I find this list very weird, like someone would look for a... strong patron? not a friend? My understanding of manhood (which I don't pretend to be normative) is that you're supposed to make do with as much of those things as you have yourself, work with your limitations, not attach to someone else. A friend is supposed to be pleasing/interesting to be around (i.e., compatible) and trustworthy.
I would even tone down signalling the qualities mentioned in TFA to avoid attracting into relationships the people who are looking for gain. It would be dangerous to build your life on these.
