So to get women you want sheets with a high threadcount and a dick with a low threadcount huh. I could see that becoming a saying. “I was drinking and it was limp noodle city, my threadcount couldn’t have been below 350.”
Why oh why, is everybody so concerned with other people’s opinions about how a man should act? As if being male means you should fit a mold of somekind. There is no manual, so forget about any kind of label, it will never ever come close to who you really are. Once you know who you are, everything else is just vanity.

Great rant, but I will admit I prefer to sleep on a minimum of a 500 thread count sheet. Just feels better.
1000 count is too damn expensive.
So now I’ll take my well rested, gentle sleeping ass out and play with my chainsaw.
I think any guy who even knows what a thread count means needs to grab a magazine filled with huge naked titties and engulf themselves within the pages until they feel their testosterone return to normal levels.
Gotta call bullshit Prof. X, respectfully of course.
My T levels are just fine.
Yes I know what thread count is. Simply put the more comfortable the sheets, the more comfortable the bed, the more likely she’ll want to stay in said bed for hours at a time having sex.

Ha,
I?m more decadent than both of you…
Silk sheets rock!
I have 1200TC sheets purchased from Overstock.com They are incredible, and my girlfriends have always complemented me on them.
Hey, there is nothing wrong with having a comfortable bed. And pleasing your woman pays some pretty good dividends.
If I remember right, I believe I paid about $250 for a king size sheet set. Worth every penny.

Ha ha ha that’s funny, but after marriage a man will eventually, by no means of his own, learn thread count from his wife. Women do that to men.
Sorry if this is an old topic but I JUST saw the mag today and read the article and wanted to sound in. With a response from my own blog.
Death of the Alpha Male?
OK now I don’t usually read Detail magazine…you’d usually have a better chance of catching me reading cat fancy or bikini waxing weekly, buuuuuut I was at 7-11 getting a soda when I saw the cover of their 5th anniversary issue.
“Death of the Alpha Male!”
How the American Man went limp
and why we’re better off for it"…
now obviously I HAD to get this, if a war was being waged against me I must know my enemies. Sure enough it was the same rehashed metrosexual drivel I’ve heard before. A some latte drinking pansy deconstructing anything and everything associated with conventional masculenity in a pathetically feeble attempt to convince himself that he’s something other than a pansy…even going as far as to imply that being a pansy is the next step in the evolution of man.
They talk about pedicures, removing nose hair, learning some shit about thread sheet counts…whatever the fuck that is…and then say it’s the norm…
Well lemme bust some REAL numbers for you. There is NO such thing as a blue collar metro sexual. You won’t see auto factory workers, iron and steel workers, contruction guys etc stressing over exfoliating shit on their faces.
So we have to assume that this is a phenomena of the upper middle class and above. If we assume that education and income are directly related…with less than 25% of the population having any post highschool education, AND with the population being pretty evenly male/female this means less than one guy in eight is even in the education and income level to AFFORD this kind of ridiculous and pathetic vanity.
When you consider that 90 of the nations wealth is controlled by 1% of the population that number drops even lower. And that’s going under the HUGELY erroneous assumption that education and money will by default lead to such pussified behavior. So my humble apologies for the readers of details but no, your affinity for hair care products, skin care products and other forms of effeminate gayity are most certainly NOT normal. And Mo Rocca getting a pedicure is hardly a fucking example of masculenity changing.
They went on further to site some limey scientist…(aren’t the brits all gay anyway?) pointing out the disintergration of the Y chromosome, implying that this is evidence of nature evolving the male of the species. The not so subtle implication is clear. They want us to believe that being a hairspray wearing nancy boy is the next step in male evolution and that being a wimp is somehow more advanced than being a male that’s actually…well MALE.
Once again the truth and fact leaves their argument in the dust. You see as society has advanced many of the chemicals we surround ourselves with daily have estrogenic like properties. You heard the phrase “You’re half the man you’re grandfather was.”? well to a degree it’s true. The chemicals we expose ourselves to have caused the average males testosterone levels and thus his sperm count to drop to half the level they were 50 years ago. The disintegration of the Y chromosome is a maligant side effect of male embryo’s and fetus’s being exposed in utero to unnaturally high levels of these chemicals because mommy washed her hair with shampoo containing placenta extract that leaked estrogen into her system while she was pregnant with him. The esposure to estrogen killed the T levels he needed while he was developing and thus his Y chromosome is going to mutate during this very important stage of his life…same thing would happen if a woman kept taking the pill throughout her pregnancy.
So once again…no, the slow demise of Y&T are not natural selection anymore than human clearcutting and overhunting are natural eveolutionary mechanisms to other species. It IS in fact a side effect of too much estrogen in many products we use including pansy hair and skin care products…pass me some lava soap please. As a side note to this…sperm count and sperm viability are essential for a species survival soooo if something is destroying the Y chromosome and that same something is killing testosterone and sperm counts in males then it can hardly be rationalized that this is a positive evolutionary step. The guy with the lower sperm count has a lower chance of passing on his pansy genes. So sorry Details readers…your lineage has a slimmer chance of continuing than it does for us grunting barbarians but on the plus side our wives love shopping with you, and telling you about what jerks we are…until we make up with them…then we get to fuck them while you’re TRYING to achieve an erection while an estrogen coctail is leaking into your body through your well exfoliated pores.
They go on further to say, and I quote…“ask any gay man and he’ll tell you, Macho is a posture, an act”. …dude…THEY’RE GAY!!! It WAS a fucking act for them!!! I swear to shit these assclowns don’t even think before they type do they?
Then they look to the amoral ways of animals. To justify the sneaky fucker approach. Pointing out that that weak gorilla’s will sneak into an alpha males harem when he’s away to impregnate the females…or that some fish will evolve to look like females…get a strong male fish to waste his sperm fucking them and then turn around and fuck the females while the alpha is away…“I’m not gay I just pretend to be gay to get the chicks.” …pathetic.
So not only does the writer think that being weak and effeminate are now good things for men to be…he’s also equating the new male femininity with dishonesty and cowardice and saying that THOSE are good things too.

Good post.
I liked the comment:

Hey, if a fish takes it up the ass, even if it’s a plot to score with a female fish, HE’S GAY!

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
Nice topic. To throw my two cents in, I’m not worried a bit about the so called end of the Alpha Male. I live my life on my own terms and I certainly don’t give a shit about what some article says in a shit mag. I’m married and have two kids and I don’t need a manicure to get a woman…I don’t ask permission to do anything but out of courtesy, I let my wife in on what I’m doing…and guess what, she does the same. There is no code, no rules, no boundaries. If you live with codes, rules, and boundaries then I feel sorry for you…no, actually I don’t. I don’t really give a shit what anyone else does.
KUDOS! Come-on, Alpha Males, let yourselves be heard!
Haha, you read Details magazine.

whatever dude you just gave yourself away by even noticing that your “girlfriends” had complemented you. i was tagging a girl once who was waay too into her ultra-high thread count sheets and i used sleep on her couch because those fucking things might feel all slippery when you first get in but they don’t breath AT ALL and you might as well be sleeping in saran wrap. if you’ve got any kind of metabolism it’s not possible to sleep in sheets over 300 w/o waking up soaked. same goes for those fucking down comforters.

You guys have been talking about sheets for a little too long.
Move on to fightin, killin or some other topic!!
I propose another exception the Retrosexual code on crying: The movie in question is Saving Private Ryan (where I almost lost it), or Blackhawk Down (where I was too pissed and shocked to lose it). Dealing with IT on a supreme level.
Also, I’m with the idea of offering vets a seat. People willing to die for me should be able to sit down while I stand. I grew up with a dad who was a vet of the Big Red 1, my best friend went in, at least 5 other good friends have been in and over. It just seems right. I may yet go in myself.
Not to be a jerk but this has been done… yes we all know that the standards of masculinity are declining steadily. it’s getting old to complain about it… and most of the people on this site probably aren’t ALPHA MALES anyway…
Let’s be honest here. Women, half the time, dont even want to marry a guy. They want to marry a woman. Meaning, even if a girl marries a guy and he is inheritantly different (masculine), she expects him to be like her best girlfriend. Real men are risk takers, they’re dangerous, ground breakers.
Many women want someone “safe.” I mean how many times have you ever heard a girl say “watch out Sarah that thing could blow your hand clean off.” Never or close to. Women arent like that.
“Where have all the cowboys gone?” Answer: You’ve turned them into girls. Men have slowly surrendered themselves to the constant beating of society. Initially the pussification was embraced but now men are despised for it. Nobody respects a sell out.
