Could not be easier. Just hold them up and with a firm tone of voice "Darn you socks!". Than throw them away. Socks are too inexpensive to put up with their problems these days.

He probably can't reach. You may have to do it for him or send him to a pro

I don't want to change that aspect of me. I'm content to be a feminine boy.

The list can go on forever.
Bolded part above -- why should men even bother doing that anyway though, when they can always hire a professional to do it? Is a man's manliness, reduced to his mere ability to be a handyman?

I think not accepting that people will do as they do is key here.

Not everybody will act according to your liking, approval or acceptance. These men who are traditionally masculine most likely don't care either way, they're just doing their own thing.

I feel like "man" or "real man" are on the same level as "nice guy" and "hook up" in terms of vagueness.
My thoughts exactly Why pigeonhole all men to fit a single arbitrary gender stereotype?

But what's wrong with either?
"Woo-hooo!" sounds like it could be description of a young guy who sounds like he's happy or cheering across the street, if you mean somthing like, "Yooo-hooooo! I'm here!", it could sound feminine, but maybe more like an old fashioned way to call someone nearby.

I don't think there's anything wrong with either, unless you're in a situation where it'd be a racket.

Men doing pedicures/manicures/makeup and walk like a woman are probably gay or bisexual. You can choose to not date them or be friends with them.

Some men maybe don't know how to fix cars or are lazy and don't want to work on a house. Also as technology gets better we do less as a society. People don't even need to leave their couch anymore to go shoe shopping. This fuels obesity and really stupid stuff like farmville addictions.

As far as men not eating ribs and potatoes, that's a personal food preference issue. If you like men who eat crap then perhaps you should be looking for an obese man at your local McDonald's restaurant. I doubt he cares enough about his appearance to even shower, which should fit in perfectly with your views on "men".

Most meat is bad for you. It causes cancer, it's pumped full of antibiotics and hormones, it is loaded with fat, and it's just plain bland in comparison with the wide assortment of fruits/veggies one can choose from. It seems pretty stupid to not date someone who is concerned with what they eat and wants to be healthy.

P.S. Please don't have any children.
