Would I be considered a bloke if I wanted to punch this comedian in the mouth so he couldn't do his shitty act for a few months?

No sloop, you would be a bloke if you were pissed up in the front row laughing raucously and had a curry/kebab later and managed to get in a scrap with another bloke because you slapped his birds ass in the taxi rank.

On a scale of 1-10, 1 being Chris Chopping and 10 being Alexander the Great I’d say I’m a 7

I'm too arty to be blokey. But I'm very blokey compared to most arty types!

I'm pretty much a walking gambling advert, with a pint of cheap lager.

Apart from a lifetime of unwavering heterosexuality, I'm probably a 0 or a 1 on the bloke scale. It's a source of personal pride, for better or worse.
Can't abide sport of any sort, not much cop at punching other people's dads, and...ultimately the most macho things about me (love of a good rocking band/sound, past periods of womanizing/overindulgence in substance abuse...arguably compensatory on some level) make me no more fundamentally butch than, say, Rob Halford, Elton John or Freddie Mercury.
It's a quaint idea of masculinity, for sure - but (in aspiration, at least) I'm way more Fred Rogers than Liam Gallagher. Or Begbie.
I remember having an old grizzled English tour manager when I was in my late 20s/early 30s (bloody hell, this is starting to sound like one of HIS stories..I'm as old now as he was then), kind of 3" guy with long hair, leathery skin, and loads of keys on a chain who had worked with Lizzy...anyhow, one day he says something to me about my being "soft" (which I think...what the fuck! - thick? feminine?) and I must have bristled, cause he went to great lengths to illustrate his meaning, that it was a compliment of the highest order (warm, kind, gentle, flexible, generous, easy to get on with, supportive - I don't necessarily share his lofty assessment AT ALL, just so we're clear), but it was the first time I'd heard another man (SOMETHING of a man's man) use the word in this way as a complimentary term, and clearly it struck me and stayed with me. This idea that there might be some measure of masculine strength that is more Santa Claus than Sonny Barger. More Bacharach than Tyson. Lotta major 7 chords and Mellotrons. If competitive, not in any sort of jockish way.
My best friends are similar - assuredly they are some fucking dudes, but...you know, "soft-alpha". Not bullish or blowhardish or looking for bovver.
As I say, I'm pretty into it, but...Jesus - if I were a person who didn't know me and I read this, I might vomit.
