Somebody who doesn’t go on social media to complain about stuff like neighbors, etc. A real man handles that in person in a courteous way.

Anatomy makes a real man. Anything else is "subjective ".

A real man is in touch with his emotions and not afraid to show them when necessary, and is also not too insecure to show those raw emotions to those he loves and trusts. He is also able to control those emotions when logic is called for instead, and is able to see the logical conclusion over the emotional one - and then act on logic.

A real man realizes the world isn't perfect and sometimes you have to set your ego and pride aside to make things happen in a positive direction. A real man will "take one for the team" with a smile on his face as long as he can inspire and propel others to greatness and generate a positive outcome for them and sometimes not himself.

In short, a real man is humble but also stands up for himself, his family, those he cares about, and his values without always feeling the need to be the center of attention. He moves others to be better instead of himself.

Yeah wasn't meant to be a knock on men who don't have children or choose not to.

Yeah, this is bullshite. Some wives do some bad shite. I’m not sitting on the side and getting abused because I’m a “man”. It’s probably quite the opposite.

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.


Does it still count if I need 15 people on the Home and Garden Board to walk me through it?

Hey!
What makes a man, is it the power in his hands?
Is it his quest for glory?
Give it all you got,
to fight to the top,
So we can know your story.

Now you're a man!
A man, man, man,
Now you're a man!
A manny, manny man,
A man, man, man,
You are now a man.
You're a man.....
Now you're a man!

Live it, live it!

What makes a man,
is it the woman in his arms,
Just 'cause she has big titties?
Or is it the way he fights everyday?
No, it's prob'ly the titties.

Now you're a man!
A man, man, man,
Now you're a man man!
Man man man man man!
Now you're a man!
M-A-N man man, man man man!
Now you're a 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?


Sure, that and a pair of testicles.

This. There is nothing worse than someone who can't own up to their mistake. Whatever you do, stick behind it. People make mistakes, so trying to pretend you don't looks weak.

I didn't mean to connotate that if a wife is doing something bad, you should ignore it. A man wouldn't do that, a cuck would.
