Masculinity Appreciation Thread

[Narz]

Biking is only manly if done without a helmet or pads. Also, none of those pansy tights.

Agreed. Pads are certainly not manly.

It would however be manly to keep such creatures for use as fishing bait, or as light snacks for oneself.

Agreed again.

Ugh, all this agreeing is not agreeing with my masculine essence.

You need to agree with noncommital grunts.

Also, ending all your showers freezing cold is manly. I have been doing this every time lately, and would like to continue to do so thru winter.

Start it scolding hot. Then turn it down to freezing.

Pretty much what I do, well one stop short of scolding, my skin generally turns a bit red. Invigorating, it is. Kind of like doing a sauna & then jumping naked into the snow, then back in the sauna & do it again. You always have to end cold though.

I do that, but don't usually end cold. That's more an "I'm a cheap bastard and water costs money" thing though.

 

[Narz]

Cold water is cheaper than hot though.

But props, being a cheap bastard is manly, whereas being needlessly extravagant, wasteful & careless about money is not... at least not when it's your money (when it's other people's money it's evil manly but good manly pwns evil manly every time because, at it's core, evil manly is fearful & thus not truly manly which is why evil manly must resort to deceit & underhanded tricks to get what good manly could get purely out of devotion from his admirers. in summery, teenage boys who think Machiavelli is cool are inherently unmanly).

Ditto for brands of football.

Ditto for brands of football.

But they have to actually make contact. None of that "ooh, I'm not wearing sleeves, look how high I can jump" garbage.

manly men, doing good honest work!

as opposed to these:

 

[Bugfatty300]

What about TV shows about battles, disasters and police chases that are narrated by hyper, pumped up and overly-excited hosts? Are those manly things?

certainly NOT!
hyper pumped up things are lacking in confidence and are weak!
a gentleman will never run!

notice the markings of manhood:
shaggy dog, heeling.
shotgun, ready to defend the home against the horses of hell
ammo bandolier, fo rthose extra shells.
long beard....
minimal hat to block the rain.

Manly tackling is in short supply these days.

Watch rugby league. Even if they are doing their best to pansy it up, and fist-fights and all-in-brawls are a thing of the past () it's still good.

@soul_warrior: The hat is more for shading the eyes from the sun to improve vision when hunting. Don't want that pesky tiger getting away because of glare. Real men don't need protection from the rain, though Once Upon A Time in the West has taught us that bowler hats may be used for catchin' water for a-drinkin'.

Everyone loves a good manly Hockey brawl

And Detroit Red Wings vs Colorado Avalanche always had the best ones

Killing beautiful beasts from afar with a gun to impress women is not manly.

 

[bhsup]

I'm sorry, I don't see a gun in that picture. He might have well bested the beast with his bare hands and bear arms.

 

[Narz]

or maybe it just died of natural causes & he saw a photo op.

I'm gonna have a manly dinner. Chilli!
