It's official: I have to turn in my man card

Let's get beyond the fact that I tailor my jeans and am a model. All in all, I am still pretty much a man (because I do motorsports--and usually well) and the fact that I send nudie pm's to the girls on this site.

But two reasons I am losing my man card:

1. I went to a figure skating show (I had to go since my little sister was performing, I hid myself in a hat and buried my head in my standing collar coat to avoid any recognition. The good thing is, if I was recognized by anyone in Fort Wayne, Indiana, it wouldn't really matter...since I moved away and they are still living in the city Men's Health (very credible journalism) named "stupidest city in the US")

2. I watched Project Runway, that is single handedly the gayest (not that there is a problem with that) show I have ever watched. But you know what, it's actually a pretty good/cool show. Bravo has some pretty good series, "Top Chef," "Top Designer," and this one, "Project Runway." And yes, I know, welcome to three years ago.

The figure skating thing would have been a man violation if it were anyone other than a girlfriend or a sister... if my brother were to show up for something I was involved in that would make his friends question his sexuality, he'd probably use it to charm the wimminfolk. But if he showed up because he likes to look at other men in tights, then he'd probably get made fun of.

I do not know what would cause some one to post something like this.
Unless they feel large amounts of guilt. Or they aren't really "male". I think Topher has been leading us to believe something that is not true. Well now it is.

I used to watch Queer Eye, but i watched it with chicks, so it was ok (i wasn't really there for the show)..... but yeah, project runway or w/etf its called is a bit limp wristed.... figure skating you get a pass on due to the family factor.

Now if you'd come on here and said you'd watched that show while lounging in lingere, or high heels, then we'd have a problem or a similar but different variety.....

Yeah, I had no idea either. I had a lambs wool and cashmere one, that was incredibly nice. Purchased as a graduation gift by my parents. It was stole one evening while I was out at a bar.

I did some calling around, when looking for a new one. Describing it as a standing collar, zips closed and then buttons over that, 3/4 length.

I was told I was looking for a "car coat"

Here's the one I got.

FWIW, a nice coat (constructed) is a good investment, you can wear it with jeans or dress clothes. I would never have replaced my old coat had it not been stolen.
