Cuz I ain’t giving up, hunting, fighting, self repairing etc.

And I can cook, too.

Yeah, whats wrong with being a Renaissance alpha? I can shoot it, field dress it, butcher it and make a killer Saltimbocca from the back straps. After that I might write some code (my job) or redecorate a room or change the A/C compressor on my truck or pour a concrete slab. Screw the woosies who can’t do the manly stuff and sorry if you don’t have a well rounded mind or good taste.

That's what I was thinking - nothing but a screed against alpha males. Guess what, we need alpha males. Not everything in the world can be solved with a therapist and a latte. Sometimes you've got to get your hands dirty - with dirt, grease, or blood. Somebody has to know which end of a screwdriver, or an AR-15, to pick up. That bacon ain't going to eat itself, nor will that whiskey drink itself...

Hunting? It's a good thing I live in the times I do, because I suck at it. I do know how to cook reasonably well. I'd never win a cooking competition, but I can hold my own at the neighborhood or work picnic.

Fighting? I'd rather not, but if you push me, you'll regret it - more than one person has learned that lesson the hard way. As I've mentioned before, I've never started a fight, but I've never lost one either.

Fixing things? You better believe it. My Dad could too. Wire a 220 circuit? No problem. Swap an engine head in the garage? Got it. Replace a broken garbage disposal? Before lunch. Build fixtures to help assemble a kit aircraft? Sure... These kinds of skills can not only give you a great sense of satisfaction, they can save you a pile of money.

And on and on. I basically disagree with everything the original author said.

You left out fishing.
I still do all my own home repairs and new installs, still hunt and fish, was a bachelor long before I got married so I know how to cook just fine.
Raised one daughter and one son, they both turned out just fine.
The only thing on your list I would eliminate is fighting, I am to damn old for that, so I will just shoot ya instead.
