society fails...

[phrasemuffin]

... in which David isn't actually affected in any way, but still feels the need to say something.

LISTEN up, men: it's time to ditch your moisturiser and designer clothes, because the retrosexual has returned.

Real men who value biffo, beer and breasts are in vogue again, according to The Retrosexual Manual.

Society, you fail.

Why?

Just... why? Who actually cares what a beered-up retro thinks women prefer? Who would actually read a book like that? Retros won't; reading is for fags and metros (aka fag wannabes). Metros won't; it's a load of crap telling them to fuck off. Women won't; women actually have brains. Oh wait, I forgot; society fails. OF COURSE everyone's going to read this shit.

Wanna guess who the only intelligent person cited in the article is? Yeah, a woman. Surprise surprise.

GUH. Stupid manuals purporting to be the Answer To Everything fail, that's what. Yes, social trends change, and at some times 'biffo' will be cooler than at others. But there will always be women who want a big buff bloke, and there will always be women who don't. Making your self over into an extreme one way or the other is probably a waste of time...

the aslan conspiracy theory? do explain, please.

especially if you do the makeover and then find the woman of your dreams, and you lose her because she wants the other extreme. Individuals are called individuals for a reason.

Aslan Conspiracy Theory- Bedlam has a really detailed (personal) version of it explained here, but, more or less, it's an umbrella term for the attitude in some corners of Narnia fandom which says Aslan was a manipulative so-and-so, who plays with people's lives and happiness (and perhaps even with the best interests of "his" country) for his own ineffable reasons.

CARS. TITS. BEER. SPORT. SEX. STEAK.

Sorry, what? I can't understand it if you don't reduce the words to one syllable each.

... you get that I actually like women, right? That I think men are stupid and constantly throw rocks at them?

OH! I thought you sounded mildly retarded. That'd explain it. :)
