I feel like it isn't real man's KOM work until you're over at least 2min and into 3min and longer. And certainly uphill at least a touch.
All KOMs are real men's KOMs IMO. I've never been super fast, and the bay area has a ridiculous number of super fast cyclists. I've probably had around 8 KOMs total. Mainly downhill routes I frequented or lesser traveled segments.
