Just got to thinking about who optimises 'man' from the perspective of men.
The most 'manly' type of (famous, i guess) man that i know would be The Rock or something (see also: outdated references of old fashioned non social media user) or maybe someone like Obama? But i think this is a very female centric perspective.
Who do MEN most respect? On a whole.. as a generalisation, obvs.
Caveat: this is a light hearted thread no intended to harm or insult anyone, but I think it is an interesting topic so please theorise away, if you're so inclined.
