Products aimed at men are really patronising and shit

[RosesandMoonshine]

Like this tee shirt.
How much REAL MAN crap can they cram onto it before it implodes?

It is like the male version of the Prosecco stuff that took over gift shops a while ago.

Beer, Bromance, Mancave, motorbikes, hiking, mountains, bicycles, gym stuff, etc. We know such rubbish has its female counterpart only too well, but the guy stuff needs some attention, lol.

You're not wrong, it's like boys clothes, Super Hero, Be Cool, Little Dude, etc etc, I find boys clothes to be so booooring and predictable, all camouflage and dark colours. I don't have a DS, but I have nephews and I won't buy them anything with slogans on as they're all just so patronising. Same reason I won't buy my DD anything with things like, Smile, Be Happy, Love Life etc etc and all that shite.

Well I am female and want this tshirt, sadly there's no other colour than pink! If it was white I would have bought it. Must add I do love pink but not for a tshirt.

I thought similarly last night watching tv and some advert came on for a shampoo, the man has to SLAM the bottle back down in the shower SPLASH!!! What a MAN! like he’d have broken the little shelf if he was at that craic in real life.

Stuff that is aimed at a particular sex is usually naff and rubbish.

I don’t know any man that would wear that. It’s genuinely shite. 😮

My DH has a shampoo with huge lettering on the bottle MEN EXPERT!!!!

He is vaguely embarrassed by it so it lives in the cupboard, but he does like the product, so..

It's like many outlets are terrified of insulting or lowering masculine identity. It's tragic.

That advert for shampoo where she whispers its for over 40s is equally shite....as is the head and shoulders advert where the cook young things are swinging their hair about or shaving it off, whilst all laughing their heads off...

I guess back in the day we had yorkie bars...theyre not for girls....but these days with marketing being a big business its all crap on steroids

Your post has minded me of Christmas op. I was really struggling to get/think of anything to buy dh. Dh drinks rose wine and could I find a rose wine gift pack for him no..... because they were all aimed at women. It Royally pissed me off and apparently still does 😬

That advert for shampoo where she whispers its for over 40s is equally shite....

Especially if the implication is that we’re supposed to be shocked that she’s over 40…

I’m pretty sure that any male grooming product that claims to be ‘specially formulated for the unique PH balance of men’s skin’ or similar is exactly the same stuff as the woman’s version, but in a black or silver package.

This was my favourite and a much more accurate 'man' product (a birthday card).
