I dont know...to me, this article seems like something a lazy dude would produce.
To me, this is not an issue of being a man, it's simply a matter of who wants to apply energy and to where. Some dudes dont see importance in looking clean and well kept. Other's do, and that's why they take the time to do their things.
If you look, clean, built and generally well put together, I dont care if you look like less of a "man", you are more of a person because you give a shit. That's not to say you have to overdo any of these things to demonstrate this, but if you trying to look tip top day in and day out, good for you.
This is just an article to give the lazy fat guys, the dudes we know as 'men' justification for being how they are. I garuntee you if these lazy men had the taste of the women better prepared dudes get, the'd be taking cock up the ass so fast just to get a douse of a gay to compete.
Being a man is all in the head. It's all about your attitude. This can be accomplished regardless of what you look like on the outside.
