What is DL's term for the "Frau" counterpart? Name him. Describe him.

I thought it was OAF.

Why isn't it "Herr"?

Mr. Poplar.

In the apartment next to ours when I was a kid. Such a nice man-so patient with his raging bitch of a cat lady wife. Right up to the day he went bonkers and chucked one of her kitties through a plate glass window. Poor kitty

Poor Mr. Poplar

I never use frau anyway. I always say Housecow. An old DL slang but still a good one and the best description IMO.

Her mate's name? "Closet Case," duh . . .

Fine r4. But how do you describe her male counterpart, is the question.

I've been calling them Herrs for a few years now.

They play fantasy football!

They express themselves through large vehicles and television sets.

They are impotent unless jacking off to porn or having sex with people they aren't married to.

Oaf works for me, r6.

If a frau holds a coffee mug that says "We can't all be princesses. Somebody has to clap when I go by," then might a Herr Oaf sport a T-shirt saying something like this?

Oaf Bro code to live by...

Herr means more gentleman, it's also more aristocratic, WASPy and kinda polite, certainly doesn't fit; ladies and gentlemen, Damen und Herren. Mann und Frau, better find a non-German term.

Hans-Franz

A pussy whipped fool. Or maybe an undercover fag.

It's kinda hard, OP, since the frauen's husbands don't participate much on here, unless they're closeted, or Stormfronters ranting about the Blacks, Jews, Liberals, and us Gays. I guess we have to find (or create) a good name for former high school football players who are now pudgy, quarrelsome, constant beer drinkers, and fond of firing up their grill for any given occasion.

How about "goons" or "hus-goons"? Or "frau-goons," since they're the husbands of the frauen.

Bros

Dad-blobs

We don't insult straight men here.

Fat.

Dad blobs is great.

On the upper end there are soccer dads to equal yoga moms, so there should be a term.

Homers?

They won't express it outwardly on coffee mugs or t-shirts but their mantra is "Happy wife happy life". Which means abdicating any strong sense of taste or personality in the frau's presence.

We're basically looking for a word to define the conventional straight man and everything he holds dear. Why hasn't DL thought of one yet?

I'm tossing up between douche and jock. Men cradling a beer stein as they avoid work/family/responsibilities and discuss their favourite team in detail seems like avoidant Frau mug-cradling to me.

Mann

Dad blobs, Homers, Bros, Oafs... funny, but they each capture only one particular essence. We need an all-encompassing term for the guy who believes and upholds everything in straight hierarchical patriarchy, not necessarily conservative but definitely believes he's superior to women and gay men, even though he publicly supports "equal rights," deep down he believes straight men are "naturally" the leaders, even if he himself is a fat lazy slob with average-to-below-average IQ, drinking beer in front of the TV, working a low level job.

Fraulein always refer to their husband as "Their Man" or "Papa" or some kind of shit like that. Something that makes him appear "masculine".

Let's call them Fraubait, because dumb guys with a deep voice, no brains and a pickup truck are like frau magnets.

Fraubait.

Oooh : "Frau-wrangler"

Frusband?

Couch-jockey?

BBQ-technician?

A foolboy instead of a poolboy?

...or a "Toolboy"

A Frau and her "Lawnmower"?

We could call them lawnmowers because most of them are like Jobe from the Lawnmower man. Oh, and fraulein believe that "mowing the lawn" is "the man's job".

"Rocks," because they're a hard solid mass. Because somebody can be "dumb as a rock" or have the "personality of a rock." Because a mass of rock is used as the foundation and pillars of a structure. Just throwing one out there.

"Lawnmower" is good, r30.

Ooh, I like that one

r26, I know a frau with a popular craft blog who refers to the vague male figure in the background who finances her little hobby as "The Mister."

Take a lesson from a major advertiser. They know their market.

A Frau and her "Handy-Stan"?

Because the man is a stan for the Frau and even if she calls someone every racial epithet in the book in front of him, she is always in the right and her honour needs to be violently defended versus the violent dirty looks his "honourable" frau may receive. He also is expected to do anything requiring a tool, because fraulein believe that any kind of maintenance requiring a tool is "the man's job."

..."Rock" isn't realistic enough... It just makes the Lawnmower appear strong and stoic and immovable, and we know that those lawnmowers say "how high" whenever frau [italic]really[/italic] says "jump!"

I call him dad.

And fraus can have a "pet rock."

Fraus don't have pet rocks, they have small, annoying dogs.

Sometimes a large dog, depending on how dominant the Lawnmower is... while he isn't chewing on grass.

A bisexual

Remember, for all a frau's posturing about how "I'm the boss around here cuz I'm the MOMMY," it's mostly bark with no bite. Men still have the upper hand in society. I look how my step-dad "defers" to my loud, demanding frau of a mother, and he really is just tolerating and indulging her like a child. He makes the money and the important decisions and there's nothing she can do about it because she's old and fat with no job skills and isn't going ANYWHERE. He on the other hand, could drop her for somebody younger and more agreeable, but would have to pay alimony. He can't stand her, I see it in his eyes. But she keeps house and cooks and tells anybody who will listen that he's a GENIUS and "the best husband in the world," etc. She ultimately knows her place with him.

Oafblobs

What's the blog @R34?

[quote]But she keeps house and cooks and tells anybody who will listen that he's a GENIUS and "the best husband in the world," etc. She ultimately knows her place with him.

A Frau and her "Master"?

R42, that's so fucking sad. I'm glad women have a lot more choices these days than to stay with someone who so obviously despises them.

I think its safe to assume that 99.9% of the fraus' husbands are blue-collar.

[quote]I get what you mean by "Frau" and enjoy the descriptions here of silly, straight women attached to a male, married or otherwise, preoccupied with Family and convention.

And yet, you don't seem to know what a "frau" actually is based on the description you've provided - hence the underlying reason you don't know what the male counterpart is.

And by the way, the majority of the proposed names in this thread are actually frau names themselves comparable to the frau-ism of altering the name "man cave" to "she shed."

Office Park Golf Dad

Daddy McBigshorts.

I'm no frau (except by gender, age, and pride of term), but when I was living the life, the phrase I used was "that asshole I live with." He whined like a baby about paying alimony when he was caught cheating. I let him keep the mistress, the kids, the house, and the fucking money. My freedom was more important than wearing the holier than thou mantel of sacred MOTHER. I paid for it, but the price would have been a lot higher had I stayed. Called me up, six months later, crying. We don't need them, really. If the playing field were equal (as it's getting to be) more women would opt out of marrying these man babies. They are. Fraus are a dying breed.

[quote]I'm no frau (except by gender, age, and pride of term)

Pretty much sums it up, eh?

Point is, R53, I can apply that term to myself when and if I choose. As it's defined here, not so much.

[quote]Point is, [R53], I can apply that term to myself when and if I choose. As it's defined here, not so much.

QED

Why yes, R55, I am Quantumly electro-dynamic.! I'd use the smiley emoji, but I hate those. My Latin, is fine, BTW, so don't bother to explain yourself. Your meaning is self explanatory.

[quote]My Latin, is fine, BTW, so don't bother to explain yourself.

Your Latin may be fine, but your punctuation is appalling.

Some mommy-bloggers refer to their mates as "DH".....short for "dear husband". Seriously.

Oh dear, I have a comma out of place! Call the punctuation police, STAT!

[quote]Oh dear, I have a comma out of place! Call the punctuation police, STAT!

Oh dear, you're the one who made such a show of your erudition. Such errors merely serve to call that into question.

You must be new here.

r58 landed on it. DH. Dear Husband which is interchangeable with dick head according to the mood of the fraus in my office. My offering is 'dude'. If covers a multitude of bases but DH is closer to the mark.

From our perspective could also mean dorky husband, doofus husband, probably a very long list - we may have a winner.

Ugh, DH. Living in an AL city, I love to read that as Designated Hitter.

Frau & Bro Deplorable

I always use a blanket "DH" for this type of man because regardless of how repugnant, inept, and hated he is, he will always be referred to as "my sweetie-pie DH" or "my cutesy-wutesy DH" all over Facebook.

When he dumps her ass, she will flip like a light switch and cry (on Facebook again, of course) about how hard it's been to put on a brave face for My Child™ and how she couldn't face the reality of what her life had become.

That will garner lots of condescending back-patting from the other frauen, secure that their facade is still intact. When she posts her first diatribe about how DH stands for "Dead-to-me Hubz," they'll shake their heads in ageeement and shun her.

I use the term 'Hubbsy', since that is what I've seen some frauen call their DH (which stands for Dear Hubby, never Dear Husband, which is not a cute enough word. Too grown up sounding).

Doughy.

Man-Frau.

If a frau switched genders this is who she'd be. The stereotype of a straight man. Fantasy football. Sports related ringtone. Knows pointless sports stats. Refers to pro athletes as if they know them personally. Generally excruciating to be around.

Has "husfrau" been mentioned? I like how that rolls off the tongue.

We call them baby daddies.

What do married gay males use now .... husband. That should do it. When some of the marriages go asunder, I want to see what term is then used!

Why need a male Frau term? What is it with gay guys here that always must demean straight men as bloobish goons? There seems great pleasure here in thinking "real men" are always ex or failed high school athletes, are fat or pudgy, are quarrelsome, drink too much beer, watch too much sports and television, are always firing up grills, are pussy-whipped, have low-level jobs. To me, all the lonely gay blobs typing in their mother's basement bashing men, have been finding dumb guys with a deep voice, no brains and a pickup truck their gay fantasy for years.

I like man-frau.

I like 'desperate queen'. It's often the same thing on here.

What about "Meister"? It means "master" in German, and let's face it, fraus are slaves to men regardless of their belief in themselves as Mommy-Goddeses.

And also, dude bro oafs love the suffix. BBQ-meister, truckmeister, beermeister, etc.

House Dork

The male version of "frau" is "frau".

Fang.

Brau!

^ That's IT.

R72 it seems DL has no qualms about terming conventional married women as "Frau" and making fun of their traits. Why so offended when it's the men's turn? You gay dudes are just as hypocritical as straight ones.

Brau is clever but I like man-frau better because it sounds more derisive.

Mike Pence

His name is Brian, a name so boring you can never remember it no matter how many times you run into him.

He considers himself 'a nice guy' despite being a rabid redpill poster.

He wipes back to front and jerks off to the dog-eared, cum stained 9th grade yearbook photo of the girl, Mykaela C., he had the biggest crush on but who only went out with two of his better looking, more charming, best bros, Mike D. and Mike (Mikey) O..

His favorite sport is corn hole.

He once tried to re-inact the American Psycho scene of attacking a homeless person but he wound up getting jumped.

He, also, tried to roofie a girl at a college party one time but mixed their drinks up and came to the next day in a pile of dirty laundry under the basement steps of the people who lived next door to the party house. He still likes to think maybe he did get laid that night and just doesn't remember it.

He tried vlogging on youtube but after 15 videos his only followers were two sock puppet accounts he created, his cousin Travis, his mom whom he forced to unfollow him and one mysterious stranger with the handle dirigible39 who kept posting recipes in the comments.

He blew through four pay checks buying a top of the line grill, but doesn't really have any friends to invite over for a bbq.

His mom still cuts his hair and he combs crusty gel into it that flakes onto his shirt collar as the day wears on.

He's forty pounds overweight and thinks he looks great, despite the gynecomastia.

He works as a bank teller, but sold subwoofers for car stereos in college.

He's given up on Tender etc. and gets a weekly BJ from a hooker in the parking lot of the neighboring town's sports bar. Her name is Tanya, she's 45 and missing both eye teeth. No one ever tries to fix him up with anyone.

He keeps talking about taking a fishing trip to Alaska but he doesn't actually know how to fish. In the next couple of weeks, he will buy a top rated fishing pole and begin practicing learning to cast in his living room. He will have to get stitches after accidentally hooking himself in the ball sac.

He listens to New Country on fire engine red wireless Beats over-the-ear headphones while leaf blowing his driveway at 7:50am every other Saturday.

Sometimes, he ties a length of gift wrapping ribbon around his dick and wears it to work.

Wow, I am speechless !

That's hilarious r84. We should just call him "Brian."

A Frau's Accessory

r84. You light up my life.

I'm Todd. I'm assistant manager of a Nissan dealership, which is ironic since I have a suspended license for a DUI at the moment. I'm divorced with two girls approaching teenhood and even though it's been almost ten years I still HATE my ex wife with a passion for divorcing me and getting married and pregnant again so fast.

Anyway, my new girlfriend just moved in and it's been rocky. I'm an intense dude, crazy and hard to handle, but she's stood by me for five years so I thought she'd be satisfied when I let her move in. I'll probably ask her to marry me soon since I've been kind of a jerk to her since she moved in. I don't have to be on my best behavior anymore since it's harder for her to leave now. She did move out a couple weekends ago and I threatened to kill myself so she's back. I made it official by posting on Facebook that we're in a relationship now, and put a photo of us together for the first time even though she's been my girlfriend for the past five years. She's not as young and pretty as I'd like, not that I haven't been looking, but she's loyal and I'm 40 and in need of a Frau to take care of our home and put up with my moods. Like I said, I'm pretty intense. Our relationship status and photo on Facebook got tons of likes and supportive comments, so that should keep her happy for awhile.

She just needs to know that I do what I do, and don't nag me.

Online Feminists often refer to straight women's signifant male others as "Nigel," and there's a consensus on what Nigel means, and the common joke, "Not MY Nigel!" One's own Nigel is special and different from all those other secretly sexist, pornsick boyfriends and husbands. "Nigel" might be a good term for a frau's counterpart, since another online community has already named him.

"Nigel" makes Americans think of a generic Brit, R90. It's a very uncommon name in the US

And R30, a "mower" might be good because the frau's archnemesis, the yoga mom, thinks that it's a crew of illegal Central American immigrants job to mow the lawn.

There's an autistic kid that works at my local CVS counter named Nigel. I got stuck in line behind a black guy one day.

Nigel asked if he rapped.

Good points r91. Besides the "Nigel" the feminists are talking about is a brogressive who claims to be feminist but deep down really isn't. No self respecting Brau Mower would align himself with feminism.

Oaf Brau?

BBQ.

Baby Brau.

The Frau counterpart is generally embarrassed to be in a relationship with only one woman, but can't bear NOT to have a woman in his life.

He's resentful that he's not a rockstar surrounded by 20-year-old groupies. He watches a lot of porn.

He has a deep sense of superiority over his Frau but is happy to leave her "in charge" of cooking and housework and remembering people's birthdays and always signing his name on the card ("Love, Brian and Jenn").

He practically makes it a point to forget the anniversary of when he and the Frau got married and/or began (consummated) their relationship, as he is embarrassed by sentimentality.

However he believes the frau's interests in crafts, holiday decorations, motherhood and being sentimental make her a "real" female to his "real" male.

"Daddy". But only while he's spanking with with his big cock.

R84 sounds a lot like a compilation of Bad Luck Brian memes.

Incest Survivor Creator

r99 what is Bad Luck Brian? Is that a thing?

How about broaf (an oafy bro)?

Could the problem be there's no real male counterpart for the frau.

DL's definition seems to be that the Frau is an unstylish, somewhat frumpy middle or working class woman living in middle America, someone who looks middle aged even if she's only 28, a consumer of mainstream pop culture, big on fast food and quick serve chain restaurants, mother of two or more kids.

She stands in direct opposition to the upper middle class Yoga Mom--there's some overlap but Yoga Mom is much more stylish, a bit more woke, particularly about food, travel and fashion (she's been to Costa Rica and did an ecotourism day trip which was documented on FB and IG) And while the Frau looks 48 when she's 28, the 48 year old Yoga Mom is still trying to pass for 18

Point being, I don't thing these women have male counterparts--their spouses are so nondescript and just sort of go along with whatever the frau or yoga mom wants. "Pussy-whipped" is a term that comes to mind.

So maybe He-Frau, as he is defined by nothing more than his relationship to the frau.

Fart blossom

[QUOTE] the kids, the house, and the fucking money.

I love this. The last thing he probably imagined is he'd be stuck with the kids, I think that's the ultimate revenge.

I agree with R103.

I disagree with R103.

The man-frau in my office is, in his own words, "aspirational." Despite his mediocrity and laughable misuse of big words in meetings, he makes it clear to his coworkers that expects a promotion (that never comes, thank god) because he "has a family and there's nothing more important to him than providing for his family." As an example, he proudly tells us the story of how he told his brother and sister in law that he would no longer bring his family to visit them because he doesn't like their dog and if that dog ever nipped one of his kids, he'd have to kill it to defend his family. (When pressed, he admits the dog is a little terrier who yaps but never bit anyone before).

And yet, despite his heroic family man stories, we notice he spends almost every weekend golfing with his buddies. We're talking entire weekends away, while his wife cares for the children ("oh, she doesn't mind at all," he says). We notice that, when talking about his two children--the boy is five, the girl is two--he's already favoring his son ("Susie is sooo whiny," he says. Um, yeah, she's two). When he does take the entire family on trips, it's to adult destinations (usually college party spots-he's a self-described "recreational drinker") that require long flights. He insists that the kids are perfectly quiet and behaved throughout (yeah, right). He resents that his wife (who, like him, is employed full-time) because she doesn't pack him a gourmet lunch every day like his buddy's wife, who is a stay at home mom. Did I mention that man-frau is about 50 lbs. overweight with high blood pressure? Meanwhile, his attractive wife is super slim (and dammit, he expects her to stay that way!) He complains that "she never initiates family fun activities." Perhaps because she's busy with both her job and raising the kids?

Around the holidays, he regales us with stories of the special gifts he gets his wife--not items she wants, but items he thinks she "should" want. One year, he thought it would be nice if she started scrapbooking all their wonderful family photos to preserve their memories, so he bought her a starter kit. When she never used it, he sighed that HE had to do most of the work. He's bought her clothes she never wears because "he thinks she needs more color in her wardrobe."

I could go on, but I'd need to get a blog.

I also disagree with r103. But there's a contingent of MRA types who honestly believe women are running everything and that men are the REAL slaves.

"Broaf" is a good one someone mentioned up thread. What about bro-loaf?

R109 sounds about right. And to the Frau he's dear hubby and a genius and works so hard for his family and OMG he's taking me out for din din tonight! DaTE NIGHT! #suchaluckygirl

R109 has described a particularly asinine guy he works with, not a common stereotype that we can give a name to.

I'm gonna kick your ass after work, R109.

The best (fictional) example I can think of of a male Frau is Donnie Hendrix - married to Allison in the show Orphan Black.

Credit where it is due, they were two of the best characters on the show.

I agree with R103. There isn't really a frau counterpart. The frau husband just goes along. There are different male types that are more disturbing.

Like: The Rageaholic.

After years of observing the "good husband and father" types--at work, the gym, you name it--I'm convinced that, deep down, most straight men resent the fact that they have children--and on some level, they blame "her" for making them have them. They cover it up in the workplace with the showboating, and of course they like the "perk" of leaving work early for junior's little league games. But when they're in groups of men only, they'll bitch about the cost of having kids, fights they have with their wives about the kids, etc...and then they'll always end it by telling me "you're so lucky that you don't have kids!" Umm, it's not luck...and have you ever tried birth control?

R109 he sounds like a pestilent shit-demon and a gaping hole of a personality.

Hopefully he has a juicy life insurance plan and drops dead of a coronary next year, so his gorgeous wife can enjoy a big payday and set up College funds for the kids.

And hey, if there's money to spare she could go part-time for a couple years to cool off, get a Nanny and/or Housekeeper, spend weekends on HER. She could downsize (because I'll bet right now she's forced to clean & maintain an overlarge chintzy abode) and use extra time and money on girly weekends at the Cabana while the kids are at sleepovers. If she's loaded like a Stepford Wife she could get a poolboy if she doesn't feel like dating. Maybe take a dip in the Lesbian End too, catch up on all the hot beautiful sex she's missed (Lezzies love us some rich trix, even if they have kids).

OK then, maybe r109 is Yoga Mom's counterpart.

We do not insult lesbians on here either.

R117 Sounds about right. Most straight women as 'Me Me Me Machines'. And having children helps put the focus back on them.

Women want babies, whilst men just want a legacy.

Good call R115, but Donnie is also the dictionary definition of "pussy whipped"

R117 - they say that to you because they realize they talk about their kids all the time in that humble brag way "gosh that college is so expensive. Good thing I make enough money to afford it now that Jonny is on the baseball team there."

Seems like R109 would need a bit more money for that R119.

His wife still has to work.

^ So perhaps he's married to a frau after all. A cube frau.

R101, Bad Luck Brian is a meme. Google it, because I'm lousy at explaining things.

Neanderthals

Broaf, bro loaf, Brau... I like all those.

Braufs mourning the death of Hugh Hefner with memes about how "nobody can say he's in a 'better place.'"

A frau and her Meister...

I still like “Lawnmowers” to describe a frau’s mate

I thought this was a gay site.

^ Yeah, the hetero term for a gay man is "faggot." So what's your term for them?

Yes, R132, it is a site for gays, lesbians and bisexuals to discuss what they wish to discuss. In this thread, we are talking about an aspect of the site's culture and the proper name for the counterpart to said aspect. Now that I've cleared this up for you, why don't you run on back to your whiny, irrelevant "Is this a gay site?" poll and STFU?

Fran as in Frau/Man

Bros of course as mentioned earlier.

Frau-ism seems to be a particularly female trait.

I'm struggling to call up a fictional character who meets the description and Ned Flanders from The Simpsons is the closest I can come.

But there just aren't that many men like Ned IRL

The problem with "bros" is that most of those guys grow out of it by the time they're 30. A 40 year old guy who exhibits bro-ish behavior is pathetic in a wanting-desperately-to-be-young again way, while a frau is actually the opposite--prematurely middle aged.

So I got nothing.

But the main characteristic of the frau, is that she's married; marriage often being the end goal for most women when it comes to their sense of identity and status. Men don't necessarily seek self-esteem and identity soley from their marriage status, as they have other options open to them (culturally, historically, politically, economically, IN GENERAL, let's not nit pick and bring up how nothing is holding women back "today," etc.).

So yeah, I get how there can't be an all-encompassing trope character for any man married to a "frau." Instead, he's this blurry background figure like the craft blogger's "Mister" mentioned up thread, who makes the frau and everything she believes and does, possible.

“The Hubster.”

Mike Pence is this type. It’s all the “DH’s” the fraus brag about on Facebook, the guy who mows the lawn and bitches endlessly about how pissed he is that his dowdy wife doesn’t look like an eighteen year old temptress after twenty years of marriage and a couple of kids. Only in front of the guys, though. The Frau has no idea. They married young.

A lot of these guys are religious and churchy, others just sit at home and drink beer and watch football while the Frau vacuums around their feet. The kids run wild while she does housework and he yells at the game on tv. Their lives seem full of tedious chores and spending enormous amounts of money on every home improvement item in existence.

lonely

OTOH, there's a definite counterpart to the Yoga Mom, the upper middle class coastal version of the frau.

My friends and I used to call those guys "Howies" (after someone we knew, but they were a type)

Nerdy, out of shape, pussy-whipped lawyers, bankers, doctors and corporate executives, Howies are married to women who wouldn't talk to them in college, women who are much better looking that their Howie.

Somewhere are around the age of 25, the Yoga Moms figured out that cute Brad the indie filmmaker was not going to get her that house in Greenwich, the one just like the house she grew up in, so when her mother mentioned she'd run into Howie's mom at the club and Howie just started working for White & Case or Goldman or the surgery department at Cedars Sinai.

Suddenly Howie became marriage material and she's got him wrapped around her finger, trading sex for new kitchens, Chanel duds and private school tuition for the kids.

The Yoga Mom knows it's her job to look good for her Howie, no matter how bad he looks, and so it's an even trade--he gets sex with a hot woman and kids he rarely sees because he works 18 hour days. She gets all the material things she wants and since she's in the burbs and he's in the city, the each get to have discreet affairs.

Howies work long hours partly because they have to and partly so they can avoid being home where the yoga mom will nag them about losing weight (heart attack = end of meal ticket) and redoing the bathrooms again. They can't talk about much other than work and maybe a sports team or two.

R138 thanks for that comment, very well put

I like he-Frau and brau.

Wow, those are good: "Hubster" (Frau) and "Howie" (Yoga Mom).

How about Him? Its passive aggressive and suggests unimportance.

I don't know what to call him but I do know that he loves baseball, Tim McGraw and fishing.

He has a white-collar job and drives a truck for his personal vehicle.

And he backs his Dodge pickup truck (with the HEMI engine) into his reserved parking space at the office park.

[quote] Tim McGraw

Too fruity. More like Toby Keith or some douchebro modern country. Or Hootie & The Blowfish from college days.

How's that for Peak Frauheit?

It looked a lot like this, but Judy there is not my office frau.

That's a Canadian frau, I bet, R157.

The illustrious Judy might be Canadian, but my story took place in the outer suburbs of Pittsburgh, where you can't swing a hockey stick without hitting a Boomer frau.
