    Any adult male person is man only in Humans. In animals they are called just male species.

    A real man takes care of his family.  He doesn't run off and leave all of the responsibility to the women.

    If threatened with violence.

    A real man is a man who takes responsibility for all his actions.

    A real man makes plans to have children that he can provide a safe home for, no mater what is happening in the world.

    A real man knows when to back down from a fight, deescalate family quarrels, brings peace, love, harmony with uplifting stability to a home.

    A real man isn't afraid to share or show his feminine side, is confidant in his sexuality, creative abilities, and feels weakness is only a temporary thing.

    A real man doesn't follow trends or fads, and is constantly checking his ego.

    A real man knows God and obeys Him, so all his family will be blessed.

    A real man doesn't flaunt his wife, and is not jealous of others.

    That's only part of it. A real man knows how to deescalate a situation if possible because no one completely wins a fight.

    Sometimes you have to fight to be a man. Often you need to be the peace keeper to be a real man.

    But a real man also knows he needs to be a good role model to his kids and their friends.

    He knows he needs to be a solid provider of a healthy home for his family.

    He knows his family comes before his own playtime and will often make sacrifices to put his family first.

    He'll teach his sons that manhood is not toxic and to ignore those who try to teach him otherwise.

    He will teach his sons to respect  girls the way he respects his own mother or sister, but also what the two different genders are for.

    He will teach his sons how to defend themselves and how to become responsible men to carry their world forward.

    He will teach his sons to not be deviants or criminals, to respect others and to follow the Lord.

    A real man will have a strong work ethic and instill that work ethic into his sons.

    Any male can start a fight or use his organ to impregnate a female, but that doesn't make him a man. If he is not there to help raise that child and be a provider as his father, and to provide for that family he is simply a sack of s---.

    Not only himself - but those around him.

    A "real man" can find a way to avoid violence. Fighting is a response to fear. That's hardly "manly".

    No, it's not. A real man is someone with integrity, conviction, honesty, honor, an open mind, and who is compassionate and gentle with others, and who happens to be male.
