Gents, don't buy these - hold out for Bic for Him!
I thought, being a man and all, that since they didn't have any manly Bic for Him pens, I could buy these, as I need pens and can't always wait for the appropriate pens to come out for my underserved gender. What a mistake.
And don't think I didn't try to look. I searched this very site for Bic for Him, and it recommended the BIC Cristal Stic Ball Pen, Medium Point , 1.0 mm, Black, 12 Pens (MS11-Blk). These are Cristal! There is nothing manly about them, short of the "Stic Ball" reference to a very manly game they used to play in Brooklyn, back when they had stoops.
Amazon also recommended other products, like a Coleman Two-Burner Propane Stove. I admit that is somewhat manly, as it involves fire and propane, but the last time I tried writing with a stove, I unleashed a wildfire on a national park and am not at liberty to discuss that further until after my next court appointment.
So now I'm left with these Bic for Her pens. I took one into a meeting at the office and couldn't stop drawing ponies all over my business proposal. Ponies! The guys here will never let me live that down. I mean, hearts would have been bad enough. I didn't even know I knew how to draw a pony.
Men should definitely wait until a Bic for Him line comes out and should not attempt to use these as a replacement. Nor should guys try writing with a propane stove. Also, since this is a two-pack, I have a second pen unused in mint condition (though the package was opened), if any ladies out there want one.
