I'm pretty interested in what makes a man a man (besides having a big, *ahem*. Or being Teddy Roosevelt, who was a total G). It's a blend of physicality and disposition that I think can be pretty different for each individual. It's sort of a "fit" thing. Nonetheless, it's incredibly important to most guys. Not having the confidence that allows you to define yourself can cause dissatisfaction in a whole bunch of places (relationships, workplace, interactions with strangers, etc). However, I think one of the manliest things ANY guy can do is:


    Know what you want AND go after it.


Whether it's in your career, in a restaurant, or in the bedroom, knowing what you want is sexy. I think a lot of guys under-appreciate this. But if you ask yourself, "what do I want" in every situation, and you can effectively communicate that to others, I think you're well on your way.

Would love to hear the thoughts of some laides...

I like manly but I also like Milloux's point. Interesting perspective! GO SGland!

I don't necessarily think Milloux's point is in conflict with the point about being manly. Actually, I think it supports it. By virtue of knowing what you want and *not* thinking about whether it makes you manly, you in fact come across as "your own man". I'm cogitating over what makes a man a man, but that's a purely academic exercise. In practice, you don't want to be thinking about what makes you manly. But you do want to be thinking about what you want, which helps you define yourself and create your own presence. All of which is attractive, and yes, manly. That's what I think. ARRR!!!

^Pirates are also manly. QED
