Act like a man, not a caveman.

um, i can see where you’re coming from on this- but some men have NO ass and ANYTHING that will give them a little shape (abductor) is okay with me! i like my mens with a nice shapely ass

Just get implants.

Oh Yeah! Another thing. Men should’nt get implants OR use that crappy machine.

You’re right, but if they’re like a lot of guys at my gym, they dont even know what the squat rack is for and they sure as hell cannot deadlift. [/quote]

Then maybe they should hand in their man cards. In the words of Dave Tate, If you can’t handle it, then try the Stairmaster and stay the hell out of the weightroom! The rest of us have work to do.

People should work hard while they’re in the gym. That’s my rule. Work hard in the gym. If you attempt to pick up chicks or talk on a cell phone, you should be beaten mercilessly.

Pet peeve. /rant

its the principle of it, someone fucked with his shit, thats not cool.

That is a sign of insecurity. Grow up.

Well whoses to say that anybody,even you,wont be even slightly pissed off at the fact that someone destroyed a piece of your hard work or property for the sheer spite of jealousy or personal amusement?

I own a 98 Honda Civic,It had a few dents and dings on the side and it is by no means a “Nice” car but it was “Mine” It was one of the very few things I can say that I owned and that I worked hard for. A car to me is more than a means of transportation,its one of the few times I have control of something and where im alone and I can collect my thoughts between point A to point B.

So really,im not really pissed off at the fact this cunt keyed my car because it is already banged up already but the fact that this guy is fucking with me. Eithers hes jealous or doings this shit for fun. Like I said,it may not be the fastest,It may not be the smoothest,its not even the prettiest…a few dings here and there,the steering wheel is badly aligned,and transmission might need to be checked…oh yeah…

and Tires need to be balanced next time I go to Auto Tech but Damnit Dude…this is MY car.

You seem to have a lot of anger and frustration in your life. Listen, people are going to mess with you your whole life. Someone scratched your paint, boo-hoo. It’s not worth getting violent over. Maybe some little old lady accidentally ran her shopping cart into your car and didn’t know.

A thousand innocent things could have happened to cause the scratch. Some people ALWAYS assume the worst. When the OP said he went out with a baseball bat to find the guy, I thought “there’s a guy with extreme anger issues that is going to end up in jail”. And over minor damage to a POS car. Childish.

I think he is just venting his frustration. Maybe he wanted the baseball bat to dent this other guy’s car. You can usually tell what kind of scratch it is. A real “key” job is often very long, wavey and deliberate looking. they have happened to me as well. I didn’t really care at the time because my car was a beater.

You are condemning this guy for being human? That would piss off anyone!

I didn’t condemn anyone. I just pointed out that going after someone with a baseball bat for scratching your car is pretty dumb and foolish. Try explaining that to the judge. The guy sounds young and angry. He might need someone in his life to tell him to calm the F down.

Kids are so freaking posessive and hyper-aggressive today “You stepped on my shoes, scratched my car, broke my cell phone…I’ll kick your ass”. I bet he looked pretty dumb walking around all pissed-off with a baseball bat in his hand. I do wonder what he would have done if he had found the guy.

[/quote]

most likely he would have asked the guy, in a frustrated voice of course, why he keyed his car. then he would have said “that is not cool bro.” he might wiggle the bat around for attention and then say, “if you ever do that again, i’ll hit you with this bat.” he would have also said dude alot. pretty scary stuff.

i would wager that he never went looking for anyone in real life though.

Genetics are the key. I swear, my ass is so fine that someone in my family history must have mated with a cheetah or something. There’s no other way to account for it.

Dood, sorry about your ride but this thread had me rolling, and props to starting it off with the Pulp Fiction dialogue. If I may recap/highlight for those wishing to skip to the last page and post their own thoughts…this is what you missed:

Don’t fuck another man
Don’t drink another man’s beer while fucking his wife in his vehicle, unless he had previously looked down and over at you at the urinal…then it’s OK, just make sure your belt buckle doesn’t wreck the upholstery.

Fellas,
You can’t write down the Unwritten Rules of Men. Once you’ve done that, they aren’t unwritten anymore. Do you now realize the folly of this activity?

Also if he ends up banging the ugly chick, you are only allowed one joke at his expense. Then it is forgotten forever.

And dont fry bacon with you shirt off.
This is a pussy rule. Real men can fry bacon in the nude. A real man might even fry his own sausage if he felt like it.

Always bring the banana to your mouth, never bring your mouth to the banana.
Hahahaha. Whenever my wife asks me what we’re having for dinner, I always answer “penis”.

Don’t post a picture and ask what your bodyfat is.
This is especially true if you’re just a little bastard.

Men should never use the abducter/adducter machine.

My own 2 cents would just be…
don’t wear gloves in the gym and
know how to merge your vehicle in traffic.

I saw a guy holding his gf’s purse at a bar a few weeks ago. He wasn’t just holding it, he was WEARING that bitch over his shoulder like he was gonna pull out a mirror and some lip gloss and get pretty for someone. I doubled over laughing and pointed at him for about 10 minutes.

Any man seen putting a pad on the bar before he squats shall be made to wear hot pink spandex to the gym for the remainder of the year.

Any man seen wearing spandex for reasons other than losing a bet, bicycling, or if he’s just had a sex-change operation will be made to recite the following haiku 100 times without stopping:

Moose knuckle there,
Bulging out disgustingly,
You’re no camel toe.

Real men don’t care what you think!

I think the real problem with keying someones car is that it is a cowardly act done behind your back, which leaves the keyer feeling some sor tof false power and the keyed feeling powerless and victimized.

If you have a problem with me be man enough to look me in the eye and say so, don’t sneak around behind my back and think you are powerful because you got away with it. (But always remember if you do confront a random person on the street they may be having a really bad day or just be insane and the consequnces may not be worth the immediate gratification you think you will receive…)

you didn’t just write a haiku on the Unwritten Rules of Men thread, did you? Please tell us you took it from someone else.

Don’t cock block!

-this applies to ladies too, especially to the DUFFs (Designated Ugly Fat Friend).

HAHA DUFF’s thats great…

Men don’t approach other men in the shower at the gym and try to strike up a conversation while your naked.

Older gray headed guys seem to do this and in my mind I’m thinking WTF?

Absolutely. You must work out at the same YMCA I do. What’s up with old men and nudity? They just hang out in the locker room butt-naked and talk to each other like it’s cool.

It is totally bizarre. The first time it happened to me I was freaked out thinking it was some kind of gay thing. But now I wonder if it is just that older guys are not as modest or maybe they are thinking hey, look at me I’m 70 plus and in great shape.

Still, I’m pretty modest, so I’m thinking can you give me a second here while i get some clothes on.

LMAO!

I’m glad I don’t workout at the local YMCA anymore. I know exactly what you are talking about.

I was in the locker room after a workout one day, watching tv in the lounge area of the locker room. I was drinking a protein shake when some guy came into the lounge area butt ass naked, sat down and started talking to me. I almost spit my protein shake out.

And then there were the times I’d walk into the lounge area and see 5 old naked guys standing around shootin’ the breeze. WTF?

Do old guys just not give a shit about that stuff?
