First and foremost, welcome.
“Mantivities” were born in a pick-up truck, while Achilles and I were hauling large and heavy things. The word is a fusion of both “Man” and “Activities”. However, the concept is considerably more complicated: Mantivities are activities that Men do. I will resist going into any examples for our first post, for fear that it would give undue attention to a particular Mantivity.
Mantivities have a category rating system. 1 is the lowest Mantivity rating and 5 is the highest, similar to the system for hurricanes. Over the next few weeks, you’ll begin to see Achilles and I writing about particular Mantivities and assigning each a category rating. The number next to each post will only designate chronological order, and not a qualitative score.
We look forward to beginning a new journey with each of you and we hope that all of our readers, male and female, can use this as a guide to becoming more Manly everyday. Once again, thank you, and welcome.

This website should be called “whitemantivities”, “hickwhitemnactivies”, or even “countrywhitemanactivites”.. It really does not reflect what other races feel are “manly” activities.. Funny blog though, I’ll check back for new posts on further incite on the “manly” white man’s activities..

Yes, we recognize the pervasive whiteness of the site, but no other name is as sweet as Mantivities.
And I would argue that #4 transcends race. Thanks for checking us out.

I think Firefighting also transcends racial boundaries, and hockey is coming along!!!
