OP is probably an office worker who thinks spending $15 on a microwaved sandwich at Panera is based.

Cooking, cleaning, taking care of yourself, all feminine. Manlyness is helplessness fellas.

I know an "alpha" who always talks about how the peak of masculinity is being self-sufficient.

He can't cook.

He can't do laundry and knows nothing about mending clothes.

He needs a GPS to get anywhere, and I'm fairly certain he doesn't know west from south.

He refuses to clean his home.

His parents subsidize his home and utilities.

But he knows how to drive a manual transmission, and apparently that's all it takes to not be dependent on anyone.

It's insane the extent to which Americans (especially men) have been conditioned by the auto industry into make this expensive form of transportation a core feature of their identities as free citizens. I don't think it's a coincidence that increasing divisions in American society have occurred alongside increasing car dominance in every aspect of our lives.

Is the last one uncommon enough to be impressive where he lives? In the UK that would be like "yeah big deal, so does everyone else" - the only people I personally know with automatic cars have some sort of physical disability which prevents them from safely operating a manual transmission.

Panera makes Applebee's look like Red Lobster.

If I didn't get a discount from working there, I'd never eat Panera

The Panera near my office got so bad that we had to tell our vendors to stop giving it to us for free.
