Girls, have you used the term "real man"? If so, what does that mean to you?

[Hobobobo]

This topic has bounced around my mind for a long time. I don't want to say much, because I don't want to influence the answers this question gets. Please really take time to think about your answer.

I'll probably have a follow up to this depending on the answers.

Thanks.

No, I don't use those terms like "real man", "fake man", "semi man" or whatever kind of adjective you want to add to the name.

A man is a man and if he lives, then he is real. Life is not like a Hollywood movie that shows things as they do not appear in real life. Hollywood is biased and full of contradictions and only depicts glorification and propaganda for the US.

A man is real even if he is a criminal, a drug addict, a wimp or a simple guy without any special qualifications. He is someone that thinks with his testosterone first and with his brain only after.

For me the term "real man" means man with spines. means who takes stand where he should no matter he is alone no matter how tough it is to do so. Who always face to truth with bravery instead of hiding behind bushes of lies and excuse. Who understands his responsibilities and fulfill it.

someone who isn't a creep, pedo, racist, sexist, homophobic, so there's no real men out there.

That term is very subjective.

That's a good observation. Would you like to answer the question? I would be grateful if you do.
