'Scots men have been named the manliest in the world in a survey, with our English neighbours trailing badly in third place.

Voters were impressed by Scotland's rugged landscape and its status as the birthplace of Rob Roy and William Wallace, as well as modern-day macho men such as Sean Connery, Gordon Ramsay and Gerard Butler.

We topped the poll with 26 per cent of the vote, followed by Australia (16), England (15), Russia (14) and Finland (seven).'

I guess living off government handouts now constitutes being manly (from an earlier story):

The Scots will ultimately decide whether Sharia is temporary or permanent on the island.

Will they return to their roots of fierce desire for freedom?

If you can drink a generous glass of Laphroaig neat, and eat a heaping platter of haggis with mashed turnips on the side, while wearing a kilt and listening to bagpipe music, I suppose that qualifies as manly. Or tolerant of pain, anyway.

How can countries that banned guns consider themselves to have more manly men than the United States?

Manly men doing men's work in a manly manner (in skirt, purse, and poofy shirt):

According to this british newspaper Scottish are the manliest men in the world with the british "trailing badly" in third, so I'm guessing the welch are in the number two spot.

A year or two ago here on FR, someone posted an article about the Scots being the best/toughest warriors. When I look at what has become of Scotland and Great Britain overall and remember their history, I wonder if there are any left to fight the Muslim invasion.

Researchers polled 1835 people by email. The survey was carried out for male grooming firm The Bluebeards Revenge.

What the heck is a "male grooming firm?"

Looks like they sell foo-foo shaving cream, cologne and such with an improbable skull and crossbones on the label.

Men in skirts must really like it, whatever it is.

My wife is from Clan Gunn and I am from Clan Fraser. I guess we’ll have to fight to see who is the manliest.
