If your conception of manliness is so impoverished your role models are queers...
Come on now basil, I know you're smarter than that.
What do we advocate?
1) aloofness/teasing and not pedestalizing pussy
2) being fit/cut/lean and generally in shape
3) dressing well and being fashionable
4) eating healthy
5) living in nice places with good logistics
Aren't all of those things stereotypically associated with gay guys, or at least a certain segment of urban gay guys? I could link to a discussion thread on RVF in support of everyone of those ideas.
I don't equate manliness with being gay, but large portions of their non-sexual lifestyle are exactly what we preach. BTW, I believe the guy who wrote one of the best books on what it means to be a man (The Way of Men) is gay. We have non-trolling threads advocating putting moisturizer on our faces for god's sake...are you going to tell me that comports with traditional manliness?
I think it should be pretty obvious that the feminine aspect of gay guys is something NOT to be emulated. However, I think there's a little bit too much of gay = cooties around here (don't mean you personally). We should take good ideas and concepts from wherever we find them if they will improve the quality of our lives and lead to smashing more girls.
