The first entry in my "Next!" feature showcases the squeamish man, a trait that goes strictly against masculinity and leaves me rolling my eyes at said man. A smattering of couples and I (yes, I was the lone single) gathered to welcome another couple home from an assignment abroad last night. The food was delish, the drinks flowing and the company good.
I knew most of the couples well and the others were acquaintances to me. I wandered outside and sat down near the grill where several of the guys swapped marinade stories together. There's something about the smokey aroma of grilling meat wafting around a group of men in tank tops and flip flops that just makes me a little crazy. Maybe it's the concentration of man musk, I don't know.
Anyway, I walked up on a conversation of a girl describing her recent Lasix eye surgery in moderate detail. Interesting, but not anything to cringe about, right? Her husband, who is thin and milk toasty to begin with, made exaggerated squeamish faces every time she mentioned a cut or a peel of the eye. He said a lot of, "Ooooohs" and, "Yuck! No thanks!" while shuddering and scrunching his eyes up.
I wanted to punch him in the face. Now I know why she doesn't have a boyfriend, you're saying to yourself? Just for the record, I have never actually clocked a man in the face yet. But if I had, I know I could have taken this guy down in seconds. I mean, seriously, it's so unappealing to me when a man has a weak stomach for blood 'n guts or even routine eye surgery. Is he going to pass out in the delivery room as your vajayjay's exploding, let alone during a c-section?
Please. I can't have it. But his wife most obviously could. She kept patting his knee and smiling knowingly at his little fits during her story. This was one of the acquaintance couples and I don't know what kind of man he is otherwise. Perhaps he's a dream husband. But I would never know because the squeamishness leaves me saying, "NEXT!"
Does a squeamish man affect your attraction to him? Am I being too picky or can you relate to how I feel?
