NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Who knew? Apparently having too many home furnishing stores like Ikea in your city is a sign of being "unmanly."

At least that's the conclusion of a study released Thursday that ranks "America's Manliest Cities" on criteria such as the number of professional major league sports teams, popularity of tools and hardware, and frequency of monster truck rallies.

Nashville came out on top in the study conducted by Sperling's BestPlaces. Mars Snackfood US and its Combos snack food brand commissioned the study. The ranking is part of the Combos launch of its Ultimate Man Zone Sweepstakes, which awards prize packages to upgrade men's tailgating, grilling, home theater or gaming "zones."

So the beauty magizines may not be Masculating, however does that make it a better place for men to be if there is a high number of women, i would assume, ordering this genre of Magizines? I would think that for a place to be desirable for a man to be there would also have to be a generous women to men ration. So are they saying that the place may be "manly" however they better like the men they are with because that's all they have to chose from? And, what makes Nashville so manly - you have a bunch of guys running around with guitars singing sad sappy songs about how much they miss a girl - hmmm, maybe i just answered my own question there.

I know, I'm to blame for Chicago coming in 46th as I'm a big time crossdresser with more professional skirt suits than the typical professional woman, or even Sarah Palin... I have more than 120 skirt suits! YUM!!!!

Why do you think I moved to Houston? I just knew it'd be 7 places higher than Chicago. Now please excuse me while I go read my wife's Cosmo on the john.

This certainly is a stupid ranking. But based on the threads posted here recently....I'd say this is pretty good karma!
