I'd have to disagree with you there: men of all ages do daft things because a) it sounded like fun or b) it seemed like a good idea. That's what we do.
Things that men do infrequently just because we can:
1) run a half/full marathon
2) climb a big mountain
3) climb lots of little mountains (e.g. three peaks)
4) see how fast their car can go
5) see how many slices of pizza they can eat in the Pizza Hut lunchtime buffet
6) pinch an attractive girl's bottom just to see what will happen (their responses are wide and varied in my experience)
7) Turn the volume up on our stereos to see just how loud it can go
8) Climb a tree just to see if you still can
Now, if we didn't do these things do you know what we would be? Do you?
We'd be women.
So if I do those things I'll be a man?
1) No.
2) No.
3) When in the Scouts, yes. Not after.
4) Definitely not.
5) No.
6) In my 20s maybe - otherwise I'm a dirty old man.
7) No way, up loud because I wanna rawk
, not just to see.8. No.
I also: don't like cheap steak (i.e. £6.99 meal deal - yeurgh) and won't have it at any opportunity, can't stand champagne, don't think it is clever to have had many sexual partners and if I have then brag about it, don't like any jewellery on men (wedding ring permitted), don't preen myself. I hate cars and conversations about cars.
Family and home-life are massively important to me, however. So I do: work hard and earn a more-than comfortable living, engage in the highest quality DIY you have ever seen, treat ma be-atch wi' bling, have an open house at all times.
What does that make me?
