There are certain things that every guy notices about being a dude. Activities and practices that we are inextricably pulled toward. Maybe it was once taught to us by a father, brother or uncle. Maybe we saw it in a movie and it just made sense. Or maybe it's just stuff we started doing on our own because it felt nice. Some are arbitrary. Some are absolutely necessary. Some are a little in between. But they are still things we are compelled to do. For example, observing the sacredness of the buffer urinal and the essential "test-clicking" of barbeque tongs. These are activities that simply must be done.
But also, don't get too serious about it. Don't go around just doing what other people tell you to do just cause. When random guys start making up stupid rules about what is and isn't manly, things can tip into the ridiculous. That's how you end up with absurd reasons men had their masculinity questioned.
