Church Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 This hat discussion IS decidedly manly. So what sort of thing would I wear a hat for? Cuz there generally aren't any events in my life that would warrant ANY sort of dressing up. At least not until I get married, and at this rate that'll happen.....

Wear a hat whenever! When you are sleeping, eating, bathing, but NEVER indoors! HOLY CRAP!!! I hadn't even thought of that! I have to learn hat etiquette. And proper hat care.

Lefeux Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Ill admit I wasn't aware of it until I read through Men Only part 1. But it often seems to have manly answers when required (like an entire forum devoted to hats), so I will keep reading and referencing it as needed.

Church Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I love AoM. These last few months its basically been "Churches guide to manly awesomeness" it didn't really change my opinion or anything, but it definitely proved a good resource in my attempt to become a modern manly man. I can't believe I didn't think to look there for my hat-related questions...

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Me with a Fedora See, the problem is not you, or the hat. Look at what Bogey is wearing vs. what the guy in the right is wearing. A shirt and tie with trench coat does not equal a t-shirt and zip up sweater. Also, the hat in the right looks more like a trilby when Bogey has an honest-to-goodness fedora.This hat discussion IS decidedly manly. So what sort of thing would I wear a hat for?

Inside=NO HAT!Tom Landry, with his signature hat, would not wear his hat on the sidelines if he was in a domed stadium.

KillerGriller Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Speaking of AOM, the latest article was about nicknames. So, what are yours and why?Mine are thoroughly unoriginal, usually just derivatives of my last name e.g -"Redneck" (also I come from a small town and now live in the city). On the high school soccer team I was "Adam" for the season because one teammate simply didn't know my name.

Ulsted Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 AoM is great. I have the book they published and have gifted it to many guys I know. In regards to hats, I prefer the old fashioned flat cap.I've been called Red because of my beard.

leadchipmunk Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I am reading up on AoM too. I think it should be called Art of Humanliness. There are not much that isn't well fitted for women as well. There was an article where they (both Brett and Kate McKay) talk about what manliness is and how they use "man" as a form of "mankind" and that their recommendations for what is "manly" is more along the lines of "what both males and females should do to better their lives and those around them". While the site is more focused towards males, they recognize that there is a lot of women read it and they do encourage it. I, of course, am paraphrasing and would link the article, but I don't feel like looking for it right now.Speaking of AOM, the latest article was about nicknames.

Nothing much else has stuckMy first name is Jarret, I get a lot of "Jared?" and "Jerry?" and after a while I get tired of repeating my name, so I tell them to call me Frank. My grandfather calls me Mike because of my middle name. In high school I was known as Hippy because I had hair down to my butt and wore a lot of bright colors (ironically I wasn't a stoner). One time in college I died my beard bright red, so I have one girl who on occasion still calls me Red Beard, sometimes followed by the Pirate. Oh, and there's leadchipmunk, which was just an old gamer tag of mine that I keep for online use.
