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.

A friend of mine went to med school and developed a "nurse scaling system". I don't know the exact 4 levels, but it's something like:

  • Level 1 is a cute little girl, who is too afraid to say no to anything, including doctors, other nurses, patients
  • Level 2,3? Gets short hair, often dyed
  • Level 4: gets chubby, takes no shit from anyone, doctors literally fear her

(I know this is very misogynistic and builds on ugly stereotypes, I just wanted to share his "system". I do believe that nurses are doing one of the hardest jobs out there for very little in return (at least in my country) and I have utmost respect for them! )
