Check it out: COMBOS(R) Brand Releases Manliest Cities in America Rankings With Nashville at Top and New York at Bottom
How close is your nearest Manly City? Does it make you proud?
I can tell you I’m about to pop a shirt button. I may even eat me some Combos this week.
Music City? Pshaw!
I listen to a Nashville radio station over the Internet, if crime = manliness, they have plenty of manliness!
Not much of a ranking. Doesn’t list a single city in Montana or Wyoming. We’re definitely manly men out here, especially looking at the criteria they used.
As usual, my city (at least the closest one to me) never makes these lists…too small. But if i had to guess, it wouldn’t be too many. Maybe in the middle? We have a fair amount of things like hunting and fishing (a large lake helps,) but we have an awful lot of vegetarianism, dirty hippies, and all that other “wussie” stuff.
Woo Hoo! We’re Number 2!
Gary, Indiana. Ok, the name isn’t too manly, but being one of America’s muder capitals makes it manly enough. I used to live about five miles up the road from it. You could nearly hear the gunfire.
That’s a big 10-4, good buddy. And lots of wrecks on the Intercourse, too.
I’ve got buddies in Livingston and a few in the wind river area of WY…no idea how none of those states were in the ranking…I mean Cleveland, Baltimore?? Really?
How is Cincinatti, OH in the top 5?
How does this list compare with the list of highest blue collar person %?
Cornelius, Man, hates nascar, sprots, sports bars, home improvement, has not fished since 12 and never been hunting.
Get you an NFL team and then we can talk.
I dunno. How can you calculate ‘manly’ without figuring in bear attacks? In both directions.
Absolutely not. Montreal is a very faggy city indeed. I mean, there’s a slight uptick of machismo if the Canadiens are in the playoffs, but other than that, we’re just about as faggy as you can get in the vicinity of poutine. Even the straight guys are gay.
I can pretty well guarantee that ain’t going to happen. The biggest city in Montana has a population of 100,000, and the whole state of Wyoming is only about half a million.
But bear attacks? We got them. You betcha.
Although I think you’re more likely to get attacked by a bear on the SDMB than you are in Montana – especially if you’re a conservative 
Milwaukee? It must be the beer.
Eat my man-dust, Houston!
Wussy Texans.
How come Buffalo was so far down the list? It’s pretty manly, isn’t it?
Where’s the manly list? Is it after the redneck list?
How is L.A. less manly than San Francisco? OK, you guys have a football team. Is homicide rate and gang activity a criteria? Of course, we are #48 and #49, so I guess it’s just quibbling.
Must be the bear attacks.
