Girly-men

[bluemonday]

I believe I have the perfect proof to refute the pinball's assertion ([http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/relationships/9231-treating-women-like-ladies.html#post344897) about the lack of mating opportunities for the girly-man.

I give you:

He gets plenty...(bizarrely).
He is some variety of EF. He is camp as Christmas.

Other girly men who do/did well with the laydies:

Johnny Depp
Edward Norton
Pete Doherty
James Blunt
Marc Bolan
Bob Dylan (you could twist my arm on this one)
Alan Davies (the INFJ to Mr Fry's ENTP)
Ed Byrne
Eddie Izzard (it isn't necessary to wear drag-thick make-up to be a girly-man, but it does help)
Robin Williams

Mind you, 1 of these is v. hot.
4 are singer/songwriters
The rest are v. funny/talented in a special way

The odds are less favourable for your average pocket-protector type, as in all other things.

So, my advice to girly-men:
Be hot/talented
if you can't be hot, sing,
if you can't sing, be funny.

(Other varieties of men are available).

People are intrigued by contrasts within someone. Thus, people may be attracted to the perceived/potential masculinity within a seemingly girly male.

Physically girly men are pretty sexy. I'm all about the long hair.

Men who have womanly personalities... *shudder*

Never said it was required :P I actually don't care much about looks. This is purely based off of ideals :)

And I've had boyfriends in the past who had very feminine personalities.. They just don't mix well with me.

Ok, but the purpose of this thread is to make girly-men feel good about themselves. Try to stay focused.

You (slightly) redeem yourself with reference to ideals, so you can stay.

Consider how much easier it is for girly men to predate on women if they've been crippled by the funny. It worked for Mr. Blobby, after all.

no, no, the negative vibes are creeping back in (not to mention the negative creeps, who shall remain nameless/quoteless)

predation and crippling - not what I had in mind.

I apologize. I don't want to bring the tone of your thread down. :) truthfully, I like guys who are not what one would consider typically manly. Probably because the less manly guys have to depend on humor, intelligence, talents, as you said. And I appreciate those qualities. Why else would I have a crush on Louis Skolnick from "Revenge of the Nerds"? :D

[bluemonday]

LadyJaye is a true believer.

Hahah this thread reminded me of a friend and the girl hes seeing. Apparently shes really into girly men and allways want's him to wear makeup and tries to push on effeminate qualities on him. It was really ackward, he made it seem like she constantly talked about and being the weakling that he is he actually put on eyeliner for her.

Hotest girlie man ever was Novalis followed by Keats.

Poor short sickly Keats. I loved his "Lamia".

Noel Fielding. Comedian, Artist + Actor.
Also, he can look better/more girly than this.
Those cheek appendages aren't really working for him.


I see fluff in my future.

You bring these things on yourself. What did you expect in a thread entitled "Girly-Men"?

He'd probably hit you back - I think his interest in actual girlies is purely platonic.

You may well ask.

I don't know - I attract such freaky boys in the first place, that the "he's gay" thing never occurs to me unless the guy is just friends with me. *mightiest of shrugs* I just liked his wide openness. And he has some electric kismet with women, sort of like other "no-overt-gay-vibe" dudes Ian McKellan and Rupert Everett.

I'm being schooled in the class of V Profane. And it's a sad lesson.

[Jack Flak]

Really? McKellan? He's as....You know.

But it's still a ways off.

This thread is also going down the wrong track in that it is continuing to align effeminacy with gayness, rather than expound upon the concept of the effeminate heterosexual. It started off (almost) on the right track, but veered away.

Keats was consumptive. This guy - not so much.
(I'd consume him anyway.)

[bluemonday]

OK, Zil's post got me thinking about the most fantabulously Girly-Man in the history of Girly-Manhood.
[How could I have forgotten? the shame of it]

The man is Daniel Deronda (of course he's fictional :rolli:).

And this is his living incarnation:



http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/faces/images/hugh_dancy_small2.jpg

Hugh Dancy, looking suitably girly in a hat.



http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2006/11/15/hughdancy_124x69.jpg
Hugh, looking appropriately Victorian.



http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/faces/images/hugh_dancy.jpg

And again, positively irradiating integrity.
(You can't have too much Hugh).

Hugh doesn't got the smarts. But he is yumtious.

[colmena]

For some reason I think this quote is appropriate.


Let everything that's been planned
come true.

Let them believe.

And let them have a laugh
at their passions.

Because what they call passion
actually is not some emotional energy,

but just the friction between
their souls and the outside world.

And most important,
let them believe in themselves

Let them be helpless like children,

because weakness is a great thing,
and strength is nothing.

When a man is just born,
he is weak and flexible,

when he dies,
he is hard and insensitive.

When a tree is growing,
it's tender and pliant,

but when it's dry and hard,
it dies.

Hardness and strength
are death's companions.

Pliancy and weakness are
expressions of the freshness of being.

Because what has hardened
will never win.

[Magic Poriferan]

Hah. There's a reason I said it's still quite a quite a ways off. But I will have you know that while I do not posess authentic victorian style clothes, I do often dress in a way that people say looks antiquated. And, in all honest, if I could have real old clothes, I might. I wouldn't go way far back, though. I want stuff more from around 1850 or so. Mayb a few things from the 1700s would be okay.


I take it this post means we now have your permission to make exhibits out of your perceived weakness?

Then I'm afraid you took the wrong thing. :tongue:



(I'm not convinced you're all that girly, anyways :P)

Yet another reason I say it was still quite a ways off. I'm not extremely effiminate. But if you scan around my posting history (which is lengthy, I know) you will eventually find several posts where I've already gone into detail about the ways that I am effiminate. Never mind the fact that people do frequently assume that I am actually female.

I'm not really cosmetically effiminate. Though I did color my nails one time, but that's about it.

On another note -

* waits to see the feminists etc. who earlier talked about - how sons/boys/men, who have any traits associated with what is classically been considered the realm of women, are attacked by bullies as fags/sissies etc.- will respond to the thread. I've noticed they are often conveniently absent from such exchanges and dialogue when they come up throughout life. Lysistrata ! Lysistrata ! ;) *

Hmmm, I guess I'm not so big on teh girly-men. Does Hugh Grant count? I think he and Johnny Depp are about as close as I can get to Girly-Man Lust.
