What Does An Man's Man Mean Exactly?

[abbeylee90]

Basically this guy I volunteer with he 60+ single with no kids and someone that's known him for 20 years said he a man's man and a pig. He has stopped offering me lifts pr asking me to go out for lunch or places with him.

[Barsel]

A man's man is someone who prefers the company of men although not in a sexual way.

They like to talk about things they think women wouldn't be interested in.

 

[bookbinder]

It means that he's not keen on associating too much with females. He probably can't handle a female's conversation.

[Hazlinny]

Abbey/  I thought you would be pleased he had stopped offering lifts, lunch, etc.  At least according to your previous posts.

My interpretation of a "man's man" is a guy who prefers to go out with the lads, down to the pub, playing/watching sports,etc. though he may till enjoy woman's company.  Yes, definitely one of the lads!

[abbeylee90]

I am glad especially after that comment from the lady who known him for 20 years it made me think well I don't want to be like him when I'm in my 60s

Abbey, how can you be, you're not a man.

[barry1010]

She doesn't want to be single and childless

[jennyjoan]

abbey - you're a headcase cos I think you have been around the block

[barry1010]

JJ, I hope your definition of that phrase is very different to mine

[abbeylee90]

Yeah i mean when I'm his age I don't want to be on my own so I stick to going out with my friends and waiting for the right guy.

[barry1010]

abbey, now he has stopped offering lunches and lifts you needn't give him another thought.  That's one problem sorted.

Did you get your wages sorted?

[abbeylee90]

Yeah coz I started 4th August last month and got paid last Friday only paid up until Friday before 

[barry1010]

So next pay day you'll get a full month

[abbeylee90]

Yes 

[jourdain2]

So that's good - you are finding an even keel.  Stick with it dear.

There are benefits and snags both with being single and with being in a partnership. Nothing wrong with being at ease with your own company. But if it's not for you, then it's not for you.

[dave50]

I couldn't think of anything worse than going down the pub with a load of other blokes, I never have, even when I was a young lad. Give me female or mixed company any day.

[barry1010]

If it is said with a nudge and a wink it means he is a closet homosexual

[abbeylee90]

He hasn't asked me to go anywhere with him at all recently think he might sense it?

[Squitty]

He may well be reading what you write about him on here.
