Meat. Manliness. Wood. Boats. Bourbon. Ron Swanson may be a man of a few words, so it\u2019s fitting that one only needs a few words to call him to mind. It\u2019s fairly obvious he\u2019s the type of man other men aspire to be.

\n5. Scottsdale, AZ<\/a>
\n6. Miami, FL<\/a>
\n7. Birmingham, AL<\/a>
\n8. Austin, TX<\/a>
\n9. Denver, CO<\/a>
\n10.Lexington, KY<\/a><\/p>\n
