why would you not consider yourself a real man?
'Cuz usually in that context, "real man" = macho or whatever, which I am not.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I want a Honda Fit for my next car, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would hope they mean someone who can take care of himself as a grownup.

Maybe I will look at all my single male contacts in LA tonight on Facebook and see who would be good for Allyson.

Although my brain works in weird ways. When I think "real man" I picture the guy from the Marlboro ads... dressed as a cowboy, riding a horse, smoking, gay....

What does it mean when a woman's profile says she wants a "real man"?
If you're lucky, possibly she means she wants a man who isn't a Apatow-esque man child or a spray-tanned dudebro with ridiculous hair.
If you aren't lucky, she's been conditioned by a patriarchal society to expect a man to conform to her own bizarre set of rules, and if you can't do something on her checklist, you have failed at being a real man.
I am a woman and also real, but I suspect that I don't qualify as a "real woman" most of the time.

Also, "Real Man" and "SNAG" are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

I am pretty sure those women are not looking for the Marlboro man or even a hetero version of him. ijs. If that is the only thing in the profile giving you pause, take a shot.

Well, they do love "real manliness" in the Castro.
