Real men get dirty when they work and if possible get close to God's nature.

In its Men's Style section, The New York Times recently published a somewhat ridiculous, liberalism-infused article entitled "27 Ways to Be a Modern Man." While a few of the 27 ways made some sense, many of them were so soft-handed and weak that one wonders if the article was meant as a joke. Sadly, it appears that the writer was serious:
When the modern man buys shoes for his spouse, he doesn’t have to ask her sister for the size. And he knows which brands run big or small.Does the modern man have a melon baller? What do you think? How else would the cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew he serves be so uniformly shaped?

Well, if a modern man is supposed to be a mushy, fashion-conscious crybaby with a melon-baller, then I want no part of it. It's far better to be a real man. So what are the traits of a real man? There are many, and this list isn't comprehensive, but it should be a good start.
A real man:
Has integrity. If he gives you his word on something – or shakes on it – then you can put it in the bank. A real man does what he says he's going to do.Treats people with dignity and respect. He adheres to the Golden Rule: treat others as you would have them treat you. All people get the same treatment, whether he needs something from them or not.
Respects women. For a real man, chivalry is not dead. He will open a door for a woman, give up his seat for a woman, and never, ever abuse a woman.

Two different articles one from American Thinker the other is from the New York Times.
Bush campaign is the war room pouring over this information
Initial reaction, Jeb does all this, why isn’t he catching fire with the voters?
Most of those with an XY chromosome configuration living in the greater DC area fail the Real Man test miserably.
Most, I believe, would have trouble meeting even five of the criteria.
Or he is “borrowing” his wife’s clothing when she’s out of town.;-)
Real men get dirty when they work and if possible get close to God's nature.
This society is becoming too stupid to survive. When the collapse comes, and it will, “modern man” will not survive. No one will have to wonder about the ones who are left.
No, seriously...that is the reason most pretend to obey lists like this...
Wouldn’t a real man know how to make a woman feel like a real woman, beautiful, loved and cherished?
And wouldn’t it be the same for a woman to treat her man so he knows he’s loved as well? I want an old fashioned guy like they were before they were ruined by pc correctness, and all.
And I don’t have a melon baller either. I use a spoon. Unless I was dating a professional chef, do you really need one?
when you have finally understood the riddle of steel.

Rosie O’Donnel must be a real man, she figured out a long time ago that “fire can’t melt steel”.
My bride (35 yrs) insists of dragging me along for furniture purchases...”do these go together”. “ I dunno”. Hell my sox often don’t match. (Let alone shoes)

If it weren’t for my wife, I’d walk around with my shirt buttoned the wrong way and drive with the car’s turn signal light constantly blinking.
Feeling sorry for guys like these would be a waste of time.
Disagree with #19. Not every real man is a smoker or a drinker.
What's that all about ......30 years ago and older cars had LOUD blinkers. Mechanical flashers that you plug in under the dash. Now they are computers generated with very low sound. My wife and my grown kids (when they drive with me ) tell me when the turn signal is on. But the kicker is, if I'm an open stretch for more than 5 minutes....something I. The computer recognizes the fact and gives me the same beep as the failure to put on you seat belt beep. I'm getting too old for this 2015 BS.
This is a different list than the one from the wuss NY Slimes melon-baller. This is from American Thinker. Go to the link.
Modern men think they want to be loved. Real men want to be respected. The love bit is secondary.
I know a great deal about steel but I’ll pass on the whole heart deal.
They don’t want a real man - they want a gelding.
Yes!
