Two-Fisted Tuesday
Yesterday we explored the mysteries of manly communication. As much as we may wish to dismiss the heroic figures in our lives as cavemen or exalt them like masculine demigods of a new age, we are simply flesh and blood and we need things to help us in our daily lives like anyone else. However, part of what makes us manly is that we don’t merely consume like anyone else. We do it in a manly way!
Manly Consumerism
Another way in which manly men can express themselves is by the things that they consume. To simply consume the necessities of life is not manly. You have to drink life in like a pitcher of skunky beer at a frat party. A manly man chews life like a gristly steak or a handful of beef jerky. It’s not enough to eat, drink and have shelter. You must fight for your right to party!
Listen To Hard Rock
If it doesn’t make you want to head butt someone, it isn’t manly music. The throbbing beats of hard rock are the lifeblood of a manly man. The pulse pounding rhythms of the bagpipes are an old school alternative, but most manly men will naturally gravitate to the kind of music that threatens to defibrillate your heart if you stand too close to the speakers. The kind of music they play at hockey games. The kind of music they play at sports bars between games. That’s what manly men really like.
Like Cars
Who doesn’t like cars? They get you places. They look cool. They have big engines that you can brag to your manly friends about. They have back seats that you can also brag to your friends about. Manly men love cars and the power that it gives them. Whether it’s the eye-catching power of a sleek, expensive sports car or the dynamic, backwoods power of a sturdy truck, cars are talismans of intense manly power. Is it any wonder we like talking about them so much?
Drink Beer
Kicking back a cold one after a lacrosse game or sharing a pint with your mates after a bout of rugby is the highlight of a manly man’s day. Something about the rich, 
frothy brew revitalizes a manly man like mead from the manly gods of old. You want to be manly? Chug a brewski with your bros and call it a good friggin’ day.
Eat Meat
Is there anything more manly than a plate of meaty goodness? A hunk of dead creature is the apex of the manly diet. In fact, the only thing more manly than eating a deliciously prepared serving of meat is when you kill the critter yourself. A couple of hours in the boat catching that fish makes it that much more tasty. Sitting up in a tree for hours just waiting for supper to pass within site of your scope is as manly a way to get your eats on as will ever be known. Let’s also hand it to the farmer who raises their stock to the pinnacle of tastiness and then dispatches them for the good of restaurateurs and grocery shoppers alike. Meat is manly. Chow down.
