What is "manly" ? :-)

When I grew up many years ago there seemed to be a certain set of criteria that defined what most people would think of as manly looks, behaviours and attitudes.

I think this has changed quite a bit and I am wondering what men and women consider "manly" today or perhaps it does not exist anymore?

I've thought about it many a time. Its tricky to describe, simply because so many of the qualities I think that define 'manliness' such as bravery, fortitude, dependability, responsibility, determination, integrity and honour are not solely male traits.

Just out of curiosity, how many women are turned on and excited by the sight of classical male competition? I'm talking things like wrestling, arm wrestling, tests of strength, fighting etc?

Manly is a presence rather than something physical for me....

Does not do much for me but I like a man to be physically "superior" ie stronger, taller, bigger than me.

Good point - can you define what the presence is about?

Its a state of mind more than anything for me. A man is confident, assertive without bullying, active, adaptable, and understanding. You could have the buffest 6 pack ever but there is nothing manly about whining, pestering, and being needy.

I omitted it because I failed to see explosive flatulence as having much merit to being a hunter, warrior, provider and protector - I mean if such a man had been inside the Trojan Horse he'd have been a straight up liability to the other Greeks around him.

Interestingly enough, in the original Olympic games the athletes were all said to have competed in the buff - in fact, the word 'Gymnasium' comes from the word 'Gymnos' meaning naked

So what does it mean to the guys when us women want you "to be manly and yet be in touch with your feminine side" - is it a lot to ask? Too much perhaps?

I don't know if would be concidered manly but if stranded on some desert island I could russle up some form of shelter and have caught something for dinner, skinned it and cooked it.

I can't remember the last time I went clothes shopping and I don't go in for grooming products at all or go to the gym. Just clean and shaved. My car is a mess and never gets cleaned out and I don't own anything 'designer' at all.

I concider a lot of the grooming products, designer stuff and gadgets to be completely unnecessary.

As long as I am clean and happy then that is manly enough for me

Easy, you're asking him to be the kind of man who will immediately step in and defend you should ever anyone make you feel uncomfortable, yet also be able to write you a poem or sing you a song.

think for some their perception and how they see themselves as males will be determined by their upbringing..

30 to 40 years ago most kids were raised in the 1 Dad and 1 Mum environment..

that has changed..

chuck in the 'strong' male's post war were it was and still is seen by some as a 'weakness' or 'men dont do that/ feel that way' to discuss certain issue's and its a developing thing..

not sure i've actually answered the OP's question tbh..

I think that is a fair point about the post war perception of man. I know my dad was what I would call a manly man but he had a very sensitive, caring side and was "in touch with his feminine side" before this expression was ever heard of.

I think - but I could be wrong, it is that bit that us women want from men that is emotional intelligence, the ability to listen, have empathy, be considerate and also perhaps to be appreciative of the traditionally more female domains such as cooking, the Arts etc? Does this make any sense?

I'm sure it feels awesome if he can do it well - singing and poems is the easy part, but the bit when you're on a night out and some d*unk slags off the woman you're with, its a lot harder to balance the urge to floor him with adherence to the law.

With regards to celebrities though I do think the likes of Hugh Jackman and Gerard Butler do a good job of portraying well rounded, masculine male figures - you could picture either man lugging a fridge up a flight of stairs or breaking up a fight, but also chasing their kids around the park going 'RAAAARGH!' before tackling them.

Not daft, not unmanly either - polite is part of good manners and shows respect for a woman which in turn is "manly" in my books.

A man who is comforable in his own skin, but doesn't use skin care products. Someone who drives a vehicle with "muscle" But knows where to draw the line. A man who loves women, but not all at the same time. Protective but not overly aggresive.

Brad Pitt is not a manly man but George Clooney and Paul Newman are.

"

A man who is comforable in his own skin, but doesn't use skin care products. Someone who drives a vehicle with "muscle" But knows where to draw the line. A man who loves women, but not all at the same time. Protective but not overly aggresive.

Brad Pitt is not a manly man but George Clooney and Paul Newman are. "

I agree with that - glad somebody else shares this view about Brad Pitt.

"Bill Oddie ... He's not on the Manly list either"

Madonna thinks he's manly, so manly in fact she wrote a song about him:

'Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body'

What is a shallow question - the definition and general perception of "manly" in todays society as opposed to post war?

Nowadays men feel they have to work out, go to the gym, pump iron, build up articifial muscles to feel like real men! In my honest opinion they are going wrong and are being very very shallow and self centered. Those guys who lift weights to look good are ony men in the genetic sense!

"With regards to celebrities though I do think the likes of Hugh Jackman and Gerard Butler do a good job of portraying well rounded, masculine male figures - you could picture either man lugging a fridge up a flight of stairs or breaking up a fight, but also chasing their kids around the park going 'RAAAARGH!' before tackling them."

Manly guys tackling?

Gareth Thomas springs to mind!

Wouldn't want to get in a physical argument with him - but I'm sure there's a few 'less manly' guys out there that wouldn't say no to him 'tackling them from behind!'

A true sporting legend and a seriously brave bloke for coming out the way he did!

I never saw Cracker, but did watch him recently in an old Comic Strip episode 'Strike!' in which he plays a movie producer, coal miner AND Marlon Brando and is amazing in all three roles, he's an incredibly talented actor.

I have just experienced first hand what it is to be around a 'real man'!

Here is my story . . .

As i (a mere female) made my attempt to dispose of the rubbish i remembered my wheelie bin is full to the brim and unable to take in any more in before Friday morning

What do i do? Who can i turn to?!

What is this - who is this beautiful figure in white (and denim!) coming towards me?!

It is my knight in shining Armour, the answers to my prayers, my hero in the night, my God - OBI!! (at which point i gushed on the spot!)

He saw my feeble girlie strength as i struggled to drag the giant black bag (that is actually white! ) towards my front door, he took mercy on me and reached for the bag to relieve me from my suffering

It was then, that very moment i saw the strength this Man (sent to me from the heavens) has as he flung the bag high in the air and over his shoulder, then strolled towards the door

He tackled the wheelie bin in a fight to the death, My heart raced in fear of the unknown, but then - i felt my heart skip a beat as i saw him triumph over the black beast and the lid forced down, finally remaining down in defeat

The gushing continued!

I then fell into his arms wondering what i ever did to deserve such a gift - such a sex god! - and we made our way to the sofa . . . to sign back onto Fab

You are quite right -the process of lifting weights is not artificial and it is one way of keeping fit, strong and build on those muscles.

I think in the context of "manly" it was more meant like a statement that bodybuilding alone does not make a man manly - I dont think any offense was meant.

Some good comments here.

Undoing jars is a male talent but technique is important - Do you ladies want your tops or bottoms screwed off?

Taller than the lady is good - but mainly for getting things down from tall shelves.

As a late 50's guy my 'manliness' is probably more traditional than most.

Soap and shampoo (plus shower gel) are all that is needed, mirror used twice a day.

Hold doors open etc.

Be quietly capable - mend a toy, fix a car, wire a plug, cook a decent meal.

Not boastful but self deprecating.

Was brought up not to cry - but will, sometimes, even to books or films.

Lastly (I may be stuck in one of Funky's time warp/parallel universes here)

Real men wear speedos to swim

If we took steroids or infected stuff or got an operation to put in fake pecks n stuff that's artificial but lifting weights is not it's just doing something for yourself because you enjoy it and want to look good and reach your genetic potential it's offensive to me to say that's artificial if you eat natural lift natural its stimulating hard work. Not artificial."

ah! I see that we have a mis-understanding. I never meant offence to gym goers, iron pumping people. I go to the gym 3/4 times per week and have recently started lifting weights, mostly to strengthen my right wrists that I broke in 3 places following a motorbike accident (no other reaon).

What I meant is that a long time ago men did not have dumb bells and weights, they ate 5/6 courses meals, threw tree trunks over their shoulders for fun and giggles, they were forces of nature, they were bigger, stronger and far more manly than they are nowadays...because life was alot harder and more demanding. I am not criticizing anyone nor am I judging anyone. When I spoke of artificial I was referring to the fact that strength is not inherrent! I might be wrong but beleive me I never meant to offend anyone. My preference is for men who are naturally manly...and if that means that they do not look like a male model, I will ove them for it! My choice, my preference and you have to respect that.

"Some good comments here.

Undoing jars is a male talent but technique is important - Do you ladies want your tops or bottoms screwed off?

Taller than the lady is good - but mainly for getting things down from tall shelves.

As a late 50's guy my 'manliness' is probably more traditional than most.

Soap and shampoo (plus shower gel) are all that is needed, mirror used twice a day.

Hold doors open etc.

Be quietly capable - mend a toy, fix a car, wire a plug, cook a decent meal.

Not boastful but self deprecating.

Was brought up not to cry - but will, sometimes, even to books or films.

"I have just experienced first hand what it is to be around a 'real man'!

Here is my story . . .

As i (a mere female) made my attempt to dispose of the rubbish i remembered my wheelie bin is full to the brim and unable to take in any more in before Friday morning

What do i do? Who can i turn to?!

What is this - who is this beautiful figure in white (and denim!) coming towards me?!

It is my knight in shining Armour, the answers to my prayers, my hero in the night, my God - OBI!! (at which point i gushed on the spot!)

He saw my feeble girlie strength as i struggled to drag the giant black bag (that is actually white! ) towards my front door, he took mercy on me and reached for the bag to relieve me from my suffering

It was then, that very moment i saw the strength this Man (sent to me from the heavens) has as he flung the bag high in the air and over his shoulder, then strolled towards the door

He tackled the wheelie bin in a fight to the death, My heart raced in fear of the unknown, but then - i felt my heart skip a beat as i saw him triumph over the black beast and the lid forced down, finally remaining down in defeat

The gushing continued!

I then fell into his arms wondering what i ever did to deserve such a gift - such a sex god! - and we made our way to the sofa . . . to sign back onto Fab

Absolutely brilliant "

Thank you!

And almost the whole truth

It made him smile at least

I think jobs have a lot to do with peoples idea of manly

A lot of people see jobs like a builder, mechanic etc as manly jobs where as guys who are hair dressers always seem to have their sexuality questioned

I'd still call it artificial because it's a shape created within an artificial environment with the intention to develop a certain contour delineated body. Natural musculature definition is something achieved from everyday activity such as carrying heavy loads at work in building trade or farmwork or being a lumberjack etc

To a point, but that's just perecption. I have always worked in what would be deemed 'manly' occupations, but have known some right tarts (I apply this term to both sexes equally) and posers who cry for their mum when things get tough. Manly is subjective depending on whoever is considering it..

Weightlifting 'unnatural'?

Its like Bambi said further up, in our grandparents days and before, life was far more physical and labour intensive, a man got to be strong and fit simply by doing his job as a coalminer, foundry worker, hay bailer, farmhand etc. These days life and our jobs are far more sedentary, and so the gym is there to offer the kind of weightlifting challenges those who still see strength and physicality as important attributes of being a MAN - there's nothing unnatural about a male wanting to be big and strong, in fact, its as natural as living and breathing.

I'd agree with that Obi!

I go to the gym for entirely different reasons than most.

Nothing to do with looking more manly for me.
