In your opinion, what does it take to be a real man?

[RybenZ999]

What makes someone a man?

I really think the western aspect of masculinity focuses upon self determination and will. So a real man is one who understands what they want and adapts themselves to pursue it relentlessly with the understanding that the effort they put in is worth it.

You should focus on what makes a good man.

XY Chromosomes, the rest of it is just window dressing and other peoples desires. One of those Roman guys had a good point with "stop arguing on what a real man is and be one"

Trauma, alcohol, and emotional repression are all critical core aspects.

He probably shouldn't be FTM either.

Since this is explicitly opinion:
Discipline, self-effacement and a willingness to sacrifice for others. Doing good for the sake of doing good, virtue as its own reward.

(Also regular showers)

 

[Brenda Holiday]

Real men are secure in their masculinity and don't feel the need to constantly prove they are men. It should feel as natural as breathing. Insecure men showcase very feminine behavior they may not even be aware that they are doing. A sense of duty, sacrifice, and motivation.

 

[Mnutu]

All that and a pair of testicles.

 

[Hateocracy]

Not making threads like this.

 

[Mark Robinson BussyLiquor]

Humility and the unwillingness to take personal vengeance.

On both fronts, I am not a real man ...

 

[I'm Retarded?]

having a miserable little pile of secrets

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Having a dick and know which holes to put it in.
