True. Nothing says Manly men more than guys trotting around in little shortle-shorts.

Could anyone explain the above sentence, please? (Particulary what is `manly men')

Hi

It seems to me that in your sentence manly is used in it’s normal 'dictionary' meaning.
Manly

Sometimes, informally, I use 'true men'. Smile

What are shortle-shorts? I cannot comment until I know what they are.

Manly men cut their own wood, have a blue-collar job (though this concept is sort of changing), watch football and drink beer with their buddies, etc. (stereotypically).

Right! I'd wonder about the manliness of a man who wore Daisy Dukes.

Some children's lederhosen are as short as Daisy Dukes. I feel sorry for those boys. Very Happy
