The Macho Man

According to www.urbandictionary.com, macho is defined as:

male who cannot "lose face" in front of his mates or women. most macho men have the emotional range of a teaspoon and have enough empathy to fill the ink tube in a pen.

It says that women find this type of guy attractive.

I don't think it's attractive at all, much like the person who wrote this definition of macho:

M-males
A-acting
C-childish
H-horrible and
O-obnoxious.


We all know guys aren't always macho and stupid. If they were like that all the time, why would we be attracted to any guys at all?

Guys who cry while watching The Notebook are cute. Guys who need a hug when things go wrong are cute. Guys who aren't afraid to tell you how they honestly feel are cute. Guys can definitely be adorable when they stop acting all macho.

And when you have seen the cute side of them, it's even kind of cute when they act all macho because they think it'll impress you, or they're trying to impress the dudes. (Don't all dudes know that they're girly in front of the ladies? Can't you excuse your dudefriends for being non-macho when the chick's around?)

But wouldn't it be cuter if they were just normal in front of you and the guys? Why do they have to act like their masculinity is at risk? Only real men can wear pink, right? Only real men can show off their feminine side without shame and without fear.

But at the same time, guys should still be guys. So I don't really know. I guess the point is, guys shouldn't think that being macho will impress the ladies, because it doesn't. We like it when you're cute. Of course, different girls think differently, so share your thoughts!

i disagree. i tend to be much more attracted to guys who appear very tough, at least as a first impression. weepy guys in pink dont exactly tinkle my fancy, they appear very vulnerable to me. and im not into your stereo typical arnold schwarzenegger meaty, hairy manly man. but in all honesty, guys who let off their feminine vibes right away often come off as gay. not to say that if you're dating one tenderness is prohibited, but guys who like to flounce around flaunting their love of Moulin Rouge don't really act as a magnet for the chicks.

Don't get me wrong, guys can still be guys, but I'm saying they shouldn't be afraid of showing off their less-than-manly side. Guys don't have to be feminine to be non-manly. Just normal. Not putting up a fakish macho front.
