Does manly just = fat, now? And, really, no one loves salty snacks like ravenous PMSing females.
I’d expect all the manliest cities to be in Florida/America’s Wang.
I just guffawed.
Hmmm… consumption of salty snacks a criteria for manliness in a survey sponsored by a salty-snack making company? Plus, as far as I can tell, those pink Cadillacs the Mary Kay salesladies drive are U.S.-made cars and counted in the total.
I’m WTFing over the entire concept of “manly cities”. Is there going to be a ranking of “womanly cities”? What’s the criteria going to be for that? I reckon if it’s sponsored by Combos (which, by the way, are so nasty the company shouldn’t even be in business, much less sponsoring superfluous surveys), it will be consumption of salty snacks… :rolleyes:
Yeah right, “The Queen City,” indeed.
But it’s soft.
Well, I used to live in Manly, New South Wales. So, ha!
And it’s that quibbling that drops you a point. 
Wait, Boston ranks higher than Houston?
Damn it all, I may have to move to Montreal.
JRB who’s a girl and ain’t a big fan of the manly
Minneapolis at #18 is a little surprising, but Chicago at 46 is downright unbelievable.
The City of Big Shoulders and “da Bearss” at 46?
Odd.
Then again, I’ve seen the Bears play. Maybe they’re right.
is this ,“bert sperling,” the man behind the best places to live study, a relative to cy sperling, president of ,hair club for men?"

Technically, it’s not the quibbling, it’s the choice of the word ‘quibbling’. If it was ‘fighting’, they’d be higher up the ladder.
Manly city hell, I live in a manly state. Every major Ohio city is on the list. that explains my 2 chain saws and 6 power drills. Ar Ar Arrr.
I guess Ohio is more manly than I thought. Three in the top ten, and five in the top twenty.
I always thought Ohio was more emo than manly.
At 49 out of 50, we’re less manly than San Franciso. Gah.
Well, I saw Manly Peak at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley. Does that count?
You’ll find quite a widespread "Manly"sub culture across working class U.K.,it involves speaking in an unnaturally gruff voice,exaggerating your local accent,swearing alot, pretending an excessive interest in football,swapping a lot of abusive banter with your mates (To show that you’re not gay)pretending to have been in lots of fistfights and feigning extreme callousness about other peoples suffering(but not children,you want to be seen as a rough diamond with a heart of gold)
Also pretending that you’ve been involved in various sorts of crime can be useful and of course having tattoos.
If challenged on why, if you’re such a hard case, you’re not in Iraq or Afghan killing foreigners you must say that NOBODY gives you orders EVER.
Do NOT say that you are (A) scared to leave your hometown and mum or
(B) scared crap less of being hurt or killed.
Heh. Plus Santa Barbara is as Los Angeles as Utica, NY is Manhattan. Please. I did find the bottom three to be pretty amusing.
- San Francisco, Calif.
- Los Angeles, Calif.
- New York, N.Y.
I also find it funny that their definition of manly seems to include NASCAR enthusiasm, monster truck rallies, and Cheetos consumption. They could just as easily rename this “50 Douchebaggiest Cities.”
And what’s so manly about owning a US made vehicle? Nothing says man like a Ford Taurus? :dubious:
Hee - was waiting for someone from Australia to post.
What the hell? How did we get beaten by Orlando? We’ve got way more rednecks, they’ve got way more Disney.
This thing is rigged, I tell ya…
Clearly the makers of this list have never been to San Francsico. Bear attacks aside (and it doesn’t count if there’s no mauling), this city is about as manly as the French Mistake. New York my ass…
