Manliness??

About 6 cigarettes in 2 hours! My friend told me about this great (to say) achievement of his. My very first reaction was not to believe him, but then later on I did realize that he was actually telling me the truth. I tried not to speak about it to him and even on that day I did not. But unfortunately (or may be fortunately… I am not so sure about it) I couldn’t get this thing out of my mind. I wouldn’t say that smoking is BAD or the guys who do it can be categorized popularly as BAD, but still there is this one thing coz of which I ,or to generalize, people are not very much comfy with FAGGING. In case anyone wants to go and set their very own lungs to fire, she/he has very much a right to do it. The next time I met my friend I did ask him why he did so… the answer I got did shook something within me. He said, I just did it coz I didn’t had any other thing to do… since I don’t drink and as everyone was doing something I took up a fag, lit it and that’s how it proceeded further.

Surprised and shocked by the answer I spent all these days thinking about it. Then there was one time when I discussed this with another friend of mine… and I wasn’t at all taken aback by what he said in a reply. “Come on! It’s pretty usual in guys… I mean… when there are people around you and they make fun… you gotta do something to look manly!” But yeah, I won’t refuse that I didn’t think upon this. In fact, it was this which lead to the chain of thoughts and finally to this blog.

What is this manliness? Is it some kind of feeling or some permanent genetic fault in human males that encourages them to do stupid things and then justify it? What is this force which lets guys do n number of experiments over themselves in order to prove the popularly famous “Theorem of Manliness” to the others that surround them?
No offences meant to anybody, but I am searching for an answer to these questions.
