I was just tooling around with the User CP and decided to make my status "A Man's Man," because I feel I am a pretty manly, masculine guy. This led me to question a few things (none of which were my sexuality or own machismo), such as "what is a generic man's man?"

Barring Grizzly Adams, and any other personified characterizations of manliness...what do you think it takes to be a man?

I hit the gym, I lift heavy weights, I shave with a straight, I spend time outdoors whenever possible. I prefer to use my hands and get dirty, and think the only thing sexier than a '67 Cobra would be my dance-team girlfriend. I've got chest hair, I've got body hair, and I don't shave it off. I'm never afraid to spill my own blood, provided I have fun (like jumping around on cliffs and occasionally slipping). I own a gun, I own a ton of knives, and I want to own a big, meaty dog down the road.

So, what's manly to you?
