I'm interested in hearing from the women on CP how men gain points. :)

That you are extremely bright, very discriminating, absolutely likeable, iconoclastic, a shepherd not a sheep, and probably have no interest in man points.

Fixing your broken down car at 9 at night with the wife in the pasanger seat? Oh, and taking out spiders. That always impresses the girls. For some god knows strange reason.

+ Stoking a fire with a stick and causing bigger flames

It depends on what you mean by a "stick". If it was a mere misspelling, and you intended to type "dick", it once more depends. Are you stoking the fire with your dick or someone else's? If it's yours, you get man points for a) sticking it in a fire, and b) having one long enough to do so without burning the rest of your body. On the other hand, you lose man points for damaging an otherwise useful tool. If you're using someone else's dick, again it depends. If it's still attached to the owner and he's smiling, you lose man points. If you kill him in an honorable duel to the death, and then cut it off his body, and then poked it in the fire as you laughed heartily at his valiant but pointless attempt at triumph through battle, you gain man points. There is still much debate over whether or not the severed dick is a viable food item, even after being thoroughly cooked. My advice for now is to not partake until it has been determined what kind of affect it will have on your man points total.

+ chopping down a tree with an axe

That earns you man points, but only if you're using the tree to kill an enemy, or using it for firewood for the topic discussed above.

+ sharpening a pencil with a knife

Anyone can do that. No man points.

+ digging a big hole manually(without mechanical assistance)

You're stuck on this manual labor thing. No man points for digging it yourself, but if you capture slave girls and force them to do it for you, all the while promising them the greatest sexual pleasures they've ever known, then you get man points.

+ Catching a drink that has fallen off the table.

Real men don't stop drinking long enough to put their drink down. However, if you get into a fight in a bar, and the drink is knocked off of a table due to the intrusion of your latest victim onto the table, and THEN you catch it, you have to drink it to get man points.

You lose em for that.

Real men just act like men, without regard for who's watching or what they think. Women are attracted to that. It's simple, really. End of discussion.

+ burning the daylights out of any large chunks of meat that happen to find their way on to your BBQ while holding, firmly, an ice cold beer in hand. + Fixing your own car. Bonus points for inventive phrasing about mechanics and highway robbers, and the similarities therein. + being able to walk into a room that has a game on the TV and being able to name correctly all players currently on the screen with no previous knowledge of who was playing or what was being played. Bonus points for amusing and arcane anecdotes about said players that are over 5 years old.

I can see that you have no earthly clue about what man points are. You get man points for doing manly things, and they get taken away for doing un-manly things. There are no man point awards for being a dork.
