Manliness is an adjective that means to display actions which are man-like.

1.) Manliness is being about to cry at the right moment

2.) Manliness is being about to be a strong male role model for children and your peers.

3.) Manliness is being about to being able to kill vermin(rats, cockroaches, etc.) while women cowardly screech.

4.) Manliness is being about to devout your life to what you love and not care about what people think of you.

Ok, I had fun writing this..

"Manliness:

What is epitomized in the book an alphabet of manliness. This is charecterized by any action such as kicking babies, beating hippies, chugging hot sauce, and getting tucker max drunk."

There you have it. The only thing they left out was the whole "Scratching oneself"

I love the Alphabet of Manliness and Tucker Max is a god amongst drunks. I can't wait for his movie to come out next year.

Some of you have a really warped version of what manliness is. In a nutshell, if it can also be something a woman does that is womanly, then it is in effect not manly. End of story.

In short, is manliness something men have defined for themselves?

Here's my hypothesis:

Men are competitive and homophobic.

1) Things like eating and drinking becomes a competition and the guy who can eat the most meat or drink the most drinks must be the most manly

2) Gladiatorial sports, or sports that involve a lot of violence are considered manly because it satisfies some sort of competitive urge tha we have. We have to see some sort of conflict.

3) The stereotypical non-sensitive not holding back tears comes from homophobia. Being sensitive and emotional = being feminine and if you're a man and you have feminine qualities, you must be gay.

The most manly thing you can do is sleep with other men. It's easy to sleep with women, they're so small and soft. But if you can take a muscly man's man parts, you're clearly all man.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

You forgot the first rule on manliness. If a woman can do it and it's considered womanly, then it isn't manly. Women sleep with men all the time and nobody calls it manly.

Because they have a Vagina. We don't. You've got to be manly to face another man's man bits without the specified equipment.

Good point. Plus those dudes pork each other in jail all day long and they're all pretty manly.

Another manly thing is to piss and miss the toilet...purposely.
