How chosen: Sports, manly lifestyle, concentration of manly retail stores, manly occupations, Board of Manliness* rankings, salty snack sales.
”Cities also lost points for an overabundance of emasculating criteria – factors that reduced a city’s manliness rating. These factors included the number of home furnishing and décor stores, cafés/coffee shops, sushi restaurants, ‘modern’ male apparel stores and cupcake shops.”
*Board included actor and former bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno, former professional wrestler Sgt. Slaughter, baseball hall of famer Rollie Fingers, comedian and actress Judy Gold, world beard champion Jack Passion and lumberjack champion Mike Sullivan. In addition to the public figures, the Board includes four everyday Americans – a retired Navy Seal, a school teacher, a police officer and a mother of four boys.

(I live in Little Rock, Ark., which didn’t make any list. Memphis is the nearest manly city. I’ve been to Memphis. … We’ll just let it go at that.)
