Chillygator: I think you need to get in touch with your manly side.

Brozy: I think I might mean "like a good person" when I say "manly." But that would mean good person=man. Hm, I'll have to rethink that one.

acte gratuit: Ah ha, I think we might be making some progress here. So sweaty is the opposite of womanly. Does that mean sweaty=manly?

Gardening makes me feel like a good person. (Clearly, digging holes and pulling weeds directly impact one's morality.) Mowing lawns, however, just makes me a grouchy and sweaty person. The only part that makes me feel more girly is planning flower beds.

It makes me feel manly, which is probably why I don't do it.

But does it make you smell androgynous?

Nah. Yardwork makes me feel androgynous.

Kristeee: I think feeling and smelling are pretty much the same thing.

I've made more trips to Lowe's since moving into this house ...

You the man!

Some days I go to both Home Depot AND Lowes (which are just a couple of blocks apart) - then I feel really manly :)

But, don't ask me to work on cars - yuck, icky - I can't take being THAT manly.

Today it was mowing, but the other day I planted marigolds and felt equally manly. And I've made more trips to Lowe's since moving into this house than I had before in my life.

It depends on exactly what type of yard work you are doing. Planting petunias? Not so manly. Mowing the yard - manly. Mowing with a push mower - macho manly.

Now, even if you're planting petunias - if it involves a trip to Home Depot then you get to punch a hole in your man card. :)
