Or not. The point is that members of churches also woke up and found that manliness was ’somewhat lacking’ (as Steve of Careful Thoughts so carefully puts it), and that we need to get it back. Bill at Thinklings has thought about it and made a list of what attributes men should have to call themselves *real men* (in church or somewhere else).

1. Real men have vision (he has a goal and a purpose in life)
2. Real men train (he practices to be better at working towards his goal):
3. Real men are brave (he is brave enough to stand up for himself, his beliefs and his goals)

5. Real men know the meaning of “nice” (he knows how to be nice without being weak)
6. Real men don’t complain, they fix (he deals with problems and set-backs and get the job done)
