The Art Of Manliness is aight when the topics are practical things like how to trim your mustache or how to make jerky or how to tie a tie; obnoxious when it editorializes about the pussification of the American male. overall it comes across as the Boy Scout handbook for self-conscious men's rights activists who wish they'd been born in 1880.

I think that 175 can work for some guys. Depends on how it's said and by whom imo. The suggestion that it'll make "her melt everytime" is lol though. The rest of these are just ridiculous.

no. 200: "let her know there's a private world that you and her share that is chock-full of acrimony and bitterness"
All I'm saying is that the tone you were seeing in the initial ones you posted seemed like they were reaching for the worst possible interpretation; out of context from some of the later ones, I don't think they are terrible pieces of advice, but taken as a whole I totally agree with you.

i can't be surprised about men creating exclusionary spaces in order to indulge freely in manly things, i'm just surprised about self-insulated and apparently fearful this is. unless i'm wildly misunderstanding how pinterest works, the content you view is largely self-determined. is the pinterest brand SO female-aligned that men think that every post is cupcake recipes and window treatments and nail art?
