I see plenty of real men; they exist and identify as male. And I haven't noticed any decline in the population of men.

I guess what OP is talking about is the distinction between children and adults rather than men and whatever the opposite is.... I've seen 28 year olds acting like children and 15 year olds acting like adults

and no, just because you are 18 does not mean you are not a child in any real sense

lol, this thread.

Some common facets of traditional masculinity span all cultures and find their origin in genetics. "Real men", in a sense, probably are a dying breed.

as a bearded individual that weightlifts daily, pounds beers by the dozen, and owns and operates power tools on a regular basis i like to consider myself an authority on manliness.

 

and to be honest i have trouble telling the gender of these kids sometimes. used to be long hair and tight jeans was reserved for the ladies. apparently at some point boys decided looking like chicks was cool.

 

but this aint the first time being a sissy was considered trendy, in the 60s we had hippies. i have faith that our gender will rebound.

To be a real man, you have to be a good person, first and foremost. Treat people with respect. Be a good father, husband, and loyal friend. You have to be disciplined and always work hard and honor obligations. If you say you are going to do something, do it. No excuses. No quitting. You get it done.

 

You don't have to be a meat head to be a real man. In fact, a lot of those guys are insecure boys. Real men don't go around starting fights. But a real man isn't a coward, either. He also is man enough to walk away.

 

A real man doesn't let people walk over them. They have morals and principles that they follow. They will speak up and let it be known when they have a problem with something so that the problem can be solved.

 

And yes, real men seem to be a dying breed.

 

Somebody like Atticus Finch is a real man. And that is why people love that character.

Thing is, as part of the male condition, a man's predecessors are always "real" mean and current men are not. I read somewhere that the Spartans felt their ancestors were real men, while they were less manly. Then after Sparta, other greeks looked back at Spartans as the last "real men", etc. Mythology or not, ancient greeks/romans/whatever mourned the passing of the era with "real men" such as Hector, Achilles, etc. Fast forward to the times of our parents/grandparents, they were "real men" because they went to WW2 or whatever, while now people slightly older than us are "real men" because they didn't do metro stuff or wore designer jeans or whatever. Sure, we DO have a bunch of bad/really unmanly samples, the Justin Biebers, the grown men wearing MLP shirts, etc, but in all, I think people nowadays are not "less manly", it's simply human male condition to think like that.

  No, real men are not a dieing breed, trust me, there are people on this Earth that call me...  The man, usually with my name before the man, and it kind of rhymes.  So, this thread is over, I have came just to bring the facts.  If anything, real men are growing at a geometric rate.

Yeah, you're right, being an intellectual is SO much worse than being a douchebag with an inferiority complex.

When have I ever acted like a "tough guy" or whatever it is you have a problem with?

 

The only things that I say that could even be misconstrued as being "macho" is that I'm into physical fitness and martial arts. Other than that, I don't know where you get this perception of me from. I don't go around calling people names or talk down to people.

 

So where does your dislike come from? The only times I remember butting heads with you was in political discussions. But what does that have to do with a "tough guy attitude"?

 

So where does this come from?

I define a real man as someone who would put themselves at risk to protect someone else and/or their family, even a stranger.  Yes, real men are a dying bread...

Depends on what we call a "real man". I don't buy BMDs ideas (though they're not bad things to be at all) because all of those (with genderflipping where appropriate) could apply to what it takes for a woman to be a good person too and the idea that such a thing is a dying breed implies that it was somehow more prevalent in the past. Really stand up people who you could rely on have always been in short supply and there's always been an overwhelming amount of idiots. We don't have any shortage of meat headed idiots who are deathly afraid of anything that could lead to them being seen as girly, kiddy or nerdy though. We're actually doing far too well in that respect.

In the western world they are. If I could pin-point one cause of the rapid decline of the west in the past half century it would be this beyond any doubt in my mind. That said, some cultures are overly male dominated and misogynistic, that is bad too. Going one way or the other too far is bad for a society.

In comparison to the rest of the world it has been very rapid. In history I can't think of any major civilization that has declined as rapidly both economically and demographically. The western economies literally used to be responsible for the majority of global economic activity, today it's less than half. In fact Europe is currently in negative growth both economically and demographically.

In the western world they are. If I could pin-point one cause of the rapid decline of the west in the past half century it would be this beyond any doubt in my mind. That said, some cultures are overly male dominated and misogynistic, that is bad too. Going one way or the other too far is bad for a society.

The west has been declining? You probably should have told someone sooner, this is the first I've heard of it.

In comparison to the rest of the world it has been very rapid. In history I can't think of any major civilization that has declined as rapidly both economically and demographically.

Yet the standards of life in the west remain the highest and it's still the most desirable part of the world to live in. Just because the rest of the world is starting to catch up doesn't mean the west is in decline. If you were to say the last 5 years you may actually be able to make somewhat of an argument but even then the entire world is feeling the slump and not just the west. To say that overall the last 50 years has seen a decline in the west rather than a massive boon would be pretty much raving lunacy.

If being a real man means I can't do the things I want, then I'd rather be fake.

How does one define "real men"?

This doesn't really mean anything, it's not possible for developed countries to maintain such a huge share of the global economy without brutally suppressing and depopulating developing ones over and over again (which will hugely reduce said developed nations' living standards as well). I don't think having the Western world spend trillions of dollars to keep developing countries low tech and low population is "manly". The reason why European countries have declining G.D.P. is because they are all going for terrible austerity policies and contractionary monetary policies in some retarded attempt to reduce their public debt by tiny amounts, it has nothing to do with a lack of "manliness".
