Positive Examples Of "Boys Will Be Boys" That Articulate The Dude Experience

These days, the phrase "boys will be boys" has developed a few nefarious connotations, usually in defense of some kind of sexist, destructive behavior. Many people find that colloquialism derides the point of things men mostly do, which is get into World War 2 history, talk about woodworking concepts we barely understand, and climbing trees that we don't have to.

There are a great many things that dudes just inherently do, like finding a stick or throwing rocks into lakes when we're bored. Seriously, we could spend literally hours throwing rocks into lakes and call the day complete. Stuff like this, combined with meaningless yet elaborate projects, doing things "to see what will happen," and having hours-long hypothetical arguments over how to properly engineer a fart-powered flying machine are all things that somehow fit the bill of "things dudes would probably do."

For a tumblr tale on the impressive problem-solving power of wholesome boys-will-be-boys moments, here are the wholesome frat boys who found some lost keys.
