Uhh... how does a guy keep a manly scrapbook? I love arts and crafts and all, but a guy that kept a scrapbook might somewhat weird me out.
I think the woman failed to realize that you don't have to like all traditionally manly activities, but you're bound to like some of them a little. Though, she's kind of a walking contradiction. "[How dare you ask us to like guy hobbies! Oh, and those hobbies are girl's hobbies too!]" Why would someone have a problem with asking girls to like video games and star wars if girls already do?

Call it a photo album instead? I mean that's what I have my mission photos in; admittedly enough the binder is not all that manly, but that's beyond the point.Quiet Lamb wrote:Uhh... how does a guy keep a manly scrapbook?

Well, there is a difference. A photo album is... well, you just stick photos in little protective plastic sections and call it good. At the most you have a scrapbook-type of book and only do the bare minimum of photos and photo corners, and maybe a souvenir or two, but nothing too special. A scrapbook is different. It varies from photos in photo corners surrounded by a lot of souvenirs to full out crafty wizards with fancy paper, fancy scissors, fancy buttons, sweat and tears. There are more souvenirs and crafty ornaments than there are photos.Nanti-SARRMM wrote:Call it a photo album instead?

This is Sauron, who wrote about the "manly scrapbook"
And I know just as well as you what typical scrapbooks are like. I created websites and scanned in thousands of products for scrapbook companies. But with a little creativity, a man can make a scrapbook and retain his manliness.
It's perfectly possible to have a manly scrapbook - and it doesn't have to have all the trappings of typical ornate girly scrapbooks. I made one as a present for Waldorf. I took a textbook from DI as the main structure, and added photos of us, vandalized the photos and the text, doodled liberally, glued in some colored construction paper when I needed space to write, and added lots of pieces of paper of significant importance to us (our drawings, notes, doodles we did together, found objects). It's a treasure, and it's a scrapbook, but it's not at all what the scrapbook companies intend by the word scrapbook.A scrapbook is different.

if waldorf ever shows any sort of sentimental attachment to this "book" in front of his guy friends, he will be mocked mercilessly. women just don't get it sometimes.krebscout wrote: I made one as a present for Waldorf.
