    What about if I'm taking my 14 year old daughter, do I then get to keep it?

    If so, but I enjoy the concert, do I have to give it back again?


    With the concert this Friday, I'm really concerned I'm going to be emasculated for the weekend. And I had such big plans with the wife. Oh, the troubles of a first world middle aged man...

    Carry on.

    I don't think anyone should go to a Taylor Swift concert. ;) But...since you're taking your kid...

    OP is confused.

    it's a Lady Gaga concert that is grounds for immediate revocation of one's man card.

    If you have to ask, you never had it.


    The idea of man card is the dumbest chit ever.

    Yes. Manly-men do not care for other human beings' happiness. They only care about mad muscles, dudebro. Leave your leg hair on the way out, you won't be needing it.

    Just don't let on that you know all the words and don't start putting up posters of her in your room after the concert.

    How the hell did your anterior deltoids get so big?

    You totally get to keep your man card and gain man points in my book! Me and my hubby took my girls (9 & 6) to a Justin Bieber concert back in January. We all had a great time! He was singing along with all of us! We have other Dad friends that said they would never be caught dead at such a concert. I say its all about the memories and just enjoying life! Go have fun with your daughter and sing out loud! :smile:

    Got it.

    I can keep the card as long as

    1) I don't sing along (noticeably).

    2) I don't buy a t-shirt or a poster

    3) I don't tell all my friends about it at work.


    But I'll never be able to get deltoids like jdm_taco if I go.

    I think I can handle that trade-off.

    I once went to an Nsync concert with my girlfriends when I was 23, and I lied and told people I was there with my little sister, who must be around somewhere. I am an only child. :)

    This concerns me somewhat but I'm willing to let it go this time.

    If the only reason you are going is to supervise and escort your daughter, you're good to go; you're just being a good daddy. If you enjoy yourself and Taylor Swift music...then, yes, you must return your man card. I'm sorry but that violates the man card rules--especially if you're carrying a murse.

    You are definitely a good dad and do not lose your man card; that said, could you do a better job of teaching your daughter what good music is? :laugh:

    LOL, I second this. My dad introduced me to lot of great music I still listen to -- Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, David Bowie. I'm glad he rescued me from my Echo and the Bunnymen phase...

    Dad card trumps man card 1000%

    I happy to say I play with my little ponys and dollys with my little girl. I would do it in front of my buddies too. Its part of being a dad and I love it.
