Favorite Man Mission Rules.

Post by Nerea »

I find the Man mission Rules funny and thrilling too. One of my favorite rule is "He Who Whines Loudest Wears the Pink Bracelet." :lol:

'He who whines loudest wears the pink bracelet' sounds interesting. It's like saying that only girls are allowed to whine. I have been trying to imagine one of the guys trekking with a sprained foot and claiming he is okay while the pain escalates. It's a manly thing though, a girl would scream the hills down.

I agree. It's like men are meant to keep their pain to themselves :lol: :lol: But why? :lol:

It even sounds awkward a man walking around wearing a pink bracelet. But those are some of the things that made Man Missions exciting and a thing to behold. :lol:

:lol: I believe its an ego thing or maybe because naturally, a man is supposed to bring solutions to the problems, not to complain about them.

Oh, for sure, it is "he who whines loudest wears the pink bracelet." I found it hilarious! I'm still reading, so I might change my mind later, but for now, this one is the funniest for me!

I also like the "pink bracelet". It adds humor to the story and also motivates the four protagonists in doing their best.

I believe men will like to keep pain to themselves due to socialization. From a young age, even crying is considered not boyish even by fellow young friends.

LOL -- Great question! It's really hard to narrow it down to one. Rule #1 (Men Only) seems to go hand-in-glove with rules #6 (Bathing Optional) and #9 (To Go Al Fresco is to Touch the Face of God.)

On a personal level, I appreciate the challenge of Rule #3: Go Beyond Your Limits. (Perhaps that's why, so often, they returned with injuries?) LOL

I love when it was said “he that whines loudest wears the pink bracelet” in other words females are ones that should be whining and not the man! They need to step up and be stronger or they’re going to look like a little girl as they whine. :techie-studyingbrown:

I like both "Go beyod your limits" and "Travel under your own power".
They seem kind of contradictory but keeping those in mind while on a travel adventure let you be aware of your own strength and how much more you can go further if you try.

Oooh, I get it now. But it's a dangerous belief, especially to men. Don't you think?!
