sxc666: How come everything is underlined in this thread.


Because of the underlining in the OP. If we're lucky, it disappears on page two and the remainder.

Sadly, page one is definitely affected.

I noticed this in another thread after the changes. One person (Rilly) made his post bold and italicized, and everything for the rest of that page was like that. On the next page it stopped. So...if we're lucky, this will do that too.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

A real man is only as good as his deeds when no one is looking.

navygirl1: One that can accept me for who I am and not feel he is less of a man because of my intelligence and independence. He embraces my strengths rather than resents them. Guess that is why I am still single; haven't met one that is up for the challenge.


No problem!

As long as she has a common respect!

Of course. It should definitely be mutual...as should many other things in the relationship. wine

Justme4uok: A real man is one who shows respect to his Mother and Father. A real man treats his friends and family and strangers on the street with the same respect as well. A real man loves his children and wife and stays through the thick and the thin. A man that will never lift his hand to a woman's face. Who will treat her like a lady with dignity and respect always. Who shows her how much he truly cares and loves her by telling her and surprising her with flowers at work or home. Cooking dinner and telling her to just put your feet up honey and let me handle the dishes and putting the kids to bed. A real man takes time to teach and show his kids the proper way to go about disputes and teaches them values in life. A real man teaches his children how to respect others and to be kind by example. And when in the presence of his wife, he shows them tenderness and compassion while holding her close. (Nothing un PG) A real man will see someone in distress and offer to help. Real men seek and praise God with their wives and family. Real men do the best they can, they don't cheat, steal or lie to get their way. They are humble, honest and their heart's are soft with love and compassion. Real men can be gentle as a lamb with their wife, children, family and friends. And can be fierce as a lion with offenders.

Okay that about sums it up!!!



I agree with all of it..thumbs up

I think you just described meblushing

Well, I think its someone who can be tough and protective when he needs to be but, kind and gentle at the same time. He doesn't lie, he doesn't cheat, he doesn't play games. A real man should love and understand the woman he is with and roll with who she is, just as she should feel the same. Yeah, something like that.

What do you believe, the true definition of a Real Man is.

Thank You All!


This is a great thread Rilly. It is so easy to make a subjective list and say what I think a real man is but I think about examples in my life.

My exhusband was one of those, we are still very good friends, he isn't extremely macho I know outdated word but is a kind man, witty, looked out for those weaker than himself, liked women, opened doors and is very humble as a person. This list can't begin to explain all that he is.

My grandfather who is 87 and fought in WWII was a truck driver for his career and he is very humble and loves to joke and be mischievous, again not someone that comes across as macho per se but was definitely a strong male figure. He had a bad eye from a logging accident when he was 19 and lied on the eye exam to go serve his country. The story from my grandmother is that during the war he was an MP over some Italian prisoners. They liked him some much they would say "Johnny come visit us when the war is over." He makes people laugh and has a youth about him even now. He is not pretentious and has never had much money but he is a real man.


I do not include my father in this as he was abusive and that's cool but in my mind abusers are not what I regard as "real men".
