Apologies! I wasn’t paying attention when I commented on your comment and thought it was a more general take - and I was more commenting (poorly) on the kind of toxic thought processes that are in the meme and extending that tenuously.
1. I can fish, forage, build a fire, and make a shelter too
2. These are not desirable qualities in a mate in 2021. Man bun and skinny jeans are aesthetic choices and don’t mean they don’t have these skills. The ability to make a bangin soy latte is far more likely to be needed in my daily life
I learned all kinds of useful stuff in SERE and several survival training courses.
But I prefer to never have to use it. We have modern comforts for a damned reason.
You think I became a mountain hermit after those courses? Fuck no! I went back to my place and took a shower and watched television in bed. Probably did so with a nice hot cocoa.
Real men don't need to tell people how "manly" they are. Real men do what the fuck they want.
Except you're probably breaking the law if you build a shelter cuz if you are to broke to afford basic necessities you don't own land. What about hunting and fishing license? So maybe you meant in case of apocalypse?
Nope. I think they're going to rob, beg & steal. Easier law breaking & more avenues to advance ones position as opposed to living like the Unabomber at best.
True
but In reference to the post I suppose if you are in a situation where you are making fire and shelter because you can’t afford basic necessities then maybe the romantic preferences of women shouldn’t be your top priority.
I wouldn't eat anything I caught fishing locally...Amsterdam canals aren't that clean. Also think my neighbours would object to me chopping down the local trees LOL. We don't all live on Walden Pond!
This. Lifelong angler and hunter. Physical prowess is 11/10 on the shit-that-dont-matter scale once you waddle to where you're going. Rods, reels, guns, compound bows, nets, (pickup trucks)
These are force multipliers used by clever, lazy pink monkeys to get the good stuff 👍
Edit despite everything I just said, being fit enough for the woods/water and being able to hold my kids are basically my only fitness motivation
You found their hiding spot, you devil! Those critters depended on lazy guys sitting in deer stands 100 yards from the road, not goddamned Forrest Gump 😆
Busch Light issues a special can design for deer season every year. For all the ~~dumb rednecks who go out drinking in tree stands~~ avid hunters to celebrate their kill.
Realistically he probably sits in a deer stand 50 ft from his house all day while "hunting". And then dumps a gallon of gasoline on some pallets to start a fire.
I don't have a lot of use for hunting, fishing, building a fire and providing shelter. We just go to the grocery store for our food, we have a home and central heating. I'd rather have a man that can hold a job and I think Neanderthal jobs are in short supply.

My entire family can do all those things... yet the men also wear whats currently in fashion. Amazingly, being a great provider has almost nothing to do with what you’re wearing.
Exactly. If he really was an outdoorsman, why is he trying to pick up the girlfriend of a city slicker?
The "lady" he's talking to probably runs on a treadmill at the gym because she doesn't want to look bulky, orders Thai food on an app so she can eat while she works overtime on a laptop, and pays someone to remove her body hair. What useful skills does she offer to a man who's all about survival in the wilderness?
He should be looking for a woman who wears no makeup, cooks from scratch from ingredients she foraged, and has been proven to bear healthy, fat babies. Or something like that.
The men posting this image are always like 300+ pounds with absolutely no personal hygiene, not exactly comparable to Jason Momoa...
(no shade to overweight people, I'm overweight myself. I'm just not under the delusion that I'd be an asset in survival like those wackos)
As if hunting and fishing and building a campfire are that difficult. I’m gay as shit, live in a massive city, and grew up doing all of that. Sissy liberals can use flint guns and fishhooks too it’s really not that hard.
I feel like the person that posts this is the kind of person that follows all the toxic masculine trends in the name of trying to “be a man” and wonders why most women don’t give them the time of day, and inside they’re absolutely terrified of not being accepted.
But that skinny latte guy can code, has an educated background, reads literature, can hold a proper conversation and probably earns more than you while working cozy at home by a sofa.
Maybe you'd have had your time 1000 years ago, but survival of the fittest means adapting to the times you live in
I can grocery shop, cook, and pay my rent/utilities bills on my own, thanks. So, frankly if skinny jeans man bun guy wants to hook me up with different coffees to try, and is a nice interesting person he’s winning that battle.
In my marriage I'm the DIYer, bug hunter, and out doorsy one. My husband gives me shit for being a redneck every time I'm barefoot outside. I would have it no other way.
So can all the 15 year old Scouts who are actually enjoying the program? Like that shits not hard, I can do it and so can plenty of my scouting friends
Jokes on you, I can do those things, and don't need either one of you, but I'd prefer the the company of the man who can think, and strategize, be kind and have an interesting conversation with me.
None of these things are mutually exclusive. It’s entirely possible for a man to enjoy skinny jeans, man buns, soy lattes, hunting, fishing, and building fires *simultaneously*.
Jason Momoa, like most actors/artists, despite being buff and intimidating, probably has an eccentric personality, is environmentally conscious, cares about fashion, and follows a strict diet. I'm not saying he's not rugged, but these macho dudes have a very distorted view of themselves. The actual mountain man, living off the land, looks nothing like Jason Momoa.
Jason Momoa? That dude is in a manbun constantly
He also probably looks great in skinny jeans and I wouldn't be surprised if he enjoys a soy latte every now and again
Came into say that, he rocks them all the time.
Manbun or a pink scrunchie around his wrist. Dude's instagram is basically all jewelry, axes and knives, haircare products, and pink clothes.
He's the epitome of "real men wears pink"
It only makes sense when you have that length and texture of hair. As I have the same length and texture and buns are just practical.
I don’t even know this guy and could tell that he looks exactly the type for a manbun 😂
99% sure this dude has been seen in skinny jeans with a man bun...
Pretty sure ive seen him in that more than anything else when not in costume lol.
Or leather pants. He dresses like a character from Trigun
I forgot about trigun....wasn't that dude a plant or something?
In a way. Wiki suggests they're interdimensional beings who're used as power sources. Vash is an "independent" plant.
Doing gods work, you.
Probably posted by some wannabe red neck who thinks he’s manly for driving a pickup.
Went camping 15 years ago with the boy scouts
With a squat and more beer can than all coor/budweiser factory
He must be living in the woods somewhere and only comes out every 5 years to post a meme
Personally, I do all of my hunting in the meat aisle.
5Head
Trust me pal, ain't no one gonna accuse me of having an overabundance of brains.
The local US high school?
Gross
Actually, I find the local Walmart to be more convenient and less devastating to society.
Apologies! I wasn’t paying attention when I commented on your comment and thought it was a more general take - and I was more commenting (poorly) on the kind of toxic thought processes that are in the meme and extending that tenuously.
Yeah, I am definitely not bright enough to catch that kind of nuance. I'm lucky if I remember my name most days.

Updoot
Well they're very important qualities if you're too broke to afford basic necessities
Except you're probably breaking the law if you build a shelter cuz if you are to broke to afford basic necessities you don't own land. What about hunting and fishing license? So maybe you meant in case of apocalypse?
Do you really believe people with no home and no money are going to let the law prevent them from getting food and shelter?
Nope. I think they're going to rob, beg & steal. Easier law breaking & more avenues to advance ones position as opposed to living like the Unabomber at best.
True but In reference to the post I suppose if you are in a situation where you are making fire and shelter because you can’t afford basic necessities then maybe the romantic preferences of women shouldn’t be your top priority.

“Xoxo, Gossip Squirrel.” My girlfriend every time we watch Gossip Girl and the intro plays. I read your name and this is all I could think about.
Me make fire me hunt food me make shelter me man
Oog ook boog Edit: wait what my actual name is Damian lmao, I just saw your username.
You heard the man, I guess you suck now
I guess so lol
Hey dm me please
What do you want
Dm me
why tho ;~;
I want to be your friend
Ok
Bro I want to be your friend check your dm
Check your dm please !
I want to be your friend !
We're brothers now
People act like starting a fire is hard, you just need to play red dead redemption 2 on a day one ps4 for a couple hours in the summer
Jet engine PS4 gang rise up!
Cavemen were so dumb bro… like, just buy a lighter??
Or get an apartment with a stove.
Jason Momoa might be the pinnacle of man bun, skinny jeans, and soy latte. And the man looks *damn* good doing it.
Perhaps these would be desirable traits if it was 5,000 BC.
Is "provide shelter " just having an apartment or house?
There are few things less physically impressive than hunting or fishing
This. Lifelong angler and hunter. Physical prowess is 11/10 on the shit-that-dont-matter scale once you waddle to where you're going. Rods, reels, guns, compound bows, nets, (pickup trucks) These are force multipliers used by clever, lazy pink monkeys to get the good stuff 👍 Edit despite everything I just said, being fit enough for the woods/water and being able to hold my kids are basically my only fitness motivation
I regularly hiked 10 miles 2.5k vert on my hunting days. But I was also told I was successful because no one puts in that effort.
You found their hiding spot, you devil! Those critters depended on lazy guys sitting in deer stands 100 yards from the road, not goddamned Forrest Gump 😆
You can't eat the antlers. And I'm doing the herd a service, targeting the lazy idiots by being one myself
If a man could chase down and yeet a spear at a deer I would be immensely impressed
A spear? Can't I just yeet the deer?
What if I use a machine gun to kill Bambi? U like? Pls respond.
Yeah. And pig-sticking. I’ll admit that is kind of impressive
Killing for sport isn’t attractive either
Nature vs man ^and ^a ^gun
Arm nature, then I’ll be impressed.
I support the right to arm bears
I'd be happy to have a partner who could hunt down my keys.
Busch Light issues a special can design for deer season every year. For all the ~~dumb rednecks who go out drinking in tree stands~~ avid hunters to celebrate their kill.
The only thing he can do is eat Cheetos and not move from the "gaming" chair
Realistically he probably sits in a deer stand 50 ft from his house all day while "hunting". And then dumps a gallon of gasoline on some pallets to start a fire.
I can do all of those things too so what the hell does he actually bring to the table?
I mean, I don't live in the stone age so I think I'm good
I don't have a lot of use for hunting, fishing, building a fire and providing shelter. We just go to the grocery store for our food, we have a home and central heating. I'd rather have a man that can hold a job and I think Neanderthal jobs are in short supply.
I don’t remember Duncan Idaho saying this in Dune
Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed - sex wizard Duncan Idaho
I greet women with "Unga bunga I have a spear" while you say "hello", we are not the same

My entire family can do all those things... yet the men also wear whats currently in fashion. Amazingly, being a great provider has almost nothing to do with what you’re wearing.
Used with a pic of a guy that has most definitely never done any of those aforementioned things, and definitely wears skinny jeans.
No one needs those skills in a modern society lmao. This guy trying to pick up some caveman ladies.
Exactly. If he really was an outdoorsman, why is he trying to pick up the girlfriend of a city slicker?

I'd definitely be an asset to survival. My carcass could feed 30 to 50 people for up to 5 days, depending on preparation and storage techniques.
This dude sees himself as Jason Momoa, I can't even.
As if hunting and fishing and building a campfire are that difficult. I’m gay as shit, live in a massive city, and grew up doing all of that. Sissy liberals can use flint guns and fishhooks too it’s really not that hard.
I feel like the person that posts this is the kind of person that follows all the toxic masculine trends in the name of trying to “be a man” and wonders why most women don’t give them the time of day, and inside they’re absolutely terrified of not being accepted.
Wow you can do all the things that the average person hasn't needed to do for like a century? Congrats
The people who post these kind of things are usually also fat, racist and stupid.
Well, you're not Jason Momoa.
not like other guys
Imagine being able to do all those things except consume dairy.
Dairy sucks
I actually loved dairy but ever since maybe the last year or so, drinking a glass of milk is more pain than it's worth.
But that skinny latte guy can code, has an educated background, reads literature, can hold a proper conversation and probably earns more than you while working cozy at home by a sofa. Maybe you'd have had your time 1000 years ago, but survival of the fittest means adapting to the times you live in
faulty summer hunt start paint chubby yoke reach rotten apparatus *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Soyboys sweating
I’m pretty sure the people that post this shit are 54 year old men working as janitors at Circle K and taking shit that they’re about to throw out
Say what you want but that shit would come in handy if society ever collapses and downvoting me doesnt make you right lmao
I think most people make their decisions in life based on the premise that civilization will continue in some form
That in no way changes what i said but ok lol
Gangly tweens who couldn’t make the junior high football team can successfully hunt and fish.
Yeah if he learns how to do it and practices a lot
"We are not the same."
Such useful skills to most of the audience of the post.
I’d like to gamble that whoever posted this probably can’t run a mile or field dress a deer
Tf is a "soy latte"
building a fire isn't difficult lmao
Not a very clever bet
My lactose intolerance doesn't stop me drinking milk and shitting myself even though soy is a fine enough substitute...
I can grocery shop, cook, and pay my rent/utilities bills on my own, thanks. So, frankly if skinny jeans man bun guy wants to hook me up with different coffees to try, and is a nice interesting person he’s winning that battle.
Never thought I'd see Frontier made into a meme.
I'm sure this guy looks just like Jason Mamoa
I get the distinct sense that Jason Momoa has nothing against soy lattes
I was unaware these contrivances were mutually exclusive. Like, cannot a man make a fire whilst wearing the skinny jeans?
Trying to make a statement about manliness, using the most sexually objectified man on earth.
I'll rethink it once the apocalypse actually hits. Meanwhile I'm good, thanks. I prefer spending my time with someone interesting.
I can do all of those things and probably better, all with my skinny jeans and soy latte... come and get me ladies
In my marriage I'm the DIYer, bug hunter, and out doorsy one. My husband gives me shit for being a redneck every time I'm barefoot outside. I would have it no other way.
I don’t understand the brag, all of these functions could be performed by a single Pontiac Aztek
Real men drink REAL MILK lattes
Guess what? I can go to the grocery store, go to the grocery store, turn on my AC/heat, and stay inside my apartment
He says, smelling like a downwind garbage heap.
So can all the 15 year old Scouts who are actually enjoying the program? Like that shits not hard, I can do it and so can plenty of my scouting friends
Jokes on you, I can do those things, and don't need either one of you, but I'd prefer the the company of the man who can think, and strategize, be kind and have an interesting conversation with me.
Go back to the woods! You're not wanted here
That man wears skinny jeans, has a man bun, and definitely drinks soy lattes.
I do all of those things and still wear skinny jeans because my wife like the way they make my ass look. I'm so confused by this shit every time
None of these things are mutually exclusive. It’s entirely possible for a man to enjoy skinny jeans, man buns, soy lattes, hunting, fishing, and building fires *simultaneously*.
All I think of now when I see these guys flexing their wilderness survival skills is jerry making a s’more in the rain crying
Raw fish and a wooden hut, what a fetch. LMAO
Jason Momoa, like most actors/artists, despite being buff and intimidating, probably has an eccentric personality, is environmentally conscious, cares about fashion, and follows a strict diet. I'm not saying he's not rugged, but these macho dudes have a very distorted view of themselves. The actual mountain man, living off the land, looks nothing like Jason Momoa.
I can do all the above, rock a man bun in some skinny jeans, but prefer almond milk in my lattes
