Men are like…
Remeber his six-pack? Arnie became “a fat girly man” (source)
Monday last a debate almost the force of Cyril raged on physical traits of men. But it was only a question of time when the debate would switch to male personal traits, which apparently bear at least as much weight as a well-formed six-pack or beatiful hands.
Today’s asignment: Which personal traits are a must in a man, and which are a big no-no?
To give you some material to get started, here are some stereotypes for you to chew on:
Men are like…..Placemats.
They only show up when there’s food on the table.
Men are like…..Mascara.
They usually run at the first sign of emotion.
Men are like…..Bike helmets.
Handy in an emergency, but otherwise they just look silly.
Men are like…..Government bonds.
They take so long to mature.
Men are like…..Parking spots.
The good ones are taken, and the rest are too small.
Men are like…..Copiers.
You need them for reproduction, but that’s about it.
Men are like…..Lava lamps.
Fun to look at, but not all that bright.
Men are like…..Bank accounts.
Without a lot of money, they don’t generate much interest.
Men are like…..High heels.
They’re easy to walk on once you get the hang of it.
Men are like…..Curling irons.
They’re always hot, and they’re always in your hair.
Men are like…..Mini skirts.
If you’re not careful, they’ll creep up your legs.
Men are like…..Bananas.
The older they get, the less firm they are.
