If there is a fire it must be bothered. It must be prodded several times and sticks need adding to it. The fire cannot be trusted not take care of itself.
Hitting something with a ranged attack. Doesn't matter the target, doesn't matter the projectile. Basketball at hoop, dart at dart board, pee at poo stain, bb gun at empty can, snowball at tree, bullet at bullseye, it's all the same to us
When I was a kid, my town had a bowling ball factory where they would leave the rejected balls in a big pile in back of the building, unguarded. In winter, we would sometimes nick a few and walk to one of the bridges on the local river which had iced over and drop the balls in. Dropping little rocks into water is cool and all, but absolutely nothing compares to the satisfying explosion from one of those bowling balls on ice.
Not a man, but it seems to me that if you asked most men what they would like to do if they found themselves alone on the battlements of an abandoned castle, they'd say "Pee over the edge." Dropping a stone is the substitute for when people are around.
Why do men always want to hog all these enjoyable past-times? Next they'll be claiming that stuff like stepping on frozen puddles on the side of the road to hear the satisfying cracking noises is a "guy thing". Like please, we all know men don't go outside.
Gathering in a line or a circle and looking at things. Could be a bonfire, a body of water, someone else digging a hole, etc. Holding a beer during this activity is optional but a significant upgrade.
Drinking very cold bevereges after a strenuous day of work/workout is the best. May or may not be beer.
Having a hot showing drinking a cold one after gym is also THE BEST.
Sitting on a 5 gallon bucket in the middle of a windy, frozen lake without gloves on in order to feel the very low chance of a fish taking a hook 50' underneath me.
I think that's a great answer, a broader one would be an exciting show of force.
Great impact both physical and emotional in a singular moment in time.
Men are easily captivated by that which inspires awe both figuratively awesome and literally breathtaking, like the neuron activation equivalent of letting strong winds wrap around your body.
That's why most young adult male audience comic books involve transcending mundane limits to our reality with things like magic quirks and genetic mutations: we want to see something big happen and our frail human selves cannot handle that.
