Being A Bloke





There has never been a more difficult time to be a bloke.

These days you have to be pretty sharp to impress the ladies. Lets face it, between the computer and the turkey baster, there isn’t much left for us to do.

We’ve become accessories, chunky charms on the bracelets of independent women.
We should have realized our days were numbered when they bought out cute designer gizmos for taking the lids off jam jars…

There’s no doubt about it, nowadays if you want to make them yearn, you’ve got to earn it..
But it wasn’t always that way.

Once upon a time, back in the days when men were men and the sheep were scared, we had a certain authority, things were very different.. It was all so much simpler then.

A short walk over, a quick whack over the head, she has stars in her eyes for you alone, and it’s back to the cave for some Neolithic action on a mammoth skin rug.

Now that’s what I call clubbing….

I think it’s fair to say that men look back in awe of those times, and maybe it would be worth the cold cave, raw meat and fleas to recapture those times.

I blame Adam for this, it was easy enough wasn’t it? Have what you want, when you want and beautiful young Eve to share it all with… but don’t eat that one thing… Easy!
(what was he thinking?)

Hmm, this boy had to be given some encouragement, but in fairness, it was new territory for him.
After years of fiddling with his fig and worrying the animals, he was bound to need a few pointers.

Fortunately, Eve was a bit more clued up.

I’m sure she made a fine sight standing there in her naked loveliness, her pippins in her hands, a giant python wrapped around her lions.
One glimpse of her fruit and veg on display and Adam decided to turn over a new leaf.
For the first time in ages the animals felt safe bending over at the waterhole.

Sadly, it all ended in tears when the man upstairs got to hear about their frolickings.
..and so we end here and now where men change every few years to suit the new requirements.
Shaved chest or no shaved chest? “Haven’t you heard? …bulging muscles are out this year” …. I don’t go for that at all I must admit.

I’m just waiting it out until what I have comes back in style….

There are many who would trade places with the guy in the middle photo.

Such a fine specimen in the first photo. A work of art indeed. And why does the lady in the second photo still have her high heels on? Flip flops are rather more appropriate wear.

YEH...we have been kept down by the 'woMAN' all this time. But I best not say that too loudly because all the women I know are lionesses and all the men are mice. I, however, like it that way. I am too lazy to be responsible for this world. Just tell me what to do and I will do it. I am done with making decisions. Then I hvae someone to blame when things go wrong.

Hmm...
Did I mention that I live with 15 men?
16 room rooming house. me and 15 men.
I am the Snow White of the building.
I have 3 at my personal beck and call.
Fortunately I can cook and do the bitch doctor stuff.
the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and up!

F*ck feminism. I love a real man!

First pic? That's how I sleep, 'cept not on a wall! Or with THAT many tats, and my belly isn't that big yet, and I'm bald! And I usually sleep indoors. But apart from that, 'tis me!

Actually I think the 2nd one is more like me! Except for the hair! I do like being dragged around by the willie! :¬)

Hi Gorilla, A favorite fantasy eh? Being 'taken in hand' by strong women...

Hello Madame DeFarge, He's a work of art all right, fancy him sleeping there all night and NOT being taken up by some woman? I'm thinking it's some kind of mens fantasy photo...

Hi Cal, All the women in my family are strong women, the men think they run the show...but we know better eh?! I love your little Neanderthal profile pic..Ugg!

Adorabibble, 15..greedy girl! LOL So who do we assume is lucky? the 15 guys or you dear girl... I'll bet you have some stories to tell about that state of affairs.

Hi Map, I guess nearly every man has looked a bit like this guy at some stage or another..few to many beers, cant be bothered going home..stuff it! here will do...

kyknoord said...

Let me guess, the dude at the pool is called Everyman?

Tempo said...

Kyknoord, Hi and welcome. Its funny how men seem to like this idea of a stronger woman taking what it is she wants. Is it just me?..but it does nothing for me.

Jen said...

You men have it so rough (NOT). I just received a message (typical of what I get) on Plenty of Fish titled "Very"...with one word in the body - "sexy." Is that really the best he can do? "Independent" women are just demanding a little respect. We still want our men to be men.

Tempo said...

Hi Jen, Granted communication is not mans strongest point, and somehow many of them still think a woman will come running if they portray themselves as macho...but one mans macho is often one womans moron.
I'm reminded that when you meet a strong handsome man..somewhere theres a woman who is sick of his crap..

Lyss said...

Women don't a man that grunts out a few sounds in front of the telly these days. There's a new challenge for men - quite daunting and challenging. To be open and honest and communicative, share his hopes, fears and dreams... without becoming a wuus!

Hiya Lyss, Men dont do 'communicate' very well, grunt is about the best you will get from most of us. Society is changing at a rapid pace...but someone forgot to update our DNA.
