Not so manly pursuits?

[BTDT]

I had a pink t-shirt once. Got it right after washing some red socks with the rest of the clothes. My bride wasn't happy. So now I have more time for other things.

I hope bowling is not in the "not so manly pursuits category". I bowl twice a week in leagues and bowl in the state, southeast and seniors tornaments. I carry a 175 average, so I'm not that great, but do have a lot of fun. So, does that qualify bowling into that (not so manly pursuits) category or the fact that my average is 175.

"I hope bowling is not..."

Probably not, but it's getting close, especially if you do it with the Red Hatters and you only score 65.

Does shaping clay count? Usually shaping the female figure tho...
Is digital paint more manley than it's contemporary couterpart?

I personally think that "Tupperware parties" takes the cake for girliness. And once read an article in Cosmo which supported that theory.

bowling on a league is manly. Bowling for fun is not.

I shaved below the belt once...
But it was to get rid of the critters (long time ago guys). I suppose it would've been more manly to use a straight razor, but I mean c'mon, who has a straight razor these days. (Uhm, those days) It would certainly be much more manly to allow someone else to use the straight razor... Guts galor!

Made curtains for the back window of my truck way back in the day... American Flag - tho.

Hey, Rambo knew how to sew. Gonna tell him he's girly?

Oh, and, speaking of Dr Henry Cloud..

I read self help books - and even write them, too. (As if there is any such thing as "self-help")

"Build something with the directions" - you mean a fire right?

I think it is in how it is done though... They should have GUY Tupperware parties. Beer, pretzels, manly jokes.

Really, Tupperware is great for left overs, three day old take out food, extra hydrualic fluid for the tractor, washer bins and bazillions of other uses. All kinds of things that bachelors could use it for

They just present it wrong. There should be mixed Snap-on and Tupperware parties. Snap-on truck pulls up, you get tools to work on the tractor, the Tupperware truck pulls up, you get bins for parts, bowls to hold left over Chinese takeout, large bowl for washing parts, storing oil, or occasional use as a dog bowl.

Heck, the container my Glock came in sure looks a lot like a black Tupperware container...

Bah! Real men store their leftovers in military-style Pelican cases

If you feel compelled to make a list of your qualifications as a man, you might not be 100% qualified. A real man is secure enough in his identity that he can wear pink, have an "umbrella drink", or sit and watch a chick flick with the Mrs and never question his own masculinity. Opinions of others are merely that...opinion. It's what you think of yourself that counts in the end.

(I heard that on Oprah the other day)

Doesn't the fact that you heard it on Oprah qualify you for this thread???

That was what you'd call a "tongue in cheek" comment. Oprah isn't exactly on my list of "gotta watch" shows.
