In a HS football game I dislocated my right ring finger by getting it caught in the face mask of an opposing player. After the play I noticed that my finger was bent sideways at the second joint from the tip at a nearly 90 degree angle so that it flopped limply across my pinky. As I trotted toward the sideline waving my hand to get the coaches attention I heard a collective groan of disgust emanate from the bleachers at the sight of my hand. The coach popped my finger back into place, taped me up, and sent me back in to play defense (I played both offensive guard and defensive nose guard that game). I then proceeded to stop a run at the line and sack the quarterback on two consecutive plays. Total time out for a mangled finger = two plays. To this day that knuckle is still thicker than the rest.
 
I drove a bus through the gay pride parade and intentionally only ran over college students under 30 who were dressed up like My Little Pony...😛

Not only was I not charged, the mayor gave me a medal for doing my civic duty...but I couldn't accept because I don't own a Civic.
 
helped out a stranger that was getting jumped? i was pretty drunk though, and probably lucky that i didn't get my ass beat as well...

I can weld. I own a tractor and chainsaw and use both regularly. I am a pretty good shot with my handgun, shotgun, and rifles and have my CCW. I like to collect knives and have a bit of a tool fetish. I can spend all day putting up hay or firewood. I reroofed and resided my house. I built my deck and 400 sqft greenhouse. I'm stronger than my 6' 15 year old son (who is pretty strong.) I've had a couple fillings done with no pain medication.

That's a good man. I can do most of that (Except the tool fetish), have raised my son's to be good men, run into burning buildings when the rats and cockroach's are running out to search for victims, and have defibrillated countless folks hearts back into a viable rhythm....

I once beat the hell out of a dude that was beating his wife.... and if you're out there reading this, pal - I'll beat the shit out of you again....
 
I'm a woman and I was with male friends and they were all scared of a cockroach!!!
The manliest thing i've done is to grab it and put it outside! WOOHOO!!!
 
I was wondering how long it'd be before Neckbeard brought up bisexuality...it happens in just about every thread...

NO, gay sex isn't manly...doesn't matter if you're pitching or receiving...it's not a manly thing. If you're poking some bitch in the ass...that's not really manly either.
 
Stood up and gave up my seat (public transport) to the elders/women/children in several occations. Not manly, just the right thing to do (such as open door, pull out chair, etc.).

I'm trying to raise my son to be a good man, but I am not the father. I'm the mother. 😀
