An exchange of words with a "real" man.

- Video about guy talking about skin care -
- Comments calling him gay for it -

Guy: Taking good care of your skin doesn't make you gay. I bet those that take good care of their skin and are in good shape get 10x the pussy than any pizza face faggot gets.
Me: I agree to an extent. Taking good care of your body - building muscle and maintaining healthy skin will increase your physical attractiveness, but I don't think slaying pussy is something to aspire to. It doesn't make a real man.
Guy: Define "real man." I have a Y chromosome.
Me: What does a Y chromosome have to with it? A "real man" is a guy who stands up for friends/strangers when they're unfairly being picked on. Is courageous in times of darkness and uncertainty. Comes to conclusions himself that may or may not fall in line with popular belief. Preserves the future with the intent of being a virtuous, honest man with an emphasis of understanding the past. If he has a family - wife and kids - he is parent first, a friend second; a friend and confidant to his wife, and a lover second. Within that frame he makes enough money to sustain their basic needs: food, clothing, education. A real man doesn't see let his knee-jerk feelings rule his thought process on certain issues - he's methodical in his steps. A real man can do basic house maintenance such has unclogging pipes of sinks and toilets; he can paint a room; he can check smoke detectors if they're working; simple house cleaning; maintains the air conditioner if he has one etc. A real man also knows how to clean the bathroom - the toilet, rid the shower tile of grime etc. He knows how to cook decent meals, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. There's personal integrity, restraint in both sexual and material temptations and admittance when once is wrong. There's the old "learn from your mistakes." A real man knows his financial situation and adjusts his life accordingly; if he has more money to spare he knows how to spend it by investing or just saving it. He isn't averse to serving his country in the military. This isn't an exhaustive list. Almost everything I said can be self-taught.
Guy: All that is meaningless since it's just personal arbitrary criterion. What you say is subjective. Since I have a Y chromosome I'm a real man. Science tells me. You lose.
Me: Yes, having a Y chromosome does make a man strictly in a biological sense. A penis makes a man - that I don't disagree with. What about a higher plain in a sense of values, morals and philosophy?

Science is God. It tells all.

"Guy" is a man, but is he a "real" man? That is left up to debate.
