50 Things That Take Away Man Points
Recently I asked this question online: _______ take(s) away “man” points. Thx, Ur answer will B a blog post. Ready, set, have fun, go!
Below are the responses, hope you enjoy and please add to the list! Thanks to the ladies and gents that participated; your responses were all good (both the serious and humorous)! My favorite was MichaelDPerkins (check his Blog), who said, “Counting down the days until the next Meg Ryan movie… takes away man points.”
Michael, Meg Ryan’s next movie is supposed to be Sleepless Beauty with Ashley Tisdale and will be released in approximately 327 days (2011). I also liked Gina Fuller’s which said, “not being a man of God.” It’s so easy to care what other people think about us, rather than what our Creator thinks!
Here are some posts that will actually increase your man points: The Dad Life, 6 Things That Scare Expecting Dad’s, A Man’s Ultimate Contribution, 50 Things a Real Man Does & Satan’s Sex Ed.

I am impressed. You took the time to look up Meg Ryan info…I hope…
Thanks for the links as well man.
Will Count down with you.
You bet buddy, thanks for the comment! Um, yes I had to Google it…ha
I was going to say driving a scooter, but….
Hahah Herb, not mine! That pic is actually one my blog designer took in Europe. Too funny
Armchair quarterbacking…
Jim, good one. Thanks for the comment
Love this. Cool site. Cool scooter. Totally my type of blog to follow. So I did.
Actually, I tried to. But I can’t find the RSS buton.
hey Duane! Adding it back soon, doing some site work right now, thanks for the comments!
I totally agree with the shaving legs! Men have hairy legs. I don’t want to see your razor burn or stubble. A man with smooth legs is just not a manly man, IMHO.
Since you left mine out, I’ll put it back.
The biggest thing I think takes away “man points” is …
WORRYING ABOUT “MAN POINTS”!!!
I am a man because God made me that way. Nothing else matters!
So true Joe, I think yours came in after the post was finished. Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I don’t worry too much about man points! This was a fun post
I am going to have to agree with the sentiments of shaving your legs. that is not manly in fact you can add tanning to that as well…guys don’t need to go tanning. As well, don’t shave your arms fellas, that is lame as well.
I think you can add to the list watching Glee. You definitely lose man points for that one.
Driving a mini van, listening to Celine Dion, wearing a speedo, calling anything “adorable”, having an aversion to killing spider and/or snakes, having both ears pierced (one is acceptable, but nothing that dangles), drinking anything from a glass with an umbrella in it, owning and wearing a Christmas sweater.
Shaving off that gorgeous, manly, sexy beard that God gave you men to separate the men from the boys and distinguish the men from the women! Deduct serious man points for that!!
I definitely have to disagree with Yochanan. Having a husband unafraid to purchase those feminine products when I can’t go — earns him mega-man points from me!
Calling your wife names when you’re mad at her takes away man points. Get them back by apologizing without her having to mention it.
I counsel men every week who have dealt for years with identity crises brought on by some of the sterotypes found in these comments. I know that this post and the comments are all done in fun, and they ARE funny. But the truth is that these are the kind of lies that the enemy uses to trap men in confusion and to lower their self-esteem. So, men, hold your head high as your scarf floats in the wind while you ride your scooter to see Sleepless Beauty this Christmas (schedule it on your iPad now). Just don’t shave your legs unless you’re going to wear capris.
