Hehe... It seems like there's 2 opposite opinions: that it is a very masculine man or a gay man. Tricky expression, isnt't it?
Based on the way I've heard the expression being used, I see it is the "masculine" one.
I think Melissa ir right. I've heard "a guy's guy" said about a gay man, so I guess in this case it means that it's a gay man that doesn't look gay. Is that right?
Thanks for all the answers.

A man that is a "real man" - likes to hang out with other guys and do manly things.

this means that man/guy is the type that another man could respect/ look up to.
Since women seem to see men in a different way.

Well a ladies' man means that all the girls like that guy and they are around them. I think a man's man would mean that all the guys like a certain guy. So it would mean they were gay.

A man's man is a guy who is very masculine, rough and tough, and get in there and fix it. A guy's guy sounds like a gay slang.

To accept societal roles defined by gender. The phrase, "wearing the pants in the relationship," comes to mind. In other words, real men think this guy is a man. It's pretty silly.

A 'Man's Man' doesn't take a lot of crap from metrosexuals,treats a lady like a lady,stands up for what he believes,can catch and kill his family's food if needed,fixes his own car,etc.
