It's called PCOS, you can google it yourself. It's a lot more common than you think.

Haha no worries, I wasn't really offended

I lifted a flower pot and watering can!

FGR

I went out and did some bread winnin! Awww yeaaahhh.

Went to the local shop covered in plaster and masonry dust after labouring in my house for the day and ordered a sausage sandwich. That's not only the most manly thing I've done today, but probably in the last 10 years. Bashing a keyboard during the week just does not come close.

(Disclaimer: I wanted a full on breakfast roll but at 4pm they only had sausages left. It still felt manly.)

On a side note: I discovered today that when you walk anywhere in public covered in dust and plaster, less manly men look on in a combination of awe and reverence. Respect!

I sniggered twice at innocent comments which I interpreted as a bit suggestive because I have a dirty mind so I was told

true true, my man friends do it a lot though they would have been proud.
I did just put on boxer shorts for going to bed though, quite manly. (and yet incredibly comfortable and airy for sleeping in)

Festy

Had a ****e and didn't wash my hands after.

Absolutely reeked havoc on the toilet earlier. So proud

Mr.Prodston

I dipped my finger into a cup with freshly boiled water to see if it was hot enough.....it was :eek:






Some may just call that being an idiot

And here we come to the crux of the issue: how much of "being manly" involves "being an idiot"?

*A match to be precise.

I hope you didn't think I was calling you an idiot ...I was just thinking about what exactly counts as "manly" and apparently doing stupid stuff is involved to some extent (like driving around for an hour cause asking for directions is "not manly"...):)

Hang on a minute, are you saying wimmins get offended too easily? I'm very offended by that;)

I got a "Ooh look at the guns" at work today when I lifted something. On the outside, my only response was a chuckle.

But inside, I thought to myself, oh yes, my mighty mighty guns.

Farted very loudly whilst having my morning wizz.

I won't get drawn into confirming or denying anything. Full of manly behaviour today :pac:

Capt'n Midnight

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

I am currently proofreading the human genome and already identified seven new disease treatments. I am Jackie Chan's stunt double and the Stig. Every Tuesday I donate blood, platelets and bone marrow while giving survival lessons to nomads. I can shave with a blowtorch should the need arise and can create fire from ice. Unseen I watch The Citizen's back.

Today at great personal risk I prevented an attack by rogue operatives on a school that must remain nameless.

Mr Prodston between this manly deed and your recent boiling water escapade you are putting the other "men" of AH to shame. Keep up the good work

Went in the hardware shop and asked for something by name, and actually knew what it was for.

I tended to my crops.

(I watered the flowers, chives, spring onions, lavender and thyme.)

Today, I might dig a hole, or a series of holes.

Gokei

woke up with my daughters foot in my face, managed to scoop her up and transplant her back to her room without waking her.

As is the only thing I've done so far today, it's the manliest by default.

Not everyone operates on the same time. For instance, I'm about to go have a couple of beers, and fry a steak.

(And yes, it's still only 7.12am for me as well)

50SofG

good for you, but for me a steak for breakfast way to manly, so you win

Coutinho 10

Cooked and ate a full Irish fry two of everything a great way to start the day. Now stand back and hear me roar!

Having read all that I don't think my action of attaching a new USB device to my pc BEFORE installing the drivers is quite up to scratch on the manliness scale anymore...

W.Shakes-Beer

I went and bought a new can of manly deodorant because I got sweaty doing manly stuff!...

I then randomly bought my girlfriend some flowers on the way out of the shop...

Plazaman

Barbequed for 14 people mostly with one hand as a beer preoccupied my other one. Did the whole slathering the ribs with barbeque sauce with a paint brush and even tipped some Jack Daniels onto the burgers for flavour.

All this while wearing dubious shorts, one of those sleeveless wife beater type shirts and flip flops.

(Obviously yesterday evening not 9am in the morning but that would be manlier)







At least some of the blisters popped overnight......

I used an air wrench to take two front tires off a car. It has to be up there with racking a pump shotgun as one of the most manly noises.

Not a patch on the gentle, barely-audible "TICK" from a torque-wrench as you dial in exactly 95lb-ft putting them back on, though. In the words of the great Tim Allen: Ugh-Ugh-Uuuugghhh!
