3. Cry In Front Of Your Girl (But Don't Make A Habit Out Of It)
Real men are comfortable with themselves so one of the manliest things you can do is show a sensitive side in front of your lady. There is a time and place for alpha dog levels of masculinity but every now and then you should show your girl you're not made of stone. We're not talking I'm-proud-of-my-tears-levels of crying mind you (because no one really likes a cry-baby) but pop your favourite macho DVD in, sit back with the missus and let the tears roll down your face as Arnie gets lowered into a vat of molten lava. Your girl will be thinking 'what a guy' and then she'll (hopefully) give you the 'good' loving later.
2. Blow Something Up
Gunpowder. Grenades. C4. Fireworks. Michael Bay. Admit it, you've getting a little excited thinking about all those (well, maybe not Michael Bay). The reason? There is nothing more manly than turning some arbitrary object into a Jackson Pollock painting. Since the big bang first brought life to the universe, man has been seeking out new ways to blow sh*t up for one reason; it's damn good fun. Please note; if you work in a job that requires you to blow stuff up then you're very lucky. If you don't, this one is best left off any bucket list.
1. Be More Like Werner Herzog
Being more like German filmmaker Werner Herzog is the manliest thing you can do in life. Herzog keeps his word and doesn't break it for anything or anyone, no matter what. He once made a bet with a fellow filmmaker and lost. The forfeit? Eat his own shoe. Did he back out? Hell no. He kept his word and boiled that shoe for five hours with garlic, herbs and stock and ate every last piece. Why? Because he's a man...and possibly a little nuts. Herzog doesn't panic and doesn't like making a fuss. When giving an interview to the BBC, promoting his documentary Grizzly Man, someone shot him. With a gun. In the stomach. Did he scream for help? Did he cry for an ambulance? No. He just held his hand over the bleeding wound and insisted on finishing the interview. Why? Because he's a man...and more than possibly bat-sh*t crazy. So bring a lot more 'man' to your life and be more like Werner. That's the list finished. We hope you enjoyed it.
