...using the words "window treatment".
...using body moisturizer...
...owning an adult dog under 10 lbs...
...using a tanning bed for ANY reason...
...ordering a steak well-done...

[onewhippedpuppy]

Was referring to another man's car as "cute" previously listed?
Driving a New Beetle. Or a Neon.

(and found online)

If your best friend is dumped by a girl it is a 6 month waiting period till she can be touched. If he breaks up with her its a 6 day waiting period.


If another man’s fly is down, you didn’t see anything and may not make a comment about it.

Under no circumstances should two men share an umbrella.

No man may give himself a nickname (such as THE KING). It must be earned, and given to him by others.

Maybe you're just stirring the pot again, but I've never understood why quiche is considered "girlie." It's eggs, cheese and meat cooked in pie form!! How is that not manly?

I gotta agree though I'm sure we'll get hammered. Before you leave the house with one of those things on.............glance at a mirror

Crying in public, unless it's for the death of a parent or the burning down of one's favorite bar/tavern.

How about walking out of the vet after having your dog put down?

Wearing worn out T-shirts? Stained and ripped? Guilty as charged! So what do YOU wear when you work on the car or in the yard?

Tucking in a Hawaiian shirt? Huh? What? That's just crazy talk!



Flirting with your mother in law.

[Porsche-O-Phile]

Yea, I'll give you that one. That's a tough one to stomach. A pet qualifies as a family member (unless it's a hamster or gerbil or something).

[Dan in Pasadena]

A long-standing pet dog qualifies as more than a family member.

Flirting with your mother-in-law? EEEwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I gotta go wash out my mind, yuk!

Minor ManCard Violation? - Wearing the old short "hot pants" era basketball shorts.

Those would be "Nutters" and very foul.

Are we feeling our masculinity is being threatened lately?

Hey Matt!

I think there has to be some sort of guidline. or example, driving a new Beetle , Neon or Miata but not if its theTurbo Miata, the Turbo S Beetle or the SRT-4. Other models of these same cars are a hardcore violation unless they are modified and have no less than an additional 50-75% more HP than stock.....or unless it is the only car available to drive your pregnant wife to the hospital or something!

[craigster59]

Getting a manicure/pedicure
Carrying around a "man-purse" or waist-pouch thing
Before going into a bar saying "Give me a minute guys, I need to brush my hair"
Being seen at a Barry Manilow concert

[craigster59]

Oh, one more thing. "Sans-a-belt" slacks...

[Dan in Pasadena]

Excellent contributions with the belly pack and sansabelt slacks. Actually, these aren't exactly a "man card" violation, they're an "OLD man-card violation". Meaning you might as well hang a sign on yourself saying I've surrendered to beingan irrelevant old duffer, my mind is closed and I don't give a ***** if women in general remotely look at me. To me? They go along with the dark sock/short, Velcro tennies, sandals/socks and tucked in Hawaiian shirt. Sorry, I just turned 52 and am struggling to grow old with some friggin grace!

i guess you guys can have my man card then. i'm so glad 'yall don't actually make the rules...

so, what if i was gay? is that grounds for revocation of my man-status?

Exception granted for SRT-4, Turbo S, MazdaSpeed Miata, or any of the said models with 50% or more HP than stock. Pregnant wives must be carried, preferably slung over the shoulder.

Not being able to change a flat.....................like my Daughters biyfriend.
What a wuss.

If you're gay you never had a man card....or you turned it in.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
