4) Clay Pidgeon shooting - It's the one I do. I'm comically bad at golf, so it will give you something to show your skills. You can learn how to shoot well, with golf I'm convinced you can't be taught it.

To be macho, you need to come to the aid of someone on distress in a physical way. Maybe punch a guy robbing some foreigner on the underground.

Erm, how about meeting your partner, falling in love, going through good and bad times and sticking it out whatever might happen?

The idea being... when an old friend gets in touch and asks: "So what have you been up to lately?" - I respond with a list of ridiculously macho activities. I need some help compiling a list. Here are my initial thoughts...
1) Kickboxing
2) Quad-bike / motorbike riding
3) Hunting crows/pigeons with a shotgun/airgun
4) Clay pigeon shooting
5) Wrestling/Judo/JuJitsu
6) Weightlifting/gym
7) Binge-drinking
8) Eating lots of steak
9) Getting a short "functional" haircut
10) Growing a beard
11) 5hagging a lot of (freely consenting adult) women
Have you any ideas?

Not many of those seem particularly macho to me
You should cut your own verruca out with a stanley knife like I did last night. Then when it started pissing blood all over the place i said "I ain't got time to bleed" and it stopped.

Why don't you and your mate spend the summer herding sheep in Wyoming. It'll help you both find out who you really are.
