DVM OLD SCHOOL MAN

Terrence Steven “Steve” McQueen – March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980

Old School Man.com has officially declared March 24th Steve McQueen Day – a national man Holiday. So break open a bottle of scotch and toss one back in remembrance to the king of all Old School Men.

For those of you that don’t know, Steve McQueen was born this very day back in 1930. He jumped out of the womb fully grown then knocked the doctor out for slapping him on the ass. After that he had sex with all the nurses, fired up a Lucky Strike non-filter and field-stripped a 1911.

Happy B-Day Steve – thank god you aren’t around to see the sorry state of manliness these days.

We look out for our own in these parts

I remember when I was a kid my pops would ask one of his Old School Man friends to check in on us to make sure we were ok whenever he had to go out of town for a few days.

On the surface it seems like a simple request that isn’t really a big deal.

But think about it, my Old School Dad trusted another man with the welfare and safety of his family in his absence. And he had an Old School Man friend that would not only take on that responsibility, he would protect and look out for another mans family like his own.

The “Check in on my Family” tradition amongst Old School Men dates back to the westward expansion of the United States. When an Old School Cowboy or Rancher had to run 300 head of cattle to sale he left the women and youngest boys back on the ranch.

Between the wondering highwaymen and footpads, Indians, the unscrupulous banker who held the ranch note and regular old outlaws – leaving ones family alone was extraordinarily dangerous.

But the Old School Cowboy didn’t have a choice, he had to hit the trail for a few months every year so he could make enough money to feed his family and keep up on the ranch payments.

Let’s Take it outside ~De Niro

At one time when a Man had a problem with another Man they would take it outside and settle it like gentlemen. Whoever was left standing was the winner and neither Man held a grudge, as far as they were concerned their disagreement was now over.

After the fight both Men would shake each others hand and have a beer, for many Old School Men this is how they first met some of their lifelong friends. Back then their wasn’t a more honest way to truly know what another man was made of than slugging it out in an Old School fight.

But now if an Old School Man even suggested to some kuala and coke sipping metrosexual ‘man’ that they take their disagreement outside he is branded “uncivilized” or “low-class”. Or even more likely metro-man will call the police on his pink Motorola razor.

This is just another example of how doing anything masculine these days is considered bad or even criminal.

Helmets are for pussys ~Brando

Besides owing a Forest Green Mustang and a Gas guzzling SUV all Old School Men own a Motorcycle. In fact, it is hard to think about the classic Old School Man without thinking about motorcycles.

James Dean, Peter Fonda, Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen… hell, even Indiana Jones knew how to ride and he isn’t even a real person. And they didn’t ride a motorcycle because it was trendy or they wanted attention. The Old School Man rode a bike because he loved the feeling of freedom that riding a bike gave him.

But like all aspects of being an Old School Man you have to be careful with the way you present yourself. If not you could easily end up looking like a douchebag, or even worse, like a male stripper – and not the type who strips for women.

The Last of the Old School Men

When I was a kid the type of guys I admired were always the Old School tough guys like Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Sean Connery and pretty much all of the fedora wearing dudes from the 1930s to the 1960s.

You know the type I am talking about, hard drinking, Lucky Strike non-filter smoking men that called ladies dames and would punch a guy in the face for looking at his wife.

These old school men would never wear low-rise jeans, drink decaf coffee, drive a compact car or talk about their “feelings”. They had names like “Nick”, “Joe” and “Mike” not Baxter, Williamson, Francis or any of the other last-name for a first-name pansy names people are naming their brats these days.

They never asked a gal for her number, she just gave it to him because he was a real man – and real men don’t beg for the digits. His car was a fast gas guzzling behemoth, he had a scar from WWII and never died in a bed. His hobbies always included power tools, greasy hands and the possibility of dismemberment.

When the sink was stopped up or the fence blew down he fixed it with his bare hands, the very thought of calling someone to “help” him was sacrilegious. After recently re-watching Dirty Harry, Bullitt, The Untouchables and a few 80′s action flicks I have put together 2 lists of my favorite Old School Man traits and habits.

Below is the first list of the Habits of the Old School Man, part 2 coming soon. These aren’t just simple lists, they are the rules for living the Old School Man lifestyle that has been deleted from everyday society and replaced by romantic comedies and political correctness.

Steve McQueen – the quintessential Old School Man

What is an Old School Man?

Think Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Sean Connery, Lee Marvin, James Dean, Peter Fonda, Marlon Brando and all of the guys on the TV show Mad Men.

These are the type of men who drank straight whiskey, smoked cigars in restaurants, played poker in the locker room, cursed and carried a .45. They were the quintessential “Tough Guy” who could fight, hunt, and ride a horse.

They had an 8 cylinder sports car and motorcycle in the garage, and when either broke down never called someone to fix it because as long as he had hands he would fix it his damn self. He never cried about his problems or went to therapy; he sucked it up and did what he had to do.

Ladies loved him because he was a real man who was a provider and protector, the type of man that opened a door for a gal not because she expected it, because he was a gentleman.

Men respected him because of his unquestionable loyalty to his friends, he was the type of man to bail a friend out of jail at 3AM or break him out if no bail was set. He would cover a friends back in combat or the boardroom, and when an Old School man said he would take a bullet for you he wasn’t speaking metaphorically – he would take an actual damn bullet for a friend.

But unfortunately the Old School Man is a dying breed…
