American Psychological Association's journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity. Hmmm...I thought they didn't care and only studied women in academia. Perhaps we're clawing our way back to relevance, lads.

[Pharmboy]

A manly ping...

For years, experts have said that the strong, silent male is not one to ask for help when he's hurt, and therefore at a disadvantage when it comes to getting better. But new research says this might not be completely accurate.

We need a better class of experts...

We just don't endlessly whine about it.

The tenets of traditional masculinity have been said to include the ability to withstand hardship, 'stick-to-it-iveness' and the willingness to see something through to the end, according to the study.

Gee, guess which qualities pay off during rehab?

Don't show that picture to General Pace, OK?

Hello... experts? Darwin? Remember him?

[Killborn]

Experts. Is there anything they actually know?

[Hatteras]

What is this "injury" thing I keep hearing about?

[Hatteras]

Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.

I didn't know there were any manly men alive any more..I thought there were only girlie boys left in the world..at least the news talks more about girlie boys..

[Graymatter]

This I knew. What I still don't know is, can you bottle it, and if so, how much for a case of it?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Snort. I was going to challenge you to a fistfight or a duel but with a name like that you're either a big sissy or a girl! ;^)

[Beth528]

I am a woman, you pick the spot and I will be there for the fist fight...LOL!

[SampleMan]

"Suck it up."
"Shake it off."
"Get over it."

There's a lot to be said for the power of the mind.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

I'd never tussle with a Lady, Miss. Us real men, we defend and protect Ladies!

[Vision]

Tens of thousands of dollars to study the obvious.

The ridiculous vanity of higher education.

[Beth528]

I would never have a fist fight..ladies don't do things like that..They let their manly men take care of it..Good to see there is a manly man around still..You know I am just kidding about this what i meant in my first comment is all the news reports on any more is Fags or someone coming out of the closet..or Steve not being able to marry Steve...
