No. No there aren't. And it's all because of women.

False.

If you look at a picture of someone, you can tell if they're manly or not, even if you've never seen them behave.

Manly.

Not manly.

How about Damian Lewis from Band of Brothers? Granted I haven't seen anything else he's done but he seems promising.

Wrong, because grooming and dress are behaviors. I suppose behaviors affect appearance, and thus appearance can play a role. I'll give you partial credit.

You are completely blind if you can't see the difference.

You can just look at the skeletal structure and be able to tell. There are certain facial features which are signs of masculinity, such as pronounced brow, strong jawline, deep set eyes, strong chin, etc. These are signs of testosterone in development.

You simply cannot get Clay Aiken to look manly. It can't be done. He doesn't have the physique or bone structure for it.

And how did you get dress out of Kirk Douglas's mushot? You can't even see his clothes. You're defending a completely invalid point and making yourself look like a fool in the process.

Masculinity and manliness, while related, are not the same thing. Nor are testosterone linked features. What I'm saying is you can take someone who looks like Kirk Douglas, and they can still act like a woman. Looking manly does by itself equate manliness.

By the same turn, you can take someone like Brad Pitt who appears more of the pretty-boy type, and apply ample muscle cars, breasted women, and meat eating to arrive at manliness.

It's more complicated than appearance is what I'm getting at here.

Yeah, but why would you try? Clay Aiken is a girl.

Because grooming, which you can see in the muGshot, and dress, which you can't, are both related to appearance, which I believe was your original point.
