I'm not talking about the stereotypical "alpha" male social construct BS, NO. I'm speaking here about a man with the following qualities:

1. One who has enormous self-respect. The real man doesn't go about, chasing after and pursuing women because he sees such pursuits are for weak men. He always distinguishes himself wherever he finds himself, in thoughts and actions. He's basically a maverick; a man who hardly subscribes to public opinions and consensuses, and always sticks to his conclusions, which were arrived by independent, critical thoughts.

2. One who has self-control and strong willpower. He always exercises self restraints in all situations he finds himself. Even when he enters a slut-filled bar, he's still able to go straight to whatever he went there for and leave without struggling for the attention of sluts, as other weak men are doing; whenever he sweeps the bar room with a glance, all he sees is weak, thirsty men wasting their money on drinks for overused sluts just to have a night with them. Some sluts approach him but he disregards them and proceeds to accomplish whatever he's there for and leaves. He doesn't compromise his goals for petty pleasure.

3. One who's always determined and prone to achieve his goals. He always ensure that his plans unfolds to results, and would not rest till all is done.

4. One who hardly procrastinates. The real man gets things done. His saying he's going to do something can be trustfully interpreted as something already done.

5. One who goes HIS OWN way. He cares less what anyone thinks of him because he's self-dependent and self-sufficient. He has HIS personal codes and moral compass. No ONE tells or dictates to him how to be a "real" man or even tolerates being told to "man up". His general conduct and distinctive character traits are even enough to dissuade anyone to not even dare use those silly, meaningless phrases on him.

6. One who's decent in character. He's not rude and always act accordingly and appropriately based on his rational sense of judgement and ethical principles.

7. One who's benevolent to people, not some specific gender alone. He's kind because it's right, and not just because he desperately wants to fake an attempt to please. His generosity is unconditional and unbiased. He won't give something his male friend asked for first to a woman.

8. One who predominantly exercises rationality over emotionality. He doesn't allow petty emotions to override his critical judgements. He sees things for what they really are, and accords appropriate, logical judgements. He only allows emotional operation of himself when he judges that's what's required in a certain situation, not because he's been told to act so.

9. One who's decisive. All his decisions are mostly bound to work because he almost always takes the right decisions all the time. His decisions are effective and well thought out.

10. One who rarely approaches people, for whatever reason. It's rather he who's frequently approached by people of all genders. He's highly respected for all the traits listed above. He understands that the more he approaches people, the more respect he loses for himself and the weaker he feels about himself; he care less the respect people have for him.
