If you want to know what a real man should be like according to women, you’ve come to the right place.

So, without further ado, here are 12 characteristics of a real man.

1. Responsibility and Independence

Independence and responsibility go hand in hand. A real man takes responsibility for his actions and choices, demonstrating accountability and independence in all areas of his life.

Honesty is the cornerstone of masculinity. A true man is honest, reliable, and principled in his actions. He takes responsibility for his behavior and consistently strives to do the right thing, even when no one is watching.
