Real men can write sex, fuck and ass and don't mask it as s**, f*** and a** on their blog :-)
Don't worry, I am also not a real man enough to do this on my blog :-)
Excellent all 42 is real and truth , i'm recommending this blog post
Wow Manish, that was that was real tough of you say that, hehe ;-)
@Joey -- trying to grow up buddy... :-)
u dnt need to be worried at all..there are still 58 things remaining which u can try out always being a nominal man(?)
do i need to disclose my name?
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This is cool stuff. How about a 43rd - "Real Men Do"?
Seems like you get a lot of comments even though real men don't. What gives?
what a crappy post. clearly not actually thought up and written by a real man.
@ anonymous :way to expose your manhood by being anon.
Cool post, but some things are controversial :D
ummm... that was dumb
Real men don't wine in a manipulative blog, taking an obvious stab at people who have pissed them off by doing little things around their blog!
Actually, real men don't blog.
seems like it's only men that don't fit these specifications that generate the income from this site...interesting...
a.k.a. hypocrisy
actually, real men stopped reading that s*** at number 2.
Love the one about Twittering while getting head. I bet there are poor fuckers that actually do this!
Real Men don't get half of these jokes because they don't blog, or blah, or tweet, or face or whatever all this shit is.
Real men don't read posts like this one! :)
So what that makes all of us here? :D I'm joking! :)
Great post... btw.
Real men! Where are you? According to this article, I am sure you will find nobody)) but honestly speaking quite an interesting reading matter thanks to certain humour so characteristic of the author.
it was good, they just understand real men apparently
I thought this would be a clever and witty post about "Real Men don't stare at other women's asses as they walk by" sort of thing.
But it's instead a very bland version of the aforementioned list and seems to cater more to the teenage audience, seeing as most, if not all the "Real Men dont..."'s seem to deal with some sort of online or tech addiction.
2/10
Real men don't call a list "what real men do" then rant on about "what real men don't do"
real men iron their shirts while wearing them etc.....
real me dont write blogs
How many blahblahblah... blowing in the wind bitch.
Thats B. Dylan's two cents.
real men don't put smiley faces or say hehe after what they say. Cause it's gay.
LOL, very good list!
Well considering I couldn't understand 90% of the blog and website shit, I think that I may be a real man, or it might be compromised by the fact I'm commenting but that is only one of 42
grow a pair is all real men say on blogs!
Real Men don't comment for just the sake of link building. maybe this my contribution!
I'm gay :) hehe
What? I was looking for something funny. What the hell is this crap?! Seriously? I don't understand any of this! His girlfriend left him for a techie business man or some shit like that. This is retarded.
Good luck if you claim to understand girls...
I must agree, my husband is a real man and he doesn't do any of this dorky shit.
If that's so I guess there aren't any real men left:)
Lol, one of 'em was Real men don't comment. Nice, lol.
real men don't know or care about half the shit listed here
THIS is a real man:

Haha I'd have to agree with one of the comments above, real men don't blog, let alone comment. :)
Man, it's a good thing i'm a girl because I read the whole thing, plus the comments. it's a sad, sad day. But to anyone who spends this much time on 42 different things about what "Real Men Do" then more power to him, so all in all, really good job :)
as a girl, i'd say this is really stupid. it's not even egotistical. it's just fake. i was kind of expecting the "real men eat raw eggs for breakfast" "real men haul ass"...not "omg we like totally do not like totally blog because like it's so omg not what a real man does"
Of course theres gotta be assholes bitching about something they dont like. Jeez. If you dont like it, then dont fucking say anything. Dont bitch and moan and look like a total fag. this is what society is now. a bunch tech geeks and internet fags.
You're all idiots! Didn't you read! Real men don't leave COMMENTS! But I'm not leaving a comment I'm leaving a reminder.
#43. Real men don't write 42 conditions under which real men must operate.
whover said real men don't stare at women's asses as they walk by either doesn't know what a real mean is or only knows men that walk by fugly women or has a lot of gay friends
real men dont dont have to stop and look at the girls asses as they walk by. they dont walk b,they stop...only if ur a real man. i didnt comment my chic did.
Real men discuss ideas, average men discuss events, below average men discuss people.
This was perfect to read. I am a real man, not a dog.
Real women think this was really retarded and didn't understand half of what you wrote, much less hate Apple half as much as you obviously do... are you sure this was written by a man? It seems like it was written by a tech geek...
This is ridiculous. Whoever write this knows a hell of a lot about stuff that real men don't do...
Real men come accross this bog of shit by mistake and realise they are real men because they dont even know what a paradigm is or what the fuck techmeme is sounds like some people need to get out more often get a life and get a real fucking job lossers!!
real men do whatever the fuck they want, and don't give a fuck what others think about it...
Real men don't have rules
Real men dont blog. At all. We fish, get drunk, and bust a nut when we see a bad ass car.
Real men aren't afraid to post their real name in case someone they know sees it!
Hahaha! I have to admit.. I was quite disappointed with the "42 Things Real Men Do" or "Don't do" rather. Terribly boring.(With the exception of the "Real men don't twitter while getting a BJ" post... That's hilarious!) But incredibly entertained by the comments. LOL! Love the "Real men dont blog. At all. We fish, get drunk, and bust a nut when we see a bad ass car." A real WOMAN does the same. Let's do a one over on MY perspective of a real woman..
- A REAL woman can be stunning, but doesn't have to wear 6 inch stilettos while grocery shopping or wake up the entire neighborhood when she sees a spider.
- A REAL woman fancies a nice cold beer after work, just as much as her man does. Rather than a Pina Colada, or Sherley Temple.
- A REAL woman doesn't look like a completely different person when you wake up next to her the next morning!
- A REAL woman knows the rules about trying to have a "serious discussion" during the game.
- A REAL woman would rather spend $40 on a 24 of beer, rather then use it to get her nails done.
- A REAL woman doesn't have to call Daddy crying when her man "hurt her feelings".
- A REAL woman is independent, and can take care of herself. Therefore doesn't NEED her man, but rather just enjoys his company.
- And lastly, a REAL woman will be drooling over the same gorgeous car her man is!
Now here's the part that you find out if you're a real man or not.. If you read that and are interested in this kind of woman.. you ARE in fact, a real man!!!
For Taya:
Is it ok for a real man to fall in love with a real womans because of her post? The man you are with is a lucky man indeed!
Soo what do you have against apple? Lol
Yea that was stupid
More like an ugly girl with no class no ass n nothing to offer lol
Real men jack off to porn in front of their wives.
That posts make me feel like a real man. Loved those 42 points which really reflects a real man.
