Okay, I can't take it any more, I must confess, and gentle people of the forum, this is very true.
I won't bore you with facts about being a United States Marine (There's lots of Jarheads out there) or being high school wrestling team captain in 11th grade (I'm sure that has happened before and/or since). I'll refrain from boasting about the women I've had sex with and/or tickled (I consider myself lucky I'm not communicable, and happy with being monogomous for a decade).
I won't go into how I tore a muscle saving my daughter's life (Tho I DO still limp a little) or how I raised my son alone for 12 years (Women have been doing this since the dawn of time). You don't need to know how I fought (and lost) the flood of '93 or how many bottles of 100 proof Yukon Jack I've killed off while tending bar in a place that makes "Roadhouse" look like "Romper Room."
And you don't know how many times you've heard of me or something I've done outside this forum.
How many countries I've visited or how many times I rode a motorcycle across this country (I swear I think Bob Seager wrote songs about me) does not make me any more or less of a man than any other men who frequent this forum.
But last summer I went to the grocery store to buy pads for my wife. There was a woman at the check-out counter, and a woman behind me in line. I didn't buy anything else.
I'm not sure if this qualifies me as being "Manly," because in all honesty, I did blush.
