I think for, @bob, it’s his giant kielbasa and two meat balls (for that sammich!)
Straight razor shaves in babershops. Women get spa treatments, but most of them don’t need their face shaved, so that’s one thing we get over most of them.
stretching with a bit of a growl
A remote in one hand, and the other hand in our pants while leaning back in a recliner watching SportsCenter is nice too!
Hitting a big jump on a snowboard or having great sex. Also, I just built a righteous shed in my yard, having never done that before and without plans. It looks great and is solid as hell. That made me feel manly.
Chivalrously opening the door for the lovely lady, and then copping a feel when she walks past. I’m entitled to some sort of reward, right?
@King_Pariah I have heard that when we say, “Ladies first,” it’s just an excuse for us to check out thier asses as they walk by.
@MacBatman31 SHHHHHHH!!!! There are ladies here who can see that! Now we’ll never be able to use that one get a nice ass mental pic!!!
@King_Pariah Ahh shit. Now I went and fucked up our scheme. Okay, let’s stick to your plan of opening doors!
Making obscenely big fires, building things, fixing cars, doing something extremely physical, awesome sex, eating a giant rare steak thats wrapped in bacon
@MacBatman31 goin for the Al Bundy approach eh?
The sound of a woman moaning.
Nothing like the satisfaction of a well done job.
Woman passing out. Ego inflated, god status achieved.
@uberbatman I must say, I respect the username! Very nice.
And yes! Al Bundy it is. That is exactly what I meant. Just add the recliner
We were in the sea today (again) and we were playing figure skating whilst in water.
I grabbed my girl and threw here away (is that a tolup?).
I scored a 7.55
Then I wanted also to be thrown but she couldn’t manage it.
That’s when I feel man.
@uberbatman Good catch! I didn’t notice that, but yes, minus that too. Maybe throw in a new LCD and some pajama pants too, jeans are just too confining.
The fact that I played an equal role in bringing up our wonderful kids (shitty nappies & all.)
I can wear a pink shirt with pride (even if it has little flowers on there.)
I ain’t afraid to cry at a movie or any other emotional outlet (yes, my team losing at football counts.)
Taking care of my wife and children (among other things).
Erm… looking at attractive women…;)
@bob_ makes me feel like a man.
@bob_ , I think she means you make her like she wants to have a man.
Walking erect (standing up, one foot in front of the other) the other kind too, I suppose.
Building or refinishing furniture in my woodshop and I agree with @bob, when she moans but at the same time flexes into a full body arch.
@wilma Well, I try to eat right.
ooh! now I think @choreplay is making me feel like (I want) a man.
@bob_ is that your secret to a good sex life?
So much about what makes one feel like a man is about pleasing a woman. Interesting stuff here too, @bob_ .
Ok, took me a long time before I could think of answers not involving sex..
Playing poker.
Joining a brawl.
Climbing a fence.
Grilling steaks.
Chopping wood.
Stitching up my own gaping wound, with blood gushing and all that. ( Ok, now that was Rambo )
@mazingerz88 is the stitching up your own gaping wounds a result of the chopping wood? It sure as shit would be if it were me with the ax :P
@uberbatman Clearly that was Rambo, not me. Lol. As far as I could recall, one serious gaping wound I had was at my back when as a young teen, the blade of the chisel I was using upwards slid off, flew to the air and landed on my back slicing the flesh deeply. I still have the scar. But that was not what made me feel like a man, I guess.
It was when this 35 year old woman I lived with in the house tended to my wound, got turned on for some reason ( I was young and half-naked ) and gave me a blow job right then and there. Oh boy. : )
I know that women can do these same things just as well as I can (that’s my favorite type of woman, actually), but cooking over an open fire, chopping down trees and making shit out of them, and building stuff from scratch and doing home repairs makes me feel pretty manly.
Fighting does make you feel manly. Displaying your power, especially if you’re winning lol. “Oh yeah, my fist just did that?!”
Oh yeah, add boxing to my list. Particularly of the bareknuckle variety. Fisticuffs!
Around my college years I had just moved to where I live now. I was a city boy living next to a national park. The wilderness intimidated me so I decided to face it head on and went into the national park in the middle of the night, by myself and hiked to the top of a mountian (it was marked trail and all). Fiddle is probably familiar with it, it’s called the Chimney Top. I stayed there and watched the sun rise before heading home.
Winning a round of TF2 as Heavy or Demo
POW! Haha!
How about having a woman thank you for covering their back?
Covering their back with what? ;)
@wilma thanks so much for making that joke. I have been patiently sitting here deciding whether or not to say something.
@Adirondackwannabe Regardless of what you meant, the answer is yes, it makes us feel manly.
