Casual interest yes, takes horoscopes seriously no.

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 47 minutes ago

and casual interest is definitely okay with me, therefore gimme a 'yes' to astrology. I have a serious interest in metaphysics so if someone can match me on my journey through quantum consciousness and they have a ton to say from an astrology perspective, I'm all ears. Anyone who is that interested in how the mind works is probably interesting person, imo, and worth having at least as a friend even if they think the hour I'm born determines who my woman is lol

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 12 points 14 hours ago

Why history? If a woman came up toe and started talking about bronze age trade routes and the contributing factors for the fall of the Indus valley civilization I'd be more than happy. Wait the guy who made this is a gormless pissant, astrology is a red flag.

5 beers/hour is pacing yourself? My man you are an anxious alcoholic.

There's a reason the dude has to have quick reference for his name

Well, that and the fake name

In Boston, yes. We are a city of high functioning alcoholics.

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 hours ago

high functioning

I mean… have you ever been on I-93? Or even been cut off by someone who appears to have murder–suicide in mind, like anywhere in the northeast (it’s always Mass plates)?

It's surprising more men don't wear heels when dating. Women have all sorts enhancements, it's only fair we do the same.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

Ha I think there’s a long list of enhancements that many women do that more men should do. Put effort into your outfit, smell decent, drink a little less than normal when on a date.

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 65 points 1 day ago (4 children)

And thigh highs and skirts and makeup. Would be epic.

[–] srestegosaurio@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago

Tried black nails for a bit and got mixed reviews. Just started in a j*b so I guess I would not be painting them outside weekends.

Gotta go out more tho.

[–] Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I tried the nail polish thing but I work with too many chemicals that strip paint for it to last more than a day. Rings are also a big no no in my job because I work with electricity. I guess I could do eye shaddow but my eyelids are naturally dark enough that I've already been accused of wearing it before.

Skirts on the otherhand would be excelent for keeping me cool. Just might not be great for my coworker following me up the roof ladder.

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You have a tough job for femboys :(

[–] Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

There are pros to working in my field for femboys though. For one example, regularly lugging an 80lb pack of tools up and down roof access ladders has given me calves and thighs that could make a person weep. Femboys are also typically better equipped for working in confined spaces. Additionally, having ready access to a hardhat, hi-vis vest, clipboard, and toolbelt enables so many crimes. I can also see some of my hi-vis workwear having serious potential as club wear with a bit of modification.

[–] StarMerchant938@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

Stupid sexy hi-vis.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 15 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Actual heels would be feminine. The concept of high heels is feminine coded. The strut you do when wearing heels is feminine coded.

I once bought a pair of steel toe redwing logging boots for a job I had. They had stupid high heels - like, I must have got a 4" boost. Which I found really annoying, since Im already 6'4". But I can almost guarentee the guy who sold them to me bought them just for that feature, as he was probably a 5'4" blue collar dude with a big truck.

Guys have no real qualms about using fashion to make themselves taller. Heel lifts are a thing. You can probably add 3" to your height without anyone noticing with a 1" platform and a 2" lift or whatever.

What they have a problem with is doing things that are feminine. Which - and it is weird I have to point this out - makes sense because they do not identify as feminine. Every time this topic comes up in left/liberal space, there's a barrage of comments about how "men are dumb and insecure, why dont they just dress up like pretty girls - wouldn't that be fun?" Which is so weird coming from a place that constantly talks about affirming peoples' genders.

Like, imagine you are talking to your friend who is a trans woman. Would you tell them "ugh, but you'd look so handsome in a suit with a short haircut. You have such a nice jawline - you should highlight it by growing out a beard!" Wouldnt that be really fucking weird? Wouldnt it make literally no sense at all, given this individual's chosen gender identity? Wouldn't it be considered quite rude and offensive to try to pressure someone into fitting your preference for their gender expression, rather than their own?

Anyway, off topic. The point is, men have all sorts of options at their disposal, but most of these things are designed not to be noticed. The masculine role is to look good, but not flashy. To be put together, but not look like you tried to hard or care too much about your appearance. This is because what men are supposed to bring to the table are skills, resources, and personality. An overemphasis on appearance on the part of a man is seen as trying to get ahead or gain status through superfluous means - advancing without contributing to the group or gaining the friendship and approval of those around them. And this is seen as in poor taste, and is frowned upon. So as a man, if you want to enhance your appearance, you should only do it just enough that it can't be noticed - or just enough that you look a bit more stylish or put together than the other men around you.

[at the end of the 18th century] men stopped being ornate and detailed ... men "abandoned their claim to be considered beautiful" and "henceforth aimed at being only useful"

I think shoe lifts are more common than you'd think, we've had a couple of major politicians accused of wearing them, but it's kinda like hair implants, you've gotta be pretty insecure to get them in the first place (I've tried shoe lifts, they're awful over maybe an inch), so they're too insecure to talk about it either.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 2 points 14 hours ago

I used to have a 1.5" leg length difference, so I had to wear a big lift in one of my shoes throughout middle and part of high school as I had a few surgeries to slowly fix the difference. It was a major pain, and I often rolled my ankle in gym class and sports.

The three question marks are the answer to your question. You will look obsessed.

That’s some pace…

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

When one woman tried to contact me from what my man brain thinks could be some sort of attempt at a date, she listed out going to the gym, music, cooking, and my eyes almost wanted to roll into my skull.

I went for it anyway, didn't really date, just investigated the person and talked normally.

She raised too many red flags and my reaction was fuck no!

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

Care to share more details? Gym, cooking and music just sound super generic, but maybe I'm already too old to get some cues

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 6 points 20 hours ago

Lol @ the pace yourself instructions
