Well, I guess I'm a real man, then...
I definitely agree with those two, except that I'm a woman. I've been told several times, when meeting people, that I have a VERY firm handshake. They usually ask me if I lift weights or something, which is hilarious... why would a woman need to lift weights in order to have a firm handshake? It's more about attitude and confidence, if you ask me. (In any case, I do lift weights, but it doesn't matter.)
My standards for a real man include:
* Real men express their emotions without hesitation, and are not afraid to cry in front of their women.
* Real men do their half of the chores without whining about it.
* Real men love to cook.
* Real men wipe the toilet rim with TP after they go pee (though I don't care if they leave the seat up or down).
* Real men do not let work overcome their lives, and they prioritize time with their loved ones over everything else.
* Real men admit when they don't know how to do something, or when they've made a mistake.
* Real men are not couch potatoes.
* Real men ask for directions.
* Real men are willing to go to counseling.
I'm sure I could think of more off the top of my head, but I gotta get to work.
