The Art of being a Man (Part 1)

A Listmania! list by Nicolas "The Cinephile" (Manhattan, NYC)
The list author says: "The Art of Being a Man

Part 1- Tools and Accessories
Part 2- Movies (Philosophy)

First step to being a man is looking like one. It may seem easy and carefree to the common eye, but is actually a discipline. Some men are lazy and it shows. These aren't real men, therefore they represent no challenge to true men.

After you look like a man, you'll need the proper accessories and items. This list will give you a very basic idea, but should not be considered the end all.

The second list will concentrate on Philosophy of being a man. Since books are great, but time consuming. we're going to learn the philosophy the fun a modern way(and being a man is also about being modern): through movies.

Enjoy the lists."
