Are you a manly man?
So I saw the thread in GD bout the Promise Keepers and their manliness and I have to ask....are there any manly men here? I sure as hell ain't. I mean, all I ever did was work at a hardware store, bench 215 lbs., get drunk and headbang till my neck was sore at a Slipknot concert, drink Jack Daniels straight up with no ice, and laugh at the comedic routine of Tim Allan

So what makes you a manly man?

3. Lots of scratching
I live the Puritan lifestyle now that we have a new born-no smoking no drinking-which come to think of it is supposed to be what the Promise Keepers are all about... hmmmmm

9. as long there's not a "no sex" thing
the no-smoking and no-drinking thing are ok.

But be warned, you're one step away from being mistaken for a homo:P

4. I can make
these really cool farting noises with my underarms. I guess if I'd drink a beer the same time, I'm manly as hell. :shrug:

5. Yes, because I don't try to be "manly" at all.
I am comfortable with the person I am, and that, in my opinion, is the manliest (or womanliest) quality of all.

10. I don't know, but have you heard this Brazilian joke?
This redneck cowboy from the South of Brazil, a "gaucho", was standing at the bar with a guy from central Brazil, from Minas Gerais State.

"Down South we are men, real men, 100% men!" says the gaucho.

"Hmmm," goes the guy from Minas, "interesting... Well in my neck of the woods we are 50% men and 50% women, and we really like it that way!"

17. MAN COOKING!
In a cooking class I take for fun the group of people I work with are all males. Almost every single class we fuck up the recipe one way or another. The mixed groups or all female groups always come out with a picture perfect dish, so in our defense we call all of our stuff, "Man (insert food name)" So today a California stirfry turned into "man stir fry" as we all got frustrated trying to find ingredients in the kitchen so we just kind of made it up as we went, ate most of the chicken on it's own before the dish was finally ready. Then we mooch off other groups and eat their stuff claiming it is pitiful compared to the "Man dish" we created that day... We think that makes us pretty damn manly!

20. Work on my own car, make my own beer, made a smoker from a trash can
built a bar, and have claimed the basement as my domain.
Hmm, now I'm not sure if I'm a manly man or a redneck.

26. Not really
I'm really hairy, and I do like to belch and scratch. Overall, I'm pretty much a wimpy guy, though.

29. I nearly died of boredom during a three hour wait in the mall.
I had to wait for three hours at a mall, with no particular reason to be there. After looking in Sharper Image, Brooks Brothers, and the store that sells video games, the boredom really started to set in. At the beginning of hour two, I was getting desparate. Sure, my neck was a little furry - I could use this time to get the haircut I've been putting off for weeks. What? No barbershop? I'm not going to pay $200 for "a cut with George" or whomever at some foofy pseudo-East Asian place called Seven that looks like it ought to either be selling tea or have Splinter coaching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on seven ways to kill a man with a pair of barber shears. Oh no. There wasn't even a tobacconist at this mall, no refuge that smells like pipes and has things to look at like battle axes, swords, and replica Batleths. Nooo. There were five coffee joints and at least every other store sold nine bazillion kinds of soap. SOAP. A Home Depot I could have survived - I may never actually need a reciprocating drill and operating a random orbital disc sander in my apartment just might hork off the neighbors, but THAT I can look at for hours. Nine bazillion kinds of hammers just makes sense.

By the end of hour three, I was clinging desperately to the edge of the furnishings counter at Macy's, being kept from total brain death by a very funny former comedian who helpfully told me jokes while waving smelly cologne samples under my nose and educating me on the proper use of shaving oils as part of the traditional kit.

Finally, the wait was over. I left to meet my dinner engagement, arriving fifteen minutes early, and settled down at the bar with an old fashioned. There was a game on, Eagles vs. Cowboys. I sat back, sipping a drink, hat upended on the bar, brain happy and satisfied watching a bunch of guys get paid more money than I'll ever see to pat each other on the ass and pass a pigskin around. Suddenly, I'd gone from fifteen minutes early to ten minutes late for a dinner engagement in the very same bar, because of a game I hadn't ever had any intention of watching. Grabbing my hat, I headed for the hostess's desk, and that's when I heard the booming voice announce to me:

Those tits ain't fooling anyone. Today, AuntJen, you are a man.

30. I have given manly man lessons.
Close friend just is no good at any kind of outdoor cookery.
Asked me to teach his adolescent sons, grilling, smoking, barbecuing, etc.

"trof, you know all those manly man things. Will you teach Mike and Mark?"

We still get a laugh about his "manly man" remark.
