Wrong, the manliest thing to be in Europe is a Finnish hand sawing lumberjack who consumes Absolut Vodka like tap water and gives his wife a good ol' slappin' when he comes home to find that his meat and potatoes aren't yet on the table.
Perkele arvoton nainen!
Haha great one man. That's actually the most stereotypical view of Finnish men, but there's some truth in it. The typical middle-aged male in Finland works with IT/is an engineer with high education and a normal family with two or more kids. These beer drinking, hockey watching fat asses are pretty rare actually in the modern Finnish society, but some of my friends' dads are just like them.
This reminds me of something I hate in my homeland: Mainstream power metal. Since that fucking Kiss-mock-tribute band won the Eurovision contest, our country has been full of shitty power metal etc. Stratovarius, Nightwish and Sonata Arctica are complete shit aswell. And Finland is advertised as "The land of heavy metal". Fuck that. I'm not saying all finnish metal sucks, we've got some great underground bands.
