Well, in my experience, it's not the stereotypical stuff. "Big, burly, cut like a Greek god" doesn't necessarily make you "manly". I've seen lots of guys like that who'd turn right around and wear a dress and tell you to call them Simone.
No. To me, manliness is using your strengths (mental and/or physical) to help those weaker than yourself, to defend those who cannot defend themselves. You don't have to be built like the Hulk to be manly, and just being male doesn't make you manly either.
No man, beats on a woman or a child or an animal, just for the hell of it. Those are males, not men.
And they sure as hell ain't manly.
