...sounds good, but I think it is missing respect and tolerance for others. The above could be a definition of a real man, but if being comfortable in their own skin means going their own way regardless of other people, it could also be the definition of a completely arrogant tosser.
I rather like the way the thread has curved onto people putting in their penn’orth of what works for them. It isn’t always easy to define what works, because sometimes things work for reasons other than why you think they do. Anyway, my definitions have changed as I’ve got older and hopefully wiser.
There’s a big difference between “a real man” and “a perfect man” though, isn’t there? (Other than the fact that the perfect man doesn’t exist, I mean). But one can have a list of what one thinks one would like to find and what is or isn’t important, then meet a “real man”, and discover that love and lust can make that list go completely out of the window.
