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The most 'manly' type of (famous, i guess) man that i know would be The Rock or something (see also: outdated references of old fashioned non social media user) or maybe someone like Obama?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.

In my experience it's Henry Cavill (though most of my social circle are geeks and he is their king).

Most of the men I know (aged 40s and 50s) admire/respect

Mandela
MLK
Marcus Rashford
Keanu Reeves

None of them really go for the "manly man" thing - maybe you grow out of that?

Yes the manly man thing is a broad stroke iyswim.
I think some men wouldn't look up to actors, too 'poncy' (obviously not my opinion!).

A new suggestion: Paul Scholes? Paddy mcguinness? The top gear people?
