10 Acts Of Unmanliness

Saying a dude is being unmanly can be a pretty harsh cut down. Manliness for most dudes is all they have. But, no matter how much of a “man” you are, every male has their times where the female in them comes out. It’s a fact…I think. Here are 10 examples and of these 10 I would be willing to bet that most of you guys will fall guilty of at least 2 of them…

The Choice In Car

Dudes have several choices when it comes to a vehicle. You can go with a nice jacked up four wheel drive truck or you can opt to go with a pretty red Mazda Miata. The choice is yours, but be warned it could make you look a little girlish.

A Man Purse

You don’t need to be carrying around so much shit that you need a “man purse” or “man satchel”. If your personal belongings won’t fit into a conventional wallet then you may need to evaluate them.

Choices In Alcohol

Being a man doesn’t necessarily mean drinking nothing but beer, but that doesn’t mean you need to stray so far as going with a Bartles and Jaymes or worse a Cosmo. Mixed drinks are fine, just limit the amount of fruit that is involved.

Excessive Crying

There are only a small amount of times that crying is okay for dudes. Weddings, deaths, and births are about it. If you cry over every disappointing thing that happens to you then you may need to have your estrogen levels checked.

Cell Phone Color

We, as dudes, have no business expressing ourselves with the color of our cell phones. Black and silver (with the occasional white) are the only acceptable colors. If you have a brightly colored cell phone and or one with pretty stickers on it, then you may be guilty.

Manscaping

I am using the term “manscaping” pretty broadly here. If you get mani-pedi’s, sculpt your bodily hair, or spend more than 15 minutes getting ready to go somewhere then you are a little too in touch with your feminine side.

The Need To Shop

This is pretty cut and dry. A man should know exactly what he needs before entering a store and have a clear and precise exit strategy before entering. There are only a handful of stores that it is exceptable to spend more than 15 minutes in. This list does not include Bed, Bath and Beyond or the local Pottery Barn.

Needing A Girl To Kill A Spider

There is a nasty stereotype that men are supposed to be brave and heroic and kill spiders and bugs. However, I have no shame at all asking my wife to kill that 8 legged freak when it comes into my house. To be honest, when it comes to bugs and insects…I’m a little bitch. Almost as bad as this dude:

Man Hugs

There are appropriate times to hug another dude. It’s almost the same as crying; marriage, death, birth. If you feel the need to hug a bro every time you see him or prefer a man hug over a fist bump then you may be guilty.

Choices In TV Programing

There is no gray area when it comes to watching TV or movies, it’s either produced for women or it’s not. If you find yourself watching Grey’s Anatomy or the Oxygen Channel over Sports Center or a bloody MMA bout then you may be guilty.
