In as much detail as possible, both pertaining to physical characteristics and personality, what comes to mind when you hear the phrase manly men?

[sadMeester]

I think a man should simply try quietly.

A manly man might work a masculine job, but even if he isn't something like a welder or a logger he doesn't give a shit what people say about it.

A man can care about the people that matter to him and ignore everybody else.
A man should be able to separate himself from the people he owes no loyalty to
He should be able to distance himself from gossip about others and ignore anything said about himself.

Basically a man should have decent priorities. If you think your truck or the brand of jeans you buy make you masculine then you aren't manly. Dress well if you can and if you can't don't apologize. Work hard but don't make a show of it. If you know what you do that's good enough, no need to go shopping covered in soot and smelling horrible just so people know you're a "real" man.

Being a man is about doing things for yourself or those close to you, but never doing things to be seen or admired by the world. If it happens so be it but it isn't the goal
