Show me a woman who says that she want a real man, and I will show you a woman who really wants one of those fictional men described in Harlequin romance novels. I consider it an insult for a woman to imply that a man is not a real man unless he meets her definition of the ideal man.

A real man, you just know when you are in the presence of one. His eyes are pure, his smile melts you, his genuiness refreshes you. He is comfortable in his skin and is unashamed to be who he is. His mana is magnetic.

A Real Woman???? She is who she is, regardless of what anyone thinks. She has an opinion, based on knowledge and understanding. She respects and has compassion for those who deserve it. She has a wicked sense of humor and a sharp quick wit. She has a mind that makes a man think. She commands respect because she offers it. She is Beautiful inside, which only makes her outside Beauty Glow!! She makes her own way in life, yet is able to share with her Man. She expects and requires her man to make his own way and share as well. She Brings a Smile to the face of all she comes in contact with. She will not, however hesitate to.....tell you like it is!!!! This is my definition of a real Woman!!!! You know who you are...... Fooooo...would you like fries with that order? chuckles

navygirl...I agree with you! I don't want to be stuck in a corner or a box either!...Luckily I found a man who didn't want to be stuck in a box either. And we were happily married for decades. (Until he passed away.)...Now it feels weird to be approached by men (at times) who expect me to play out a role. It's just not me at all!...Congratulations for all you have accomplished in your life on your own! Thanks Greeneyes. Sounds like you had a great guy. Men like that are indeed rare to meet and of course the ones I do meet like that are married. Personally; doing things for myself gives me a great sense of accomplishment. I am glad to hear that there are women like you out there that won't play out a role. I respect you for that. Thanks...What were your parents like? (Just curious!)..I grew-up in the 50's and 60's. Back then most of my friends lived in traditional households. But my parents were a little different...My Dad enjoyed cooking and he and my Mom had fun inventing new recipes together. My Dad had a "hand" in everything and so did my Mom. They didn't play-out traditional roles...I was an only child and I always helped my Dad do repair work on our cars or plumbing or other "fix-it" jobs around the house. (My Mom pitched-in and did what was needed too!) We all pulled together to get things "done."...Nobody called me "sweetie pie" names just because I was a girl. My Dad called me "smart" or "sharp" or "on the ball" when I came up with ideas or solutions to problems etc. (He complimented my Mom when she came up with good ideas too.)...My parents expected me to go out and make my "mark" on the world. They wanted me to wait to get married and have kids...Anyway I was definitely raised differently than other girls who grew-up in my era. How about you? Thanks for your responses!

its a semantic argument we are born male or female (The vast majority anyway) we can be at different maturity stages of our life that are given labels school aged , pre pubescent, males and females are calld "boys and girls" those with a 'teen' in their age are also labeled boys and girls, and sometimes young men and young women those above teen age are referred to as young man or young woman until they reach a certain stage of responsbility or maturity when they are often referred to as Men and Women ,.....for me, semantically, a real male is one with testicles and no ovaries,,, a real female is one with ovaries and no penis,,,, a real MAN or WOMAN, is one with a certain level of maturity/responsibility ,,,there are many forty and fifty year old 'boys and girls',,, and there are some men and women who are still in their twenties,,, its all about the maturity,,,emotional and intellectual

And that is why dating can be so difficult these days. I expect these men to be grown ups now, I thought it would be easier, for the most part it is but some guys are still very immature, I have girlfriends too who act like they are 13. It's pretty pathetic.

How would you define a "real man" or a "real woman?" Just curious...Do you have a lot of expectations when it comes to gender roles?
