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.

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).

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!

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.
