Default Men are such children...including myself...

Have you ever noticed that (most) men need to have a photograph of them and whatever they're 'into'? Like, if we're into hunting then, we gotta have a picture of ourselves holding a big-ass gun or, if we're into race cars, we gotta have a picture of ourselves with a our race car..but, I was just sitting here pondering that thought ('cause working didn't sound too appealing to me) when this popped into my head: what if the guy was a childrens' doctor? Would he want a picture of him hold up a healthy fat kid?

*edit* Incidentally, you do NOT want to look at the pictures my dad, a missionary surgeon in Africa, comes back with.

I agree 100% I don't need to see this trade imortalized in digitally mastered media, of any kind, ever. >period<

Haha! I've worked with men a lot over the years - 23 years Army - and find they are a lot easier to work with than women. Funny thing I've noticed, especially with soldiers, is that they hate having their photo taken and threaten to break your camera etc, but then get all excited about the photo when its printed/published and rush to show all their mates. Of course it costs a round at the bar to have your picture published in any kind of media so that might account for the initial shyness!

No!

To all of the above.

I've never known any men like that and I've known everything from good ol' boys to scientists—personally.

What planet do you live on?

Real men don't need photos of their passions, they are too busy pursuing them.

Yes, my husband has me photograph him holding his guns every time he gets a new one. It is a sickness. I do not understand men at all. I am glad that I am a woman. However....I did have someone photograph me holding my camera when I got it.....maybe I am sick too.
