Uh, I guess going to the gym regularly is the closes thing I can think of that would describe my "manliness", otherwise, no, as I don't consider spending almost all your time on the laptop like I do manly.

I have studied and used a lot of thinking time to figure out what is manly and how I fit into that lifestyle. In other words, list anything logic. Where I live there can be hard to sustain one's masculinity, but I strive to do it and it's giving me great results in life. I think masculinity is very important for a man. The more the better.

I lift weights to stay fit. I have done this all my life.

I wear dark glasses and thermal beanies a lot. Also wear big jackets, boots and generally walk around such that I take up the whole pavement.Helps to be a rather large person ... :afro:

I was in the US Army for 20 years. I felt quite masculine. I drove an M113 armored personnel carrier for 18 months. I've qualified several times on the M16 rifle, qualified on the Colt .45, the 10 mm Barretta. I've fired grenade launchers, antitank weapons, thrown grenades, and even qualified on the German machine gun. I love firearms. I've rappelled, road marched for many miles, fish for walleyes and pike, and canoe in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota. I don't have a laptop or an Ipad. I do have a Kindle reader.

Thanks much. I retired in 2005. I never regretted my service.

Allow me to tell you the news. The actual exam is performed under anesthetic that totally knocks you out. It's the preparation that is the WORST. Trust me on this. Sitting in the waiting room before the exam was PAINFUL.
