It is true no one pays attention to male trousers. That’s why I sometimes like to wear the humdrum, workaday ones below.
I recommend these ones for you.

A nice shirt and no one is the wiser.

Agreed, a giant group hug while wrapped in denim would most likely involve alcohol.

Alright, I’ll take it a step further.
Men should wear skirts, kilts, and dresses so the jewels can swing free. Woman should wear pants.
Also beer is a womans drink since it contains phytoestrogens, and men should drink wine for resveratrol.
You should really try to be more original with your trousers. Although the lace-up pink leather pants seem really practical for lifters. Just loosen the laces around the quads and calves.
That’s actually pretty logical.
Those are just oversized shoes.
But they might be the answer for the giraffe/pants problem Chris brought up recently.

That’s right! The giraffe-man centaur could just wear lace-up pants. Mystery solved!

No love for tearaway basketball joggers?
A friend and I went hiking in Peru on the Inca Trail. We went to a locals bar in Cuzco, which brewed its own beer. These were the only two types of beer that they served.
All the men drank this very bitter, cloudy beer. It was edible, but very mediocre at best. All the women drank this beer which was fermented after adding several types of local fruit and spices, It was incredibly tasty. Don’t think I have ever had a better lambic. But maybe some of that was “hunger being the best sauce”, like food you eat while camping tastes way better than the same thing would at home.
Anyway, I wanted some more of the spicy beer with fermented fruit. One of the Peruvian dudes wanted to fight me for ordering that - a women’s drink! He must have been four feet tall. He was pretty wasted. I just laughed. My female friend thought it was hilarious.

If I’m going to drink alcohol, it’s going to be something islandy or fruity, and i dont care.
Yes I’ll drink that Mai Thai in jeans and cowboy boots. Fight me.

That reminds me one time I was in a bar with a group of guys I kind of knew (like I was friends with one of them, but they were all coworkers.) They are in full bro mode and ordering dumb shit like jeager bombs, Jack Daniels shots, and so on. Then one of them orders a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. My ears perk up because I like wine too. The other guys start ribbing him and the very attractive tattooed amazon of a bartender casually says something like “So guys, do you know what a real man drinks?” She then slides the glass to the guy, holds his hand and says “Whatever he damn well wants.”
That shut them up.
I left soon after because I was tired and they were shitty company, but I keep waiting for a time to use that line.
So respect the fruity drinks.

I like Fernet Branca too, not just because some cooks supposedly like it. Jaeger is for frat boys. I like wine too but must admit I don’t often order it at a bar unless eating there. I don’t judge it. But being a lifter, and being too old for frequent hangovers, I usually go for less sweet stuff. I like Guinness and gin.

Ugg. I have a very short list of foods I hate and cough syrup is one of them. Plus that’s something I associate with guys who wear skinny jeans ordering.

I was going to form a club for people in skinny jeans who like chicken sandwiches made with three pieces of bread, bacon, lettuce, mayo, tomato - and then cut into triangles, splayed in a circle with pickles and chips in the middle, held together with frilly toothpicks for some reason.
Guess you are not in the club.
I’ve never ordered Fernet at a bar. I just drink it sometimes if cooking good Italian at home. Perhaps next years new year resolution will be to eat pasta every day of the year? (Not really. I’m a lifter, man.)

This whole story was great! And that sounds delicious. There’s a little brewery/restaurant here that offers seasonal beers like the fruity one you mentioned. I’m a fan.
Amazing. You’ve got a knack for story telling! Thanks for posting that one here. My log is more fun with you guys in it.
First of all I love that attitude and don’t understand the concept of manly drinks. Second of all, I’d join you! Fruity drinks are the best. One of my closest friends is from Chiapas Mexico and she makes the most insane margaritas. The calories are absolutely worth it.

Energy is back, but lower body strength isn’t all there. I’m trying to ease back in without tweaking anything. Next week’s workouts are going to be completely derailed. So November is just my “out of shape” month. No biggie.
Other Stuff
I finally got back to shooting after a three-ish month hiatus.
The class was exactly what I needed to get my confidence back. Our first drill started really close to the targets (those bowling pin shaped things), and then as we knocked one down we moved further away and repeated the process. I needed a win and this was a perfect drill for that.
It helped that the instructor was so easygoing I think he got all of us gals on our game. And the camaraderie with those ladies felt like a giant dose of oxytocin. It’s funny how we’re all cheering each other on, giving hugs, and high fives while learning how to put bullets into predators.
