Am I a man?
I received a message from a gay man on Lastfm saying that he thought my profile pic made me look like a bloke because I have a muscular back.

I will admit to having a huge hang up about my rather muscular (also read, porky) arms.

Is this true?

Check for yourself.

I will apologise in advance for inflicting this upon the reading internet millions. I have had three glasses of wine. School holidays. Fucking love them. Not.

*Laughs*
I wish I only had a muscular back to worry about.

Having met you....you are a vision of daintiness and womenhood. I'm sure PJM would concur.

You're very attractive in a beefy armed way
so only moderately manly

Based on our brief acquaintance
I feel I can safely say that you are NOT manly in any way.

You've a very attractive back.
However, if you're so hung about it, why did you make it your profile picture? I think you're rather proud of it. Rightly so.

Actually you're right
I am proud of it.

Fuck 'em.

He was gay...what does he know....

But the little voice inside me says that Gok is gay and he knows everything about women and what looks good.

And the rest of me says...stop fucking posting while under the influence of cheap French wine.

Nah
You don't look like a man. And you don't have porky arms. Why do ya hate school holidays so much though?

I hate school holidays
because I have twin boys who are exhausting. I'm not happy for them to glue themselves to a ps2 or the tv for the entire day. However they tend to have a love hate relationship with each other and we live out in the sticks....so while one may want to go and build a den at the bottom of the garden the other one doesn't.
Tomorrow I may go and buy them a new cricket bat - they broke the last one.

Kids are great but they're expensive and emotionally demanding.

Sadly I'm not a perfect parent who can be constantly dewy eyed about my offspring. Sometimes I'm sick of them.

You'd have been flexing yer biceps.

Ahh
Kids - that makes sense. They can be a massive pain in the arse sometimes. Thankfuly my siblings have all grown up enough not to be too much of a pain - but - oh the memories....

No Bloody Way
You do NOT have a masculine back OR beefy arms!

That person is a jackass.

Period.

Not only has chickenlady got a great back
but she's fantastic from other angles too.

However, like Kroney the James Blunt bit concerns me.
