LOOK: Real men defined in 10 ways

MANILA, Philippines -- What does it really mean to be a real man these days?

There is actually no need for wordy explanations. Just look at the following photos to find the answer yourself.

1. Real men can't wait to come home to play with the kids.

The truth is, they can’t get their lovely kids out of their head while they’re away from home.

2. Real men play kiddy games—even if it means painting nails.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t really know how. It’s still a sweet bonding time with their princess.

6. Real men are not afraid of books.

8. Real men put their family first.

James Deakin captioned this: “I was just asked in an interview: ‘Where is your favorite place in the world?’ I said: Anywhere my family is.”

That says it all.

9. Real men don’t mind doing household chores.

They cook, do the laundry, change baby diapers, and tutor their kids. Sometimes, they do it better than mommies.
