12 Signs U Are Dating A Man Not Guy by Mtoluwase(m): 3:10pm On Aug 28, 2014
Ladies, real men do exist – and not those poor excuses
you’re used to dating either. There are fully grown-ass
men in this world and they would love to be with you.
The truth is that you don’t have to settle for whatever
boy comes your way. In fact, you shouldn’t settle; you’re
doing yourself a real injustice. If you’re going to be with
a man then be with a grown-ass man. Simply put, they’re
better for you. They’re more fun. They’re more reliable.
And they’re better in bed.
There really is no reason to date the schmucks you’ve
been dating. Although,to be fair, it can be hard to tell the
difference – especially at first glance. But with time, it’s
easy to separate the men from the boys. In case you need
a little extra help, here’s a checklist for you:
1. His apartment looks like an apartment.
Not a frat house. Not a zoo. Not a garbage dump, but an
actual apartment. He doesn’t necessarily have to have his
own place. Nor does it need to be extravagantly
furnished, but you should be able to distinguish the floor
from the rest of the place.
Grown men take pride in surrounding themselves with an
environment that supports an active and healthy lifestyle.
If he’s too lazy to keep his place clean then he’s
definitely too lazy for the more important things in life.
2. He does what he does because he loves to do it -
He’s more than capable of motivating himself.
This isn’t to say that a guy working at McDonald’s isn’t a
grown-ass man. Unless,of course, that’s where he plans
on staying. It’s really all about the plan. Grown men have
plans to get themselves from point A to point B. More
importantly still, they are driven to do so.
3. He doesn’t ever need a Baby-sitter.
No matter how drunk he is, no matter the situation… if
your man is able to take care of himself and get his sh*t
done, then he’s a grown man.
If you’re dating a guy who needs you to carry him home
after a night out or to keep a leash on him so he doesn’t
go off an do something stupid, then I think you know the
kind of guy you’re dating.
4. When he has a problem, he speaks his mind –
and does so calmly and respectively.
You see, grown men don’t just go about agreeing with
everything their women say. They have a mind of their
own and they’re more than happy to speak their
opinions. However, they do so respectfully and are always
open to hearing your thoughts on the matter.
5. He has his priorities straight – and you know you
are most definitely one of them.
Guys who are lost in life aren’t much more than boys.
Men have direction. Boys have playtime. If your man
knows what he wants out of life and gives all those
things that are most important to him attention and care,
then you have yourself a winner.
6. He takes care of himself – Body and Mind.
His body is his temple and his mind is his high-priest. He
lives by his own religion – his own philosophies. He
understands that in order to feel good, you have to feel
healthy. He’s a well-oiled machine, inside and out.
7. He supports you and your dreams, always
encouraging you and keeping things positive.
It’s the men who tell you that you can’t do something,
that you can’t accomplish something, who are poisonous.
Grown men don’t like to use the word “can’t,” especially
when it comes to the women they love.
8. He doesn’t complain because he knows
complaining doesn’t yield results.
He puts his nose to the grind and produces results.
Bitching is for bitches. He’s a grown-ass man.
9. He makes decisions, but he’s more than
comfortable with allowing you to take the wheel.
There is never a need to have one of those pointless
“what do you want to do?”, “I don’t know, whatever you
want to do” conversations. If you ask him what he wants
to do, he gives you options, not a question or a volley in
response.
10. When he has you alone, he isn’t interested in
anything other than you.
He’s not concerned with the show on TV, the music on
the radio or anything other than getting you undressed.
He’s a man, an animal. And he is more than keen to let
the animal out to play.
11. He admits that he is wrong when he is wrong.
He doesn’t point fingers or try to maneuver out of the
situation. He understands that being wrong is part of
human nature. There’s no shame in it. He understands
that you can’t learn if you can’t admit you’re wrong.
12. He knows your value and appreciates you for
you.
He doesn’t just tell you he loves you – he shows you he
loves you. To him, you are a part of his life. You are an
extension of him.
He cares about you and knows that words fall short of the
emotions he feels for you. He’s not shy to show you he
loves you because you are one of the most important
aspects of his life.

With due respect, I totally disagree. Of course, It's possible for a man to possess all the traits as listed by the OP. Thanks

@op,

I commend your rigorous effort in defining the mold of your "ideal" male specimen. However, I will like you (or other inspired female) to address this little question:

What payoff awaits the guy who has successfully poured himself into such a mold? Or to put it briefly:

What's in it for HIM?
