That’s what it said on our Smokin’ Jones garlic bbq sauce made in the Netherlands. Not often you see that phrase these days and it set me to wondering what ,exactly, would you think a ‘real man’ is ?

My DH would never eat quiche. Tell him it's a savoury tart and wolfed down !

Watching with interest, but not contributing
Grumppa Aw! Come on; join in! grin
Remember we are part of "The Brotherhood of Man"

Imagine John Lennon spinning in his grave should you desert us now!

Imagine Gransnet totally bereft of Grandads to maintain peace and tranquility!

Imagine Grannies only having themselves to banter with!
Btw; excuse the dangling preposition!

See you on parade ! hmm

Watching with interest, but not contributing (though Feirstein was right about quiche).

The American comic hero comes to mind - tiny head, massive shoulders like a bull, small hips. About as desirable as Barbie, the female equivalent.

Someone who can catch big spiders and evict them from the house without killing them?!

I can do that, and I’m definitely not a man, let alone a real one.

My late husband was Australian, not obviously macho in any way. More intelligent and sensitive. I wouldn’t have married macho.

someone who happily do the gardening because I hate it

Who needs men when you have a butch lesbian for a wife? swoons, looking over at DP

Nannashirlz Sun 25-Apr-21 14:45:28

If anyone finds a real man point him in mine direction since all the others are not lol

JenniferEccles Sun 25-Apr-21 11:11:52

Kleenex used to produce large Man Size tissues until the inevitable daft complaints forced them to re-word them as Extra Large.

I don’t hold out much hope for the barbecue sauce wording.

nanna8 Sun 25-Apr-21 11:04:14

Course they’re more macho. They invented it, didn’t they ?

Rufus2 Sun 25-Apr-21 10:00:27

Aussie men think they are much more Macho, they’re not
Katie59 You're confusing Aussie men with Aussie Sheilas! grin
Btw; It's ANZAC Day today!

As a friend of mine said - all I really want is somebody who can fix a gutter and take me on mini breaks. ???. Says it all ?

Nanna8 you’re in Australia, aren’t you?
Surely you’ve heard of this book which was current in the 80’s?
Definitely not for the current younger generation!

trisher Sat 24-Apr-21 10:31:29

Maybe it's a health warning for robots. But then why would a robot want sauce???

Blossoming Sat 24-Apr-21 10:20:21

I wouldn’t have bought it, I’m a real woman.

timetogo2016 Sat 24-Apr-21 10:15:13

As opposed to the other types of men,like the ones who don`t show love and respect to others.
Whats the betting it will be banned by the feminists.
Could we ask for sanitry products to be advertised for real women.LOL.

Just had it with roast chicken. Yummo.

Casdon Sat 24-Apr-21 09:21:39

The image in my head is the lorry driver eating a Yorkie bar. ‘it’s not for girls’ - probably banned now.

AmberSpyglass Sat 24-Apr-21 09:16:06

I’m still stuck on garlic bbq sauce - sounds delish!
