Posted: 3/25/2006 5:20:06 PM | Oooh! Interesting topic!
IMHO, a real man is a man that is comfortable in his own skin, doesn't pretend to be something that he's not, before acting - he takes into consideration the rights of others and how his behavior affects those around him, he doesn't need a mother and isn't looking to be a father to his significant other, he's someone who has a pretty good idea of what he wants in life, but won't cheat to get it, he plays fair because he's a grown up. Does that help? | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 5:38:31 PM | momya, that F*CKIN NAILED IT. well then I guess im a real man. :( im comfortable in my own skin, I always take into account the rights of others and how my behaviour affects others. like just last week I took into account the fact that everyone has the right to free speech, so when this guy told me to shut up, I thought that,if I punch this guy inthe mouth he wont tell me to shut up again (took into account how my behaviour would affect those around me) so I knocked him out. J/K. seriously though that seems like a fairly accurate description of what a man should be thx momya.
When I picture a "real man" I see my grandfather, A strong, proud man who provided for his family and never had a problem letting his opinion be known (not rudely of course). treated my grandmother like princess and always had something interesting to do around the house. I guess that would be my definition of a real man. | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 9:19:01 PM | | A 'real man' to me is a man's man!!! A guy who's not afraid to get his hands dirty, drink a beer with the boys, change the oil on my car... things like that!!! And for me, a man can protect me... or at least make me feel like he'd do his best!!! | |

A real man takes reasonability, a great father, supports his woman. A real man stands strong when under pressure, and he lives life to the fullest. | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 10:41:43 PM | Hmm. I wonder if there's any advantage to being a "fake man". I mean, it's something that no-one's asking for, so at least you'd stick out. *thinking* If it's all about the angles, then someone needs to try that.

Posted: 3/25/2006 11:47:03 PM | | The Term "Real Man" has become slang with little literal meaning. After hearing it many times in context, it seems to refer to a man who isn't a jerk,selfish, or disrespectful. A "real man has come to mean essentially the same thing as a "good man" | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 12:03:53 AM | | There are as many different definitions as there are women. What is a real man to me isn't necessarily the same to the next woman. To me real just means sincere and genuine. Someone who knows and likes themselves just like they are and has a balanced self esteem and confidence. What you see is what you get, they are who they say they are and appear to be. No surprises, the real deal. | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 12:38:26 AM | I think Momya summed it up nicely.
The same definition she gave can also be applied in determining if a person is really a nice man or just tells everyone he's a "nice guy." (For reference -- if you have to tell people you are a nice guy, you probably aren't.)
My problem is that all the real men who are also good men in my area are already married.  | |

Hang on let me check with a pinch..... Oooochhh.... Yep I'm real!!!
Seriously I like what momya wrote!
VVV
A real man is a man that is comfortable in his own skin...
Doesn't pretend to be something that he's not...
He doesn't need a mother and isn't looking to be a father to his significant other!!
He has a pretty good idea of what he wants in life, but... won't cheat to get it!!!
He plays fair because he's a grown up.
All great points but this one is the best...
VVV
Before acting...
he takes into consideration the rights of others and...
how his behavior affects those around him.
^^^
If only we could all be more that way... this world would be a happier place!!!
Thanks mom... | |

 Now how the heck am I supposed to debate with you when you make sensible comments like this. And dont forget, real men can sit and pee too. | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 4:23:46 PM | | A real man knows his strength and is not afraid to be gentle. He's protective of his loved ones, he's patient but won't take any shit from anyone. He's very loyal, you can be sure he'll always be there for you. He'll wipe you're tears and hold you in his arms even when you're being unreasonable. And all of that makes him damn sexy. | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 4:37:13 PM | | These are all really good definitions.....Momya & Mimosa.....I think you two are probably Real and Good women. I think to meet the likes of you would help me to become a real and good man! | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 5:04:04 PM | | 99c I dated a man like that and broke up with him, mostly for that reason. I wanted a partner not a "yes dear, whatever you want, dear". I want someone who can think for himself and make decisions, not be a carbon copy of me. There is no value in that, I don't get a fresh perspective on my own ideas, I don't benefit from the wisdom and experience of someone else that I can respect and admire. I'd rather have someone say, well honestly I don't think that's a good idea because....than just to say yes and find out it wasn't a good idea after all. At least that's what I wanted and that's what I have. I benefit greatly and am constantly seeking my darling's perspectives and input. They are valuable to me, he is my most highly respected advisor and supporter and at times my best critic. I am willing to listen to him because most often he IS right and I don't have a problem with that at all. He's not afraid to tell me when he thinks I'm wrong, because he tells me why and I listen. We both are better off because of that. | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 5:17:55 PM | My point was, the designation is assigned by the woman based on whether or not she likes what he does. I wasn't saying it is a good strategy to be a doormat.
It's like training a dog. If the dog fetches the stick, say Good Doggie!
If it poops on the floor, say Bad Doggie!
All men are real, obviously, so all it means is Good Man, not Bad Man. | |
