When you talk about men and what makes them manly, I'm reminded of the song by Westlife called "What Makes a Man" and I'd like to quote my favorite parts:
When you apologize, no matter who was wrongWhen you get on your knees if that would bring her homeTell me what makes a manWanna give you all his heartSmile when you're around And cry when you're apartIf you know what makes a manWanna love you the way I doGirl you gotta let me know
For me, being "manly" means you can do your tasks...
