Take a look in the mirror. I'm sure the ladies consider the opposite of what you're seeing as being a "true or real man".

I am disappointed, but not surprised by the level of immature answers to this question?

Someone who is sure of himself, but not to the point of cockiness.
Someone who has a sense of humor, not just in regard to others, but when it comes to himself as well.
Someone who is polite, generally considerate of others, and particularly considerate of his family and friends.

He doesn't have to have a six pack, he doesn't have to be a hero, just a confident guy who thinks of others before himself.

A real man....

Is one who is confident in himself without being smug. Will not compromise his ethics to go with the crowd. Will be there thru good and bad.

:)

Maybe you two aren't BSing, but most women and their magazines say this when what they really want is a tattooed biker who just got out of jail, reads at a fourth grade level, and treats them like sh*t. :roll:

A real man is confident enough to make his woman feel proud when she belittles him
A real man is strong enough to defend his woman when she acts like a b1tch in public
A real man knows that money isn?t everything, and will gladly spend all of his on the woman
A real man has a sense of humor that allows him to laugh at himself and mock the woman?s coworkers, but never will he use this to make a joke about the woman
A real man will always betray his friends at his woman?s request
A real man wears a gps device at all times so his woman can know exactly where he is

So basically...you are COMPLETELY whipped?

I feel bad for any man that goes through that.

But of course, you could always be joking.

Change whipped with bitter and I think you'd be right.

Someone with the strength to be completely honest at all times, to not play stupid gender-role mind games, and who is a man of his word and will ALWAYS stick by what he has said he will do.
