Over at Stroller Derby today, they’re discussing the dangers of Mom Jeans and the importance of women letting out their inner divas, and the whole thing has me madder than a bee trapped in a jar.
Men are much more frumpy than women, especially once they become dads.* Always with the t-shirts and the ball caps and the chubby bellies.
So let’s take a collective break, shall we, from encouraging the WOMEN with the babies and the birthing and the drippy nipples to look nice and turn our attention to the MEN!! The men with the man boobies and the bad attitude about night waking.
This, my friends, is an issue requiring serious media attention. And we here at CrankMama have devised an evil plan to address the problem. Full details coming soon, but let’s just say it involves a CrankMama T-Shirt Contest for Men… and you taking pictures of your favorite sexy sweetie in some romantic pose…
Stay tuned…
*it must be said that my husband is NOT one of these. He’s lost over 25 pounds on South Beach and is recapturing his early glowing beauty of sexy youth.

My man is HOT.
May 17th, 2007 at May 17, 2007 - 2:04 pmMy hubby is hot — he did an Ironman. Pure steel.
May 17th, 2007 at May 17, 2007 - 2:09 pmMy man ain’t no slouch neither. He’s going on a 100 km bike ride through the Connecticut countryside on Sunday. Lots o’ biking = hotlegs + nice ASS
May 17th, 2007 at May 17, 2007 - 2:34 pmHey, I just used that same picture earlier this week. What are the odds?
May 17th, 2007 at May 17, 2007 - 7:09 pmMy guy is also hot. I have ass envy.
May 17th, 2007 at May 17, 2007 - 7:10 pmIt would be a whole lot easier if we could all be a little not frumpy, but say not so hot. Can’t the scars of childbirth be sexy? Oh, okay…
My guy’s been losing his man boobs too. Never going to rid him of that cap and tshirt though.
May 17th, 2007 at May 17, 2007 - 8:59 pmMy guy is totally hot, too!
Oh, no, wait, I am my guy.
Not hot. Sooo not hot.
I do shave at least once a week, though!
May 17th, 2007 at May 17, 2007 - 10:11 pmMy man is no iron man (unless you’re talking about his brains), but I will say, since we’ve started shopping for his clothes they always match, they look really good on him, and the t-shirts and caps are relegated to projects around the house on week-ends.
We could probably exercise more but NO ONE in my house leaves the house frumpy (including the bambina).
May 18th, 2007 at May 18, 2007 - 12:33 pmMy man is not one ounce overweight and has a three pack…i wanna kill him.
May 18th, 2007 at May 18, 2007 - 12:48 pmI should shed the twenty pounds that I have gained since the Marine Coprs and I parted company, almost twenty years ago.. but to tell you the truth, it means a lot less to me than it probably should.
Why?
Because, although I’ll never be looked on as “hot” (I’m too old to care about that crap), I’ll always be know for being seriously smart.
I’ll take smart.
GF (who works out regularly, but isn’t wound up on appearance)
May 18th, 2007 at May 18, 2007 - 3:41 pmWe’re not fat, but we both frump out clothing-wise after work and on weekends. It works for us though, so we’re good.
May 18th, 2007 at May 18, 2007 - 9:57 pmOh, looks like you touched a nerve with the “ManFrump” comment. I, too, do not have any “ManFrump” and I have lost weight since our kids.
We men just don’t go out and buy new clothes to fit our new trim figure like you ladies do.
May 19th, 2007 at May 19, 2007 - 11:05 amHi CrankMama,
Tag, you’re it
. See details on my blog at http://goddessinthegroove.blogspot.com/
Unfortunately, my man loses all the weight I gain, and he eats junk.
May 22nd, 2007 at May 22, 2007 - 1:07 amGo figure….
Hey, at least I’ve got a great personality…
May 24th, 2007 at May 24, 2007 - 1:42 am[…] - The irrepressible Rachael at Crankmama is on the warpath against ManFrump. Amen, Sistah. I see waaaay too much of this in the suburbs, where fat-ass husbands insist on cajoling their wives into remaining skinny. Guys: it’s okay if you like to drink and slam the occasional plate of potato skins. Just get your ass to the gym a few times a week, mmmkay? (Alternatively, you could get yourself a doctored cover shot with Men’s Fitness. […]
