It’s eye-opening to see that “manliness” was measured by responses to questions like “how often do you cry?” but also everyday habits like exercising. It’s surprising that even decades later, the guys who scored higher on the “manliness” scale are less likely to report or admit they have conditions like hypertension or high cholesterol, even when it’s right there in the test results. Kind of makes you think about how these patterns are so deeply ingrained, we might not even realize they’re impacting us like this.
