Are You Dealing With a Real Man Or A Little Boy? 7 Signs You’ve Got a Grown A** Man

June 19th, 2012 - By Julia Austin

This list is to clarify that when a woman says (as so many do on Twitter, Facebook, and comment sections of this website) that she wants a “Real Man” she does not mean a beer guzzling, football watching, gym-obsessed brute that will start fights over her. She means someone who is mature, will treat her like a queen, is ready to be treated like a king and not take it for granted, and most importantly, who respects the sanctity of a relationship. And here’s a few signs that you’ve found a real man:

Calls when he says he will

A real man understands that you have a life and schedule of your own, and that you are not just some toy he can pick up when the mood strikes him. He understands that you deserve the respect of having him make plans, and following through with those plans. So, when he says he’s going to call you at a certain time, he does. Because he understands that if he calls 30 minutes late, you could have moved on with your day. As you should have!

    Communication, respecting ones schedule…these are the two traits that are spot on.

    But to expect a REAL MAN, or PERSON for that matter, to accept blame when not at fault, is truly juvenile.

    Women are supposed to be in touch with their feelings so here’s the advice necessary: trust your instincts, don’t deny your desires, don’t over think things. Forcing yourself to do, or more importantly NOT DO, what you want to do is a recipe for the worst kind of life disaster: REGRET. Carpe Diem and love life’s lessons :-)

    Generally, these traits discussed are not what women are biologically attracted to.

    What would be called a Beta-Male by some is the kind of man described. What a woman may say she wants, but isn’t truly attracted to, because they generally will not turn out to be string or confident, but rather more of the doormat variety.

    The best men will have to be earned. They are very successful, very desirable, and extremely confident. They have many options so you will have to distinguish yourself. And most of this advice will make you seem “just like every other chick.”

    Allowing emotional/hormonal swings to influence behaviors towards others, especially ones significant other, stem from the same selfishness that might cause a man to cheat: this is how I feel, this is my biology, I can’t control it, deal with it!

    And as for “complaining”…can a REAL MAN not count on his string, confident BADA$$ woman to LISTEN to his concerns, feel his pain, offer comfort?

    I understand this article is for the ladies, but it’s a shame that the equality a female expects and the general HUMANITY of a male are taken for total granted.

    I love some of these: like communication and respecting scheduling, but most of these incessant iterations of what a REAL MAN are, really only cater to pleasing a woman and striking her ego; NOT an equal, respectful relationship!

    Listening to concerns is great, but allowing guilt to be taken on when it is not deserved is a juvenile solution for a very insecure female (in this instance).

    This article intimates that the woman is the prize: the exact mentality that causes a woman to lose a REAL MAN!

    Who wrote this article? So basically a real mans only focus is making his woman happy with no expectations of her to do anything to deserve the effort. We must control our emotions while accepting that a woman can’t?

    you want us to be “real men”, within your constraints;

    to communicate, but not how we feel about the world, just let you win all the arguments “for the good of the relationship”;

    and when we communicate, don’t raise our hands or voices in frustration, just listen…but then, you don’t get that silence is HOW we men communicate;

    a man having multiple sex partners simply hasn’t found who sates him; if you want us to commit, you BETTER be our muse!

    we can teach you how to cook–i cook for my muse wife anytime, let her win anything she wants…do you get my meaning?
