What does it mean to be a real man in 21st century ?

There is no such a thing like a definition for a "real man". I think nowadays everyone has their own point of view for that. As old stereotypes point out he should be strong, brave and handsome. Furthermore careless and also dominant. Personally when i hear "real man" first association which comes to my mind is just my prince charming, my dream-boy, my best human. Man without whom my life would be a mess...Guy who give me constancy of love, embrace and care about me every time i need it. Owing to that i reckon that "real man" is a regular man who will let you be yourself every time everyday.
