Man Appreciation Thread

[Cindy]

I'm reflecting on Donna's post.

I had a similar sort of experience. One man I was nervous coming out to was a guy who I worked with for many years ago.. He is a big Ocker guy, rough as guts and very nice and tolerant.

When I did come out to him, in a drunken out of control crying conversation when my life was in tatters and trying to live as a guy, he hugged me and kissed me and said everything would be OK. He knew about Cindy for years before I came out and he and his wife and children have been awesome.

He is still one of very few work colleagues who when we meet will walk up to me, kiss me and treat me as he treats every other female friend.

I like men. I love many of the men on this site, they are very close to my heart.  Some are also in line to be a floor rug decoration  (sorry honey!).

People are people and it is people who can understand and accept themselves that are nice to be around. But many people be they trans* or cis don't understand themselves. That can be a problem.

I think I need some fur guards.  BTW, love your new avatar a whole bunch. You look awesome!

Emily, car talk makes sense. As to the party and all the shenanigans that go with, that is humor at its best.

I love talking about cars and women, honestly. I don't drink though, so I would be useless in the party talk. I hate the idea of posing control of myself. But getting a sexy woman in a sexy car...definitely something I'd brag about to my dude friends.

I have an alcoholic friend.  He said he finally figured out that it was more fun partying after he was sober a few years. He got to laugh at their antics and drink (soda) free all night. He could have just as much fun sober. 12 years and he is still sober and partying.

He probably has more stories than those of us who still drink.

I love cars. But when you start talking cubic inches and displacement and god knows what else, I'm lost. I just want them to shut up, get out of my way and let me drive. And from my own experiences, yes, seeing your best friends do the funniest things while drunk is awesome, because chances are, they wont remember in the morning.

[LordKAT]

They may remember, but who would ever admit it?

Thanks "Amy The Bookworm". I have posted a comment earlier in this thread - but you have expressed my feelings so much more eloquently than my attempt! Thank you.

And guys would go about last friday evening party - who drink how many gallons of booze, what happened to him before he passed out, how terrible the headache was on the next morning (or whenever he woke up/was found by police in the middle of nowhere and had no idea how he got there and what was his name) and that this all was such a great fun and they are going to do exactly the same but worse in the next week too...
Oh, and another one was why car X was so much better than car Y, because it has this, this and that. Could go on for hours...
During those moments I always was thinking that I must be from another planet  (had no idea about trans* back then).

Or in my case, discussing the newest episode of how i met your mother, new video games and insometimes let the oers browse through my copymof the new pc games magazine (i have a subscription and so get them before they are in stores), used to talk about minecraft, internet memes, quite fun, but let's jut say i don't remember much of physics last year, i was too busy with iur weekly in-classroom update/discussion. Why would anyone care about cloes like girls do? Sure sme look very pretty, but as a discussion piece why not something like tv sows. I often kow stuff aut some shows that others don't know yet thanks to my english skills and i like teasing one pf them with spoilers. I like being a male and i am gladi am cis and ost ys i know don't talk aoutbhow much they drank.

I appreciate men. I was one for 20 years after all.

I never really got what the big deal was about them until I came out to myself as transgender and now four months later I am all about them. I still like women but there's just something about a man.

Just wanted to say...

I appreciate my man!! 9 years this last August, he makes me very happy and would be miserable without him!

Me too, and that he is fully accepting of me transitioning! He loves me unconditionally and I him, so lucky! I definitely picked a good one!!

I revived this thread just to be appreciated again. 

That is all, LOL!
