The Ultimate Manliness Test!

Last edited Sat May 27, 2023, 03:25 PM - Edit history (1)

Step 1. Go to Target and buy a solid black women's v-neck t-shirt and a tube of Maybelline Nude Lust lipstick. (This shade is nearly invisible on your lips.)

Step 2. Put both of them on.

Step 3. Go to the supermarket you usually shop at wearing these items and purchase a six-pack of Bud Light, a fifth of Jack Daniel's, two steaks, two lobster tails, two baking potatoes, salad fixings, two ears of corn, and dessert. Return home.

Did you think to yourself:

a. I'm going to put everything that needs to be cooked in my smoker. It'll be great!

b. I have lost my manhood! I have fallen ill with the Woke Mind Virus! I must immediately regain my manliness by getting a huge tattoo of Our Greatest President Donald Trump riding an eagle while carrying an American Flag and firing an M60 machine gun down on the woke mob below, and then I must shoot this woke beer with my AR-15 while watching John Wayne movies. God, I hope no one I know saw me like this! I almost couldn't get out of my car for fear my friends will call me woke and never speak to me again!

If you thought (a) then you are a Manly Man.
If you thought (b) then you are a right-wing snowflake and there is no hope for you.

My dad thought it was very effeminate.

Mr Lake also won’t grill meat on the barbie,
and he does the dishes.

I love that manly stuff.

Although… in traditional manly style, he can not form the words “I’m sorry”.

I am blessed to have a “real” man in my life. At one point, my ex-husband was on the phone screaming at me. I held the phone a foot or so from my ear, and my boyfriend and zi could plainly hear every word! When I got off the phone, zi was bawling. This man was mentally abusive to me for years. That night was no different.

Anyway, I sat there sobbing. My boyfriend held me. I pushed him away, saying I had to go to the bathroom to get tissue. My boyfriend insisted I use his shirt. I explained I needed tissue for my nose, not my tears. He insisted if made no difference and he was fine with tears or anything else! That, my friends, is support. That is a “real” man. He loves you and supports you no matter what.

They would never consider that manly, but I say otherwise. We celebrated ten years in 2023.
