I always hear women saying "ooo girl I want me a real man" etc. Then go on to say he has to be tough, macho, loyal, stand up, husky, broad shoulders, assertive, domineering, but at the same time sweet and sensitive. I'm an educated person, and from my understanding a "Real Man" is simply a boy that finally finished the process of puberty. That is it. When women say they want a "Real Man" what they are really saying is qualities and traits THEY in particular find attractive in a partner: Preferences. There are many men out there who don't have broad shoulders, arent very husky, maybe skinny and have a lean body, arent the most assertive types, but can get by if the need to. Don't like to be domineering. Arent the toughest cookie in town, but can hold their own. Just because these aren't the traits you like in a Man does not mean their not a "Real Man"(all a man is a boy thats been through puberty) their just not mean of your particular choice of preference. So why can't you just say I want a man with these traits, or these qualities instead of saying something illogical like "Real Man"? @The Blunt, you didn't read my post. I said the concept of a "Real Man" is a false concepts because a man is simply a boy who reached puberty. What the women in alaska or the college educated women are not talking about real men, but personal preferences. Their personal preferences has no status on the biological status of a man.

You are correct a boy just needs to reach puberty to become a man er "realman" Most women think a man needs to be baptized by a woman in order to graduate to that next level. This is completely wrong. A man is a man because that is what he is. it's not up for debate. And a woman's opinions on the matter are irrelevant. once you start working and taking care of yourself. you're a man. You don't need to win a raffle nor a woman's approval to be a man.
Other Answers:
- A man who doesn't care how he is defined.
- A woman who lives in the middle of Buttfück, Alaska and who likes to hunt and fish will have a different interpretation of "a real man" than, say, a college-educated liberal yuppie woman who lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Since this question is too broad and deals with stereotypes, it therefore has no valid answer. - A man who is loud, boisterous, and outgoing, tall, wide, fights and wins, makes lots of money, and owns a nie car / big truck.
- idk
- This looks more like a rant than a question.
- Got cha. yes in the literal sense understand what it be you say. Let's get more literal here after all a real man is just one who is not a manican or a GI Joe doll etc etc..traits a real man,is one of his word. not a light switch . or a flip flop in what he says. He is loyal as he is faithful. He loves for real and knows how to do so for real. There you go Andrew,like your name,it means Manly you know.
- I actually kind of agree with you.
- There isn't reallly a such thing as a real man, but if you to define it its a man that is sweet and always is there for you
- Lol you are simply excusing yourself to being a soft beta. You can call them preferences, but noone is going to date you anyway. Stop whining and get to the gym instead.
- A loyal non head game man
- You are correct a boy just needs to reach puberty to become a man er "realman"
