When did people stop doing this?

The word "mancation" rules that right out.

mancations

I watched 'Brokeback Mountain' yesterday and am getting a kick out of that word.

I would never go on vacation with just dudes, part of any good vacation is getting laid and since I don't cheat on my girlfriend I would need to bring her along. I go out with the guys all the time though. Why is this new and newsworth again? Who doesn't go have some beers and watch the game, play a round of golf, or something similar?

Guido thread?

I'm having a hard time equating "mancation" with "intellectual salon". Maybe it's just me.

And Egoy, I think your girlfriend is quite lucky. Go you!

This is astonishing and bold. Men have never done anything like this before.

how wide is your stance if you go on "mancations"?

The soundtrack:

"We like to think of it as a 19th-century intellectual salon"

That is a very intersting way to describe a titty-bar.

What's a "Man's Night Out?" If you need your woman's permission to go out occasionally without her, you're not a man to begin with.

I won't even accept that the term "mancation" even exists. The word "Man" does not rhyme or in any other way match up with the syllable "Va-."

Mancation = sausage-fest

who makes up these words? and would i go to jail in exchange for killing those said people? no. but i would seriously consider it.

The Pink Force is strong with these ones.

guys night out = strip club

What in the pussy are you talking about?

Vacation -> Mancation
Vagina -> Mangina

Mangabond
Mancuum cleaner
Manseline

I wouldn't call my vacation with my guy-only friends a "mancation" but it is a great thing to head to Hawaii or Europe with just you and a few other guys.

I'm surprised this is a "story".

/"Mancation"? No. Bad as "Mansierre".

Mancations for Real Men:
1. Safaris
2. Polar Expeditions
3. Lunar Landings
4. Invading Poland

Let me get this straight......

If you were invited to bachelor party in Vegas, would you:

A) Turn down the offer.

or

B) Accept the offer, but take your SO with you.


/Flying down to Vegas for a bachelor party next month.
//Staying at Hooters.
///Good times.

Of course, those 'intellectual salons' were run by homersexhuals, too.

/approve

More importantly:

Is it a "bro" or "manzier"?

FTFA: "Boys learn at an early age that they need to please the women in their lives to get by," he says.

Ugh, it's so true.

By the way, the guy was kidding about intellectual:

FTFA: "We like to think of it as a 19th-century intellectual salon. Men getting together to debate politics and philosophy, to discuss the metaphysical underpinnings of ... " - Monberg laughs - "Or just guys getting together and drinking on the porch."

FTFA:
"Boys learn at an early age that they need to please the women in their lives to get by," he says.

Ugh, it's so true.

It's not that you please them, it's whether they're satisfied that matters.

/there is a difference
//George Thorogood concurs

And don't you forget it.

Now go fix me a turkey pot pie.

/This is not newsworthy.
/Insulting each other is a uniquely American form of male bonding.
/These guys are lightweight chumps engaging in activities that are endorsed by the Seattle Times. Pathetic.

"Intellectual salon" my ass.

I've rarely have had a gathering a guys where anything intellectual was discussed.

I've been happily divorced for twelve years now. Every vacation is mancation!

/Enjoys his feralness

I'm dating myself here, but when I was young in Quebec taverns (basically beer parlours) were men only. Ironically, married men got an easy ride from their wives about going out drinking with the boys since a) their wives knew where they were, and b) no chance of picking up a chick because there were none.

I went to taverns because a lot of them would serve 14-year olds and were rarely raided.

All we did was get plastered and talk about hockey - pretty lame stuff, eh?
