Ha! I have a co-worker I travel with on occasion and he avoids sitting directly across from me in restaurants. Weird but I don’t take it personally.

Wow, what a list.
Things I’ve done recently (less than a month), some regularly:
1-3,
5 (I think KIA should count?),
6-8, but 8 should be amended adding pasta - a staple of Italian men’s cuisine.
9 (every week home made pizza, last week cake for fika)
11 (I’m the only one in the family who’s able to do a modicum of sewing)
14, 18-21, 28,
29: really? Is this a thing?
31
4, 13, 33, 34, 35: all in the arc of one evening and the morning after, two weeks ago. Admittedly not an easy weekend. Still recovering.
Less recently:
10, 12, 17, 22, 30, 32
36: Years ago, in Italy, I was the first at my job to get “breast-feeding” leave (reduced time). And I’m incompatible with any sport involving a ball.
BUT: I refuse to carry an umbrella. I’m too absent minded, and lost too many from extra-cheap to quite expensive. Same with scarves or hats. Gloves, I manage.
I guess I’m not a real man, then.
Probably a complex man, closer to the imaginary axis.

Hell yeah, at least in my world. I know a lot of proudly macho men who would never sit with their legs crossed “like a woman.”
(The closest they’d ever get is like the guy on the left.)

Pee in the toilet (that’s what showers are for).
Drink water (it’s either black coffee or whiskey).

- Go to the doctor.
- Self reflection.

ETA: Oh! I get a badge also! Feeling extra macho now!
Grrr!

Someone had better tell this chap that he isn’t macho enough, then

If he’d been macho enough, he wouldn’t have needed the umbrella.
(In case of emergency, /s.)

Well you see that’s a gun disguised as an umbrella, so technically a concealed carry and that’s okay

Yes Peel and Steed we’re going to do a photoshoot in Brighton. Now grab that Polar Bear rug and let’s go.

What struck me with this photo is that if the costumes were reversed, she would look just as fantastic in a 3-piece suit and he would look utterly un-sexy-to-the-max in hip-huggers and a crop top.

As at the current list I’m barely 6% Real Man ™.
It could be lower but it’s too late for me to think about being a nurse or barista (not to mention all that standing!), and I’m allergic to nuts so granola’s out.
It doesn’t warrant its own entry (included under #4) but “crying happy tears at the new episode of Dr Who” is a worthy subset.
