The traits of the “Modern Man”

You’ve come a long way…man!

A new poll asked people to name the top traits of a “Modern Man”…the 21st-century edition…here are the signs you’ve “made it”, guys:

  • You do your fair share of the cleaning
  • You talk openly about your feelings
  • If your boss or manager was a woman, you’d be totally fine with it
  • You’re okay discussing your mental health
  • You’re a good listener
  • You’re great with kids
  • You’re openly affectionate
  • You’d be fine being a stay-at-home dad
  • You don’t always feel the need to put on a brave face
  • You stand up against racism and prejudice 

How many did you check off?

Other traits included caring about the environment, trying new things and “manscaping”…which is definitely “New School”!

What traits would you add to the list?
