When I was a young homeless kid.... Just kidding. In those days we called it living on the street. I developed a keen sense of my surroundings, and the people who were around me. It was instinctual, and I never thought to analyze it as a manly skill. At fifteen I knew I was prey, and spotting predators was a matter of survival. Well past my teens I was unable to go into a public place without sizing up everyone in it. At 61 I don’t care anymore. On the rare occasions I go anywhere, I figure everyone is a nutcase, and if they come at me, I will draw my firearm and plant them.

You’re right. Calling awareness a manly skill does sound farfetched. But that’s because our culture has destroyed men and their natural role as defenders. A shiny city on a hill without men is a city without walls, watchtowers or gatekeepers. That’s the outcome of the global communist conspiracy (and the feminist movement). It’s here and now.

+1. BTW there are many more nutcases around today.

I was looking for the T-Shirt that said "I'm too young to die and too old to fight - I'll just kill you". Maybe it was pulled for legal reasons.

I did find this one though (but I'm CCW and don't want to tip my hand):
