The Art of Manliness

Every guy is “the Man” in his own head but have you ever wondered if maybe you’re not? To find out let’s do a check list:

1. Are you a 2^nd Dan or higher in some form of martial arts?

2. Is your partner 3 inches tall than you, beautiful, and a surgeon?

3. Do you do stunt sky diving?

4. Did your genes bless you with a son (unless  no kids is a life choice)?

5. Do you have a full shoulder-arm tattoo?

Or maybe the next check list is better for you:

1. Have you dated somebody who looked like a Lego character?

2. Did you get knocked out cold in white-collar boxing match?

3. Are you 3 inches shorter than your partner (if you don’t have 

partner then major fail)?

4. Do you own two cats?

5. Have you ever gone a year with a date?

(If you have daughters and sisters but no sons or brothers, then I am sorry but you are only a man by an evolutionary coincidence!)

If you fall into the first group then you can stop reading now as for the other 99% of us, you need a lesson in manliness. In fact, you need someone to hold your hand (you probably prefer this) and lead you into the world of manliness.
