Sorry if this has been on here before, but it made me laugh! lol
1, OPENING JARS - nnng, she's struggling. You take it from her hands, open it effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn't. Jars are men's work.
2, CALLING SOMEONE 'SON' - Especially policeman but even saying it to kids makes you the man.
3, DOING A PROPER SLIDE TACKLE - Beckham free kicks? Gay. A Stuart Pearce tackle is the pinnacle of the game, simultaneously winning the ball and crippling the man. Magic.
4, SHARPENING A PENCIL WITH A STANLEY KNIFE - Blunt, is it? Hand it here love. No, I don't need a sharpener, you think I can't whittle.
5, GOING TO THE TIP - A manly act which combines driving, lifting and as you thrillingly drop your rubbish into another huge pile of other rubbish. noisy destruction = man.
6, DRINKING UP - Specifically, rising from the table, slinging your coat on and downing two thirds of a pint in one fluid movement. Then nodding towards the door, saying, "Let's go" and striding out while everyone else struggles to catch up with you. God, you're hard.
7, HAVING A THIN BIT OF WOOD - in the shed, solely to stir paint with.
8, HAVING A SCAR - Ideally it'll be a facial knife wound, but even an iron burn on the wrist is good. "Ooh, did it hurt". "Nah".
9, HAVING A HANGOVER AND THICK STUBBLE - When birds have been partying they just whinge. You, on the other hand have physical evidence of your hardness, sprouting from your face. "Big night?" Grrrrr, what does it look like.
10, NODDING AT COPPERS - A moments eye contact is all it takes for you to share the unspoken bond. "We've not seen eye to eye in the past", it says "but someone's got to keep the little scrotes in line".
11, USING POWER TOOLS - slightly more powerful than you need or can safely handle. Pneumatic drilling while smoking a fag? Superb.
12, KICKING A FOOTY AGAINST A GARAGE DOOR - Clang-g-g-g-g-g-! Stitch that becks, I kick so hard I set off car alarms.
13, ARRIVING IN A PUB LATE... and everyone cheers you. It doesn't mean you're popular, it just means your mates are pissed. However, the rest of the pub doesn't know that.
14, NOT WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT - fat is a feminist issue, apparently. Brilliant. Pass the pork scratchings.
15, CARVING THE ROAST - and saying "are you a leg or breast man" to the blokes and "do you want stuffing" to the women. Congratulations, you are now your dad.
16, WINKING - turns women to putty. Doesn't it?
17, TEST SWINGING HAMMERS - ideally, B&Q would have little changing rooms with mirrors so you could see how rugged you look with any DIY item. Until then, we'll make do with the aisles.
18, TAKING OUT £200 FROM A CASHPOINT - okay, so its for paying the plumber later but with that much cash you feel like a mafia don. The only thing better is peeling notes off the roll later.
19, PHONE CALLS THAT LAST LESS THAN A MINUTE - unlike birds, we get straight to the point. "alright? Yep. Drink? Red lion? George, it is then. Seven. See ya."
20, PARALLEL PARKING - bosh, straight in. first time. Can Schumacher do that? No, because his cars got no reverse gear which, technically, makes you the worlds best driver.
21, HAVING EARNED THAT PINT - Since the dawn of time, men have toiled in the fields in blistering heat. Why? So, when it's over we can stand there in silence, surveying our work with one hand resting on the beer gut while the other nurses a foaming jug of ale. Aaaah.
22, HAVING SOMETHING PROPERLY WRONG WITH YOU - especially if you didn't make a fuss. "Why was I off, nothing much, just a brain haemorrhage".
23, KNOWING WHICH SCREWDRIVER IS WHICH - "a Phillips? For that? Are you mad,bint?"
Agreed - Funny Stuff

25: GETTING YOUR FIRST LEATHERMAN. You've seen other blokes with those £5 multi-tools from the market and laughed at their foolishness because you know their cheap imitation will break when subjected to anything more strenuous than cutting tissue paper. You on the other hand, bought a genuine Leatherman brand multi-tool, the multi-tool designed by real men, for real men. You watch old re-runs of MacGyver and can't help but think that he could have done so much more if he'd had a Leatherman, rather than a crappy swiss army knife.
26. Getting a pair of Reef Jandals/Flipflops....
Then sitting on the beach with an icebox full of bottled beer and being the only one to get into them cause there's a bottle opener built into the sole... (the Leathermans made me think of that...)
27. Being able to fix the car, build a brick wall, paint and decorate, fix the washing machine............... nah no problem easy peasy, mark of a real man

But beer is always welcomed.
32. To proudly own up to a rip roaring fart... to hold aloft thine fist as a gesture of victory Sniff in the stench and without a tear in your eye claim...."IT WAS ME!!!!!"
Excellent thread...!
CheekyChimp...... cool
33. Believing you understand the off-side rule, regardless of whether you actually do or don't. And being willing to explain it to any woman daft enough to listen.
34. Wincing in brotherly sympathy every time a batsman gets a direct hit on the box!
35. Never having to read a manual for a new gadget, 'cos you can work it out by pushing buttons at random.
36. Not worrying whether your bum looks big in anything.
37. Worrying whether your tackle looks big in Speedos. After being in the sea. At Bridlington. In February.

I was reading readers 'soft lad' letters in a magazine yesterday, and this one made me proper chuckle: "Me and my bloke had been for a drink, got home and fancied some chips so I put the chip pan on....we got a bit distracted on the sofa then he noticed the smoke and burning smell coming from the kitchen. All of a tiz he grabs the phone, while I quickly got a wet tea towel to place over the pan...and he's running round with the phone in his hand and shouts to me "Quick, what's the number for 999?"
:roll: :roll: Soft Lads!
