The pools are mostly known for the constant sounds of kids playing in the water and of course, the <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/hot-mom-a-lattes-headed-to-stapleton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hot Stapleton moms<\/a>. Often overshadowed are the Stapleton men, who are constantly scrambling for their identity in the Stapleton community. Pool season gives guys one small chance to stand out and look \u201cmanly\u201d at the pools. \u201cDuring the rest of the year, I am going to work, going to kids events, and rarely get a chance to be out in the Stapleton social scene,\u201d said Stapleton male resident Brendan Rudee. \u201cEven when we are out socializing in the Stapleton community, my smoking hot wife usually overshadows me. So, for at least nine months of the year, I am pretty invisible.\u201d Stapleton dad Chris Westwick also struggles to stand out most of the year. \u201cMaybe we go to small gatherings, or head to the Berk,\u201d said Westwick. \u201cBut there really isn\u2019t a chance for me to show off the kind of man I am. I mean, I keep in shape, watch sports, and have a few beers every now and again.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nThe pool season allows men to finally strut their stuff. Some men are excited to show off their cross-fit bodies, others promote their slight belly and strong chest. Other guys understand the nuances of truly being a man. \u201cSome guys come in here and just don\u2019t get it,\u201d said local resident Andrew Pacenka. \u201cSure, you have to be in shape. But you also don\u2019t want people to think that\u2019s all you care about. Your beer choice says a lot about you.\u201d Fellow \u201cmanliest guy at pool\u201d contestant Kevin Uker agrees. \u201cYou can\u2019t walk around drinking juice, water, or even light beer. It helps if you have something hip like a PBR, or just something more rugged like a Coors. Chicks don\u2019t dig dudes drinking that microbrew crap. That says you\u2019re too worried about your image, and don\u2019t plan on having more than two. When you bring in a High Life, you\u2019re letting the ladies know, I plan to be here a while, and I don\u2019t care what ya\u2019ll think of me.\u201d\nSo, ladies, this summer, feel free to stare at the \u201cmanliest guy at pool\u201d contestants. Watch when they loudly ask a friend for a beer, or laugh hysterically at something that\u2019s not funny. They want you to stare. After all, this is their one time of the year to get a little bit of attention.
