was going to post some links, but my phone is being stupid. the website is theartofmanliness.com I ran across it a few months ago when I was first interested in piping because they had an, article about how to start smoking a pipe. I have since started browsing it about twice a month and there have Bev several articles I thought would appeal to this community. go to the man's life section and read the 4 pay series on integrity, and also read the article on the hone page entitled "what e'er thy art, act well thy part". both very thought provoking. thought I would share, hope u enjoy

I go to the site daily. Everything on it is fantastic, should be mandatory reading for all boys and men. Trust metal militia, you will not be dissapointed
I just wanted to put the word out there. oftentimes others say it better than we can say ourselves.

Really? I just looked at the site. There's an article on surviving an overhead chair or barstool attack. This could be a hoot.
In my opinion, we need more reminders of our 'manliness'. I've mentioned it before, but it's a big pet peeve of mine how men are being infantilised and ridiculed constantly in media and culture nowadays. I never had any strong male influences growing up, so I feel I missed out on a lot.
Time to 'man up' again Boyos! I may work in my shop and not bathe today, just because I can.

There was a really talented "blues shouter" stage named Screaming Jay Hawkins who, after he died, was
the subject of research trying to figure out exactly how many love children he had. They had to be careful
to authenticate this as best they could because many women who had consorted with him, and many who
hadn't, wanted credit for having his children. I think the number of authenticated progeny was around
eighty-nine. What's the relevance to this manliness website? I suppose it is that being expansively male
and masculine in ones life, and manliness, and (as Jud mentions) being a good person may be different.
Being human in the Twenty-first Century, male or female, has some complexity. Screamin' Jay wanted to
sing opera and had the voice for it, and was a spectacular piano player, and showman, and apparently
seducer.

Yep, I've been frequenting the site for years. Great resource and a reminder about how many men have become wussified.

It is a great site, definitely sign up for the emails.
Its not all about being "manly" in the macho sense. Tons of good stuff. For a great article, read the one on tampons. Amazing how many uses they have in a survival kind of situation. :D

I don't go there often, but I think it's a pretty cool site.
Coincidentally, I actually used it this weekend for a refresher on how to tie a bow tie.
