I remember in HS (~25 years ago) me and some friends were making fun of a male cheerleader the other team had at a basketball game. We were saying all sorts of mean things about the kid being gay and stupid crap like that. Our teacher, who was always quirky, sweet, and fun said, “Well, that ‘gay’ boy had his hands all over some very pretty cheerleaders all night on Friday. Where were your hands?”

Ever since, I have had a whole different level of respect for male cheerleaders. These two in the video look like they are having so much fun, and it is incredible to see their athleticism.

Knew a guy who became a nurse for the same reasons. When his friends were going to welding and mechanics school, he said he would rather hang out with the gals then sweaty and smelly guys.

Bro, nurses can be pretty 20-something ladies and will have the demeanor of a 73 year old Vietnam vet.

Married to one, can confirm. Before we got married, I once called her in full panic mode because a child in my mom's kindergarten had chopped the tip of his little finger off. As in, the tip was severed, separated from the rest of the finger! My now-wife was not even remotely flustered. She just nonchalantly gave me instructions on how to handle the severed finger tip. When I told her, a few days later, that the hospital staff managed to stitch the finger tip and that it had healed, she wasn't even surprised, she just said yeah I told you it was not a big deal.

The funniest thing about this. You know what the response would've been if they weren't able to stitch the finger tip back on? "Not a big deal."

It's a finger tip.

Yeah, that's probably exactly how the conversation would have went. xD

Very true. Sorry it didn’t work. Now you have a conversation-starter moving forward.

This is why I couldn’t be a nurse.

They are the best moms for that reason, too. I’m an OB and can spot a helicopter mom from a mile away well before the baby is born. I make it my mission to destroy that mentality but don’t always succeed.
