By the typical and stupid societal definition of the word manly, he does fit. Not only the visual depiction of it, but also the fact that he goes out and builds his own furniture and a variety of other hobbies. Also, I want him inside of me.
The problem is that this societal definition of the word manly is stupid, because it's limiting to every single person involved and sexist garbage.
I was unaware of this requirement.
Just a personal caveat. Like this dude is the sexiest human being alive in my opinion... Bam. I grew ovaries and they exploded.
He would rail you while gently explaining boat design and sharpening a chisel. Mustache whimsicaly bristling in the breeze of his warm breath. "mmm, I think I've just had an orgasm. Now this is how you properly secure a mooring knot"
Really? I can see why people like Ryan Reynolds and Brad Pitt, but I truly don't see Nick Offerman. Different strokes I guess...
Not only THEIR definition of "manly", strong, skilled, capable, he is also MY definition of manly, Compassionate, Empathetic, introspective, and excited to learn.
That's why I wrote "is said to be manly" and not "is manly". People not only don't realize it's just a character, they also don't questions the stereotype.
