In case you’re visiting Italy anytime soon, I thought I’d give you a few tips for those that get a bit intimidated at the level of testosterone in the air in Italy. You, too, can be more macho, even at home. And who better to give you advice than Italians themselves? (Note: you must click through to the site to see videos for 4 & 5)
Top 5 Ways to Be More More Macho in Italy
5. Grow Your Eyebrows Out
4. Drive a Small Car or, better yet A Hamburger Car (which says “Size Counts”)
3. Ride a white horse with a long beautiful tail (No one will call you a “prince”)
4. Dress Like a Woman
5. Dance with other Men (dressed like women)
Armed with these tips, you’ll blend in effortlessly and emanating testosterone like the best of them!!
This Top 5 was brought to you by the letters M and I and is part of the Top 5 Group Writing Project!

hi saw you on sognatrice blog..
good list! here is one more: give directions to strangers even if you have NO IDEA which is the right way to go.
That hamburger car is a riot!
Are you trying to tell me Italian men don’t wax their brows to perfection like the guys in L.A. do? shocking!
That is pretty funny - especially the hamburger car—that is HOT! ;)
I may never wax my eyebrows again. Brilliant top 5.
I like Machisimo so much, I think the tougher sex should get in on the act too.
# 4 and 5 are my favorites, but the eye brown thing really catches :-) .
Drive a smaller car like Mr.Bean is not macho, its dummy ;)
I’m glad you guys are enjoying the list - it was of course done with a little irony :) I think that Italian men are actually very comfortable with their sexuality - I never have to worry about getting my DH to hold my purse!!
Add your own “machismo”!!!
HAHA! So the next time I visit Italy I know what to do now.
Good write up for the group project blogging.
If I get a chance to visit Italy I will be contacting you to ask the latest trends…Very cool
i drive a hamburger car and own several white horses…guess i’m on the right track! very funny top 5. your blog made me hungry.
I never knew being macho in italy was so simple!
Looks like all I need are some fake eyebrows, a new car, a white horse and some womens clothes and I’m set :P
Good post!
Owhhh…
no 1 - the hairier the better??
no 2 - the only place where I heard we should be driving smaller car :)
n0 3-Because the car is small so you need the pony? ermmm
Oh, the eyebrows are classic! I grew up in Rhode Island, which has a large Italian population, and those eyebrows are quite familiar to me! How about unbottoned shirts with gold chains nestled in tufts of chest hair? Any of those? ;)
humorous post… good thing I have bushy eyebrows.
my travel related post is up at my site too if you’re interested
I want a hamburger car, too. But will Italians actually eat a TRIPLE Whopper? That’s the true test of macho, no?
I’m a macho irishmen, but if I’m ever in Italy, at least I’ll know how to act. I always wondered about those Italians. It’s been all downhill since the fall of the Roman Empire. LOL.
