I relize at the age of 22 I might as well be married. This happened yesterday.

I was on the couch with my g/f. She loves design shows. Every Sunday we watch Design Star together. Kinda gay...but it keeps her happy.

My best friend Luke calls to see what I am doing. We make small talk about work and talk about dude stuff. "Have I got the new Body Kit on my Mustang?", "Did I see that chick that came through the store?", "Are we still hittin' the beach tuesday?".

My g/f asks me my opion about something on the show. I reply "If they had Sparkle Josh on their team, they could have sent him out shopping. Dude has an eye for things to pull a room together."

Luke stays quiet for a few seconds. There is a pause. Not one of "Collecting Thoughts", but one of "The hell?"

He has ragged me about it all day. All I can say is the shows have gotten my house and yard lookin' Pimp.

Yeah... not sure what Design Star is, but if you're watching it, it probably sucks :p

Just kidding with ya buddy. I like watching fix it-upper type shows. Though I haven't watched anything enough to remember an actual shows name...

So this show is about.. designing stuff? Deciding what kind of flowers to go along with the tablecloth and things like that?? :lol

I cut my teeth on interior decorating with the Sims. I really enjoy stuff like that, actually.

Prime example of the feminization of society.

Go eat some red meat, yell about football, and drive your car really fast to make up for it!

Poor Verse, he's been neutered by HGTV and TLC!

I think you've confused "married" with "finally comfortable with your sexuality" or something of the sort. I thought married men were supposed to sit in front of the TV and switch the channel from the interior design shows to the game. ;)

He's frightening by what he's becoming.

He needs to start doing more manly things! Like BBQing, and drinking beer, and watching baseball.

You see, he finally understands the yin and yang of life.

BBQing, drinking beer and watching baseball (well... football in my house) is awesome....

BUT

It's even better when you can BBQ in your own custom-designed BBQ area outside, drink beer inside your gourmet kitchen with stainless-look appliances and granite countertops and watch the game on a 50" LCD/Plasma screen while on a comfortable black leather chair with surround sound blaring from the ceiling.

I've never seen Design Star, but it sounds like something up my alley :)

What I tend to notice lately is that guys get into this sort of thing a lot. They also tend to express their feelings a bit more. Women, on the other hand, are losing their ability to cook.

I've been with a few here and there. Guess how many cook better than me :)

Mind you, Christin is the closest. She makes spaghetti I'd sell my soul over, and the best tuna sandwiches.

Though, the questions is... did women ever truly have the ability to cook, or were we just making due because men chose not to?

If you think about it, most of the past (and present) five-star chefs are male. Mind you, women are making a good show but above all, most professional chefs are part of the male sex.

It's like I tell my husband... There are a few things I'm good at in the kitchen: I can cook Italian like no one's business and I'm an excellent baker. I'm better at handling the finer recipes -- like delicate souffles or omelettes -- than my husband is... but he's the one who can throw crap together in a pan and have it come out as an awesome thai chicken feast.

The good thing is that the line is blurring on both sides... I'm no longer the only women that I know who loves sports and hates soap operas. My husband helps with the housework and he cooks... I drink beer and watch football.

Everyone wins. :)

I blame this on men being more competitive.


:shakefist Our one domain as women was the kitchen, and now you rob us of that too?! You bastards. You'll be giving birth next.
