Well ok weird topics and stuff sorry heh
but I was stumbling and I came across stuff on places like mens health and others
and it made me think
when someone says your soo manly or
manly things
what makes said activity manly?
What Im pretty much asking is that
theres all these roles that have been set but over time they change and expand
so what makes a man a gentleman when he could just be being nice or a man a so called manly man because hes out chopping wood or something ....

The song "I'll make a man out of you" from Mulan lists a good description of a man. Or at least is fun to sing and taunt guys with
On topic, I think what makes an activity 'manly' is if it takes physical strength and endurance. It's sexist, sure, but traditionally men are stronger than women.
Gentlemen: basically, a woman considers a man to be a gentleman if he does kind, thoughtful, and considerate things, such as holding doors, pulling out chairs, and giving flowers. Things that show he cares about her
Manly men: This brings me back to the physical prowess stuff. Strong, powerful, 'muscular'.... any activity that requires something that a woman traditionally would not do could be considered 'manly'. It's like the color thing: girls wear pink, guys wear blue. It's tradition and even though traditions are hard to break, they're being broken constantly because of the times we're in

I hate how sexist it all is and stuff. Many people think drinking beer, watching football, lifting weights at the gym with other guy friends are stereotypical "manly" things and it is so narrow-minded. Ugh. I like how over time society has grown to accept many things, but we still can't get over these gender based stereotypes of what is masculine and what is feminine. It is super provoking.

It's totally arbitrary and varies between cultures. I wouldn't worry about it unless you're desperately trying to fit a stereotype or something.

Gaston= Manly man. Quote: Gaston:
Who does she think she is?
That girl has tangled with the wrong man!
LeFou:
Darn right.
Gaston:
No one says "no" to Gaston!
Dismissed! Rejected!
Publicly humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear.
LeFou:
More beer?
Gaston:
What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.
LeFou:
Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together.
Lefou:
Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Ev'ry guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're ev'ryone's favorite guy
Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why
No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston's
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, d**k or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on
Lefou and Chorus:
No one's been like Gaston
A king pin like Gaston
LeFou:
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
Gaston:
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!
Lefou and Chorus:
My what a guy, that Gaston!
Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip-hips!"
LeFou:
Gaston is the best
And the rest is all drips
Chorus:
No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
LeFou:
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston!
Bimbettes:
For there's no one as burly and brawny
Gaston:
As you see I've got biceps to spare
LeFou:
Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny
Gaston:
That's right!
And ev'ry last inch of me's covered with hair
Chorus:
No one hits like Gaston
Matches wits like Gaston
LeFou:
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
Gaston:
I'm espcially good at expectorating!
Ptoooie!
Chorus:
Ten points for Gaston!
Gaston:
When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Ev'ry morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge!
Chorus:
Oh, ahhh, wow!
My what a guy, that Gaston!
No one shoots like Gaston
Makes those beauts like Gaston
LeFou:
Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
Gaston:
I use antlers in all of my decorating!
Chorus:
My what a guy,
Gaston! I really don't like manly men XD

This poem is a nice way to describe being a "man" (well more human than man considering a female could also be like that) Oh and if you want to be a MANLY man, learn from the old spice guy

Manly men are the alpha males that always seem to be in charge because their strong voice seems to be hypnotic to all the lesser males and loin-frothing females. They'll usually either be giant furry apes with mustaches, mutton-chops, or just outright be completely hairless because their muscles push so-far out of their skin that it becomes impossible for hair to grow.
They like fisticuffs too.
Manly men are lumberjacks, like the Brawny guy. Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia! The Fir! The Larch! The Redwood! The mighty Scots Pine! The plucky little Aspen! The great limping rude tree of Nigeria! The smell of fresh-cut timber! The crash of mighty trees!

Testosterone.
Being a man is about as useful as having a loincloth.

Manly men = the typical guys guy that all the men like and they all think women love but secretly a lot of women think they are stuck up idiots.
Men in general = lovely people as long as they are being themselves heart

Manly men, are the men who bring the dinner home. They do the hunting, the killing, the skinning. In some countries alot of men still live by that standard. They can't afford guns and the such, so they'll kill animals either A) with their bare hands B) crafty trapping skills C) precision with the weaponry they have (bows, knives, spears). I would say I'm a manly man, but I haven't done alot of hunting for food since I was a teenager. : I refused to hunt deer and rabbit with rifles. Trapping was my thing. Also, men who don't take crap to rude people in front of their lady friends are pretty manly. ;o They don't bow down to anyone (not so much for being macho or whatever) because of their moral views and the such.
