I've always been a man of the people
People of all walks of life like me.
But the best thing is when you get old you no longer give a fuck what anyone thinks -

Joe likes weed, boobies and fighting.....
How can ANY male take umbrage at that?!?
Edit: I forgot the @Dennis_DeYoung s probably don't really give two fucks about boobies - but weed and fighting is still cool, right?

True. I've been to Mardi Gras.
What happens in NOLA stays in NOLA. Except that burning sensation when one pisses.....

I, too, have contempt for men who get barbed wire tatoos, and energy drinks are fs. Do I need to apologize?UW_Doog_Bot said:yyyeeeeeesshhh, "I couldn't get an interview or even a comment from this guy so I tried to live like him" this is some vox level reporting.
I think this tells you most of what you need to know about the author.
[The bedrock issue, though, is Rogan’s courting of a middle-bro audience that the cultural elite hold in particular contempt—guys who get barbed-wire tattoos and fill their fridge with Monster energy drinks and preordered their tickets to see Hobbs & Shaw. Joe loves these guys, and his affection has none of the condescension and ironic distance many people fall back on in order to get comfortable with them. He shares their passions and enthusiasms at a moment when the public dialogue has branded them childish or problematic or a slippery slope to Trumpism. Like many of these men, Joe grumbles a lot about “political correctness.” He knows that he is privileged by virtue of his gender and his skin color, but in his heart he is sick of being reminded about it. Like lots of other white men in America, he is grappling with a growing sense that the term white man has become an epithet. And like lots of other men in America, not just the white ones, he’s reckoning out loud with a fear that the word masculinity has become, by definition, toxic.] -

That was exactly how I felt reading this piece. The writer went to great lengths to emphasize and establish his own metrosexualness while grappling with his attempts to comprehend an alien meathead species like Joe Rogan.GrundleStiltzkin said:I felt like I learned less about Rogan than I did about the worldview of self-loathing males.

I'd like to think there is a 3rd lane here for non-metros, who also loathe meathead, barbed wire ink, bros. I stand with @creepycoug .DerekJohnson said:
