meaning of "Manly men"

True. Nothing says Manly men more than guys trotting around in little shortle-shorts.

Could anyone explain the above sentence, please? (Particulary what is `manly men’)

Hi

It seems to me that in your sentence manly is used in it’s normal ‘dictionary’ meaning.
Manly

Sometimes, informally, I use ‘true men’. :slight_smile:

What are shortle-shorts? I cannot comment until I know what they are.

Manly men cut their own wood, have a blue-collar job (though this concept is sort of changing), watch football and drink beer with their buddies, etc. (stereotypically).

ahhh… Daisy Dukes.

No, manly men do NOT wear Daisy Dukes. lol

(per the stereotype)

Right! I’d wonder about the manliness of a man who wore Daisy Dukes.

Some children’s lederhosen are as short as Daisy Dukes. I feel sorry for those boys. :smiley:
