Brian,
My first reaction was “Hold on, I’ve never thought of Brian Cromer as that Brawny guy. I’ll never see you in the same way. Obviously, I do not believe that you must be able to do certain things certain things or get totally wasted to be a man. Like you and other men of integrity I believe that being a man lies in the heart. Hey, I even like to occassionally use a loofa or a sponge in the shower. Hey, they create better lather and you know us men; we stink!!

ONE WORD: BU-YAH FOR BRIAN C.

Oh, don’t feel bad about shaving your pits. When I was at therapy down in Galveston I got into the habit of shaving my legs. The reason was because I knew that nobody knew me. So I didn’t give a rip if it gave me razor burn. Hey it felt good!

In my book of opinions you will always be included in the definition of a “Real Man”.

One last thing: GO YANKEES!!

I also think that definition is hilarious. Whats sad is that many a lost man would read that and think they have found something to reach for… I personally think, ‘Wild at Heart’, answered this question best. I remember you shaved your arm pits when we interned together!! Priceless. And keep up that VS lotion, I am sure Heather loves that.

That’s ridiculous, haha. My first thought on reading the definition of a “real man” is to wonder who the author is. I’m sure he is very hard on himself, trying to live up to those outlandish expectations (I assume he does not fit into most of the categories he describes, unless a woman wrote it, in which case I pity any man who stumbles across her). Anyway, I’m not sure what a loofah is, but I don’t like the sound of it. I am lacking in a few of those categories myself, but for some strange reason, I don’t plan on cracking down anytime soon.

I have to admit Brian—my first thought on the topic of this post was that you shaved your armpits. For some reason I still remember that you do that and I think it is hilarious Hope you guys are doing well!

I know it is hilarious and ridiculous all at the same time. That’s why I put it in there.
