Why? My friend Elijah said it best:
“You know that you have done something well when you have all the right kind of friends….You know you have done even better when you have the right kind of enemies. It is one thing to have so many people who love and respect the exceptional manly character that Matt Chancy exhibits, but you know you have reached a whole new level of significance when your enemies literally spend all of there time and energy fanatically obsessed about what you are doing all day. If feminists and effeminates are manically opposed to the manliness of Matt Chancy…I would say his manliness is the proper sort.”
You can read Elijah’s comment in context here. You can read about and vote for my good friend Matthew L. Chancey here.

My friend Matt Chancey has been nominated by his wife Jennie for the Old Spice “Art of Manliness Man of the Year,” an honor I think he is well deserving. As of this writing he is about 300 votes down and the poll closes on the 14th. Matt is a close personal friend and a true man’s man so I want to offer my friends on facebook my list of reasons to vote for Matt. If I am convincing, perhaps you will consider using your corner of the world wide web to “get the vote out” in these last 48 hours. So here without further ado, in no particular order, is Perry’s list of why you should vote for Matt Chancey for Old Spices “Art of Manliness – Man of the Year”
