Ten Ways To Know You’re Dating A Real Man?? by Beautydiva(f): 6:39pm On Nov 23, 2013 |
A man may be able to put across a great image, but it could simply be a cover for hidden shortcomings, or he could just be totally faking it to ‘get the girl.’Here are some ways to know if you’ve struck gold: 1) A real man values more than just your looks. Is every compliment from him about a different body part? It doesn’t matter how creative he can be, if a guy’s sole focus is on how you look, or ‘talking dirty,’ see it as a red flag. A real man will value your personality, your kindness, your intelligence, and who you are as a person, in general. The things he makes you feel good about will be things that you control, not just results of getting lucky in the gene pool. relationships 2) A real man will never be intimidated by your motivation. A man who has goals for himself, will want to be with a woman who has goals for her own life, too. He will never feel intimidated or threatened by a woman who goes after what she wants. He will want to be part of a power couple, rather than a dictatorship. Be mindful of anyone who tries to keep you from pursuing your dreams. 3) A real man will have more interests than just you. I don’t mean this in a negative way. You should, of course, be a priority in his life — but he needs to have a life as well. Interests, friends, hobbies, aspirations. If a man works his entire life around you, it’s another red flag — relationships should be a great part of your life, but not encompass your whole life. 4) A real man will give you answers. No matter how awkward or uncomfortable a situation is, a real man will approach it, and you, with respect. I have always felt that a mark of a man is how he handles conflict, criticism, and less-than-ideal situations. A man will not dance around answers or make excuses. If there is something you two need to talk about, he will talk about it. 5) A real man is direct. In addition to the last point — there will be no mind games or manipulation in your relationship. A man will be direct, to the point, and honest with you… but with kindness. 6) A real man will trust you. As long as you haven’t betrayed his trust, a man will NOT be paranoid, or snoop around invading your privacy to make sure you’re not doing anything bad. He will have confidence in your relationship. A boy will project his own insecurities onto you, and like termites in a house, will eat away at the foundation of what you’ve built. 7) A real man is cool, calm, and collected. It should be understood that part of what comes with the territory of having a girlfriend, is dealing with her getting hit on. If you’re at the bar together, or if she’s out with her friends, it goes without saying that your girlfriend will get hit on every once in awhile. Instead of letting his primate instincts prevail and beating his chest like an angry gorilla to scare off competition, a confident man will calmly make his position known, and understand that you’re still going home with him at the end of the night. A real man will show you respect. Nothing signifies an empty shell of a man more than someone who disrespects women, animals, or children. A real man will treat you with the respect that you deserve, never force you to do anything you’re uncomfortable with, and never mistreat you. Be honest enough with yourself to walk away from any situation that is dangerous to you, physically or emotionally. 9) A real man will put effort into your relationship. Boys are generally apathetic and just look for one thing from a woman. A man, will do what it takes to make you happy, both inside and outside of the bedroom. Your happiness, is his reward. 10) A real man will make you want to be the best version of yourself, without changing who you really are. A man will empower those around him. He will strive for greatness and therefore inspire others to strive for it as well. This not only includes friends and co-workers, but also significant others. 6 Likes |

Sounds cool and interesting, though no man will have all this at once, you grow into some of these traits over time. The list is more like the ideal man than a real man. A real man should have most of the traits you listed above though 1 Like |

Beautydiva: A man may be able to put across a great Which wan is power couple again ![]() This definitely is a red flag for the authour of this list and is a subtle pro-feminism! A man is the head of the family is that a pill too hard to swallow?. ....what such blind femisnism don't understand is that being the Head is not even an enjoyable position and one will render account and assume full responsibilty for decision made!!! Moreover two captains cannot be in one ship!!! What a REAL WOMAN must do is to NOT sacrifice the most important values in whom she wants to spend the rest of her life with for secondary ones!!! You can't have your cake and eat it When you hunt for and get a Made-Man to marry you chances are that he will not be the listening type......yet every man will listen to his wife depending on how she presents it to him and even when he does not buy your input you have to support him as long as it is not something unlawful cos most times when a man is driven by selfless motives he percieves things in his spirit to take some decisions which you may not understand! Point is the key things you should look for is a man that you can respect because: 1. He is selfless 2. He is listening 3. He is astute in decision-making 4.He has a clear picture where he is headed for and is taking diligent and practical steps to get there. 5. He is not arrogant towards people Headsship in a family falls on the man, make him more of that man by supporting and encouraging him and not demanding he must consult you before taking any decision; men will naturally consult their wives if they are comfortable with the way they present their opinions |

49cents: Which wan is power couple again Where are the red flags? I don't understand why whenever such threads arise, someone has to mention that a man is the head of the household. My question is, what's your point? Did the OP say otherwise? An article says "women, a man who trusts you, listens to you, and has his own goals is the right kind of man", and you're against that? A man expressing concern or interest in his wife or girlfriend and her feelings or thoughts doesn't make him effeminate. Fact. Just as age comes with wisdom, "real man" status comes with responsibility, determination, trustworthiness, and whatever else that makes a good man or husband. That's my personal opinion. Some of the 5 points you listed are similar to what the OP listed by the way. |

49cents: Redflag? I tried boldening but am mobile so I got it messed up yet my opening remak about power couple rather than dictatorship is what I was pointing at! Ooh. I just saw it and emboldened it for you. You didn't say it outright, but it was implied and I doubt I'm the only one who perceived it. As for power couple, lol it doesn't have anything to do with power per se. A power couple is an influential couple. They're envied/admired, and appear to be perfect. Women in power couples are seen as strong, determined, and have minds of their own. Some examples are Barack and Michelle Obama, Duke William and Dutchess Katherine, David and Victoria Beckham, and Jay-Z and Beyoncé. A woman doesn't have to inferior or a subordinate for a man to be the head of a household. The women in the aforementioned power couples still know who the man is. |
