Straight Guy,
Take a read of this Washington Post article on "manly cities."
At 42 on a scale of 50 for manliness, guys in the nation's capital must be feel their Washington Monument shrinking.
Combos, maker of the ultimate Super Bowl snack bowl, ranked Washington's ample supply of cup cake shops among the factors that brought down the manly score. (I can't wait to tell my mom that it was probably her cup cakes that made me gay.)
Anyway, this sounds like a sweet/savory smack down.
What pushes up a city's macho measure? Professional sports teams, chicken wing restaurants and Western/cowboy apparel stores. Lordy.
Maybe this was an Onion article.

P.S.: A cupcake with "ganache" in its name is gay.

Sorry, men, I can kinda see this. Reference your previous post: how many spectators do you think you find (pre- or post-Labor Day) in Nashville, Dallas, or Denver? It's been decades since I've been in DC but I'm guessing there's a higher incidence of European manbags than in Detroit or Cleveland. How about the percentage of men who not only know what exfoliating moisturizer does, but have a bottle in their bathroom? I admit it's petty to blame the innocent cupcakes - fattening snack foods are always manly, even if they do have "ganache" in the description. Leave the moisturizer, take the cupcake.
I actually heard a guy on the street saying how "it's so super hard to find a good handyman in this city." So, I would say that lack of handymen and and abundance of guys who need more manly assistance in their homes is also a strike against DC.
Better than average shot that he was wearing spectators, too. Should have checked, sorry.
Personally, I have been killing cupcakes left and right since this trend took off. Where can you get an actual slice of cake these days?
