Measuring Manliness

No mention of the manly man dogs. Odd.

Where I come from, ending a night on this note is considered a man-win.

 

I married the most manly man I know, according to my criteria. That's all I care about.

 

I'm trying to grow chest hair to live up to expectations.

 

And getting superglue all over the place, in the process.

And no, you still can't have any of mine.

 

You win.

However, I did once spend 3 months in OKC. Perhaps something rubbed off (besides the shit on my cowboy boots).

 

Or maybe something just got rubbed.

 

First time I saw those I actually thought they were dog treats... first time I ate them reinforced that idea.

Amusingly enough for some reason a lot of people will assume I'm female because of my name.

Hmph- over in my neck of the woods, manliness is measured in 3 categories:

1. a REAL man has no qualms about hunting & killing his own lunch, even if it requires using only his bare hands.


2. a REAL man can not only memorize all of Bruce Lee's dialogue from "Enter the Dragon", he can recite it while the movie plays, doing a perfect imitation of Lee's voice.


and 3. A real man knows how to appreciate the finer things in life.

 

I'm no statue of manliness myself but these are a few things I think could go a long way...

Being able to accept responsibility for his actions and not to shy away from the reprocusions of the consequences. To be able to take the hard road because its not the goal at the end but the journey taken. Being able to stand up for yourself instead of being walked all over but thats more of a generalization of what I would like to see from someone. Both a measure of strength and intelligence in whatever situation made need it for... and you know... what MeltedMetalGlob said above... also... dressing like Indiana Jones... badass....

 

I have been thinking about how to address this question and I don't think I care what it means to be a man. I just want to be a good person.

 

I think this pretty much sums up the best answer anyone could give, being good to yourself and those around you.

 

No no NO! I want to see hot, sexy, manly bodies! Stop being all mature about this!

You guys SUCK at this game. I'm sad!

 

This is for you, ZombieSquirrel.

It's also for me, if we're completely honest.

 

Thank you PonyPotato! Thank you for MANNING UP!

I like suspenders.

 

I know I'm just a weirdo, and those look like nice enough guys, but beefcake does nothing for me. Nada. Might as well be looking at actual beefcake. Which is kind of gross when you think about it.

 

If everybody was attracted to the same thing, life would be boring.

Sadly, my attraction for beefcakes and my attraction for smart pants boys rarely coincide. I met a rugby player with a PhD when I first moved here, but then he got a job elsewhere and left me. He would have been my perfect man. Ok, not PERFECT. His PhD was in History.

Sigh. Oh well.

 

Did you do it correctly?
