No idea what the criteria were, but Columbus and Cleveland are apparently getting attention as “manly” cities. Hopefully this wasn’t a poll of just Spike TV watchers …
Here, this article has a better explaination of the methodology.

Apparently our manly occupations bumped us up a couple of spots. I bet salty snacks play a reasonable part in our triumph too.
glad i could help us in the standings. i own 2 motorcycles and a pickup truck, and frequent the hardware store down the road.
It’s the stache.
Haha! Not bad. We jumped up from 7th place last year:

ive been eating combos nonstop since last years poll came out
combos for every meal, combos lunch and brunch and dinner, pizza combos in a bowl w/ marinara sauce for breakfast i call it “combos cereal,” pretzel-cheese combos on top of my chocolate ice cream (also for breakfast)
i think this is why we’ve jumped so high in the rankings
my doctor also suggests its why my blood pressure has doubled
what does he know
he’s from upper arlington (not even in the rankings)
So, where are all these manly men…my single girls read this and said they are MIA!! ha ha…
mt448, they’re married. hahaha
Manly men are probably 20 minutes out side of the city in any direction. Walmart parking lots might be a good place to start looking.
Nitsud: I know, I got one of ‘em. He has a pick-up, four-wheeler, loves to mow, hearts Home Depot, etc… Hey! maybe that is where they need to hang out. Next Happy Hour is at Home Depot, then Lowes!
does your single girls like combos (say yes)
well cleveland is not so happy…

So, the makers of a tube-shaped snack out of which you suck the filling are the authority on manliness.
What’s in the filling? Plenty of saturated fats. Overconsuming saturated fats can lead to heart disease, no? Heart disease can lead to erectile dysfunction. So manly.
I find it ironic that we are also one of the gayest cities!
