hey guys, where does posting on forums fit within this masculine/fag dichotomy? eh?

I know that, I'm referring to the general stereotype.

Your average manly man's main interests are sports, beer, cars and tits.

UK newspapers and lad mags are a prime example of the sector of society I can't stand.

But then I am probably just bitter, as the only vaguely masculine thing I am interested in is computers/video games, and whilst generally a masculine area of interest, they are not manly as such, lol.

So you don't like titties? I do.

I also enjoy cars, beer and sports, but I know exactly where you're coming from. So many guys are simple-minded and boring (even if intelligent), to the point of only being able to converse about topics that they're interested in or understand (i.e usually the aforementioned four). In a very small way I can sympathise with women who claim that "all guys are hopeless".

Being a computer programmer for a living doesn't really make the pants come off the ladies as quickly as one would think. Unfortunately, that's what I am, but I don't really tell that to chicks right off the bat. I want to seem like more of a manly guy, but I guess growing up in the suburbs with a fascination for computers, techno, and video games never really taught me how to be confident in myself around the ladies.

I have a lot of cool friends who aren't computer geeks, and we do drugs and party, but they all have girlfriends. So basically, I'm on my own at parties, I can't have my single friends back me up or be my wingman. I'm a student too, of computer engineering mind you, which means there are ZERO opportunities to meet chicks. Any tips for a single nerd like me?

If it isn't, it should allow men to become more feminine (and women should feel free to be more masculine as well). Our generation is much more tolerant regarding this, but there's still a long way to go...
