The cultural pendulum is swinging back to manly men. Men ignore cultural pendulums. And the Boston Globe. ;)

Guy's guy?
What happened to "man's man"? I'm all for seeing more of them around. Enough of the girly-men. Yuck.

He may drink beer with his buds at Whiskey's on the weekends, and he may weel be a Red Sox fan, but if he's a personal trainer, he's mostly metro.

I'm glad that I'm finally getting some appreciation. OTOH, most women in my age group are nuts and will probably be behind the curve on this...

The man's man may have seemed MIA in recent yearsWhat a load of dung. The truth is that the "man's man" has been out of town on business. He's hardly been MIA.

He's a personal trainer.
In other words, he likes to look at himself in a mirror.

Aaron Swan is a guy's guy.In Massachusetts that might mean something entirely different.

I see several problems with this "guy's guy"...
He's a personal trainer. He drinks beer with his buds at Whiskey's on the weekends. He's a big Red Sox fan.
While he might get one point for hanging with the dudes at the local watering hole (let's face it, it's not necessarily a good thing...the Sex in the City gals also hung out at a watering hole, drinking "mojitos,") he gets negative points for being a "personal trainer" and zero for being a Sox fan...after all, Jean Francois Kerry also claimed to be a Sox fan...
Here's the clincher, though...
Jack Bauer, who tortures terrorists on the television drama "24," is one of his heroes.
Everyone knows that Chuck Norris can beat Jack Bauer, so he gets zero points for this one!

As for me and my friends, it's refreshing when we run into a "guy's guy." I get so tired of seeing all these metros everyday. I just can't handle men who spend more time and money on their appearance than I do.

I'm in my early 20s, and it seems the majority of ladies in my age group still seem to prefer the metros. It's nice to know there are some out there that have a different attitude.
