I often read here and on other websites "a true man does/would do/..." or "a true man doesn´t/will never do...". It might be a lame duck on here but I personally find it hard or at least not that easy to define what a true man realistically is. Coming up from a rather female dominated household and a family where the women are the rather extroverted (maybe dominant) characters. My father was there for me don´t get me wrong but he´s not that much of a rolemodel to me when it comes to terms of manly characters. That´s so mostly because he´s way older than me and he lived in a completely different time choosing a completely different way of work. I´ve been curious how you guys would define it.

I mean more in terms of character and behavior less in terms of physical attributes.

Sorry I thought I could give two MHOs to each gender which isn´t possible for me.
When a guy owns up to his crap. I hate when guys blames people for their own crap and I dislike like that in general with people too. I hate guys that are in denial when you confront them about something that they did and say then lie right to your face.
I think it's almost impossible for a non man male to answer this question. I think I didn't arrive until I was into my early 40s. Perhaps im still not completly "a man" but certainly more mature than I was.
To me a boy would be someone like Colin Kapernick. Best example I can think of. I wouldn't think it if he had taken a knee. Dont get it wrong. You won't get it right if you are resistant to what Im getting at.
I grew up on punk rock. I lived punk rock. not "I went to college and had a punk rock record" or was in a punk band for 4 years. What I am saying is that I took it seriously and lived it and it was disastrous. If you don't know what I mean by "punk rock"You are not the ugliest girl in the world. You're probably not even a 4. You are likely just depressed and beating yourself up over it. And this is coming from someone who LOATHES being short probably more than you dislike your supposed "ugly looks." If people aren't taking it that seriously, then you likely aren't ugly. You're probably a 5 or something, thinking that's a 1.
And it's true; ugly guys DO have it so much worse. If you wanted to, you could get sex whenever you wanted, even as an "ugly girl." You just likely don't want that. Ugly/short men get NOTHING. No supporting comments, no "pity sex," literally nothing.
As implied by your current responses on here, you probably ARE getting plenty of positive attention from men. But they aren't "good enough" for you because "I don't care about them." In which case, nothing we say or do can help you. Not that ugly/short men would even get this much support from internet strangers, especially those of the opposite sex. I feel like society in the west has went "punk rock". You may not agree with me or you may hate me for saying that. But it's basically immature and I used to hate people like me who would point it out. And then one day I grew up and realized that other people feelings mattered and not just what I wanted to do with my life. That my actions and choices weren't always just about "how I wanted to live my life". Or rather they should have been about more than that.
So im typing my reply and all of a sudden half of someone's reply I had made a short comment about splits and places itself inbetween my comment. I was editing and it look down. Crazy. Wtf causes that?
Ok, I have had enough of this bullshit with anyone on here with a serious problem in their sexual position in life. Stupid ass questions about "what makes a guy a man in your eyes?" is nothing but an attempt to continue a self-deprecating conversation that Men have been easily lured into.
Let me start with the biggest lie of all the 80% - 20% BS that you fucking idiots believe (not gonna hold back on the sentence enhancers... I'm pissed!) Do any of you even realize just how imfuckingpossible that would be? No, you don't... because just like any other cult, they relate with your deepest fears and tell you it's not your fault.
Nope, nothing is your fault... yeah. blame it on that cloud in the sky... All that says is that you do not even control your own life and are nothing but a puppet that can get a Seagull to make you dance if it wants. In that case... please just take that final walk into the unknown... it may be more to your liking.
Back to the question. What makes a guy a man in my eyes? The simple fact that he knows that he is a man... and nothing more.
Sorry to hear if you feel attacked by my question. I just feel like many guys don´t know that they have a certain responsibility in their action with other people.
I don't give a fuck what you think, since you have obviously made clear what and who you are. I bear no good will for you at all... Do you even have a clue where I'm coming from... no you don't and that is because your brain is so warped it is beyond repair. Do the right thing... I'm done with this not going to change a damn thing discussion. Here is both my middle fingers up for your lame ass excuse. You knew what a bullshit question this was and the absolute hate it would produce... congrats mission successful!
Some of these opinions were hilarious (I’m not being sarcastic) but in my opinion, what makes a guy a man in my eyes is when he’s being himself, loyal to his partner, cares about people around him, owns up to his mistakes, is trustworthy and a respectful guy.
A real man embodies many of the things our male ancestors needed to have when they decided to create civilizations instead of simply yelling & screaming at each other like wild animals. I wrote some MyTakes on what I think the ideal man is: https://www.girlsaskguys.com/user/hahahmm/takes
"My father was there for me don´t get me wrong but he´s not that much of a rolemodel to me when it comes to terms of manly characters. That´s so mostly because he´s way older than me and he lived in a completely different time choosing a completely different way of work."
I am not sure how this disqualifies him. Yeah there may be some practical issues because he certainly didn't have to deal with Only Fans girls who scream at you for opening a door but typically older men from the prior generations are the most masculine.
Look at a lien develop his character which is very rare these days.
A man who’s not afraid to speak his mind. A man who doesn’t have double personality doesn’t have one personality for hot chicks and one for men. A man who is not a slave and doesn’t worship pussy. A man who takes risks for success. That leaves anything it takes any risks to get to his goals and man who doesn’t talk about his hardships in the past. And etc.
Respect, responsibility, morals, how he treats people. People who constantly try to assert dominance in life, are insecure, and worry too much about another man taking dominance first.
Since objective reality doesn't exist anymore I can identify as a fighter pilot and live out my dreams without racist bigots telling me I'm not a 'qualified pilot', whatever that means.
A true man for example will do what he thinks is right, even if someone else feels bad about it. Even if he's getting peer pressure. Even if it's hard emotionally and he'll get shit for it.
If a guy for example believes strongly on a subject matter and voices his opinion but backs down because a woman he likes disagree he is what many would say is a bitch. Not a man. No spine
Somebody who values honesty and believes that somebody's word is one of the most important things he has. Somebody who sacrifices for his family, is responsible and competent.
All lot of things, good morals, drive, and follow through, and choose right over wrong always, so basically boils down to You do what you HAVE to do not what you WANT to do.
A real man always tells the truth a real man has manners a real man isn’t afraid of showing emotion a real man pays court ordered child support a real man doesn’t hit women a real man admits when’s he’s wrong
Someone who is over 18 & has xy chromosomes is a man. Of course there are desirable personality traits in men but a lot of what people say makes you a "man" is just cultural bias or their own personal agenda so I'm not a massive fan of terms like be a man or be a real man
Well a she is supposed to conceive with him - that'd make him a man. The abortions and preferring men who already experienced them is the moronism of the females of the developed world. They kill fetuses and then look for a dumb ass to support them in doing more of it. And they call it 'a man' (like they call you gorgeous for letting them conceive with someone else and then accepting to raise that baby - pure disgust invoking in me)
RESPECT!!! RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT!!! If he isn't respectful towards his parents, teaches, me, etc. its a big issue. Boys are disrespectful. Men are respectful!!!
