Real men don't use umbrellas
Tonight it rained when I headed to campus for my meetings. I like the rain, it cools off a humid day and for some reason puts me in a good mood. The rain reminded me of something, that natural guy reaction to the rain. The shoulder shrug and brisk walk.
What? Yes, the shoulder shrug. The natural reaction for any male when faced with rain. You don't look for an umbrella, you don't run for shelter, you don't put anything over your head. You shrug and crunch up your shoulders, and start a crisp fast walk.
Does the shoulder shrug protect your head from getting wet? No. Does that slight extra crispness in your walk help keep you from getting so wet? No. Why do we do it? Cause running or getting an umbrella is just not cool. So we shrug, and briskly walk across campus. Cause we are real men.
