There's no doubt that there are certain features inextricably linked to being a man. And many of those society fully accepts. Things like enjoying a nice beer, not having a complex skin care routine, and refusing to ask for directions or assistance at the paint store are all things that most men would agree are, for better or worse, right up our alley. Then there's the dudes who take so much pride in their own self conception of manliness that things get a little weird.
There's a type of dude out there who is more than willing to believe that things like wearing a motorcycle helmet, wiping your ass, and greeting people with anything more than a grunt is attack on not only your own masculinity, but theirs by association. But a lot of these are completely arbitrary. And honestly, if you lived by all of these random-ass man codes, you'd smell like garbage, "live" on a diet of Coors light and nails, have three fingers, debilitating skin cancer, and ironically, never get laid. If you tried to live up to every moron's standards of what a man should be, you would die, dude.
So let's abide by one of the manliest codes of all and not care about what other people think.
