What is a Real Man?

it should be easy to distinguish a real man from the population of metrosexuals out there.

Why do you suppose that is?? Why do think men are putting up so many "facades" and not being confident in their own masculinaty??


Gee I wonder if living in this "Bigger is Better" society for the last 30 years has anything to do with it? You guys ever hear the phrase "If you throw enough shiit against the wall, some of it is bound to stick?"

What is a Real Man?
Posted: 6/11/2008 10:33:02 AM
ukno, the whole "what a real man is" thing is really played out. personally, i prefer to keep it black and white on this one, if ur old enough by law to considered a man, then ur a man. now on that note, id have to say there are good men and there are bad men, but a man is a man reguardless. someone stated, im tired of having to compete with daddy-- i liked that one, it was cool. personaly, what ive come to the conclusion myself after years of my -granted- young observation, that a womans definition of a real man is what she wants him to be, may not always be financial, but it is emotional, physical, and security.... but what alot of women tend to do, is once a man does something she doesnt like, or doesnt do something she wants, he isnt, or no longer is, a man.

e.i if she met a guy whos a great lay, good looking and takes care of her she'll call him a man, but once she finds out he doesnt like to go down on her, she'll eventually leave... and tell all her friends he wasnt a real man. or (no offense) the bbw who tend to state, real men like curves, or he couldnt handle all of this cause he wasnt a real man...
interesting isnt it.

A real man - in my opinion, , isn't plastic and called Ken...


a real man , has feelings, is compassionate, has passion, isn't selfish and greedy.

A real man believe in god. Accept responsibilties for his own action, respect his self and others. have confidence in hisself and dont worry about wat other people think of him. Dependent, dont desrepect womens, know how to walk away from drama. Loyal to his mate, dont have to lie to be accepted. Brave. A go getter. Won't settle for less. Achieve his goals and accomplishment. Love his parents.

A real man holds his woman in high regard. Respects her, treats her as he treats himself, takes care of her (provides for her if they are married so that she can stay home and take care of the kids). Is faithful, trustworthy, and can be friends with females too. Not afraid of what his friends say, puts his woman first.

And a real man ALWAYS pays on dates.

A real man doesn't abide by the definitions of others.

the "real man" crap translates to "what does she consider a "real man"". If you are finding guys that just want sex, then you need to modify your filter. this seems to be women's favorite tagline, and logically makes no sense... "real" equals physically exists, and we do, so we are real men. what you seem to mean is, in one term, i want one that will treat me with respect, or i want one that will drag me off to the cave. i think guys that actually have respect for women are ignored because they are actually viewed as "fake".

a "real man" can be labeled that to one woman and not to another cause he does or doesnt do something she might want him to do. who made of that label anyway, it seems like women are hip to the whole manly man thing alot of guys try to pull off to seem popular or respected, and have developed that term simply to damage a mans ego or confidence once shes not satisfied with him.. : women put that label on all types of guys: if he is a great father to their child, supports the family financially and emotionally, but cant get it up in bed, someone will say hes not a real man..
if the guy only dates thin or athletic woman, and doesnt want a bbw, then someone will say hes not a real man. alot of woman say things like that because they dont wanna come to the conclusion that they might be the problem instead of him, so theyll use that title cause it makes them feel better

--personally, to me a real man is a real man by my definition not by some chick who isnt satisfied with the success she is or isnt given

I think a real man is loving, caring and will listen to you. He will not lie or cheat on you. I real man is one who will protect you and make you strong. He will love you for who u r. He will understand if you can’t make it to dinner. He will take care of you when you r sick. In your eyes he will be your hero. That’s just what I think. I don’t know if there is really one out their. What do you think is a real woman? Always remember you can’t change people they r who they r.

A real man:

Someone who is great in bed, and takes the time to find out EXACTLY what turns me on and takes pleasure in doing so...(goes both ways of course)

This is SO SIMPLE.

1. LOOKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Cuddle to their demands !!!!!!

Any questions ?

There is a certain threshold depending on the attractiveness of the female.

Sometimes U might be able to get away with just being a great lover ... has worked for me for years.

Someone who has grown up - i.e. resolves their own issues, pays their own bills, is the boss of themselves, has their life in order. And if I was a guy I would have the same requirements for women.

A "real man" is nothing more than a made up concept by women with an inferiority complex. In order for them to get you to do what they want you to do, they use reverse psychology by trying to suggest you're not a real man if you don't do (or can't handle) x, y, and z. This is usually an attempt to get the man to be a "real man" and accept some double standard, which is only to her benefit and satisfies her insecurities.

" A real man believe in god." this post was by far the stupidest post out here. First of all its not even stated correctly, but maybe what your trying to say is, "real" men should be spiritual. Second, people have different gods they believe in. So what, your god is the right god? Maybe their god doesn't exist in an intangible, mystic image of a holy white man(which no one looks like in the middle east, but more like in Europe) painted by Michelangelo. Or are you just saying what you said cause you think if you believe in god you'll make wholesome decisions in life, and "do the right thing". We already see how thats working out in this predominantly Christian country. And everything else you stated about a "real man" is obviously the polar opposite of the men you were just "with"(in the biblical sense) . So, in essence all you know is what you DON'T want. And from this state of mind your in, you believe a "real man" should be able to figure out what you want. Thereby making him a real man cause he could figure YOU out. So in conclusion, extremely misguided lady, what you want to say is; A real man knows what a woman wants! Especially when she doesn't. Good luck w/ that.
How bout, A real man is one who is not carried through life by his DESIRES but by his VALUES. And the same can be said for a real woman.

A Real Man is one who is caring, unselfish, and is willing to have a life with his wife outside of the bedroom. Money deffinitely does not make a man. And most important....it isnt important as to what you look like....its whats in your heart and how you treat and respect the one you love.

That is the most selfish list I have ever heard.


A real man pays? So money matters.

Wtf? This is the most selfish thing I have heard. You put your needs first. This goes for men and women. Otherwise there will be resentment.



Does anyone else see something wrong with this? Does a real woman put his needs first?
Well tell me does she? Or is this another one of those double standards?



This woman is using nothing but shaming language.


I'd like to hear some opinions on this.




A real man holds his woman in high regard. Respects her, treats her as he treats himself, takes care of her (provides for her if they are married so that she can stay home and take care of the kids). Is faithful, trustworthy, and can be friends with females too. Not afraid of what his friends say, puts his woman first.

What would you know about a real man is? You're the one who has stated you've had god knows how many sugar daddies. Why should your definition even account for anything?

The only time I hear a girl talking about a Real Man is when she is basically saying the equivalent to: "I'm upset because I am selfish, immature and not getting my way. And if you were a Real Man then you would not have made me feel this way".
