Mad Men

[Violette]

Ok, before the resident feathers or manes get ruffled and think I am referring to them, I am in the process of watching the current hit TV show-Mad Men. Those ladies are so pristinely turned out, and the gents so delightfully chauvinistic, boyish, unemotional, cliquish, and good old boys clubish, that when compared to the way men behave now, I started to wonder, where did all that un-political correctness go?
Come on guys remember when men where men, and farted with impunity? Do you wish and long for the good old days? Or tell us what it was like growing up during a time when boys ruled? Compare and contrast it with how men are expected to behave now. This should be fun.

I didn't have that in my life, my mother was a strong lady that threated us all fairly but expected more from the boys as far as chores were concerned, she was clearly the boss in the house but never undermined my father, more manipulated him (in a good way). He was/is a great man who never let us go without even if it meant him working 24/7 to do it.
Is farting, burping and scratching our balls really a sign of a man or is it a strong persona that is willing to make and take hard decisions and his ideals are to care for the ones he loves even when they are quite capable of taking care of themselves.
I hate when ladies sometimes feel the need to be equal and pay there way when out, I know you are equal, I know you can pay for your own drink and open your own door but let me have the honour of doing it for you and BTW, if you fart in public let me lesson your embarrassment, take the blame and apologise instead of you..

I must agree with you. I really do prefer being taken out and looked after. Bugger this equality rubbish, I only want that when it suits me. I think the emasculation of men in Society has gone too far.

I love being taken out and fussed. I mean FFS, I don't generally have a problem with sensitive men, but some of this is being taken too damn far. When he starts having more products in the bathroom than me, I do have to question the balance of roles.
Now don't misunderstand me, I want my man sweet smelling, clean and groomed. But not necessarily, plucked, waxed, coiffed, bleached, buffed, manied, pedied, and concealed. That is taking the biscuit and my Mac makeup.

I have also noticed a different urge in men of today..they want to talk about things. They want to analyse me. They want to analyse our relationship. Nooooooooooo! I am so fine with the basics.

Don't you love the clothes in Mad Men. I mean, in particular, the women!! When they're getting down to it the men have all that lace and garters to entice them and arouse them! A lot of the women are strong and know how to use their attributes very well to get ahead!!
PS I love the drinks cabinets in the offices which are used often!!

Sweet mother of god, I fucking hate this! Talk, no sweetheart, you listen I talk! End of! This isn't a democracy, this is a monarchy and I am the Queen!

The other thing I hate, is when they want to get all romantic and make love! Just fuck me and role over please, I have had a tiring day sucking cock and want to go to sleep now. I might be unique in this.

Ah yes, the pretty boy syndrome, hasn't really caught on in Ireland yet but it is creeping in, I blame the mothers and fathers, they had it hard so they are over compensating and mollycoddling their kids to a point where if they had to do a hard days work they'd be running to the beauticians to fix their nails afterwords..

I think what bothers me about the society we live in today is that sometimes men feel the need to be apologetic about who they are.

We're naturally hairier. As a result, there seems to be this marketing campaign telling us that we need to remove all hair on our bodies that isn't on our faces. From wrestlers waxed chests to footballers getting back sack and crack done. And don't forget to moisturise!!! lol If I wash and my skin feels tight, it's because I've washed properly, not because I need Nivea.

We have more testosterone in our bodies. As a result, we can be more subject to certain emotions like anger and the like. This is perceived as negative, when anger can be a huge force for action. Indeed, the lack of anger in this country seems to be indicative of the economic situation we find ourselves in (unlike France this week, for example), but I digress. Anger can be a huge motivator.

We are emotional. Now, I am not a woman, so I'm not going to draw similarities between how intense female emotion is with respect to male, but the fact that males in their 20's have a very high suicide rate in this country is indicative of a problem in releasing their emotions (in my opinion). We get lonely, happy, depressed, elated, all of those things. We should be allowed to show it, just not in a youtube best cry ever kinda way. lol

Men and women are equal. As a result, I will treat them equally. I will open a door if I get to the door first, but it's not because you are female. I expect you to pay your half of the bill unless it's a present. Just as I'm not into overgrooming of males, I don't like overgrooming of females either. I keep clean, shave, keep myself fit, and have been told I smell nice. That's all I need.

I like to be treated with respect and I absolutely will respect you in turn. If I talk to you, it's because you have a brain and I find you interesting, not because I'm trying to analyse you. Most escorts I've met have been genuinely interesting people.

Now all of this is not saying that men and women are the same. We're not. But we are equal.

The day I have more 'product' in the bathroom than my partner, is the day after my sex change has been completed.
I'm all for men looking & smelling more presentable for their lady, but the best you can hope for from me is to be scrubbed from head to toe, clean shaven(including down below) and smiling......well most of the time anyway.
