Hmmm - God - Who cares about GOD??? That makes a man weak.....

they love their mothers
Hmmm - Moma's Boy aye? What can't make up your own mind - who is the priority???

He would also be a great lover
Hmmm - Woody Allen or a Bad Boy who slept with 20-30 others b4 he got to you????

listens and pays attention in and out bed
Hmmm - even understand when you have to guess???

He would have integrity and choose to tell the truth about anything.
Hmmm - yeah the last time my father told my mother she was a little overweight - he got to sleep on a sofa in the Living Room for a Month.... Right ....

He would love, protect, respect,appreciate,and nuture his woman.
Hmmm - Daddys home - he will provide for you - Men you date are not your daddy......

How about he's doesn't have the following traits: 1. Psychopath 2. Woman beater 3. Alcoholic 4. Bull$h!tter 5. A total Creep 6. Closed Minded 7. Stalker
Maybe you want to start with that - because these are more urgent issues.... | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 9/10/2009 12:03:50 AM | | I am wondering where the arms wide enough to accept her family and friends comes from? Uh, correct me if I am wrong, but aren't those less important than your mate? I was taught by my parents that my mate is more important than anything other than God. I am not one to let her push the friends and family on me. Again, correct me if I am wrong, there is a phrase in vows you take, ".... foresaking all other.....", and ".....cleave only to him/her...." that is why you leave your parents and become one with your mate. And the long list of things is a list of things that are common in all normal men. I find it humorous that women go out and find men that are outside that list on a lot of different levels then they want to know what a real man is. I think its simple, if you would look for normal men, rather than go chasing after the big heman types I think the women would be hooking up with more real men to start with. | |

Real men fear God first
Pretty Poet, you're getting stoned (not high) on this thread, and I don't want to join in that. But I'm always nonplussed by the idea that it is good to fear God, e.g. " good god-fearing people". I mean, he made us, right? What are we to fear? What perfect Creator destroys his creations? (Even before that built-in self-destruct breaker, death by "natural causes", flips?) Some folks believe that humans invent a God, in part to explain things they can't comprehend, much less explain, and in part because we puny mortals have to believe there is something more, and then empower Him with infinite strength and the ultimate wisdom. Bunches of others talk about a merciful Father, an image of a kinder, gentler, but still, all-powerful disciplinarian. Nobody needs to fear me, as I intend harm to no one. Wouldn't that be a more "Godly" approach to one's children than to exercise the reknowned Wrath of God? Right. I don't get it. Seems as if the Deity is as mythical, and loaded with contradictions, as the Real Man we're all searching for in this thread. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 9/10/2009 5:19:47 AM | | As for those god fearing men, known some, more than a few who thought the rules didn't apply to them. Well, with god on your side, you're always right. Isn't that the theory in lots of wars and stuff? Seems people do lots of not such good stuff in god's name. I wonder how "she" feels about that? | |

cleave only to him/her...."
Biblical quotes in sex and dating. Well, the bible had some action scenes. I never quite accepted the word of god, being written by and widely interpreted by men. Had a lovely Jesuit priest teach me some stuff about the Old Testament once, in a required course, at a Catholic University. I always wondered why we had to listen to his spin on life, relationships, etc...He was after all celibate(or vowed to be), inexperienced in lots of life experiences.
I think a real man is the one who elevates his partner, makes her feel good about themselves as a couple and herself. In turn, a real woman does the same for her partner. In theory it's simple, it seems to be finding and sustaining it in real life is the hard part. | |

"Well, with god on your side, you're always right."
Any true God fearing man never takes that approach. The approach will always be "Am I On God's Side". There is a big difference. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 9/10/2009 9:50:08 AM | When I was growing up I had a serious mad crush on Alan Alda (Hawkeye) from M.A.S.H. He was the epitome of what I thought all men should be. Combine Hawkeye with Patrick Dempsey and Denzel Washington and that would work quite well with me.

What?!!! We can do mixers? Highballs? C-cktails? LOL Or is this just one of those ladies’ drinks?

Yikes!! I wanna believe, I do, I swear, lol, but I was married to a woman who needed to step on others (me!) to increase her own stature. On the other hand, if I can giddy (I know, not your average verb, but I break more rules than follow em, in full public view, just to see what will happen) my partner, make her feel naturally high, that singular power I would love to have, and exercise.
Bring it, but I've been known to fight dirty, to get what I want. Just sayin'
Cool! Lady's got game! lol K, understood, and agreed. You be Hillary, I’ll play Barack. But no testicle wrenching or removing! Lol About the only thing I KNOW is real about me.
Watch out for that whytwater, he'll be tryin to convert you to the other side.
Damn lawyers! Dangerous people, they are. Lol Mole!! Clockwatcher!! My bullets are made of the wrong metal/mettle, and my bread buttered on the wrong side, to penetrate Leda’s shields. I already fired off a test round, and it dropped to the top of her sneakers. lol
Well, he wouldn't be the first, but could be the last. He seems to argue some points pretty well, persuasive and all. Hmmm Mrs. Whytwater Do you think I should start shopping for the dress?
WHOA!!! In a short Victorian poem, graphic imagery, Zeus, as a swan, fvcks a previous Leda, also Greek. The marriage I’m looking for is of bodies, souls and minds, not necessarily in that order, but I overstayed my welcome in that other kind of Marriage, and damn near lost my soul, and I won’t be stopping there again. I may look a little like Zeus, but I don’t claim that birthright, and I can’t see myself in feathered plumage (although I might find a use for webbed feet). Lol
Pssst! Whytwater is just something I do sometimes, not my real surname. God!! Hope you’re not stuck on “W”s. | |

Real men wear pink undergarments.

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 9/10/2009 2:49:39 PM | Hmm A real man? Well no one is perfect and it would be boring if they were.I just want someone I can have fun with and laugh,with some same interest and ya to feel safe in his arms would not hurt ether.But I don't want someone like my father or brother,that would be weird.Loyal and faithful,well I already have a dog for that.
I have dated different men and liked different things in all of them.You just see or meet someone and it starts with mutual attraction and then you see if everything clicks from there.
A man needs to be himself and not have to meet a list a women wants when it comes to how they behave.All you really need is mutual respect,trust and honesty.I give what I get so a women can't expect a man to be all that if there not willing to be all that to them. | |

They do so wear pink and they dare anyone to call them gay. Nyah.
Isn't everyone so tired of this "real" man / "real" woman garbage, yet? It's beyond ridiculous. | |

Real men have cracks in their armor
Cracks and crevices are good things, but, the wearing of armor in affairs of the heart shouldn't be necessary. | |

Women drive jeeps too! And can look pretty good in the woods, stripped down or not. This post is useless without pictures. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 9/11/2009 5:59:41 AM | Chinks, we have chinks in our armor, not cracks and crevices. Sheeessshhh
" but, the wearing of armor in affairs of the heart shouldn't be necessary."
Wouldn't it be nice? Please note, rhetorical question. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 9/12/2009 6:00:10 AM | | Real Men are men who can stand on their own two feet. They do not do the "group think" thing and go along with the crowd because they are their "Own man". A real man respects women, but respects himself FIRST! A real man will never put a woman in a comprimising position and will not put himself in a comprimising position in pursuit of a woman. A real man knows how to pursue a woman without her knowledge of knowing that she is being pursued (kinda like women do). A real man knows not to argue with a woman, but instead, take the High road and just move on if compromise is not possible. A real man is powerful yet humble. A real man subdues his passions looks to improve himself. | |
