We could easily turn this into a Manly-man thread. Lemme introduce you to someone whom I feel isn't the best role model for anyone, but is undeniably manlier than most:

Eikichi Onizuka: YOROSHIKU!
So as not to de-rail the topic, here's a pretty normal shot of him.

Anyway, my list includes:
Holland from Eureka 7 (Leader and one of the founders of Gecko State)
Kamina from Tengen Toppa Guren Lagann (He is made of hot-blood, ambition, and manly tears!)
Amuro Ray from Gundam (The mature Amuro from UC0093)
Takemoto from Honey and Clover
Incidentally, I noticed the differences between the man's man, and a woman's man in anime. The ideal anime male from a male perspective is someone with a no-fear attitude, somewhat reckless, and often has an ambition of some sort for a multitude of reasons.
From a woman's perspective, an ideal anime guy is someone very gentle, and almost (always) is androgynously handsome (hence the term 'girly-boy'). They also have an air of mystery attached to them, usually a mysteryous past that makes the female leads in the story to chase after the guy whenever they're breaking down or some sort.
Of course, this is based from the characters of specifically shonen and shojo manga/anime.
