Since most things testosterone driven have been unceremoniously vilified by the current "touchy-feely" effeminization of western culture, I have put this in the COUNTERCULTURE forum. Mods may feel free to move it to GENERAL CONVERSATION, should the conversation warrant it.
Here is a website dubbed THE ART OF MANLINESS. It is a pleasant haven for those of us who enjoy reveling in our birthrights as the "unfair" sex. Granted, some of the articles can be a LITTLE bit on the wanky side, but there is a LOT to learn here...Especially for the younger generation of the vaginally-challenged.
I highly recommend subscribing to the e-mail list. They send stuff every couple of days, but the advice is generally sage and practical, if nothing else. I'm assuming that most of you manly bastards on this forum are well endowed with bullshit detection, so you can adequately separate the wheat from the chaff.
I would be interested in what the ladies on this forum think about this site as well.
Man up!

I learned a lot about the proper treatment of the flag as well as how to fold it from the article "How To Fly Old Glory With Respect".
I haven't looked at the rest of the site, though.

William,
I can understand French, as it's my mother tongue. However, it's hard for me to read your blog
Le meaninglessness final des actions de l'homme ne devrait pas lui causer le désespoir. Il devrait être plus déterminé à démontrer comment sien fort-mettra en boîte créent des buts, des valeurs, et la signification pour se
Looks like Google translated this from English. I confirm you that this is hardly understandable even for a French native speaker!

Yes probably true. But I think the problem is also that many girls are not yet turned into ladies... I often goes out with some of my collegues (who're also friends). They're 10 year younger than me and sometimes they behave more as students in "American Pie" than as "gentlmens". And the girls just follow and add more on top of it.
It's maybe hard nowadays to find true gentlemens, but what about true laydies ?

Man up!
Part of healing the sex divide is acknowledging that we all need help and we both deserve equal respect and happiness.
I liked the site...that's not to say I dig a hat or a beard, but overall it's a respectful site that gets my vote.
I don't like the manipulative type - I run into this style of man at work almost everyday - you know the kind that uses "seduction" techs from that retard who wears the top hat? I can smell them a mile away.
I'm monogamous and a total femme so pretty much impossible to seduce unless you're a knight in shining armor (or a dragon)
either or.
I'm a sucker for guys who are naive, focused on performing justice and like to impress girls by doing fancy things. And they have a sincere approach to life in general, honest and know how to fight but also how to be extremely tender when it needs to be done.
The biggest turn off to me is hurting my feelings after I open up my cold-bitch armor!
I also feel like a man, much of the time...when I am in a certain capacity I can certainly "man up" when I need to...I think everybody has two haploids within us so we are both male and female at center.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Don't always assume the hat makes a man a retard, any more than it would make a woman from Tennessee necessarily redneck trailer trash. Just kidding of course... I saw the site.
Manliness comes with practice and it comes with maturity. Any clod can talk the talk, but walking the walk is something you have to observe over a lineal space of time. Most people are on their best behaviors when trying to get a woman and are dating. It's when they AREN'T that counts.
And women who are "looking for a relationship" make of themselves the most vulnerable of victims. Dating to find "MR. RIGHT" is actually detrimental to your long-term happiness, as a goal. You might find MR. RIGHT while on a date, but the litmus tests can't be applied when one's eyes are dazzled with lust or longing.
How does he/she treat people they don't have to be nice to? (Waiters, fast food mongers... strangers who happen to say "hi" as they walk by.)
How dose he hurt your feelings when he has to... canceling an appointment you were looking forward to when there's no other option, admitting to you that your lemon and onion pot pie needs a little work, etc.
How does he relate to his parents, not only when he sees them in front of them, but when he's away from their influence.
Does he badmouth people behind their backs and be friendly and accommodating to their face?
There are a lot of things that foster a sense of manliness in a man that take time to observe. Womanliness is also something that takes time to observe. Pretty much any female can dress the part and put on the role like she does that little black dress and stiletto heels... but being a woman is much more than simply wearing the uniform,
