What's A 'Typical' Male?

Typical Male?
Last night I apparently became a 'typical male'

Now when I woke up yesterday - I didn't feel any different - so the metamorphosis from butterfly to caterpillar must've happened when I wasn't looking.


Perhaps, I began thinking to myself, it's similar to other defining - but also less disguishable moments in your life - like when suddenly you become a "big boy now" or "you're old enough to know better".

In fact the change was so rapid - that even this morning I'm still finding it hard to come to terms with my 'typical' status.

. . . the question on by whose decree one can actaully be annointed a "typical male" and by which by-law you qualify is a mystery, I suggest to most men.

So what is a 'typical male'

Being gender cast and officially joining what I understand is the largest club in on the face of the planet could just be the highlight of my week.

Real men don't need to ask what they are.

Are you suggesting there are virtual and surreal men out there as well a typical males?

Wow - another altogether exclusive club.

No
What I am suggesting is that stereotypical version of people rarely means much.

Image is nothing.
Substance is everything.

There is a small group who like to slot people into one stereotype or another but the bottom line is that I do not find too many people who sit around wondering about their manhood. Most people are just too busy living to care.

Apparently it lurks in the recesses of all

Closely aligned apparently to the genus 'typical woman'

For some reason this brings to mind the line that 'Real men don't eat quiche."

Do you eat quiche MNG???

Hiya MNG

Did you forget to put the toilet seat down???

In my opinion a 'typical male' is one who is completely different to all the others - if you guys think that women are complicated... well try looking in the mirror coz blokes are not so easy to fathom out either!

Oh our lovely little complex world we live, full of us lovely complex people... I think we are all 'typical' in that way!

Real Men?

I guess surreal, virtual and the real variety eat whatever they want.

Is a real woman asking?

It's the people who think about it too much that do my head in.

Best you take people as your find them.

. . . the slithers of gold you come across you hang onto - the rest of the debris that end up in your pan - you live with in the knowledge that you have to search to find stuff worth keeping.

Stay well
