Being a modern man today is no different than it was a century ago. It’s all about adhering to principle...
1. When the modern man buys shoes for his spouse, he doesn’t have to ask her sister for the size. And he knows which brands run big or small.
8. The modern man uses the proper names for things. For example, he’ll say “helicopter,” not “chopper” like some gauche simpleton.
9. Having a daughter makes the modern man more of a complete person. He learns new stuff every day.
10. The modern man makes sure the dishes on the rack have dried completely before putting them away.
12. The modern man checks the status of his Irish Spring bar before jumping in for a wash. Too small, it gets swapped out.
13. The modern man listens to Wu-Tang at least once a week.
16. The modern man lies on the side of the bed closer to the door. If an intruder gets in, he will try to fight him off, so that his wife has a chance to get away.
20. On occasion, the modern man is the little spoon. Some nights, when he is feeling down or vulnerable, he needs an emotional and physical shield.
25. The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn’t own one, and he never will.
26. The modern man cries. He cries often.
27. People aren’t sure if the modern man is a good dancer or not. That is, until the D.J. plays his jam and he goes out there and puts on a clinic.

‘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.
I think it’s that movie about guys that wear dresses ;)
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.
Because once you've assembled these 27 “manly” traits, you're left with the portrait of a really smarmy and clueless little douchebag.
