| What is a "Real Man"? Posted: 5/5/2007 5:33:17 PM | Women often say they are sick of (other) men, so i'm asking, 'What are the things that real men do?' What are the things real men don't do? What are the things that real men have?
Are we talking special manners, money, or something else?
Spill it out ladies. I'm dying to hear what you are looking for.

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 5:40:33 PM | I believe a real man is one that does not zoom all over your room when stuck with a pin.
On a serious note,I think a real man is one of mostly old school values.Protects his home,hearth.One that beleives ALL women deserve respect.One that believes he is the protector.Loves his mom,apple pie and country.
I believe when a woman walks into her man's arms she should feel it is the safest,most loving place on earth.His arms have to be wide enough to accept her follies,family and friends.When he can do all this with a smile and with love,he is to me a real man. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 5:45:43 PM | | I think mrslucci is right on the target. Real man is there for his woman. Real men are honest, stronge, faithful, and protector. Real keep their word. I do not judge a man by his money or job, but by the way he treats me. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 5:59:36 PM | Mrs. Lucci pinnned that one down...(Pun fully intended there).
HONESTY, FAITHFULNESS, and TRUST are the most important things a man can give me. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 6:04:55 PM | Interesting that there can be definitions of what "a real man" is but try to state opinions of what "a real woman" is and the feminists come out of the woodwork.. lol
I think women will define "a real man" differently than a man will. I'll bet that a womans definition will end up resembling that White Knight image rather than a "real world/day in day out/30 years with the same man" reality. We're all people who change over time and with the circumstances of the moment. To place static criteria on a dynamic situation will never work.

mrs lucci hit it right on the nail .. It is funny I always say my dad was a real man along with my brothers ..They are all guys who take care of the women in their lives , rather wife ,sisters, neice what ever . I also admit I expect a man in my life to meet those standards . | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 6:22:42 PM | I don't think I have ever knew a man who does not meet what is listed on real man.
Maybe it would be easier if it was described what a fake man is like. | |

I totally agree and that was well said.
A real women is pretty much the same way except she is the female version offcourse, but other then that, pretty well the same. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 6:46:56 PM | All these things that are mentioned are all well and good, but, it isn't just that. Women want all these things, AND they want their guy to be drop dead gorgeous. Most men who are the best at all the things mentioned in the other posts, are not the ideal looking man. Most guys who are faithful and loyal and protectful of their ladies, arent the most attractive men in the world. Are some women so shallow as to they would rather have an attractive guy that treats them like crap, over the not so attractive guy who will treat them like queens? | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 6:50:05 PM | Woof. Woof. I could use a refill on my brandy cask here, but I digress. Does a real man cry ...or just keep 'rolling w/the punches' for a fight begun by a girl whose jealousy and desire to see it materialize in her 'latest bodyguard', but didn't because he knew better, count as real? I'm referring to the 'pin prick tests' that make me feel like some experiment before someone who deserves the same respect as that being expected of me. Dontcha think?
I, for one, am also tired of competing w/ daddy, who's either long deceased and now immortal ...or who didn't give his baby girl all the attention that she desired when he was still alive. I don't have a problem w/ being a rock of my own constitution, but please don't ask me to fill the shoes of someone that I'd not had the pleasure to know. Sorry, but I need that brandy to erase what I've learned for what women expect before accept for my having my own father, and a mother whom I obeyed more when she wasn't whipping me into line. | |

Nice!! Lol...
What is a real man/woman? The REAL you... you being yourself.. it isn't a list of qualities that you don't necessarily possess.. it is YOUR qualities.. YOU at your best.. what is so hard to understand here?? The word REAL sort of implies the answer, no?

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 6:54:49 PM | | In saying I want a man to be like my daddy is ... It means in the way he treated my mom , being a rock for her , being there for her , treating her good , just lil things .. he did I admired ( example during the winter going out clearing her car of ice and snow and warming it up while she was inside making him breakfast and coffee ) just simple things that he did for her ... K eep in mind those real men tend to get real women who do likewise in return lil things for him ... | |

Now I know for sure that every man is a real man. They are who they are and they are good at who they are. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 6:57:02 PM | REAL MEN: Love Home Depot and Lowes Do NOT like Chic Flicks Prefer Sex to going just about anywhere Love cars, tools, guns and sports Prefer actions to words Don't eat quiche Are NOT that picky and long as they are fed, sexually satisfied and can trust you. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 7:00:32 PM | when i posted this question, i expected to hear mostly the 'same old bs'--strong, protective, perfectly accepting, 'big arms.' whatever.
it totally sounds like women are LITTLE GIRLS looking for a father to WALK THEM ACROSS THE STREET.
where do i find a woman who will tuck me into bed--and make the house payments?

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 7:01:19 PM | | christi, May I conject by your last post that a real man would be considerate of a woman who is equally considerate of him ...even if we each may not be able to express this in like ways. Real for real ...and it's so much simpler than the truly superficial believe it to be, no? | |

HA HA you men might be shocked but there are men out there like that , wanting women to make the house payment and all bills , taking care of the cars , driving them around like a taxi service, to the point yea might as well tuck them into bed too. Which im sure its why the phrase wanting a real man started ... there are men out there that its like the woman took another CHILD on , heck I have a friend right now in that situation and shes now frustrated , the guy dont even know how to go pay their light bill .
and to lonestar .. would be nice if its true but not all men are considerate back just as not all women are .. | |

| What is a Real Man? Posted: 5/5/2007 7:09:12 PM | "Real Man" = most used, A term used by women to belittle or put down the man she is with, as in, "God, I wish I was with a real man." This has nothing to do with what the man is really like, its just a term that is meant to be hurtfull.
"Real Man" = A term used by women when talking to other women, usually involving alcohol and some sexual arousal. as in, "God look at that guy over there, I could use a Real Man right about now."
"Real Man"= Seldom used, A term some women may use to the man she is with to express her approval, sometimes even during sex, as in, "God, oh God, I finally found me a Real Man!"
"Real Man" = Obscure usage, pehaps used by women of lesser intelligence while window shopping, as in, "Is that a Real Man in that window?" | |

Ihaveaname4you.. well it's obvious from this thread that the definition is different from woman to woman and certainly worth asking to find out her particular views so that you can see what it is she wants, but I think a REAL man is a man who knows who he is, his strengths AND weaknesses and doesn't need to put on some kind of facade for he is confident within his masculinity... kind of sad how rare that is..
