Where to find the worlds happiest and healthiest men

Go Canada! :p

Our first ranking of "The World's Best Countries for Men" turned out a lot like the World Cup. Though there were no international head-butting incidents and all our scoring was done with stats instead of soccer balls, a few countries dominated the field while the United States stood on the sidelines—just like in the Cup. The upside? We don't have to wait 4 years to turn our team around.

In order to arrive at our rankings, we began by conducting a worldwide survey of more than 20,000 men. Then we delved deep into data from such sources as the World Health Organization, Euromonitor International, the United Nation's International Labour Organization, and the Durex Global Sex Survey. After days of mind-numbing number crunching, we had our winners in five categories.

Start transforming yourself today with the secrets we've gleaned from the countries where men have the most muscle, the least stress, the best sex, the healthiest bodies, and the smartest diets. And yep, you can use your hands.

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Not so good on the sex and relationships part though....seems puzzling given everything else being good.

    Must be due the vast open lands you have up there and those cold winters yall have. I was in Toronto one year and it was late October World Series was playing and it was cold, I mean chill to the bone cold. Part of my childhood was growing up in Boston but Canada's cold was a different kinda cold.

    I still love RUSH all the same.

    Decriminalized marijuana has killed the country's collective libido. On what i am sure is an unrelated note, Phish albums and Dorito sales are astounding.

    This is one of the dumbest fucking analogies I've ever heard since Canada's national team is shit. Nice try. How'd you guys do again at the World Cup? Oh, yeah. You didn't even qualify. Not even remotely good enough for the big stage.

    Your analogy talked about the World Cup. Not about particulars, average citizens or anything else. Canada doesn't qualify often for the World Cup, so the observation was that if you were trying to show how much better Canada is than the US you might want to try a different analogy. If you'd talk about hockey you'd have been closer. But using soccer, baseball, football or basketball probably isn't going to help you make your point.

    Canada's ranking in the Men's Health poll turned out nothing like the World Cup. That's my point.

    Where Relaxation Reigns

    1. Spain

    No shit! :rolleyes:

    Typical scenario in Espana:

    Customer: "Hi, so I need a washing machine delivered'
    Washing machine place: 'Si! Manana!'

    Customer two days later: "Hi, so, er, when's my washing machine gonna be delivered?"
    Washing machine place: "Manana!"

    e.t.c, e.t.c, ad infinitum.

    Sorry, man. My apologies. I did go back and read the article and saw that you were quoting the article. Sorry again. The analogy makes a little more sense coming from a U.S. author about the U.S.

    Looks like the U.S. needs to work on nutrition, relaxation, sex, etc.., etc..., etc...!

    Did you mean "taught me" or "learnt to be"? 'Cause this changes the whole sentence.

    Healthiest? Maybe

    Happiest? I doubt it.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
