What a load of dung. The truth is that the "man's man" has been out of town on business. He's hardly been MIA.

Metrosexuals may have had their 15 minutes of fame. The cultural pendulum is swinging back to manly men.
Aaron Swan is a 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.
Jack Bauer, who tortures terrorists on the television drama "24," is one of his heroes.
Why?
"He doesn't really follow the rules. He doesn't have time for the petty stuff," says Swan, 23. "Jack Bauer does whatever he has to do to get the job done."
The man's man may have seemed MIA in recent years, overshadowed by the popularity of those polished, waxed and groomed men known as metrosexuals.
But our culture is shifting its spotlight back to the guy's guy, the everyday men who wear work boots, change their own oil, get their hair cut at barbershops and wouldn't have the faintest idea where to get a pedicure or mud mask.

Time to butch back up dudes.

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...

dude's dude
In Massachusetts that might mean something entirely different.
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!

Interesting typo.

I'm used to being thanked for "it".
