Is your DH/DP more of a Woman's man or a Man's man?

[Irishchic]

I felt it appropriate to pose the question following on from the woman's woman/man's woman thread.

My dh is definitely a Man's man, though I would prefer it a bit if he was a bit more in touch with his feminine side. I think the fact that he never had any sisters and grew up with a fairly strict patriarchal type father is largely to blame for this.

should probably have made that clearer

You're wrong there AF, DH and me are both hardcore gamers. The only differnce is that he likes 1st person shooters and I like 3rd person ones.
Gaming is like Sci-fi, you either "get" it or you don't.

I was most disgruntled when we went to a gun range in Vegas, they tried to palm me off with a pink M16, a fucking barbie machine gun, how pathetic is that? Did they ask DH if he wanted a pink one?

hardcore gamers ?

is that playing rude games then ?

I never got Sci Fi either, unless it's written by Margaret Atwood or suchlike.

Now don't be facetious.

Actually, those nutters who spend all their time immersed in online games would probably call us lightweights.

DH is into COD and I like the Tomb Raider series.
Even Sci-fi geeks have their differences, DH loves Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Hitchhikers, my all time fave is Stargate and 7 days - (btw, where is Reality? - she hasn't been around for ages, I know she's a married lady now but still).

Dh is definitely man's man. Will only come to a party if I promise him that my friends' DHs will be there. We have 'rescue me' signals which he seems to employ within a nanosecond of any woman speaking to him. He enjoys talking about football, work, art and snowboarding. If a woman other than me mentioned periods to him he would be horrified. I'm not sure I'd ever get him out the house again it would be 'I'm not going out with your friends again! One of them started talking about her period! FFS, can't I just stay home and do the washing up or something?'

My Dad was more of a woman's man and (coincidentally) had affairs. I think that's part of why I find DH's bafflement in the face of femininity so appealing.

Gamers...stuck at the developmental maturity of a 9 yo

Bec...your DH sounds funny. I like him...I just need to have a chat with him about the my peri-menopausal symptoms ...

...good idea AF, I've got a big pile of washing up needs doing

in his defence, I wouldn't say DH is a hard-core gamer at all. Some of the Dicks he plays with occasionally online are a million times worse and I wonder how many of them manage to hold down a relationship TBH.

Woman's man.

Not that into sports, no interest in computer games, not at all 'lad'ish, doesn't go out with big groups of men to the pub, very gossipy, massive feminist, sensitive, thoughtful, generally all round perfect.

He's a geek's geek. Gender doesn't matter.
