What Makes a Real Man?

According to Esquire Magazine, these are some of the qualities of a real man.


DEFINITION OF A REAL MAN (Esquire)

-A man doesn't point out that he did the dishes.
-A man welcomes the coming of age. It frees him. It allows him to assume the upper hand and teaches him when to step aside.
-A man gets the door. Without thinking.
-A man knows his tools and how to use them -- just the ones he needs. Knows which saw is for what, how to find the stud, when to use galvanized nails.
-A man is comfortable being alone. Loves being alone, actually. He sleeps.
-A man does not wither at the thought of dancing. But it is generally to be avoided.

We invite you to add to the list.

Kim has emailed us with her additions to the list:

1. He doesn't lose his temper (ie. when you spill a cup of coffee all over his tax documents)

2. He doesn't understand your shoe obsession but still buys you a new pair when you say they're sooo cute.

3. He will get up in the middle of the night to kill a spider or clean up after a sick dog without complaining.

4. He never compares your cooking to his mother's! (and NOT because he understands he'll never get another cooked meal again)

5. He NEVER throws the remote at the TV when the batteries go dead:)

He can change a diaper as easily as he changes a car tire.
