The Man Date

now, granted, I may both be old-fashioned and socially progressive, but apparently they're hiring New York Times reporters from Ames or somewhere:


Anyone who finds a date with a potential romantic partner to be a minefield of unspoken rules should consider the man date, a rendezvous between two straight men that is even more socially perilous.

(Note that the article is written by a woman. I'm not complaining, just saying if I had that kind of luck several of my papers may have already been published in the few remaining feminist journals.)

((It's almost like me writing a book on cunnilingus, except that I know what I'm talking about.))

Granted also that when I am meeting my men, I usually have the crutch of several alcoholic beverages, playing cards, sporting events, television, juke-boxes, the authority of the cab or the insitution, etc., etc., but that is all beyond the point. The point is, I am a good man date, and I dare any one of you wusses to be as good a Man Date as me.

Although rumor has it that Zornig likes to visit an Art Museum or two, particularly if you leave him a plate of fresh fruit the next morning to show that he's not just a piece of meat.

Except, like me, he is just a piece of meat, one that likes to get passed around! Here's to sharing the beef jerky, boys! No carbs and high in protein...
