HopsGuy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It's big news here in the Queen City (sometimes these jokes are too easy) that Charlotte is the "Manliest City in America". With "Salty Snack Sales" as a metric, the fact that Lance (maker of those awesome peanut butter & cheese crackers) is here was probably the deciding factor. It goes along with Dudefest this weekend, I suppose. Strange that Buffalo is ranked 47th out of 50. Hey, at least the Nickel City placed 2 spots ahead of Habana Norte.

theesir Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think if you look at all the internet tough guys that post in the comments section of the Buffalo News you would find this is indeed the most "virtually manly" city in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical TBD Guy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Half of the hits to Randy Constan's web site (the Peter Pan guy) come from Buffalonians. Do you think this factored into our poor ranking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Something named Lance potentially being a deciding factor in a manliness ranking. Too funny. Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer complains about gay people taking all of our toughest names like Bruce and Lance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopsGuy Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Charlotte... that place conjures up an image of wussy husbands with entitlement wives. So you've been here? My group of friends are mostly dudes with 2-3 kids and are totally afraid of their wives. One guy completely bucks that trend. They're all in awe of him. His wife once had the whole neighborhood over, kids running around going crazy. He was a little late getting back from an afternoon on the course. She simply asked him why he didn't call. His response: "What the f*&k do you want me to do? Call you from the course? I was golfing!" It was pretty great. I don't think those women want their husbands playing with me. I'm a bad influence.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 The criteria for this are so stupid. Basically, if your city has 200 ponderosas and a bunch of Lowe's, you're manly? No wonder that Charlotte--the headquarters for Lowe's--is #1. "The COMBOS® “America’s Manliest Cities” study ranked 50 major metropolitan areas, using criteria that included the number of home improvement stores, steak houses, pickup trucks and motorcycles per capita."
