamspeak always complain about the sound of the fans in the background. I really should replace it.

A woman in my house, f~~~ me, no way, she can live with the chickens, I’ll build her a layer box big enough, and throw in generous amounts of hay, that’s it! nothing else! The idea creeps me out!

Like having a dog that can pick things up and move them around, f~~~ NO! I could see it now; Her: I moved all your parts outside to the shed and “threw” them in there! and this has to go, and that has to go, f~~~ that! She has to go! Worse yet “I don’t feel safe” then I have to go! f~~~ that!

To sum it up………F~~~ THAT!

The only woman that could handle my house would be the unicorn. It’s actually kept physically clean though. The wood grain in the wall studs is tight and close versus the sponge wood today’s homes are built from. Ain’t no particle board in my house. The land is at the top of a hill that will not flood in a Cat 5 hurricane storm surge not that I’d be here for that event.

@rennie: A woman would just love my quad processor Dell PowerEdge server with every bay stuffed with drives. That bitch can move some bits when I need the processing power. Ethernet cables snaked around the kitchen add a special touch for the decor too. I’ve got a computer for nearly every single room too.

I know so many guys that let just their wives make the final decision on which house to buy which is usually some gaudy McMansion that won’t be standing in 30 years. One friend is getting ready to get evicted as his wife picked a house they could not afford, and he has a good paying job.
