Ribs and anything with tons of Tobasco sauce are high on the list too.

Am I the only guy who really doesn't like steak? I can eat a filet mignon but that's about all.

People laugh at me, but I can have steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you buy from the grocery store, you need to buy steak that cost at least $6 a pound or you get chewy, hard to eat stuff. But seriously, I can eat pretty much any steak at any time.

Greasy pizza would be in the mix as a guys food as well.

You guys are making me want to go get a steak for lunch.

I'm pretty sure you guys are wrong on this one. Fois Gras is the ultimate guy food. The only debate is whether you like French or American style.

I've said it before, but a life without steak is not a life worth living.

I love steak, pizza, and beer as much as anybody, but does anybody find it troubling that in our modern time manhood is still associated with destructive behavior? Eating fatty food, indulging in mindless pleasures, and irrational aggression are still some of the hallmarks of masculinity. A man who eats right, prefers to solve problems through reason or negotiation rather than aggression, and who would rather read Tolstoy than watch sports is likely to be seen as more feminine.

Why is that? The behaviors we associate with masculinity are actually more descriptive of animal behavior. Perhaps we should begin to think of "manhood" in terms of our relationship with other animals, rather than in terms of making sure we differential ourselves from women.

I also love pot roast, and my favorite sandwiches are roast beef or pastrami.

Consider those the guy alternatives when a steak is not available.

I'm with you Archaea. I'm not a big fan of steak. Didn't grow up eating it, for one. Steak is for the rich.

To me now, it is just a big boring hunk of meat. Who cares.
