"..a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do..."
[quoted from memory]
-after six pages of debate:
1) it is not clear (here in forum) what a woman from FSU means exactly by that term...
2) in other parts of the world the term has even more different meanings...
it seems that anybody between the age of consent and death, having male DNA, can be 'a real man' - depending on circumstances.. - the term adds no (additional) information, unless one already know the answer...
-much ado about nothing...
I amjust posting this because when I looked at the cover page on the left it said "what is a real man" and lining up with it on the right it sais sanchopanza. Somehow it did not seem to be the correct answer so now it says ID
Sancho, don't you see that the term "a real man" as well as "a real woman" everybody understands in a different way. And as I said before there is no a common idea of what a real man is for girls here, some believe that a real man is a man over 40 for example, for others age matter is not that important, for some much money and the ability to spend the money without counting them shows the real man, for others something else shows the real man and so on and so forth...I just mentioned a couple of ideas, and there are many many of them!!! You will never get an idea of what is a real man for girls here, IMHO!!:)) But the idea was good enough:)
-Exactly my point!
"....Very well said Ptichka, There isn't an exact definition to the term "real man". So everyone will have their own idea of what it means...."
-and it's not *my* idea that counts. It's hers. -Which I don't know. -Until she tells me that her idea is different from mine...
-by which time we can conclude that communication is extremely difficult if we use the same words to mean different things...
Here you go.
These are results of our survey. What do Russian women mean when they say REAL MAN?
I asked ladies on womens forum to nominate 5 qualities that REAL MAN should have. Every lady has her own opinion on that and it turned out to be very difficult to summarize. Besides I wouldn’t risk to speak for all Russian ladies. So draw your own conclusions.
Here is a list of qualities and number of times mentioned. I hope that it will help you to understand mysterious souls of Russian ladies
Clever (smart, wise) 4 times
Renders decisions on his own in difficult situations 3 times
Loving husband and father 3 times
Able to protect himself and others if necessary 2 times

These are nominations that were mentioned one time.

Now, why am I thinking of a time when I applied for a job, and they said "Thanks, you can go home now. Do not phone us, we will phone you."
And they have not, yet.
