Poll: Help me settle this.

Of course you can't eat a salad.

Bacon salad.

I rest my case.

Haha, some tasteless green crap with some dressing and bacon.

The problem here is not with your masculinity, but with your taste buds. Salad is horrendous, particularly if you have lettuce in it. Lettuce is evil.

 

[drisky]

..Is this serious? Why on earth would you care if people think you are masculine or not?
God.
Salad is good for you (and so is meat, if it's easy protean you seek [Oh, catchy!]), so go ahead and eat it.

Question: Do you feel the need to prove how manly you are if someone questions your sexuality?

Considering its his girlfriend, It is someone he needs to have stop saying it every time he eats one.

So I assume if you're on a date with a woman and you get a complimentary salad with your meal, it is socially expected for the man to hand the salad over to the woman so that she may have two.

Seems like your girlfriend has her head firmly planted up her own ass, no offence.

I think he means a Salad as a main course. Regardless "Seems like your girlfriend has her head firmly planted up her own ass, no offence"
This^

I hate salads, but your girlfriend is weird. Mine usually demand I put down the burger and order a salad or something healthier.

Well, if you want to get technical the whole "Men and Salads" thing is stereotypically meterosexual more than anything. In general a guy might have a salad as an addition to a meal, but not for a meal, and still be considered traditionally manly. The whole "I'm a guy who eats Salads" is going into Seinfeld/meterosexual yuppie type territory, heck they even did whole episodes of Seinfeld about things like the cafe where they went to get "The Big Salad" and so on.

Whether the standard is fair or not, doesn't change the fact that it is a standard, and your girlfriend isn't exactly wrong in noticing this.

You should be flattered that she cares enough to let you know. Whether you care or not is another story entirely, but it is something to be aware of.

NO! Men can only eat raw meat, steaks, live rabbits, the hearts of their slain, and powerthirst.

Seriously: I enjoy greens more than meats. And I fucking love bacon.
Mostly raw greens though. Most are not the same when cooked ;_;

 

[Owen Robertson]

Lettuce + oil w/flavour = god. It's also one of the most customizable dishes. You can put anything in a salad really. So bitches be trippin'

 

[irani_che]

I enjoy a good salad, however my girlfriend tells me It's weird and not masculine, It's been going on for a while now, so once and for all help us decide!

if you ever have to question if something is manly or not then you have immediatly failed and lost ur man card


You could be banging a stripper while eating a steak pausing to take shots of tequila or scotch while being the old spice guy.
The second you stop and have ask, "Is this manly?" you have lost your masculinity

 

[TheTim]

If the salad's have meat then it is masculine

if they don't its not as masculine

Point. Must have missed that part.

 

[Dr Snakeman]

I voted "No", but that's just because I hate salads. I mean, I eat my vegetables, but something about nomming on leaves is a bit off-putting for me.

Go ahead and order your salad, not because it's what anyone thinks you should be eating, but because you are a man and you want one. A real man does whatever the hell he feels like doing.

 

[TheScientificIssole]

That's fucking retarded.

 

[Pegghead]

You kidding me?! Depending on how you make them, salads can be like an orgy of bread, bacon, cheese and orgasmic dressing (and maybe a couple of veggies thrown in there).

I guess regularly eating those small, hard-to-pronounce, un-croutoned/cheesed salads wouldn't be the manliest thing to do, but that pales in comparison to monstrous food orgies of cheese, veggie and bacon.

 

[Soods]

Eating salad isn't "masculine" but trying to be "masculine isn't "masculine" either.

 

[FaceFaceFace]

Is dying of obesity masculine? Because I fail to see how trying to be healthy is only for girls.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

Eating salad is for wusses.. Real men eat barbed wire! D:<

OT
Yes, of course it's okay. Why wouldn't it be?

 

[Neonit]

if the only thing manly about you, is choosing meat instead of salad.... then you have already lost. also, i find your lack of faith in your own "masculinity" disturbing. that is a problem. not the salad thing.

dont let your "manliness" be dictated by such foolishness as salad or not.....
