Nashville Tennessee, the Manliest City in the US...How Does Your City Rate?
Nashville is the Best Place for Manly Men
Some of the criteria for "manliness" for which Nashville came in first are:
*the number of Nascar fans
*the number of licensed motorcycle owners and drivers
*the number of barbecue restaurants, sports bars, chicken wing and steak houses.
*the number of Home Depots, Lowe's building supply stores, tool stores and
hardware stores
*major interests in hunting and fishing
*major interest in monster cars and drag racing
*more pick up trucks, American made automobiles in proportion to foreign cars and
mini- vans
*low concentration of sushi bars, coffee shops, home décor stores and trendy male
stores

or keg beer

Post a CommentHey, all those country singers there? Not a surprise Nashville is the "manliest!" And Philly seems to have come in a respectable No. 30!
Used to go to Nashville all of the time.
Very fun article ... thanks!
Surprised to see San Fransisco made the list.
Interesting article -- I have to admit I am kinda happy that Raleigh didn't make the list!
Fun read - glad to see the Big Apple is last - we turned in our Harley's for the subway.
I grew up outside of Oklahoma City, OK but live in Louisiana now. Cowboy culture had me riding horses by age 5... so yeah, they are tough!
Fun read! I'm between Cincy and Indy so I guess my chances of being manly by these stadards are high, Guess I'm old school though, like believing being a man means honesty, integrity, willing to admit mistakes, providing for your children etc.
Love this Memmay. I had no clue. I live with, counting my felines, 5 females. I am the lone male, so our home might be the most feminine in the city...and you know what, I wouldn't trade places with anyone in the world! LOL
I am not surprised Boston was 38! Way too much green tea and lemon grass filled glasses being clinked there these days! This was a really neat article! :)
