How to become a real man who will be loved by women and men will envy him, is a dream of every young man. Women like strong, powerful, and manly men. However, it seems that such men are fewer every day. Real man is a dream of every woman. Members of a gentle gender would not be called that if they were not fragile, gentle and unprotected.
Precisely for those reasons, they want with them a strong, secure and accomplished man, who will know to put his foot down if necessary. You need to have your own principles. Women fall for men that have their own laws which they uphold. Sometimes not even putting the foot down, or their own principle, nor strong hands or athletic posture is not enough. In order to become a man and prove your manhood you need a strong heart. Young men prove that they are not children in many ways. Although many bizarre ways of proving your manhood are a thing of the past, in many countries some traditional ways of proving your manhood are still around.
