A Fruitful Conversation

[triedunture]

Here is a truncated conversation I had today with Tony, my BFF, via G-chat:

Me: I am really digging this Captain America/Iron Man fandom. It's totally full of manly sexiness. I just don't get why Tony Stark is always the girl, though. He's a control freak, right? He should be on top.

BFF: I'm sorry, but I agree with the masses on this one. Stark is metro. Cap is a total bear.

Me: Are you serious!? Stark is not metro. Sure, he has nice shoes. And good clothes. And a well-maintained goatee...

BFF: Also, you're operating on the assumption that bottoms are somehow LESS manly. Iron Man is a total top...from the bottom.

Me: No, no, nooooo. You are wrong and I refuse to discuss it further. Let's just play Google Chicken for awhile, where we dare each other to Google awful stuff to see if it exists until one of us backs down.

(About five hours go by)

BFF: "I was a compulsive, serial masturbator, but it was the best thing I could have been. I utilized that organ and rode it for everything it was worth."
- Robert Downey Jr.

Me: Wait. What?

BFF: It's true.

Me: I...I think I'm developing a new crush here.

BFF: You should.

Me: But hold on. Is Robert Downey Jr. attractive? I don't really know.

BFF: Are you for real? Like, I know you're sick, but...are you serious? He's gorgeous.

Me: Well, I guess he's okay. He's just not my kind of dude.

BFF and me at the same time: Not a lady?

Me: Yeah. Exactly. He's all hairy in manly parts. I don't think that's my sort of thing.

BFF: There's 5 minutes left before you leave the office. I'm sending you links to Robert Downey Jr. pictures until you realize how hot he is.

(pictures from IMDB sent)

Me: Okay, he's pretty cool, I guess.

BFF: Wait, I got one more. But it's...well, you should look at it when you get home.

Me: Nah, send it to me now. It's just me and Manuel the janitor left here. Que tu miras, senora? NADA, MANUEL.

BFF: Okay. But don't say I didn't warn you.

Me: ...oh my. So Iron Man is a bottom.

BFF: I knew you'd see my point of view eventually.

Me: :D

If that's not half bad, I'd love to see the fully, not-a-bit bad.

Like, seriously. I think I would. Oh, new man!crush! I have no time for you!

He's REALLY not my type. He's one of those men I can see looks good, but he still doesn't flick any of my switches.

Now if anyone's got a pic like that of, say, 25 year old Stephen Fry..

D'awww, with his floppy little bit of hair and his little pipe! He WAS (is) a cutie. (http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:w3PruFaPCGV3IM:http://www.footlights.org/images/h1981.jpg)

That's the thing with me and my man!crushes. They're supposed to be sweet little nerdy boys. That's why the sudden head-rearing of a muscley butch-man is so shocking to me. But hey, I guess variety is good for you?

Mine too - indeed, I seem to have a "type" in the sense of nerdy, blue-eyed English chappies. (Maybe that's why I love the movie "Withnail and I" so - you get two of those for the price of one.)

The muscliest (is that even a word..? ..it is now) man I like is probably.. Yeh, can't even think of one now. My head is filled with images of Fry at the moment. Oh, and one or two of Hugh Laurie as well, 'cause let's face it, he is most lovely.

..that floppy bit of hair he's sort of still got, you know..
