The perceptions that respond to the general objective of the study were obtained: Identify which are the most relevant symbolic elements in the stories about masculinity in Guayaquil and Compare the symbolic constructs mobilized in the stories about masculinity produced by men and women in Guayaquil. We worked through qualitative research techniques, two interviews, with which was to carry out a textual analysis of the perceptions of the sample, organized by categories such as perceptions of masculinity, symbolic elements and social construction of masculinity; concepts that were obtained from the analysis of the theoretical framework. A finding was found: thanks to the importance of having two participants who reside in the study city, but belong to Manabí, they indicated elements of the Guayaquil man from the comparisons made with the men of their province. It was shown that, within the cultural dynamics for the interviewee. the Guayaquil man tends to show himself as he is, while, for the interviewee, the Guayaquil man is delicate and does not prove to be masculine. Likewise, the characteristics that this masculinity represented were related: it is not macho. It was concluded that a common stereotype in Guayaquil man is surprising and has foreign influence.
