Wear just one piece of jewelry, a watch.
So real men aren't married? [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif[/img] Or they just don't wear their wedding ring...

This was an interesting topic that came up at work. Don't ask me why
So the guys on my team helped me come up with this list. Any suggestions to add or delete?
*
Real men:
*
Never grill a steak past medium rare.
*
Can change the oil in their car, change a tire, or jump start a car.
*
Show respect without being a suck up.
*
Do not get excited over a restaurant's tea selection.
*
Can say "No".
*
Can build a campfire and pitch a tent.
*
Can take a joke and tell one back.
*
Can shoot, clean and maintain at least one firearm.
*
Can throw a baseball, swing a bat, and throw a football with a spiral.
*
Know how to dress for the occasion.
*
Can control their emotions at work.
*
Wear just one piece of jewelry, a watch.
*
Know how to operate a gas grill or setup a charcoal grill.
*
Can defend them self in a fight.
*
Can undo a bra with just one hand on the first attempt.
*
Can participate in a conversation about a sport they know nothing about.
*
Can deal with annoying people.
*
Can go to a party or nightclub alone.
*
Can ask for directions, eventually.
*
Always carry enough cash to pay for cash only items (i.e. parking valet)
*
Can admit when they are wrong (even though they still think they are right).
*
Can survive one night in the woods.
*
Always know how much money they have in the bank.
*
Can drive a manual transmission car (stick shift)
*
Always keep their refrigerator stocked in case they have company over.
*
Can install a ceiling fan or garbage disposal without any help.
*
Use less than one "product" in their hair.
*
Always attempt to fix a common household problem (leaky faucet, air conditioner not working) before seeking professional help.
*
If a part of their body hurts, real men give it two weeks to heal before going to the doctor.
Add: opens doors for women

Add: Is "ready to go" whenever she is (if you know what I mean hehe)

Add: Likes football

Add: Does NOT pluck or wax his eyebrows, go tanning, have a blowout, shave anything but his face, or know what brand of clothes he's wearing.

Remove: Know how to dress (that only applies to metros)

Remove: Can participate in a conversation about a sport they know nothing about (there are some pretty lame sports out there)

Remove: Can go to a party or nightclub alone. (real men don't even go to "nightclubs," let alone go by themselves!)

Other than that, good list!

so, of course, this begs the question: how would you define real women??
Pretty much those that are on here such as yourself [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif[/img].


Apparently I am not a "real" man since there is at least half of the stuff in the list that I don't agree with. I guess not being sexist is my downfall.

....think with the head above their shoulders.


....never hit women.


Proably the smartest comments on the list...Not nessecarily in this order!


BTW, i like the list...most of it anyhow!


I would add...Know how to talk to a woman beyond, yes, honey, whatever you want, or it's fine.


Can actually admit they watch chick flicks.


can dance- or at least hold me close and sway to the music


can admit to being wrong!
Congenital klutziness prevents me from dancing but I would be happy to hold you close, the closer the better, and sway which ever way you move me [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif[/img].

Real men:
[*]Aren't intimidated by a woman who can change her own oil, her own tires, and change out the spark plugs on her car[/list]
Brixjnz


Actually I think a girl that can do these things is sexy [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif[/img]. At least I could get some help doing all these things.

Real men are good at changing diapers and volunteering for midnight feedings... chasing away monsters from under the bed, kissing boo- boos and making voices for every character while reading bedtime stories!

No, can't be. According to the list and another post real men are not married and therefore would never be involved in any of these activities [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif[/img].
