Well for me a "real man" has balance.
He's not afraid to be a friend.
He's not afraid to be a lover.
He's not afraid to stand up for a cause.
He's not afraid to show affection, compassion or empathy.
He's not afraid to cry.
He's not afraid to admit he can be scared too.
He's not afraid of his inner child.
He's not afraid to be in charge when his partner is having a moment.
He's not afraid to share the load.
He's not afraid to lean on his partner for support.
He's not afraid to laugh (especially at himself).
He's not afraid to admit something is bothering him.
He's not afraid to compromise.

That's what I think anyway.:wink:



Very nice ((((Twitchflowerforyou )))).

A real man is one who does what he says he will do. He is caring, strong, compassionate and does not back down from his beliefs. He does not show his anger outwardly towards others or run from adversity. He communicates well and has integrity. He does not say "yes" to go along and get along and listens when you talk. He is independent and dependent when it's needed.

It's very much the same thing as a "real woman". flowerforyou


Could not have said it better, but would add one that can show his true feelings and speak from the heart how he feels.bigsmile

Hmmmmmmmmm...so Lex, are you saying the ride makes the man???

I DISAGREE!!!


No, it's a roundabout reference to the inordinate and inexplicable numbers of car/cycle pics guys use. It never made any sense to me because I don't think it says anything about anybody other than "I own a vehicle," but a lot of guys seem to have their identities wrapped up in that sort of thing.

My own idea of a "real man" is built more around the concept of being able to establish and maintain an honest and open 2-way communication, but that's just not a popular notion here.

These aren't demands or a wish list of the person you are with. These things come naturally over a period of time. I would never demand these things from someone I just started dating or a partner. Alot of these qualities come through trust with your partner as you grow closer together. Alot of people on here have been burned by their partners (both guys and girls). I would never ask someone to "measure up" because that would be selfish on my part. Good qualities are an attraction no matter if you're a guy or women.

A real man is a man who owns up to his mistakes, never leads people on, never lies, does the very best he can in all situations and never tires to let people down...


I was going to say something very simmilar.

A real man takes responsibility for his actions and keeps it real at all times. Also, real men aren't afraid to cry;^]
