Odd "Real Men" Ideas
So I'm sitting here durning my "lunch" (at work, at 8:30 in the morning)
drinking coffee and thinking about how other workers take their coffee. I take mine black. The male forklift driver I work with takes his with cream and sugar. The female forklift driver drinks those fancy starbucks with whipped cream n shit. so I'm drinking coffee and remembering how my mother thinks black coffee is nasty, when I think/come to the conclusion that "real men drink black coffee". If you think about it, it sounds like a really wierd 'real men' "requirement". And it's just mine, not everyone's. So what are you 'real men' "requirements"? |
a real man has a firm handshake. no ifs ands or buts about it.
a real man protects his family before himself. those are the only two i have. both have special circumstances that can be excused, but the other 99% of the time it holds true for me. |

"Real" men know how to act like "real" men in public - they open doors for others (female and male), move aside when appropriate and have the common courtesy to not intrude on those around them. |

Oh...and I take my coffee black, thank you. On very rare, and special occasions, I'll put a spoonful of chocolate milk powder in it, but other than that...nothing adulterates my coffee. |

One of my first threads was something kinda like this
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=104917 About 4 post down redlemon showed about 4 others as well Just to add about "Real Men". A Real Man doesnt look anywhere but straight forward while talking to another man at the Urinal. |

I hate black coffee (man here, but obviously not a real one by Jason762's standards). I have actually noticed more men drinking and preferring white mocha's, cream and sugar in black coffee, etc. than women, but that probably is just my limited, and biased, knowledge of the coffee world.
So I will come up with a criteria for a real man myself: A real man does not let anyone else tell him what a real man is. (Applies to real women as well). |
Rudyard Kipling Sumed it up well in his poem IF (And yes real men can read poetry)
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream--and not make dreams your master, If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son! |

And real men will stand by their word, and views, until/unless they are proven without a doubt to be wrong... And then admit it with grace. |

Well if we're going with general ideas, I think a real man is old school.
But yeah teflonian, that coffee thing is just some really odd thing I came up with. That's why I said, "odd real Men ideas" Quote:
I always put on my, "Can't this wait until we're done?" face and I respond with yes/no answers whenever possible. |

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. :D * 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. |

Real men never hit a woman, a child, or someone that hasn't attacked them first.
Real men stand up for the underdog! Thought about it, came back to say that I don't consider these to be ODD ideas. Guess I posted in the wrong thread. Real men, kickstart! :D |

I hate when people try and judge me by my handshake. Doesn't mean I shake it limp (ooh, that sounds aweful), but a guy who tries to show he's a "real man" by attempting to crush my hand is often lacking self confidence.
Real can face their SO's and tell them they've been cheating instead of lying (I've seen so many machos jocks trying to come up with ridiculous stories and alibis). Also, on the funnier side, I got this from Kontraband Quote:

From what I've seen working at Starbucks... "Real (Wo)Men" prefer an Americano or an Expresso.
I'm a huge fan of real (wo)men taking charge of their bodies and working out both cardiovascularly and to build muscle mass. Woman ordering an Americano & not-overdone muscletone = ADMIRABLE WOMAN! Man ordering an Americano & not-overdone muscletone = YUMMY REAL MAN! |

I had an english teacher (and I totally agree with this man) that told us all that if you're on the edge at a job interview, and good, firm, confident handshake can make or break your opportunity. |

real men burp loudly after dinner and then let one rip..often with a chuckle..

I'll add my vote for the handshake. The most "manly-looking" guy loses all points if he has a limp-dick handshake.
A real man knows how to drive a car with manual transmission. A real man can look you in the eye when he's talking to you. A real man doesn't flee from his responsibility to his children, spouse, family or country. A real man doesn't lie about his age. A real man doesn't make promises he can't keep. |
