So this Girls Only group has caused quite a stir. No problem. Let the ladies talk among themselves. We all need some same-gender hang time. Unlike some, I love and embrace the differences between the XXs and the XYs.

What's upsetting is the reaction from the fellas, more specifically talk of a Boys Group. "Boys?" How about a Mens Group? One where you don't bitch and moan? One where you're not a sycophantic doormat? One where you you don't beg for sex on a regular basis?

Ahhhh, but wait. There is a Mens Group: the Silverbacks. Not a group in the SG sense of the word...more like a collective. And there are rules. Here are a few:

Rule #1: Silverbacks never beg.
Rule #2: Silverbacks never beg.
Rule #3: Silverback sexual prowess is not gauged on how many girls he's slept with, but rather, how well he's slept with them.
Rule #4: Silverbacks never instigate violence.
Rule #5: Silverbacks never, ever back down.
Rule #6: Silverbacks put the safety and well-being of family and friends above their own.
Rule #7: Silverbacks are kind, but never pushovers.
Rule #8: Silverbacks never take a free drink without returning the favor.
Rule #9: Silverbacks wax cars and the occasional kitchen floor, never their legs or chest.
Rule #10: Silverbacks are NOT members of the Suicideboys group.
Rule #11: Silverbacks never beg.

You can find us through the Hookup page.
(Incidentally, the SBs pre-date this Girl Group by quite some time.)

Sometimes...I still miss that fucker. Even if he DID drive a Ford.

Not only that but I would never drive any car at all.

In fact, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure cars don't even exist

Funny...I would never drive anything BUT an American car. Funnier than that...I haven't driven anything but a pickup truck in 8 years.

Ditto.

And I still wouldn't name myself after a gorilla.

And I've only ever owned American cars (including one Ford Mustang)

I'm not sure where I stand on the 'never back down' rule, but for a second I thought this thread was going to say McQueen had died in a tragic halfpipe accident. And I was extremely bummed.

Also, I spent the afternoon working on my car and visiting automotive and hardware stores. Unfortunately, though, I drive a Volvo.

I've actually just done the same thing. What a perfect, simple list; yet adherents are apparently quite hard to find.

Not saying that that last line was relevant, but I got the same Men are Men vibe...
Though admitting I'm a Shock Treatment fan pretty much disqualifies me from his group anyway.

Waitaminnit, it's a boxy wagon from the '80s, not one of those swish entry-level luxury sedans.

I talk to McQueen on a fairly regular basis.

He's still happily married to thepromdate, still rocking in his band Cova, still very very very Vegan, still tearing it up on his Triumph(s), and still a solid duder. 100% Silverback.

Oh, amen about the Ford thing. I still don't have any idea what's up with that.

...his T-Bird is sweet though, I'll admit it.

Silverbacks por vida.
