What does "a real man" mean to you?

1. Real men...
drink cheap beer and eat baloney sandwiches while watching American Bandstand re-runs in their underwear. But I think this is common knowledge.

2. "I know it when I see it." Justice Potter Stewart

5. Seriously though...
I think that a real man is tough but sensitive, and confident enough to show a feminine side.

A real man is caring.

Macho = the opposite of a real man.

Just my opinion.

6. A real man...
posts on DU while eating Cocoa Puffs for dinner while wearing Pop Tart pajama pants and loosely-buttoned pink dress shirt; listening to She & Him, M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel's side ego-project. He does all these things mindlessly because he's comfortable in his skin and secure in his masculinity. He's egotistical...but it's because he rocks.

He's me.

8. A pair of testicles
Honestly, anyone with testicles is a man

And if they also have a vagina, they are a Hermaphrodite

Men can be whatever the fuck men they want to be
