Things you've done or never done that make you feel more like a man.

1. Never watched The Notebook
2. Shot something
3. Half-court 3 pointer
4. First alcoholic beverage
5. Never cross-dressed
6. Had sexual relations :smug:
7. Never watched Titanic

etc.

What are your Man-complishments?

Ladies, you can have at it too ;D

Check for all of these.

Caught, cleaned, filleted, and cooked my own fish.
Know how to drive stick
Learned to drift properly




Once, when I was probably sixteen, I was watching my baby sister and put her down for nap. I went out the garage with my dad's pellet gun and a cigarette and did a bit of target practice
That's fucking hot. ;]

Going with the stereotypical manly things:

-Change car tires (as well as pull studs out of winter tires)
-Drive a 3-Wheeler and a Ski-Doo before I hit adolescence
-Able to start either without an electric starter
-Know the difference between gas and mix gas by smell (sorta)
-Used a shotgun and know how to load it (been a long time since I've done that though)
-Sorta can drive stick, just not a good idea to let me. :p
-Fix small things around the house as well as install them
-Operate a low horsepower boat motor

Probably other things that I cannot think of right now either...

Most of this stuff is more of me being a country boy than anything and my dad's doing. He had wanted to teach me how to drive a bulldozer before I went to university, though he never did. I still don't know why he wanted to. Part of the logic is that he can operate a lot of that stuff thus he thinks he should teach me too, I think.

I'm somewhat handy with tools
I can burp like, twice as loud as Huxley can!
I (could) outdrink Huxley. (I've lost a lot of weight and I don't eat enough anymore, so I'm become lightweight. :()
I like cars...? I mean, everyone does, but I always rave about cars down the street when I look at them and the models and none of the guys I've ever dated cared about cares - makes me feel manly!

I can't think of any more. I bet Huxley can though.

You're probably more manly than someone who thinks having their first drink is manly.

When you get up to number 20 in one night without falling down, then you can start talking about drinking being manly. :p

But in all seriousness kids, don't do that.

When I was younger, I'd only watch the second tape of the VHS, because that was the part with all the cool special effects and everyone dying. No titties, but it was an age where those confused me more than aroused.

As long as it's got the alcoholic content of a beer or better (with some shots thrown in for good measure) it doesn't really matter what it is by number 20.

I fought a bear in the rocky mountains with only a stick and my trusty hound to help. It was a frightening experience and I have the scars to prove it. You see I came upon a cub and my dog, being that he was a dog, growled at it. We were next to a stream of course and smack right out of the water a momma bear-shark descended upon us.

I lost my good friend in that battle, Lewis. He wasn't a very smart guy, he thought he could hug the robot and it would all be fine. It was a robot-bear-shark you see. She started to shoot lasers at us and saws came out of it's robot-bear-shark chest and chopped dear Lewis up. My trusty hound and I were frightened but I had my stick.

Then it seemed the smooth informative voice of Morgan Freeman was heard, "I will kill you." When in hindsight, this wasn't very smooth at all. Informative yes but it wasn't as smooth as one would want that saying to go over.

It just so happened to have a file on hand that sounded like Morgan Freeman, it wasn't actually him at all. I was a bit relieved because Morgan Freeman AND a robot-bear-shark would really have done me in.

So the Morgan Freeman-robot-bear-shark was moving in for it's kill against me. I threw my spear, my stick, it was sturdy enough and while Morgan Freeman-robot-bear-shark was killing my friend lewis I carved the end into a point, to pierce it's heart. It died.

I'm that manly.

Not for the opening of the door part. I reckon that's pretty manly. Cooking can be viewed as a manly thing if you look at it in a different way. I'd say a very large percentage of head chefs are men these days, at least, according to a news article I read sometime back when some female chef was angry about it.

But yeah, mostly the door opening bit. Totally manly.

Let me just clarify my view on cars.

Manual = Using a clutch to change gears etc. Man cars
Automatic = everything else

So owning a automatic driver license shouldn't really be put in your manly list. Every 12yo can drive that way.

This! Exactly this. I learned how to do it rather well a couple of years ago, I was rather proud of myself.

Basically you could just pop it out of gear hit the RPM required and pop it right back into the next gear without ever touching the clutch.

I am a second Degree Black Belt in TaeKwonDo.
Stemming from the above comment, the weapons found in my bedroom are five swords (Two wooden practice, two bamboo and one steel), a Bo staff and two pairs of Nunchaku. I am able to use the Nunchaku properly too, which means I don't hurt myself when using them. I use two at a time. (They are surprisingly hard to use. People who are not trained with them tend to beat themselves up with them)
I can eat a board of Matzoh plain. (Matzoh is a giant saltine cracker but it's dry without the salt part.)

It's all part of being Jewish. When Pesach comes around I can't eat leavened bread for the duration of the holiday (8 days) :p

I'm pretty sure that qwerty could kill you with his sword, so that puts you at the bottom of the man tier.

Who here can actually drive a manual transmission without synchromesh?
What's synchromesh?

I've written my name in the snow while peeing.

Synchromesh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission#Synchromesh) From my understanding of that bit its the clutch? idk

I think I understand what he means now. Basically ripping and nearly destroying the gears so you can switch them without using the clutch. It's like that extremely grinding sound when you do it wrong, only ten times worse.


It's possible, but only morons would do that to their own car, or allow someone else to do it to theirs.

Stripped and re-roofed a house in a few days. Tore hundreds of pounds of vines and dead limbs out of the woods and burned them in Georgia summer heat and humidity. Those are probably the best ones.

It's basically just a part that lets you depress the clutch to change gears then release, before it was harder to switch gears.

Manual is only going to get easier and easier:

This is what CNET (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-10102550-48.html) had to say about the Nissan 370Z's SynchroRevMatch system.


Putting power to the rear wheels is a six-speed SynchroRev Match manual transmission, which is the worlds first synchronized downshift rev matching system. The system "blips" the throttle on downshifts and upshifts, matching engine speed to the next chosen gear, smoothing out gear changes. The driver still has to engage the clutch and move the gear lever, but the computer handles the rest.
I saw this in action on Top Gear. It makes downshifting so easy, it's like a video game ('cept there's a clutch). But then, what's the point of driving a manual at all if the car smooths out the downshifts for you?


For those who can't even handle that much, a seven-speed fully automatic transmission is also available with paddle shifters.
On the other hand, paddle shifters are cool because F1 cars have them. xD

Man, that's retarded. I hate automatic transmissions and all those innovations. :mad2:

Don't worry, manuals will always pull up faster.

Not to mention all the automatics make the manual cars cheaper.

True, very true. Faster, better on gas and cheaper in general. :cool:
