silly!!

@susanC yup.

My definietion of real man has manners, is polite, and considerate. He is honest and open and true to himself. He will fight for and defend the people that he loves. He is a hard-worker. He is not spiteful. He respects women and shows appreciation for all of his blessings. A real man is the provider of the family. He is strong, physically and mentally, and is never too proud to exhibit strong emotion. Once committed, he is faithful to only her.Do you get that ?

That's a lot of requirements. If someone gave me a list like that & told me I wasn't a real woman if I didn't conform to all their rules, I would not react in a lady-like manner.

@susanC , yeah. You're a perfectionist.

@susanC It would seem that when people use the word "real" it almost always refers to a personal, idiosyncratic definition, that takes at least a good paragraph to define and may naturally not be shared with many or any. I suppose i am looking for a woman that is real to me, or a woman fits the definition of what I am seeking. I will be true to me, that will have to be real enough for anybody. It is also what I seek and is real to me.

lol...actually looking for a real man for long term relationship.

thank you
