How, exactly, would you define manliness?
My quick definition is confidence in a situation of risk. A manly man has to know what he is doing.
"A man has got to know his limitations."

People listen to me, but they don't pay attention to what I say. I should punch them out, but I don't. Do so! (a night in jail ain't so bad)

When was the last time you did something that required physical strength?
It's true that nothing in my career requires physical strength, but in my relations with women, yes.
Such as?
Lifting things, opening things. My wife is quite small.
What do you lift?
Furniture. Not every night, but routinely. I *like* this guy.

My quick definition is confidence in a situation of risk. A manly man has to know what he is doing.Sounds right to me.
A decade or so ago, the Pittsburgh mayor, the HOT and gracious Sophie Masloff was hitting on me at a city sporting event. I knew what to do.
More later.............

Spare us the sordid details, willya.
To: martin_fierro; Petronski
Spare us the sordid details, willya. Ah, Sophie looks like a vaudevillian comedian there.
She was HOT the night we were together.
She actually complimented me on my exquisite Hebrew.
God knows what she meant by the following even after she translated it into English:
"Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide."
Oye Vey.... and Double Yoi!
