We keep hearing about what real men are made of, but most of it just doesn’t make sense. Being manly has nothing to do with how many tyres you can change or jars you can open. The real strength of a man lies in his mind. Here are 10 actual qualities that maketh a man.

1. Fearlessness

Men are risk takers. They go out into the unknown and conquer. They are not afraid of obstacles. They know there’s nothing that can stop them. They’re ready for every challenge that life throws at them. Because life is a waste, if you spend it worrying about the worst.

2. Fighter Spirit

Men never give up. Never. Failures are nothing but great stories to be told once you’re successful. Real men fall, they fail, but they never stop. No matter how hard life punches you, a real man strikes back even harder, every time. Until he succeeds. A real man is a survivor.

3. Standing Up For Your Beliefs

A real man isn’t ashamed of who he is. He embraces himself and wouldn’t compromise his beliefs for any acceptance from the world around. He has the guts to stand against all odds to support what he truly believes in. He can defend himself alone. He doesn’t seek support or sympathy.

4. Integrity

A real man doesn’t demand respect. He commands it. He always keeps his words. When he makes a promise, he keeps it. He knows the importance of words and chooses them carefully. That’s what builds his character.

5. Mental Strength

It is hard to break a man. He may be sensitive, but he is strong enough to not let his emotional breakdowns get the better of him. His mind is his superpower. Every rough phase in life only makes him stronger than ever before.

6. Taking What Is Yours

Nobody in this world has the power to rob a man of what he truly deserves in life. A real man never lets anybody take him for a ride. He knows how to take what belongs to him.

7. Accepting Failure

A real man doesn’t play the blame game. He has the courage to own up to his mistakes. He knows that his problems are consequences of his own doings. Rather than sulking about how unfair life is, he accepts his failure and works towards taking life by the horns.

8. Knowing Your Worth

A real man always knows his true worth. He knows what he’s good at, and he knows what he deserves in life. He knows what he’s born to do and excels at it.

9. Knowing What Is Right

A real man is wise enough to separate his personal bias from what is right. He is always informed enough to take the right decision.

10. Living Life On Your Own Terms

A man doesn’t need anybody to tell him how he should be living his life. He is strong enough to take control of his own life and steer it the way he wants it to go. A real man will never settle for the ordinary when he knows his life is worth so much more.

The society has all the wrong notions of who a real is. Most Indian men feel macho for all the wrong reasons. Here are 7 things that just don’t make you manly.

1. Physical Strength

It’s great to be physically fit, but there’s a whole lot more it takes to be a man. A real man is not defined by brawn. You don’t need to have a killer body to be macho. Neither a beard. It’s the attitude that counts. After all, it was only a frail looking Gandhi who made the British tremble with fear.

2. Your Earnings

You may be the richest person alive and still not have the basic instincts of a real man. If money could buy respect, the world would be worshipping politicians.

3. Violence

Being violent with people, or abusing them, is not a sign of strength. It is, in fact, a proof of your weakness as a man. It neither makes you cool nor manly. It just shows how incapable you are of controlling your own self, how threatened you feel by the smallest of things. Being violent is anything but manly. Real men know better than that.

4. Dominance

You’re not a man if you feel the need to prove your worth by dominating someone else. Real strength lies in fighting fair.

5. Being Insensitive

You know, how they say boys don’t cry. Well, that’s nonsense. A real man is never insecure about being judged for his sensitive side. Men aren’t heartless. They are compassionate too.

6. Your Alcohol Capacity

Whether you get sloshed after a single whiskey drink or can chug a dozen mugs of beer, it says nothing about your manliness. Drinking doesn’t make you manly.

7. Your Appearance

Yes, being well dressed does add to your personality but that’s about it. It doesn’t determine your manliness quotient, in any way.
