I am not a sexist. I don't want to be sexist. My mind keeps wondering what is the definition of being a REAL MAN. Of course, we came from different parts of the world and the essence of being a man varies from culture to culture. But there is an imposed image of a real man which is portrayed in mass media like in movies and television shows. I noticed that most of the protagonist man in a movie or TV show should have a sexy leading lady, a damsel in distress to be saved, etcetera. Some also show us that a real man should know how to fight physically, using a weapon, mostly gun. dohWhat is a real man? How it is to be a real man? Are there any standard on being a real man?
I am lost. I am in the middle of wilderness. I have lived 26 years but it is still vague to me the meaning of being a real man... whistle

I think a real man is a man who loves his family, is loyal, faithful, sticks up for his beliefs, strong but sensitive and honest. A guy could be the hottest one in the world, but won't get my attention unless he has these qualities.

A real man doesn't have to be sexy and usually isn't. In my view a real man is a man that takes care of his responsiblities (like kids and family), is open about things (not a lot of secrets), worries about stuff (bills, health, etc.) and is honest. This may not define the tough guy, the strongest, the weak, the shy, the nerd or geek, but it does define the perfect. And most women want the perfect. The outside shouldn't matter it is what someone does that makes them a real man.

A real man?
To me a real man is a man that can be trusted to do what is right.
He is responsible and caring.
He is loving and honest.
Is independent, does not look up to other men, is self assured.(In a positive way)
Has his own ideas and way of thinking.
He does everything he can to give his best to his family.

When you find him, let me know. lol
Take care.

I think a real man should always contain lovers' mistakes or shortage. A real man can protect and care women.A real man know how to deal with matters properly.A real man like reading and learning new knowledges.

in my opinion,real man is not handsome by looking or have much money.it is hard to definite cause eveyone has their standard to see real man.in my eyes.real man is loving care and responsiable and not sel-fish and good heart.all good things and not bad things to real man.they should always have good comment by others.that is my opinion.but i know it is hard to find such perfect man in the world cause we are human not always perfect.

A real man. Hmmm. As you said a wrong figure has been projected into the minds of people about how a real man should be. And unfortunately many a people get down to decide you based on that. I really agree with what 'meandmy3' said in his/her first post. There are many a characters that a person needs to exhibits to be a real man. He should be able to take responsibility and be accountable for what he is doing.

lolEvery word that I would say now is about my hubby being the kind of man that i have always wanted. happy
A man who knows when to stop and consider it as a wrong thing.
A man who's not afraid to show his feelings and never to result it in drinking.
A man who believes that there's a woman in every man's success.
A man who thinks her woman as a Jewel to take care off.
and A man who knows how and when to love his woman,unconditionally. blush
