What does it mean to be a ,,real man''?


I don’t think there really is something like a real man. Although this term is used very commonly I find it offensive and shallow and abominably judging. Surely, it’s natural that we dislike some people and their personality traits, but calling someone ,,not a real man’’ is very harsh and intolerant. It’s undeniable that some traits are  more masculine than other, but if a person lacks some of them it shouldn’t be called ,,not a real man’’. Furthermore,  this term will always be subjective because of the variety of human preferences. In conclusion, ,,real man’’ is a popular term, nevertherless I think its’ usage is nor fair or clever.

    Fair enough. I wonder which traits are more masculine than others in your opinion?

    I see your point. I guess sometimes we might overuse the term ,,real man''.

Roger Federer

Roger Federer is a Swiss tennis player, that can be undeniably described as one of the most outstanding athletes. He is the only player, who have won five times three from four existing grand slams. This is one of the reasons he’s   called by many people GOAT ,which stands for Greatest Of All Time. His legend is so huge, that some of his fans seem to take part in some kind of a cult, rather just supporting and admiring Roger. They name their children in honour of Federer or even feel a stronger bound with a tennis master than with their own wife.Homever it’s not really just his character-modesty and friendlness, that are a factor here. It’s manly about his style, (not observed in a modern tennis)and his perfection playing it. The Swiss man plays offensive, gracefull, majestic and technically impeccable tennis and that’s what’s the most important for his adorers.  http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/tennis/the-cult-of-roger-federer-what-is-it-that-inspires-such-obsessive-dev...
