Know what you want before man hunt

No, he uses his fancy tools on “projects,” such as installing a flat-screen across from the toilet, or a handy dandy built-in keg cooler in his Barca Lounger so he can show off to other Men Who Measure Their Worth by Their Tools.

New York City, while it does have a high number of bowling alleys, is last on the Top 50 list because there’s not much place there for fishing, home improvement and drag racing. Well, duh. A man who requires a bi-weekly mani-pedi and carries a Man Purse uses the word “drag” in only one context, and it has nothing to do with racing.

Did anyone really think a city where a performance of “Guys and Dolls” is a major tourist attraction and there’s an art gallery on every corner would have lots of gun-toting motorheads in it?

When a New York man refers to his trigger finger, he means the one that points to the half-caf, blended cream, mochaccino at the corner Starbucks.

So now you might think I’m being picky: I don’t want a man who hauls a bloody deer head into the Hair of the Dog Neighborhood Bar and Taxidermist, but I also want to be the one who carries the purse in the family.

Well, yeah.

I’m all about happy mediums.

I say a guy should never be too manly to plug in the vacuum or whip up a dinner quiche; I just don’t want my guy sitting beside me at the salon with foils in his hair.

You might get past the bloody deer head, but a man discussing his guylights with a stylist is an image you can never truly erase.
