But is applying suntan cream (i.e. showing some concern for your health) a stereotypical 'masculine' thing to do? What about drinking in moderation, or eating large amounts of fruit?

Alpha Male: is the individual in the community whom the others follow and defer to (Wikipedia 2007)..."Chimpanzees show deference to the alpha of the community by ritualised gestures such as bowing, allowing the alpha to walk first in a procession, or standing aside when the alpha challenges.

The status of the alpha is generally achieved by means of superior physical prowess.

In humans, the alpha male often refers to a man who is powerful or high on the social ladder, similar to hegemonic masculinity. In Western cultures, the term is usually pejorative and describes a man who is overtly masculine to the point of rejecting any affront to his ascribed status".

Then there beta males and omega males who are subservient to the alpha male.

I think I prefer the Chimp explanation. Just remember to bow and show deference to piggy in 'ritualised guestures' when he wants to open his legs wide to show who the leader of the group is!

Now don't play Mr Innocent on this little scheme :) I've been hearing about it for a while, and that when the P Man comes round on Sunday he asks you to do sit ups and press ups and you oblige.

I it to you that you are taking this hairbrain idea just as seriously as Mr Forrest!

May the Battle of the Buff 2007 commence!

Oh goody. Another one of piggys "I dont want to come out as gay so i'll just get naked and ruff and tumble with guys in a legitimate fashion" ideas.. And i cant imagine Amy or Elle wanting to smother cream over either of you!
