‘Modern man’ sounds like he has the mind of a child that did not have his father teach him to be a real one. I am so thankful for my real man.

Forgot to mention I also shoe horses. Well, I used to till my back told me different. I can still make a horseshoe real easily from round bar stock but flat bar is easier. also make my own branding irons and camping tools like steel tent stakes, pot holders, tripods.

I attempt to speed up glo-bull warming by using my coal forge as often as possible.

What strikes me is the utter conceit of this beta-male manchild who so plainly came up with this list by thinking up things about himself and arbitrarily designating them as “manly” with nary an understanding of anything that constitutes real masculine virtues.

Because once you've assembled these 27 “manly” traits, you're left with the portrait of a really smarmy and clueless little douchebag.
