What are the social standards of manliness?

[Daz]

Just owning tools isnt enough. You actually have to know how to use them.

Being a gentleman (you know, holding doors, complimenting, having patience for female crap...)

Sounds like "boyishness," not manliness. How 'bout:

(A) Providing for your family.
(B) Protecting those less able to protect themselves.
(C) Helping those less fortunate than yourself to improve themselves.
(D) When you spectacularly fall on your ass trying to do (A), (B), or (C), not to mind because you know your ego is far less imporant than doing (A), (B) and (C).
(E) To "Never give up; Never surrender!"
(F) To live your life in such a manner so that, "when you're born, you cry while all about you smile, but when you die, you smile while all about you cry."

Whatever. Everyone does that.


Real Men
a) Don't Cry
b) Lie about the size of their penis
c) Lie about how good they are in the sack
d) Lie about how good they are at sports
e) Call things that aren't sports "sports" such as car racing, fishing, hunting and golf
f) Don't mind eating beef jerky and beer for breakfast
g) Can sleep in the forest
h) Agrees that Chuck Norris is the best action star EVAH and would probably get his butt kicked by John Wayne the best Western star EVAH
