MEN BREAKING THE HABIT

***FIVE MANLY THINGS GUYS USED TO DO***

Guys, we've come a long way in the last 50 years, and we've broken a lot of bad habits. But maybe some of those habits SHOULDN'T have been broken. Here are five manly things guys USED to do, but don't do anymore . . .

1.) DRINKING LIKE A MAN. Men used to order things like single malt Scotch, Irish whisky, and bourbon. A guy knew his drink, and he got it with a splash of soda or a few cubes of ice. These days, men drink like cast members on "Sex and the City".

2.) GETTING A SHAVE. Guys, when was the last time you had someone ELSE shave your face? It used to be common. But now, every time an extra blade is added to the newest Gillette razor, getting a professional shave becomes less and less necessary.

3.) BEING A HANDYMAN. Years ago, it didn't matter what a guy's job was . . . on Sunday, he was a handyman . . . and he could fix almost anything. But for most men today, the first step for fixing a leaky faucet is to call a plumber.

4.) HAVING A *REAL* GUYS NIGHT OUT. Young guys think it means doing keg stands all night. But it used to be men of ANY age could make a reservation at the Chop House, have a classy dinner with the crew, then see where the night took them.

5.) FIGHTING FAIR. We're not endorsing fighting. But at least when men USED to fight, they fought fair. Two guys would square off in a parking lot, and they didn't have to worry about anyone else ganging up on them. -But today, if you shove a guy at a bar, you can count on a beat down from six or seven of his buddies.
