What makes a “real” man?

I’m not talking about anatomy here, so in before any of that. What I mean is, what is your definition of a “real” man? Is it a man who knows how to build things, fix things, have skills that are traditionally considered masculine? Is it a man who is considered “tough”, who will take on any challenge?
Does one’s occupation make them more “manly” than others? The vehicle they drive? Do you believe that the only requirement to be considered a “man” is one that works hard and provides for his family? Does income measure his success as a man?
Do you personally believe in the term “toxic masculinity”? Do you believe there is merit to it, or is it simply part of the new “woke” culture?

One of the biggest things, to me, is when mistakes are made own up and try to make it right.

Pees with the toilet seat up and doesn't put it down when he's finished. He only washes his hands if urine somehow splashes on them.

A man who raises his children, does his best to take care of his family and is a decent human being.

I think a man has to have some sort of handy skill. There is nothing more emasculating than a guy that has to have someone help them do simple tasks around the house. I’m not talking about hiring someone for convenience. I’m talking about hiring someone because you don’t know how to work a simple set of tools.

Ability to google plus the ability and ego sensitivity to know when an expert is needed.

Experiencing and learning from those experiences.

Voting for literally anyone other than a fricking democrat nowadays. If you’re a man and vote for democrats right now you’re a pussy.

Yep. All that other stuff is much appreciated, but arrogance is incredibly difficult to live with.

A man is honorable, keeps his word, offers assistance to people in need, raises his children well, loves his wife unconditionally, would fight to the death for his family, admits when he's wrong, and does the right things when no one is looking

For the most part, and there are some exceptions, any man that hasn't raised children is just a boy in a man's body.

Agree 100%.
A man who doesn’t father any children can still be a real man, but every real man is a father to his children.

It’s a man who does right and will stick up for the weak when oppressed by bad men.

Pretty much this.
The buck stops with you. Never hide mistakes. Own them, fix them if you can, and learn from them. Excuses and blaming is for children.
