My city can beat up your city!! Nashville manliest city -- New York is the girliest!!

My home city of Nashville has been named the manliest city in America by a recent study. The other cities in the top five were Charlotte, N.C., Oklahoma City, Cincinnati and Denver.

New York City finished last out of 50 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas.

Manly criteria included: number of professional major league sports teams, popularity of tools and hardware and frequency of monster truck rallies.

Thoughts?

Hmmm. As a New Yorker, bite me (j/k) :)

In Nashville, the cowboys need clothes. In NYC, the one cowboy we have is so tough, the walks around in his skivvies, even in winter.

The physics are complicated, but one NYC cab driver can take out an entire monster truck rally. All the trucks, then the F150's in the parking lot.

Sports teams? We have enough. We could even lose the Yankees and be fine.

"Manliness" is a subjective quality anyway. I guarantee that if we lined up every man in NYC across a (very, very large) field and every man in Nashville on the other side, and told them to duke it out, NYC would build a new bridge out of the bones of their defeated foes. You can call Nashville "manly" all you want. We don't need a study to tell us we rock. We just do.

(Yes, I'm a NYC fanboy :) )

Bring it on SISSY BOY! Oh yeah, the naked cowboy is so manly...

The very fact that you use him as your prime example of how manly New York is shows that living there has warped you! We have a lot more people walking around with cowboy hats, boots and a guitar in Nashville than there is in New York!! Only our men keep their clothes on (until we ask them to take it off!!)
P.S. I am saying this in jest.

The manliest city in America has to be somewhere where the winter temperature reaches forty below zero. I'd like to see someone from Nashville get up at 5:00 A. M. to shovel their driveway... but oh, wait - you finished shoveling your driveway, you say? Well, by the time you're finished you'll have to start again because it's snowing like nobody's business. And it ain't no picnic out there shoveling. It's cold. Brutally cold. And the snow is all packed down and heavy, and you're wearing twenty pounds of clothing just to stay warm.
And "popularity of tools and hardware" makes a city manly? I can't think of a manlier hardware store than Menards. There isn't even one Menards in Nashville. The majority of Menards locations are in the coldest states: Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
So, I'll say that the manliest city in America is probably International Falls, Minnesota. It has a Menards and it is usually regarded as the coldest city in America (including Alaska).

Living in the cold doesn't make you manly...nor does living in Minnesota (I know, used to live there!!!)

I agree. I mean, you don't see many metrosexual guys in Nashville. I know I have never encountered a guy getting a manicure while there. I think that's a good thing! The city has a very blue collar, authentic vibe that I love. Oh, how I miss it.

Who made up that criteria? The researchers responsible for that study(the Oklahoma football team-study manager?-the kicker) must have poled Buffalo Wild Wings on WWE night during their first annual- "hardware Hank's poster giveaway", featuring life size wall posters of the beautiful androgynous Danica Patrick, sporting a tool belt, and 1 HEMI remote control car raffle prize winner drawn an hour, not to mention- "Roid-cocktail trivia" featuring facts about your favorite American "made" baseball players. Because Ty Cobb would have been proud and would have gallantly appreciated "A-Rod," and 'ol' "Big Mac"... for him to poop on. Hahaha. Just Jokin. But anyway, yeah those 3 things do exemplify common interests of masculinity..in a redneck, sexist kinda way, but my vote goes to my own Minneapolis/St. Paul for all us enduring the Mongolian style winters to the harshest extent, along side our fellow Lumberjack-gened Norwegian-American, manly-man citizens. All this while toting, cheek-chucking, and blasting our firearms for a feast of Venison submarine sandwiches.

I lived in Eagan and Burnsville for a good number of years and grew up about 90 miles southwest of there.

Cleveland came in 19th and demands a recount!!

We hit 4th most dangerous city in America in 2006 so we'd better be manly!

Face it, our guys shovel snow from Oct to Mar (April is not unheard of), we have a river that used to burn which means we know how to deal with mess, we support the Indians, Browns and Cavs year after year after year and we have more plumber's butt!

Metrosexual in northeast Ohio? Oh please....they don't know what it means. Even if they did the economy is so shot waxing and manicures are out of the question!

We do have the Rock Hall, Lebron James and a great sense of humor.

Fun question!

Living in the 4th deadliest city where you have to shovel snow doesn't mean you are manly... just means you're not that smart! (Kidding!)
