    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.

      This topic has always amused me and right now I could use some laughs. Please imagine and post any deeds that award or take away man points. I'll start with some picked from the web, but I encourage you to be inventive: + Stoking a fire with a stick and causing bigger flames + chopping down a tree with an axe + sharpening a pencil with a knife + digging a big hole manually(without mechanical assistance) + Catching a drink that has fallen off the table. + Using the phrase, “I think I know what I’m doing.” ____________________________________________________ - Lighting a cigarette on the wrong end. - locking someone else's keys in their car. - Keeping track of Man Points. - Using the phrase, “I wasn’t crying.” - Calling your girlfriend/wife.

      + 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.

      cheers, Chris Maunder

          Reminds me of something I read some time ago. Good and Bad ways of Dying. Good Ways... Leading a Heroic, yet suicidal charge into the enemies lines to save the day. Getting hit by Car whilst saving a childs life. Heart attack whilst making love. Shark Attack. Sky Diving. Bad Ways... Anneurism whilst taking a dump. Choking to death whilst engaging in 'experimental' sex. Burning to death after cooking when drunk. Anything involving sheep. Drowning whilst saving dog.

          "Well, if we are to die, Govan, let us go die like men."

          Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

            Astonishing that you attracted the low votes for that. Dora would have been proud to see the negative. Have another 5

              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.
