Where are all the butch, sexy straight men?
This isn't meant to be a sex post, moderators! I was just wondering, since the Repukes tend to claim all butch men as their own, if there were any on this board who could prove them wrong.

I know one thing. If you're out there, you aren't watching The Wizard of Oz on TBS like I am!

1. Send me one if you find extra
I could never date a republican. There heads just aren't attached to their bodies correctly.

3. I'm sexy and straight.
"Butch" is the problem. Do you want me to be aggressive and domineering? Do you want me to treat you with disrespect? Do you want me to ogle other women and denigrate you in the process?

Don't get me wrong; I KNOW men and women are different; I revel in the differences. I'm just asking you to define your terms. We men are a bit confused these days as to what is required and requested of us.

6. That's a good point...
I didn't really mean men who treat women disrespectfully. Of course THEY are Republicans. I guess I just meant masculine in appearance and mannerisms and liking football.

I'm so happy! You're out there! YAY!!!

7. Don't be too happy too soon:
I almost never date any more, and it's mostly because I don't like playing a game where the rules change without notice.

I am a burly (not yet fat) man who can be gruff and rough and crude; I listen to Howard and watch Dave and I make many jokes that ridicule the relationships between women and men.

I am also an artist and polymath who believes that women are truly the better half of humanity; I have never hit a woman, and have never hit a man who didn't need hitting.

My sensetive nature may get me two or three dates with a woman. but she will inevitably abandon me for Danger Man... the man who hits her and tells her she is a whore.

If you want a good man, start treating the Good Men of the world better, and encourage your sisters to do the same. Reject the Abusive Fuckers. As long as you keep rewarding their behavior, that behavior will continue.

8. You are bursting my fantasy bubble!
But seriously...I'm with you. I have never understood why any woman would be attracted to an A-hole. Isn't it more fun to be with someone who's sweet and someone you can talk to and someone who doesn't expect you to simply be his mindless sidekick?

I guess we should ask Lynne Cheney and Laura Bush.

9. I'm glad you are happy, and I'm glad you are "with" me.
Why won't you date me?

Seriously, look at your last three boyfriends... did you ever give a nice guy more than two dates? Did you ever give a nice guy a chance?

Wanna hear something fucked-up? You wouldn't date me. I'm too busy working three jobs and supporting other peoples' kids to be "fun." You want to date Danger Man, who can take you to a club and dance until dawn.

I'm not pretty, but I'm a provider and I'm stable.

You will never meet me. I don't hang out in bars, I don't shop in fashionable stores, and I can't dance.

Good luck.

17. Someone has taken a bitter pill this evening!
Come on! There are many nice guys in the world and I can't imagine that the non-gay ones don't end up with nice women if they want to!

Could it be that you're only attracted to bimbo-esque women? Aren't they really the ones who go after the jerks?

How badly am I stereotyping here?

I'm just asking! ;)

19. Let me add to my point!!!
Pamela Lee Anderson or whatever her big-breasted name is...(I see her in Malibu all the time - she's actually quite pretty, but I digress)...look who she is attracted to...Tommy Lee, Kid Rock and the like.

Now let's take...mmmm....Susan Sarandon. Pretty, but smart and opinionated. Look who SHE is attracted to. Tim "liberal weenie" Robbins.

See my point?

I don't.

27. Wasn't Pamela also abused
as a child? I remember hearing something about rape. Could be something in her subconscious re-enacting the abuse. Might not be intelligence level or as simplistic as people make it out to be. Who knows. We try so hard to make patterns out of human behavior when really it's chaos theory.
There is a lot of mirroring that happens in relationships and plays a huge factor in who we are or aren't attracted to.

23. Good questions.
The ages of my last three girlfriends: 47, 36, 18. Not a bimbo in the bunch.

If a person can't talk turkey about life and the world around her, I have no interest. None.

I might be a bit bitter; I won't deny it. That is what separates us. I can admit that I am bitter, and specify my reasons, while you will do naught but complain about the dearth of men while you make unrealistic demands which you will never enumerate.

What the hell is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with US?

24. 47, 36 and 18????
You've covered all the legal age ranges. Maybe it was just bad luck. Don't give up. And make sure she can talk turkey on Thanksgiving, as well as on the other major holidays.

According to my crystal ball, in a month you will be posting on the DU about how in love you are and I will just be hoping that your thread falls to the bottom really fast so I don't have to read about any more people who are sickeningly in love while I am watching The Wizard of Oz on TBS on a Friday night and drinking Mike's Light, the low calorie, low-carb malt beverage.

5. I don't know about butch, but I'm a strong, aggressive man.
I can be aggressive when I need to be (sports, video games, etc.), but, unlike butch republican men, I don't treat women like shit. I also don't hunt.

But I'm not a player. I'm a student manager.:P

Just smart. I don't EVEN get into football and stupid shit, but as one ex put it, you are just SUCH A GUY. Wearing a baseball hat backwards and saying nigga a lot does not make you "butch."

21. I am the antithesis of a butch male.
Lets see:

Skinny, nerdy (in a dvorak kinda way), only sport is skateboarding, and drum roll **I plucked my unibrow this morning**.

29. There's a few.
I'd probably go with this type of man myself as long as he's a more of an independent thinker and doesn't have that team sport "jock" mentality to go along with it. I definitely like men who look like men.

31. If you saw all the campaign photos I got in the mail
where you could see Arnold's make-up, you wouldn't think that he was butch. Besides, real men have brains -- and therefore vote Dem ;)
