See IWantToBeARealMan and JockDadNerdSon for characters who aren't Manly Men but are affected by this perception. Contrast InTouchWithHisFeminineSide. On the other hand, someone so manly that becomes parodic is probably in TestosteronePoisoning territory.

A Manly Man is a male character who embodies stereotypical standards of {{masculinity|tropes}}.
There are a variety of ways to write manly characters, though there are some common trends that draw from the broad perception of MenAreTough:
* Appearance:
** He'll be designed to evoke strength and toughness, which will generally land him on the large and/or muscular side of the scale. If he's intended to be attractive, he'll be a {{Hunk}}, and if he's a good guy he'll have a HeroicBuild with a LanternJawOfJustice, but StoutStrength is also an option.
** Unless he's {{bald|head of toughness}}, he'll probably be hairy -- see CarpetOfVirility, ManlyFacialHair LongHairIsFeminine,
** Don't expect him to invest too much in grooming besides the occasional shave, since VanityIsFeminine.
* Personality:
** He probably won't be [[DumbMuscle the most intellectual of the bunch]], since reading is for nerds (unless he's a GeniusBruiser).
** He'll be conditioned to be unemotional (since MenDontCry and feelings are for sissies), at least until he learns the cathartic power of ManlyTears and becomes an EmotionalBruiser.
