@Ozzy. I very much agree with your points, pal.
@Myra. You’ve got a really good man there 😀

I totally agree with you, Mark. There are times I think my husband is too perfect; hard working, supportive, well-respected and has a great reputation in his industry, he always has new dreams and goals and a plan to carry through. He can do anything he puts his mind to. Helps with the kids after he comes home from work and finishes chores here. He stands up for what he believes in.
I put every ounce of my trust in him that he will always be an amazing provider for our family and be the best husband, dad, and MAN he can be and I could ever ask for because he takes the responsibilities and acts the way a man should.

Agree, but stuggling with the clean car will make amends.

I would also add that when woman choose jerk over the “nice guy”, it’s because of the balls, and the excitement. So those are the positive traits of the jerk that woman love. Of course, real man also has those traits, and those self proclaimed nice guys lack those things.

Totally agree Mark. Everything is on point, and every girl who respect herself enough will appreciate all those qualities. Girls with low self-respect and low self-esteem are attracted to jerks. And also, a real man should be exciting, a little bit misterious, and unpredictable. Boring and clingy nice guys are big turn off to many women because they are no challenge.

for me, those qualities are nice to have. But just do it for yourself. Not because of a woman. Do it because you want it and feel good about it.

I agree on all 3 Mark for sure. Doormat will be kept around to pay the bills while she sneaks out with his best mate or some other guy who will take advantage of her (not in a bad way).

Cleanliness, I find more girls to be chaotic in this realm then the guys. Based on having roommates through college. It goes on both sides, she finds his video game habits unattractive, he finds her constant cellphone/facebook use the same.

Purpose, this generally comes when she’s ready to settle down to be a mom, wanting you to provide the best life you can for her n the rugrats.

In reply to Charles. @Charles. No problem. You make a fair point.

Please understand, I didn’t see it as controversial. Your perspective and insight is most valuable. In my statement above when I say who told you, I was not directing that at you
(Mark) It is a statement to all, I see now that the way I worded it it seems directed toward you personally. My thoughts where along these lines. We are told who we are and who we are not from birth by well meaning parents, teachers, family, friends, media, ect. A real man should be this way not that, a real woman should be that way not this. The experiment I mentioned was directed to all, but then I did want to see if you would do it and then tell me what your experience was after you did. I would like to know.

I do apologize for the way my questions appeared to be attacking in nature.

Dang I am a bend over backwards pleaser to all, do way to much multi-tasking to get anything done, and though I am clean I do have a messy car and desk.
Time to change my habits!
Thank you Mark!

@Charles. A real man is an authentic man. A man who is being true to himself.
Who is being authentic by being someone else’s doormat?
Who is being authentic by having no direction in life?
Who is being authentic by being disorganized and/or unhygienic?
None of my points should be controversial. A real man is simply authentic and true to himself.

First of all define what it means to be a “real man.” Where did this definition come from?
Who told you what a real man is? Who decides this? I think that it is time for us as a species to decide who and what we really are. Who decides who you are? How about this, here is an experiment you and everyone else on here could try. Go look in the mirror, look yourself in the eyes and ask yourself “who and what am I?” Give this a try Mark and get back to me.

Really nice article with great points. I agree with you up to a point but wearing nice cologne has nothing to do with being a real man haha.

@Mike. Yes agreed on humor. Not a comedian, as you say, it’s just about being light-hearted.
Thanks to everyone who commented 😀

@yuval. Well you’re making an assumption there that men who remove body hair are doing it for women. They probably just like it better themselves and are unconcerned about what women think.
@Katherine. Thanks for sharing.

@Nick. Glad to see you make the jump from 5×5 to THT. Regarding your purpose, what is your heart’s desire? What are your talents? We all have something we’d love to do that beings no harm to others. If still no clue, perhaps make a list of the things you really DO NOT want to do, then consider their opposites.

By: Mark McManus

Mark McManus — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 19:08:55 +0000

@Edi. Agreed. Times to seem to be changing (thankfully).
@Trampas. I think there’s a collective responsible society needs to take for turning men into pushovers. Men need to accept their own role in this for ever allowing it to happen.

i totally agree with you mark and you make your points very well. maybe i could add one more? Humour.i believe women like a man who is funny, i dont mean you have to be a stand up comedian but just funny in general. it shows you have confidence in yourself and it lightens everyones mood and people feel happy and confident around you, and it emphasies that you dont take yourself too seriously. you can still set your own goals and be positive and stick to your opinions as you say but carry it off in a manner people can relate to on every level.

A real man should respect his woman, put God first in everything he does and have the humility to admit that he himself is fallible and susceptible to error and mistake. But well done for the sick article Mark. You the man! God bless

I agree, but also self confidence should be added. I lost my self confidence and fell into these three mistakes after the breakup of a long relationship. I am starting to try to pick up the pieces, and it’s been over a year since the breakup. I started to display my unhappiness openly and unselfishly, but now I see how blatantly unattractive I really am. Thanks for sending this email. I will use it to pick myself up.

Mark.. I think you are absolutely correct and if a woman didn’t think these three things were “attractive” she may need to look in the mirror and ask herself if she is dysfunctional because of past experiences, mental illness, rebelliousness or”fill in the blank”…

TOTALLY agree with this. From a girls perspective I love a guy who can protect you and be your security. Hygiene has a HUGE part to play in the relationship, and I have been with guys that do nothing but laze around in their free time and are ‘too tired’ to go out and do things. A woman likes to have someone she can do normal everyday things with like going for a walk, going to the cinema or going on a trip with. You are totally right with regards to these unattractive qualities 🙂
