Real men™ only talk about fishing, baseball and food.
Real men™ arm wrestle for 24 hours straight, no breaks.
Real men™ whack dolphins in the head with an oar.
Real men™ eat raw fish (and seemingly nothing else).
Real men™ try to capture fish 1 1/2 times the size of their boat, and don't give up even though it's seems entirely pointless, because they have to prove themselves or something??

I do really appreciate the sparse, minimalistic style in which Hemingway writes, he clearly mastered it. Not to mention I felt genuine excitement during the more action-filled parts of the book; I never thought I'd care whether a man caught a fish or not.
