re: Some very unmanly things you've observed from "men"

At this point, as long as, you arent sharing your woman with other men, and/or suck dick or other physical gay acts with men, and/or act like a female you are pretty good in my book.

What if you get bumfricked by a woman wearing a strap-on? That’s still manly right?

I think there is probably something like the hot/crazy matrix for women, only it's the poor/manly matrix for men.

I change oil, water pumps, radiators, thermostats, injectors, distributors, u-joints, ball joints, pretty much everything from one end to the other of a vehicle. I have rebuilt motors on everything from a 3.5 hp Briggs, to a 428 Cobra Jet Mustang. I've been a painter, a plumber, I've framed houses, wired houses, pretty much everything from the roof to the crawlspace. I've never had a pedicure, think cheese and bacon is a gift from God, but don't drink wine, because it makes my head hurt.

I've done almost all of this because I needed a job, or was too damn poor to pay someone to do it for me. None of it makes me any more or less manly than the next guy. If you think that's the case, may I suggest you take up some more masculine hobbies and tasks, and you might want to stop telling folks that doing a fricking oil change would be the height of your masculine achievements. I had my wife changing her oil with my help when she was 22 years old, and she's as girly as frick.

Agreed.... I'll buy you a fruity alcoholic beverage with a few mini umbrellas in them and we shall tell tales of manliness lol.

My exwife was an even bigger count when it came to painting or hanging shite in the house. So I stopped doing such things so either she would have to do it, beg her dad to do it or pay to have it done. Her dad even told her that she was insane in her ways.

Plus I hate painting so I would gladly pay someone to do it. I would say a dude who has a man bun and wears skinny jeans isn't much of a man....

OP handle = Wanken

Claims he will do most any handyman job except "change
his own oil?!?!

Something does not seem right here ......

BTW FWIW the reason I pay to have other messy, menial jobs done by others is the same reason .
I have better things to do with my time.

If that makes me less masculine, so be it.

I make more money when I delagate opportunities to other folks. Time allows me to earn more wealth than mowing the yard myself and losing those two hours.

I just have never been the kind of man who insists on paying other men to do what I can do myself. Except changing my oil. Screw that.

know another guy who had to get a bedroom painted and paid a painter to go paint it for him instead of going to Lowes, getting a gallon or two of paint, and going home to do it himself.

I build things by hand as a hobby.... I fricking hate painting though... I'd rather pay someone.

I know a guy who takes his car to the dealership for a new battery every time his battery dies instead of going to autozone or Walmart, buying one, and installing it himself.

Easier to write a check than doing it yourself. Or just take to Autozone and they will install for free

I know another "man" who gets pedicures from time to time because he says it's relaxing.

Eh. I hate cutting my toe nails. While I dont get these done, I've thought about it.

I know another "man" who is liberal (I know, remove his man card just for that) who loves to go wine tasting with cheese. He gets his rocks off to that crap, like it's the most amazing thing ever. He also raves over and over about a cup of coffee he bought in Italy one time as if it's the end all be all of coffee.

---

No excuse for the liberal part. I do like wine, but not enough to go tasting, and certainly not cheese. However, I would certainly do this in the Napa, or any, wine region.

I, on the other hand, am a huge DIYer. I'll do almost anything except change my own oil. Even if I've never done it before, I'll still go to youtube or google and figure out how to do it, then go at it. I just have never been the kind of man who insists on paying other men to do what I can do myself. Except changing my oil. Screw that.

Easier to write a check than do pretty much anything myself.

Pedicures (not painted toes) are a practical thing. I've never had one but my heels tear the bed sheets so I need to have one.
