Clint Eastwood is from San Francisco. Enough said. Oh, look I see you're from Dallas. Dallas = cowboys. Cowboys = Brokeback Mountian. I guess Dallas ain't very manly! (well, i guess it depends on what kind of "manliness" you're looking for ) Oh yeah, Dallas also = a soap opera. Definitely not manly.

Columbia, South Carolina looks to have a high percent of both people in military barracks and firemen. (As they go by gender on lists) Both those groups can be tough.

Laredo, Texas has a good many men in mining, truck transportation, and maintenance. Those are seen as "blue collar" or "manly."

I agree. Charlotte breeds some big ol country boys. I'll never forget when my Garner Senior high school football team went an entire season undefeated. That's until we met up with Independence High for the state championship. Let me tell you not only did we get zipped, but many of our players came back with casts and bandages.

My cousin's fiance' is from right outside of Charlotte. The guy is a backwoods, old fashioned, country neanderthal, who's big as a house. He brags about his favorite thing to do back home is go cow tipping. He talks like a big old redneck from 30 years ago, but he's a 22 year old black guy.

Haha how is San Diego tough?? Yeah, they may have Marine training there, but a lot of guys in San Diego pop their collars on their pink polo shirts and worry about their tan. It's a beautiful city, hardly "tough" though.

In terms of American cities... probably San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Where the heck is "San Fran?" Is it somewhere near Dall or Hous? Or is it closer to Seatt?

I remember as a teenager going out to the farms at night and cow tipping. It was good clean fun.
