While my comment uses somewhat of an antiquated (and potentially toxic) expectation of “manly” behavior, I was attempting to paint a humorous picture of what I would look like in that situation. FWIW, I was not making a condemnation of anyone for this type of behavior. If anything, I was poking fun at myself. 😊
