I invented something you can call "The Crocs Test to evaluate whether or not a man was raised without a father:
If he's willing to wear something super ugly/embarrassing but functional, like teva sandals & socks, crocs, old man new-balance sneakers, etc then there's a chance he had an actual masculine role model in his life, and he knows that men don't have to always GAF about what the ladies think
If he balks....much higher probability that he was raised by a woman
