Ladies Man vs Man's Man

(for the women of the world)

Upon reading the title of this post, you might wonder what I mean by the term "Man's Man" and what it is in comparison to a "Ladies Man." The truth is that both of these men have very similar characteristics, but a few MAJOR differences that create a distance or gap in how they are responded to by women. Both are alluring in nature and have a knack for dealing with the female gender. Each has a unique way of attracting the most unattainable women. So, what's the difference?

Lets start with loosely defining the Man's Man.

A Man's Man is the type of man that most men look up to and strive to be. He's good looking, well spoken and always dresses to impress. When he walks into a room, both men and women take notice and begin to compete with or for attention. He's strong minded and rarely tells people what they want to hear. He keeps himself in great shape and is good at most things. He usually strives to be the center of attention and is naturally competitive. He knows he's good looking and usually makes relationships about himself rather than his partner. (see also emotionally challenged)

The Ladies Man is slightly different than a Man's Man, but has similarities as well. He is good looking, well spoken and typically is slightly fashion obsessed (metro sexual.) He is smooth and knows how to talk to his way into and out of any situation. His education level and ability to communicate usually makes him successful. He portrays an image of strength and mystery that has an unexplainable allure to all types of women. The Ladies Man usually has only a few male friends as he relates better to women. His strength lies in his ability to relate to women on a deeper level. He typically makes the relationship about the women he is with, but rarely sticks around. (see also player)

While these two types of men are typically the most attractive to the female gender, these are usually the types women should avoid as neither have an optimistic view on male/female intimacy. Both men have great potential and could easily be great boyfriends, husbands and eventual fathers, but their inability to commit to something bigger than themselves makes them red flags in the dating world.
