Take up archery. Or rugby. And learn how to field dress a deer or build a cabinet in your spare time.[/quote]
Okay so Since I am a nurse practitioner, read books, play video games, married with 5 kids would not be manly cause I do not have time to hunt, shot a bow or play rugby.
However a guy who is lets say homosexual who happens to play rugby and bow hunts is manly?

So a guy who plays rugby, can hunt deers, build cabinets and in his spare time, cheats on his wife, beats her up, totally ignores his children and is constantly dishonest with his peers is “manly”?
See how ridiculous this can be?[/quote]
Uh, no, this is a non-sequitur - the first three are “manly” traits, the remainder are not, and I never said someone who beats up his wife, ignores his children and is dishonest is “manly”.

If I hire someone to build a house for me is he more manly?

Nope - I never said my list of manly activities was all-inclusive; they were just examples.

But you were talking about doing manly things to be manly, so, pick archery, play ruby…and do lots of other stuff.

If learning history is for personal enjoyment isn’t that entertainment? Also you can read a wealth of history books at a public library for free making it cheap entertainment right? If you aren’t a teacher or aren’t using the lessons of history for anything other than your own self gratification then there is no inherent value in learning history just like there is no inherent value in gaming.
I think sitting around all day reading for entertainment is both lazy and self gratifying. I’m not demonizing the act, but pointing out how reading and gaming are one in the same in this regard.

Right - so what? I picked out some “manly” things for examples, and you started talking nonsense about how apparently my list included as “manly” cheating on your wife, etc. - none of which I made a case for.

Thank you. I don’t do archery, don’t hunt and haven’t skinned a deer.
Well, I’m happy to answer that, but before I do, let me ask you - do you not consider those things “manly”?[/quote]
No I don’t consider these acts in and of themselves manly. Now if a man hunts to put food on the table for his family that is manly. If a man builds his own home to provide shelter for himself/family then yes this is manly and so on and so forth.
I do not think an “act” is inherently manly, but the reasoning behind the act is what makes it manly.
Going to war is not manly, but going to war to fight for the freedom of a persons family/country is manly. The personal sacrifice for others is what makes the act manly in my opinion.
If learning history is for personal enjoyment isn’t that entertainment?[/quote]
Sure it is, it just isn’t cheap and lazy. And no, I don’t mean “cheap” as in “price of”.
Incorrect - reading history (as an example) makes you wiser, it exercises your brain, and yes, there is inherent value in learning history, whether someone recognizes it or not.
Which is precisely why you can major in, for example, history in college, but you can’t major in World of Warcraft.
It isn’t lazy, because reading requires work. It requires imagination. And no, don’t say something as idiotic as the notion that reading and gaming are one and the same. Good grief.

Okay so then you would need to list your manly traits, because the ones you chose of course are what you consider manly.
Learn how to make a clear point because using general examples like you did obviously shows your lack of making that point.
Also learn how to address someone’s question if you want to have a discussion. By deflecting back to justification of your first mistake is really not an effective way to argue.
