Masculinity Appreciation Thread

[GinandTonic]

meh, being cavalier is only unmanly if you can't back it up.

False humility, IMO, is incredibly unmanly. A real man isn't afraid to say he believes himself loud & proud & if he gets knocked down by life in the process (as he will if he's willing to walk his talk) so be it, he learns something. But never once does he say "Opps, guess I shouldn't have said/done/believed that, I bit off more than I could chew". I real man always overestimates himself & pushes outside his comfort zone & thusly, expands to meet his own expectations of himself.

A real man isn't afraid to look foolish.

So very wrong. Blowing your own trumpet is inherently unmanly.

Epitome of manliness both because of that epic salt and pepper beard, and the shiny thing.

By definition, masculinity cannot be a virtue, as it cannot be universalized. So, this thread can suck it.

Women are by their very nature without virtue - especially after I'm done with them - so they don't count towards universalism. So take that, killjoy!

Hefeweizen? Hefeweizen isn't manly. Manly beers are dark and strong, like a nice porter or stout.

You've clearly never had Wehenstephaner. It is an extraordinary beer, I've never had anything like it (including other hefeweizens).

I, of course, agree wholeheartedly about dark strong beers. HW is about as light a beer as I'll drink, and even then only Weihenstephaner and Spaten.

I didn't say hefeweizens aren't good, but they aren't manly.

• Loving your mama

if you dont love women you arent a man?

I'm with Dachs on this. The bag needs to be where you can get at it, not on you at all times. If it's on you at all times, that means you're weak and scared, which isn't manly.

having this bag stored somewhere is a sign of fear and weakness too.
real men trust they could take those things with force if needed.

I didn't say women in general, I said your mama. If you don't love your mama (excluding obvious reasons why one wouldn't...Susan Smith for example), then you're not a man.

It's a sign of preparation. After all, you need to have your own water supply, in case the zombies contaminate the rest of it.

I love my mama. I love your mama, too.
