What is a “manly man”?

What is a “manly man”?


This is currently the question of the day for from a conversation I had along having read this term before on various websites and profiles of both genders. It has left quite perplexed as well as pondering when a male refers to himself as such is he lacking what both a gentleman and man have?

Is he this insecure with himself that he has to toss in the “manly” part?

Does he even know what a gentleman or man is supposed to be?

Is there a new body part or parts that come with this “manly man” critter that the other two do not possess?

Does he believe that using this type of terminology of being a “manly man” will sweep me off my feet? If he is trying to sweep me off of my feet he just failed miserably due to what libido was raging within my mind and body just got flushed down the proverbial toilet. Along with my eyes rolling back into my head knowing that there will be no sub space to obtain with this one due to he is more full of it than a cattle feed yard.

I have found the reverse term used as “womanly woman” that men will post more so than women. What does this mean? For me, the softer tone of being referred to as a lady is more appealing and appeasing to one’s ears.

Therefore, if someone is able to explain to me what in the world possesses people, mainly men, to use these terms when they do not appear to have an extra exterior body part or parts to separate them from the rest, then what are they trying to convey about themselves to their perceived audience?

Thank you,

A little filly named Pegasus

Wow. What a perplexed question. I know what a gentleman, an arrogant ass, a macho stud and even a player is but, a manly man?
Is that one who works construction or works out?
Is it one who thinks they are gods gift to all women or gods gift to all?
Is it a man who is more man than most men....?.... Maybe
Then how are "most men identified" ?
In conclusion how does one become more manly than most men?
Not sure....sorry

They've been given the task to stand out among the others here.To have perfect physical features and an ever present sense of studumb in their sexual prowess.

The kind of man that makes up his own mind whether to wear Bermuda shorts or
dress slacks to Mike and Kevin's baby shower.

Using more than all the road!

"Manly man" .... Not feminized by todays western culture [since the mid 1970s].

"Gentleman".... Today? A doormat. A baffoon. Poser. Could be considered gay. Could be considered a "Nice guy" [aka: A wuss].

"Man"... Endangered gender. ....Girls want to be him. Boys don't know how to grow up to become him. Women are doing their hardest to feminize him.

======================

is he lacking what both a gentleman and man have? .... Not lacking... he's better than them.

Is he this insecure with himself that he has to toss in the “manly” part? .... No. He is making a distinction. He's telling you he isn't feminized by todays western culture. He's not going to hold the door open for you either, nor buy you drinks to fuck you.

Does he even know what a gentleman or man is supposed to be? ... Yes, and he intentionally avoids being the "Gentleman", and he's escaped the grip of the femininazis.


Does he believe that using this type of terminology of being a “manly man” will sweep me off my feet? .... No. What the fuck for? ..."Sweeping a woman off her feet" is not the objective anymore. There is no benefit, nor incentive to do that.


I have found the reverse term used as “womanly woman”
... Probably means she does not support all the feminist nonsense of today.

For me, the softer tone of being referred to as a lady is more appealing and appeasing to one’s ears. .... No... "Ladies" don't exist anymore. Your are all Just women now.

what are they trying to convey about themselves to their perceived audience? .... Mostly he's conveying he is not going to "Ask" you if he can have sex with you.... he is not going to buy you drink and food to have sex with you.... he is not gong to hold the door for you.... he is not gong to stand when you enter a room.... ......If he wants you, sexually, he will take a hold of you ..... you just have to say yes or no. Don't waste his time. And he is not going to waste time being the friend you need to tell your problems to, .....he will tell you to go see your gay buddies or girlfriends for that.

That pretty much covers what a manly man is today.

Manly man is a guy who does and enjoys traditionally masculine behavior but lacks sophistication, charm or tact. Which gentleman have. A man is guy who accepts responsibility for himself and others.

I believe the current consensus is that Vladimir Putin fancies himself a manly man. I think it's kind of weird that he fancies himself, but we aren't here to judge. Donald Trump also fancies himself a manly man. He isn't and it's extremely weird the way he fancies himself as well, given his repulsive appearance and obnoxious personality. I tend to think the manly man thing is a crock of shit that exists only in the minds of man/boys who are still living at home with mother and spending her pension check while reassuring themselves that their ship simply has not yet come in. You did ask for opinions so I will proffer mine. Stay away from anyone who advertises his manliness. If a product is at all worthy you shouldn't have to hard sell it- it should sell itself. Caveat emptor.

Maybe it is a futile attempt at positive pr. Whatever a guy calls himself he is what he is.

Please don't let me be misunderstood.

We each have our own perceptions of what each one of these terms mean to us along with how they further create what wets our appetites and thirsts. The above comments demonstrate this quite well.

I want to thank you each of you who have been willing to share their opinions and thoughts on how they perceive these terms of a "manly man", "gentleman", "man", "womanly woman" and "lady" based on the Realm of Today.

Thank you.

You should ask him what he means by saying that. Couples today come from such diverse backgrounds what one might mean and what he is saying may be to different things.

All you have to do is say.. I hear manly man and think of wife basher.. what do you mean when you say that?

Thats the confusing point of it all. YOu can judge him by his actions till you learn to comunicate with him and he you.. but sayijng. I heard you say can and I am trying to say... what did you hear..
will get you closer to your goal.

I hunk it is something that one correlates directly from the thought processes when referencing to a cuckold and a bull, but that is just my guess
