This was an interesting topic that came up at work. Don't ask me why
So the guys on my team helped me come up with this list. Any suggestions to add or delete?

Real men:

Never grill a steak past medium rare.

Can change the oil in their car, change a tire, or jump start a car.

Show respect without being a suck up.

Do not get excited over a restaurant's tea selection.

Can say "No".

Can build a campfire and pitch a tent.

Can take a joke and tell one back.

Can shoot, clean and maintain at least one firearm.

Can throw a baseball, swing a bat, and throw a football with a spiral.

Know how to dress for the occasion.

Can control their emotions at work.

Wear just one piece of jewelry, a watch.

Know how to operate a gas grill or setup a charcoal grill.

Can defend them self in a fight.

Can undo a bra with just one hand on the first attempt.

Can participate in a conversation about a sport they know nothing about.

Can deal with annoying people.

Can go to a party or nightclub alone.

Can ask for directions, eventually.

Always carry enough cash to pay for cash only items (i.e. parking valet)

Can admit when they are wrong (even though they still think they are right).

Can survive one night in the woods.

Always know how much money they have in the bank.

Can drive a manual transmission car (stick shift)

Always keep their refrigerator stocked in case they have company over.

Can install a ceiling fan or garbage disposal without any help.

Use less than one "product" in their hair.

Always attempt to fix a common household problem (leaky faucet, air conditioner not working) before seeking professional help.

If a part of their body hurts, real men give it two weeks to heal before going to the doctor.

Real men prefer a dog over a cat.

so, of course, this begs the question: how would you define real women??

Seriously though, remove all the specific sports related crap. I could care less about football and baseball. Give me a soccer ball or a swimming pool any day, or suit me up in a martial arts uniform. I think what you're defining is more the general idea of the American man. There's probably lots on that list that don't really belong, though many of them do and I find hilarious =p.

This would only apply to American and possibly Canadian men, other nationalities a few of these things do not apply at all.
