It sounds to me that us guys in Los Angeles drive what we want and eat what we want without giving a shit what other people think. It’s kind of sad to think there are large swathes of the country where men are so self-conscious and insecure about their masculinity that they have to reinforce it by hiding when they’re offered a cupcake.
Yeah, Nashville here…where even us women ride motorcycles and drive pick-ups. (I do love me some sushi, however, and we have a couple of cool cupcake shops here)
Um, Lou Ferrigno is a lot closer to being a Los Angelino than the rest of the country.
Just saying.
Detroit’s number one form of gainful employment is probably violent crime. What’s manlier than that?
You better not say that when Judy Gold is around. She’ll tear you up.
Yes, but did they scratch their balls?
Very carefully.
Didn’t they also wear socks with birkenstocks or footsie pajamas or something? These were not manly men.
“Registered pickups within the city”, you say? Surely frivolous pickup trucks (never driven off-road, not used for hauling things) would be worth negative points, wouldn’t it?
And his macho cred compromised by his connection to that tune “The Lonely Man”
Yes, their list of manly things included steakhouses. No mention of hearts of enemies, though.
Game over. Sushi = Bad ass.
Nah. As far as badasses go, ninjas are sort of girly men. They’re nimble and sneaky and fast, they wear black and slink around in the dark, and they throw stars and shit at you. It’s like they kick your ass through speed and trickery rather than straight up badassedness. So it makes sense they’d be sushi eaters rather than raw steak eaters like real men. 
I’m reasonably cautious about making Lou Ferrigno angry (I hear you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry) but is body building really a manly activity? What’s manly about closely watching your diet, shaving your body hair, and competing in beauty pageants? They should have gone with a power lifter instead.
EDIT: There’s a woman on the board of manliness! Well, now they’ve lost all credibility as an academic institution.
While I fervently disagree, I cannot help but chuckle at referring to ninjas as “girly” because “throw stars and shit at you.”
Yeah, you’ll be laughing out of your newly drilled asshole when you find yourself impaled by a throwing rainbow.
Real men die in Memphis straining at stool. The West Coast just found out.
See there? Even Ninjas’ weapons have girly names. And they don’t kill you either. They just cut you up…kind of like fingernails. 
Wait a fucking minute. Don’t ninjas wear footsie pajamas too? Game over man, game over.
The only manly pickup trucks are unregistered, un-insured, broken down trucks sitting on the front yard, the classic Southern Indiana lawn style. The more rusted, derelict trucks in the yard, the more manly the owner of the property. If you see a yard with ten or eleven junked trucks, chances are the owner has balls as big as coconuts. Bonus points if there’s a mean dawg patrolling the yard.
As we learned from [Ron Swanson’s pyramid of greatness], fish meat is “practically a vegetable.” Not manly.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAQ4yNgXelk)
