1. A real man doesn't flirt around, double date or cheat on his partner.

2. A real man should either be self employed or working for an organisation, if he is unemployed then he should endeavour to get a job even if the salary is very meagre.

3. A real man should be living on his own, not living in his father's house or squatting with some family members. Even if his father owns a house in the city, he should experience renting an apartment, by doing this, his father will respect him more. Then when his father is no more, he can inherit his father's house and move in.

4. A real man should be feeding himself, either he goes to a restaurant, cook for himself or give somebody money to cook for him, not eating from his mother's pot. He should be the breadwinner in the house and not the bread receiver..

5. A real man should always stand by his word even if his parents are against it. So long as his intentions are honest, genuine and good he should go ahead with it, he should never allow anybody to discourage him when making decisions concerning his life.

So If you think you are a man and you lack any of these qualities then you are far from being a man in fact, the more of these qualities you lack, the more childish you look.
Have a nice week.

lol! Of course you possess all of those qualities.
Btw, the guy after you said number one is wrong, what do you think?
I think the list is not comprehensive, maybe there should be more.

ok. You try

A real man is little more than an overgrown teenage jock.

He sits around watching football and boxing, belching, drinking beer, needs to shower and shave way more often, listens to nothing but old skool music, treats his girlfriend like sh*t, brags about his big truck and expensive stereo and big d*ck.
Hangs around with a group of largely similar friends.
This is a real man, because the aforementioned are the kind that women just go wild for.

The definition of a 'real man' is subjective because everyone has their own version/opinion.

I'm tempted to say 'Exactly'!

Wrong! Real men protect their family in every aspect of life. By cheating on your wife are you protecting her from contacting diseases and heart break? Cheating or double dating can lead to a broken home. A real man will never do anything that will break up his family, he will do everything to keep his family together. Don't forget that in broken homes, children suffer most.

Very correct no doubt. But then, I only concurred on a 'LIGHTER MOOD'.

Actually that's sexist because he thinks she's not strong enough to stand true feminist fight for equality. Meaning no special treatment.

Must it be five? And not ten? Twenty? Thirty?

You can't be staying under your parent with Your wife and children at age 40, that's embarrassing to Your wife. Even if it is bq try and rent one. That's why i like yoruba ppl. They cut their coats according to their size

Oh no at that age that's too much I agree with that even at 28 I don't even feel comfortable and making plans to leave. It allows one have drive to work harder obviously since rent will be due. I understand tour point now

@OP:

'Real man' sounds rather clichelike

I think a responsible man etc. would be better.

Ok

some boys think they are men because they look responsible but they don't have what it takes to have a family, so such are not real men.

I really concur, A real man should defined by his actions and his lifestyle in the longrun
