let the festivities commence

number 1:

a manly man can back up trailers of various sizes into places boys cannot.

number 2:

a real man knows how to start a fire without using lighter fluid, matches are acceptable however no match only adds to the manly'ness

number 3-infinity:

(insert your qualification of being a man)


(i gained my inspiration for this from the higher things thread :)

Take shots without chasing. Its not really that hard. Now if you want to be a real badass, then you chase with another shot. I have done it only once, it was not pleasurable.

commercial grade wood chippers are very manly

ive fed entire trees into ours at work. thing is a boss.

another manly thing, knowing the proper way to tie something down, whether that be to a trailer, ontop a car, whatever. knowing how to pack and tie things down is very manly.

How about be able to stand up for yourself and not get walked on by other people. Real men don't put up with bullshit.

a real man knows when he need help and asks for it so he doesn't humiliate himself any further.

A real man has a naturally good sense of direction and is an overall excellent navigator of any type of terrain.

and he is naturally leading "groups", like on a bus or in a queue or so, or when stranded on a deserted island. he will create food schedules and determine when the first fat guy will get eaten.

what cool claims do women have?
a real woman can bake a cake from scratch, a real woman can clean the house... in heels and a real woman has curves?
fuck that shit. baking and cleaning are easy things... and if you call your self "curvy"... get real, you're just fat.


being a girl sucks, boys get to have all the fun. also, guys always get along with other guys, but girls have this dumb stereotype of being bitchy/catty, selfcentered and generally annoying. I hate that, more than anything.

Sustain a conversation about football.

Grill a steak perfectly to medium rare.

Also, a real man should have a nose for fine Scotch, and he drinks it straight without ice.

Before you are a man you have to have gotten a truck stuck... then un-stuck.
Or helped someone else get their truck un-stuck.

if a women is hot and can back in a trailer, or drive a stick, or navigate. it in no way detracts from you.

its like a win win


not to mention every guy driving needs someone over there in the right seat riding co pilot to A hand him his fast food, B navigate should someone need to look at a map (unlikely that will happen) C good meaningful conversation

Cool claims?

Women can claim whatever they want, seriously, if a woman claims she can shotgun 6 beers in an hour or she can drive stick or whatever, that's sweet!
but when a woman claims to be "manly" that's just plain weird, even if she can do more manly stuff than most men...

so in short: Woman who can do manly stuff = HOT
Woman who are manly =

^this. obviously claiming to be "manly" is not attractive, but if I were to say "oh hey guys, I can shot gun a beer, drink straight whiskey, grill a steak, back up a trailer and change my own oil" you'd ALL be like "THAT'S SO HOT"

no rednecks do. Unless you are a GC or some profession where it is essential.

To add the list, a man must have build a shed wit his own tool set.
