Can men handle a woman being real with him.

Rather than lumping all men (or women) together as being the same, it would be more accurate to
understand that people in general are different.
Some men will respond one way and others different ways.
It's better to deal with them as individuals.
It also depends upon how you define "being real".
Honesty is good. But is antagonism, sarcasm, nagging, or beration coupled to that ?
Regardless, I agree that success is better accomplished by learning from one's mistakes
and doing things better the next time.

Any man whipping any woman with a belt whether he used it for other ladies or kept it specially for her is not a man worth wasting a thought on. Can he handle a real woman? Who CARES? But the answer is of course no. A real woman would not be hanging around for a whipping.

Women can be judgmental too.
It isn't gender-specific.
