You may be looking for someone who is a “real” man, but how can you differentiate between the genuine from the fake? Usually, it comes down to honest methods.
Take your time to watch and see if his actions and words are constant. If so, it shows that he is genuine and not an imposter.
To make things slightly more straightforward for you, here are 18 things honest men never do.
What’s Wrong With That Word?
“A guy at work described something his daughter did as ‘cute’ and then some guy told him that men aren’t supposed to call things cute.”
Real men aren’t afraid to use words such as “cute.”
Never Avoid Weight Training
“I once had a dude make fun of me for lifting weights because, according to him, lifting weights means I like to be around large sweaty men, and ‘real men don’t do that because that’s gay’.”
When it comes to the gym, real men don’t care what other guys think.
Mirror, Mirror…
“Don’t look at yourself in the mirror because then you’re checking yourself out, and that’s gay.”
Real men aren’t supposed to look at themselves in the mirror? That’s a lie. Men can glance at a mirror and see if they’re looking good.
Cover Your Ears
“Real men don’t wear ear protection when using power tools”
That’s a fallacy. Real men think protecting their hearing is manly.
So Emotional
“‘Real men don’t have emotions’ – hands down, this one makes me the most annoyed and angry.”
It’s okay for men to show their emotions. Real men never hide their feelings.
Time for Some Housework
“Real men don’t cook/clean. What? You must be nuts.”
That sums up what a lot of people are thinking. That is, when it comes to helping around the house, real men never shy away from assisting with the chores.
Who Cares?
“Real men don’t care what ‘real men’ think.”
Yep. Real men never give in to the opinions and ideals of the fakers.
I’ve Stopped Chasing
“Real men don’t stop the pursuit even if you say no.”
Another tongue-in-cheek comment about real men. The opposite is true. A real guy will respect your boundaries.
We Need Some Gas
“Real men wouldn’t let their women pump gas.”
Again we have another fallacy about real men. Guys never stop a woman from filling up a car. It can be a team effort if they are together on a trip. The girl pumps the gas while the guy goes in to pay.
My Feet Need Some TLC
“Pedicures. My neighbor was a navy seal and used to get them all the time. He said nothing was more important than taking care of your feet.”
Real men never avoid getting a pedicure.
Game Time
“Real men don’t ‘play video games.’ I have a very successful life, a wonderful wife, and I play video games.”
A stereotypical image of a macho guy is that he doesn’t spend time playing computer games. After all, he’s “grown-up” and “mature.” Real men never say “Goodbye, forever” to video games.
Can You Take Care of the Baby?
“Change diapers. The first time I heard that… I still don’t know what some of these guys are thinking.”
When it comes to cleaning up the baby, real men never say “No.”
How Can I Keep My Notes in Order?
“Real men don’t use binders. Binders are for women.”
Here is another sarcastic remark. Real men never have their notes all over the place. They can’t handle being disorganized.
Love the Color
“Wear pink, but I love a nice pink shirt or polo shirt on a guy.”
This is a fake belief about real men. Real men never keep away from wearing pink. It’s more manly than some guys think.
I Forgive You
“Real men are supposed to forgive cheating.”
Real men will understand their self-worth. They may give you a second chance, but they won’t be stupid enough to fall for the cheating over and over again.
What a Grip!
“Real men have a strong, firm handshake. Trust me that doesn’t mean anything… Nearly all of the guys in my mental health team have soft handshakes and they have all helped save my life.”
Real men never shake hands in such a way that they will break your hand.
I Like Your Tie
“‘Real men don’t want/need compliments.’ I always compliment things about people when I like them. And men, in general, seem to appreciate it even more than women. Everyone deserves some compliments!”
Real men never shun giving out compliments. It shows how confident and self-assured they are.
Get Professional Help
“Real men don’t get therapy.”
A misconception about real men. Guys who truly love and respect themselves will seek out help.
So Many Wrong Ideas
Society has painted a picture of what a real man is like. Yet, the image is far from the truth. Real men aren’t afraid to talk about their feelings, will treat you like a lady, and respect your opinion. They can fend off displays of their masculinity because they are comfortable with themselves.
