For everyone's references, the OP asks what's cool about manhood. A guy is a colloquial term for men and women, it's becoming gender neutral.

I was looking up Generalizations v. Stereotypes and my computer crashed, so I'll keep this short. Generalization is born out of empirical analysis and it's often helpful, it does not need to be judged by its literal truth-value. So all the good things that we can talk about manhood doesn't monopolize those said great human qualities, plus eliminating vocabulary with mankind's history behind would be a sad thing and if we did that, that wouldn't be a human progress.

The way I see it, if we keep talking about great super awesome men's traditional qualities, there won't be anything left that distinguishes between manhood and womanhood (because we've been always cooler!!). Men from the same hood should be able to jest each other just about anything, even the ones that women mock about manhood, including stuff that they call stupidity. Something separates boys from men, but that's not on the agenda here. Boyish stupidity should be intact in every man, that's just my opinion.

So, I keep my promise, this is a lot shorter version than original draft that's gone by now, and I'll leave you true gentlemen with a question.

How about that 'bros before h-h-h-women'?

ETA: You guys drive a motor vehicle better, you fix something, there's your bragging right! If things don't get appreciated, that's not your problem, man. Well, whoever drives stick shift knows about how manual trasmission works so you can scratch that. There was this girl who I'd never seen at a repair shop for boots and bags and stuff, I was expecting to see a guy, my usual guy wasn't there. It was a little awkward moment, and yeah, she missed something I remember that!

You've been "driving your stick" too much...as in engaging in mental masturbation. While I agree with your primary point, you seem consumed with impressing yourself with excessive verbal diarrhea. Better stop that mental masturbation or you'll go blind.

Mother told me I'd be an adult when I became like her. Of course that never happenned. I have ceased contact with her because she has bevaviors that would be expected from persons with antisocial personalities, such as psychopaths, sociopaths, etcetra. Now I'm asking what manhood really is. Wolf whistling after pretty women is not my thing. The beauty I look for is the inner beauty. And women do have brains....at least some of them do. But what is this thing about manhood that is so COOL? Just wondering. I'll block anybody that gives me stupidity as an answer. My childhood was pretty abnormal after all. Thanks for reading and responding.
I think manhood is a word that belongs to men, and only men can define its meanings. Dictionaries are for everyone of course, so they have watered down version of definitions. I respect the work though. So your mother, my mother, any other women in the world can have opinions about the word manhood, I would think they are always wrong.

That's clearly an insult, but it never works for me. So to save moderators from wasting time, I'll let this slide for this one time. And I really don't mind since I'm not offended at all, besides I haven't read your posts much, I'm looking forward to it though. I'm a guy with set of balls, that's manhood right there. I ain't sucking or licking none of your body parts, you take care of yours and keep masturbating if that's what you're into. If I go blind, I'll still be a better man than myself.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
