What makes YOU feel like a man?

Its a pretty straight forward question.

What makes you say "yeah, I feel like like man today"

Could be:
Waking up, putting on your combat boots and getting ready for a hostle day in a foreign land.
Sitting with your friends drinking a fine bourbon with a good cigar
Eating potatoe chips, drinking a beer and watching the big game

As for myself, waking up to the sound of cranes and helicopters as I step out onto the rig floor with the smell of the sea air all around me. ***sniiiiiffffff*** oh yeah.

So men of ATS......What makes you feel like a man?




ETA: feel free to post more than one thing.

What makes me feel like a real man is:

Being the first one to reply to a post

Hahaha. nice one.
Yeah I have to admit that one too.
I think the majority of people do alittle internal victory dance for having "Firsties"

Providing for my family.

Conquering a distant mountain peak.

White water, kayaking, asserting my dominance over nature while respecting it at the same time.

Having the endurance of an Olympian.

Sticking to my convictions and morals, being true to myself, not worrying about what others think is "manly."

Also peeing while standing up!

The huge sausage I have hanging between my legs.

i dont know why i replied to this

That just makes you male. Not a "man".

Better watch out; the girls are plotting to take over that one for themselves.

With all the intellectual conversations we've had on this site, the above couple of replies are the complete opposite.

And that, my friend is what BTS is all about; chilling out and giving our brains a break for a little while.

If you don't like it, stay over on the ATS side.

Medically speaking, I suppose that it is my gonads that make me feel like a man.

Psychologically, it's probably when I beat women.

I think I truly feel like a man when I'm chopping Onions!

Nah, I'm not.

Cuz secretly, they like it.

what really makes me feel like a man is chopping wood with an ax, or using a chainsaw-yee-haa

A little target practice with the bow...after a pot of coffee (prepping for hunting season)!

Kissing my wife good-bye as she heads out to work...and reminding my daughters to come strait home after school so they can get their rooms cleaned!

A quick trip to the convenience store in my gas guzzling 4 x 4 for a pack of smokes (kicking the 4 wheel drive on although there is only 1 inch of snow on the ground)!

Writing out a check for the mortgage...and balancing the checkbook...deciding if I should buy a new grill or not!

Everyone is gone...I am home alone...so passing a little gas on the couch without holding back!

Getting all my paperwork together so my day is fruitful...and things run smooth (got to collect a paycheck)!

All these make me feel like a man... to manhood!

Come on.



A real man tries to hold them in til someone is around to fart at.

Nothing beats spinning your tires from a stop sign in your '85 camaro with the top down listening to "Rock you like a Huricane".

If thats not manly, I dont know what is.
