Lady cyclists - emasculated puppy dog?

[XmisterIS]

Has anyone noticed that new coffee advert on the tellybox?

Anyway, it features a series of very preppy men talking to the camera as if to a woman in a faux-sensual way. See here for an example: http://www.youtube.com/user/CarteNoireCoffeeUK?v=jl6hDn7p3LY&feature=pyv&ad=9149179495&kw=carte noire commercial 2011

Certainly they are a joke, and mildly funny at that, but the phrase that popped into my head when I watch those adverts is "emasculated puppydog". I can't imagine that women actually want men like that (sure, he's a pretty boy, but a couple of dry backhanders with a D-Lock would sort that out ... ).

Surely what women really want is a man who eats bolts for breakfast and brings home a nice phat mammoth stake in the evening? Anyway, I hate instant coffee, I will drink nothing other than fresh-made real coffee, which I drink from a dainty cup with the little finger outstretched in a particularly dainty fashion.

I don't know that I find any of them especially attractive, or unattractive, but I dislike the stereotypes of women the ads paint - self obsessed, clingy, shoe fanatics...

Personally, I like men who can do stuff. Preferably practical, but artistic too. Probably the skills I admire least would be sporting ones, but then I'm just not interested in sport. I think I like men who have skills I'd like to have myself.

A chap doesn't have to be a raw steak eating macho man, just capable in a useful way.

I imagine that would give a person terrible, copious and very foul-smelling farts - great loud drawn-out 1-minute-long buttock-rattlers that smell of raw sewage ...

Then, just for you, Jaques, our Mr. Continental...

Not my type - don't want to date a man who spends longer getting ready than I do.

What I want is a sense of humour, the ability to explain particle physics using lego and potatoes, an healthy inner child, a love of the outdoors, a healthy respect of the morose and the balls to shoot me down when I'm wrong. Oh, and horn-rimmed spectacles.

I think there is a big difference between someone who panders to your every wish at the drop of a hat or the bat of an eyelid and someone who gets on and does stuff.

It is possible to just get on with stuff that needs doing without the fuss, overly long waiting time or servile nature, regardless of gender.

Is he one of those metrosexuals?

Is he one of those metrosexuals?

he might well be. The jumper and beard are dead giveaways. He might even be JGE. Pandering a speciality.........

They may well be well-groomed smooth talkers, but they'll have stinky instant coffee breath if you snog 'em
