Which part of the U.S. has the manliest men?

Folks, since I'm recovered from an infatuation incident happened a little earlier, I'm now reflecting on all the men I infatuated in my life in the U.S, including celeb crushes. I noticed some very interesting fact. First, I realized regardless of their age, occupation or pedigree, they are all predominantly manly. think that's the number one trait I look in a man. Then, guess what, all of them are from east coast. I've lived across the U.S, btw. I'm wondering if this says something about the demographics of U.S.

Does east coast produce many more manly men than other states?

It's not that the East Coast specifically produces some of the manlier men - because there are some very manly lumberack-esque guys in the Midwest, and manly cowboy types in the Southwest - but that the West Coast seems to be a breeding ground for some of the unmanliest human beings on the planet.

exactly, bro. You said what I wanted to say but hesitated to put here. So true about the west coast. that's why I had to leave LA for the good of my partner searching. It's true about Midwest too. I did find a ton of great men in Chicago area, however, I found them close-minded somehow.

San Francisco

never been there but I know how it's like. just giving one example: I met a guy at a pretentious lounge somewhere else, That guy is the head of some kick ass tech company, entertaining a bunch of foreign clients. After a couple drinks, he showed me his underwear that had big a LUST sign on it then told me how he liked a big fat **** in his ass.

true story. I think that sums up pretty much of a lot men in that city.

 

My suggestions would be:

Wyoming: Where the men are men, and the sheep are scared.

Alaska: Cause dealing with moose, black/grizzly bears, and wolves can be a common occurrence. Plus it get f@#king cold. You know it's tough when even Liam Neeson can't make it out alive.

Texas: Partially because of all the rural cattleranchers/farmers, partially because of their cultural stereotypes.

North Dakota: It negative 20 and you've been working the oil rig for the last 18 hours. You better be f@#king many.

Basically, anyone who lives in the West (sans the West Coast). That's just my personal opinion. I suppose on how you define "manly".

Thanks for the great suggestions. I've seen Alaska mentioned not only once as some manly state somewhere. I forgot to say, I found myself only attracted to the manly types who are yuppies. Guess that will eliminate the ones on your list. but nice post, anyways.

 

Manly yuppies, that's something of a contradiction of terms, doncha you think? It's kind of like looking for a bleeding heart Marine DI, or as Robin Williams said "a Volvo with a gun rack". If you go to San Fran, use this moving service: www.beefcakemovers.com/‎

How's that for troll food?

Thanks bro! I know I may sound a lil off the base earlier, I'm sane now. Only true love can cause an emotional roller coaster like that.

 

Also, I'd like to add a little input here. Manly =/ (not equal to) BSD.

The manly men I enjoyed are all very low key and down to earth.

Who agrees that I have great taste?

 

I guess the NE does have the manliest gay guys. Not that pencil jeans and a beanie would qualify manly in most peoples view.
