Valentine's Day Quiz: Are you dating a manly man?

In honor of Valentine's Day I have created a quiz to help you determine whether or not your boyfriend/fiance/husband is a "manly man". Please count up all of the following instances that apply to your man and tally them up at the end.

  • 50 rounds apiece at the gun range is considered "date night".
  • You have to run a separate load of laundry for camo.
  • A single bar of soap substitutes for shampoo, conditioner, face wash and body wash.
  • "Getting dressed up" means scraping the mud off his boots and wearing a clean T-shirt.
  • You can't sleep at night because the stench of motor oil is overwhelming.
  • You need a boost getting in or out of his truck.
  • There is no room for your shoes in his closet because there are too many weapons.
  • The only things close to decor in his bedroom are his fishing poles leaned against the corner.
  • He randomly sends you pictures of dead animals he has slain.
  • There are fresh beard shavings in the bathroom sink every. single. day.
  • The spare bedroom is no longer the spare bedroom, it is his hunting gear storage room.
  • Most of what you eat, he has killed.
  • There are random animal parts strewn throughout the house: antlers, hooves, skins, etc.
  • His "nice" jeans only have 3 holes in them.
  • He wants a tractor as red as his neck.
  • You have caught him using your table runner as a napkin because that's what he thought it was there for.
  • You know when he pulls up to the house because you can hear the diesel engine running.
  • What are vegetables?
  • You've never had to call a handy man, because he already owns all of the tools and knows how to fix it. 
  • If he can't fix it... it ain't broke.
  • He spends more money on deer urine than his own cologne.
  • Those muscles are from chopping wood or throwing hay, not "hitting the gym".
  • There are permanent grass or grease stains on almost all of his shirts.
  • You occasionally find a spent round in the washing machine.
  • You have to plan special events around hunting seasons.

Ok! Let's get to tallying your scores!

0-4: Well, girlfriend, you are probably the designated spider-squisher in this household, aren't you?
5-14: A nice balance! Plenty of manliness, but he may occasionally "cook" something other than a sandwich. 
15-24: I am not necessarily saying the dating a manly man is the best option, but you, lady, have 
learned to live with it. 
25: If you selected all 25 of these traits then, well, you must be dating James and we need to have a talk. 

Happy Valentine's day, James. I never in a million years thought I would date a man who I would also catch wiping his face on my table linens, but alas, here we are, 6 1/2 years later. Thank you for teaching me so much about your world, and for bringing me all of your dead animals.
