When we think of a "man's man," we often picture a masculine and rugged type of person who is tough and strong. Though the term "man's man" may be problematic and exclusive, there are several synonyms that capture some of the essence of this idealized version of masculinity. They include "alpha male," "macho man," "he-man," "tough guy," and "hardy." These terms may be used to describe a man who possesses traditionally masculine traits such as physical strength, courage, and assertiveness. However, it is important to recognize that these traits do not define masculinity, and that individuals can express their gender identity in a variety of ways.
