Man Dates

Yesterday we pondered if real men drank pink.

Now, male readers of MP&S, I'd like you to weigh in on the idea of the man date.

--Thanks for the tip, Ren. :)

You Said

1. Sports Bar or pub . . . do everything possible to make this your destination.

2. There must be at least one tv tuned into a sporting event at the time. Even if it's the Westminster Dog Show, because that's aired on ESPN.

3. Do what my co-worker and I do when we eat lunch in the cafeteria upstairs - IMMEDIATELY push aside any table decorations or fake flowers. This is a must.

4. Sit all laid-back and relaxed. If both of you are leaning in, resting elbows on the table, the flags are going up and bells are going off.

Signed,

P.S. Hitch ain't got nothin' on me.

I don't think most men actually think about it that much. It's just subconscious--there's some things you don't do one-on-one with a guy. Dinner at a fancy restaurant for example. Going to an art museum is fine though.

I agree with Eric, and the people in this article have put way too much thought into it, leaving the bonding experience seeming contrived. If it feels funny, then it probably is. If, on the other hand, you have to put serious thought into whether or not you have obeyed "straight" rules, then you are probably gay and either 1. do not know it, or 2. do not want anyone else to know it.

The best bonding males can do is that done around the poker table. Only males can sit around overtly trying to take each others money and walk away better friends for it.
