Aussie Simon Baker is a heartthrob the world over – he appears to know what it is to be a real man.

A UK survey of 2000 women and men by British company William Hill ( one of the largest bookmakers in the UK) has come up with a list of 50 things a man should know or be able to do to be considered a real man- and it’s got us laughing into our coconut water (it’s FebFast after all).

From being able to shine his shoes and shave to knowing what his partner likes to drink, the list is great water cooler chat.

But we’re not British – at Bondi Beauty, we’ve come up with our list of 25 things we reckon Aussie men should know to be a real man:

  1. His girlfriend (or wife’s) nickname
