How do I make a guy feel manly?

My wife sends me grateful texts, roughly once per day, telling me about attributes, actions, or other things that she appreciates about me. They always make me smile, sometimes blush.

Context: I basically told him I ‘missed him’ and he seemed to run away from that (ie didn’t respond).

I miss you = I can't stand on my own two legs and depend upon you to function = codependent. Well, some guys can/will read it that way. I miss you also implies obligation; the unsaid subtext is "I miss you, so come tend to me because I'm lonely".

Try instead, "I can't wait to see you again. You make me really happy." No obligation, just a statement of appreciation and anticipation. Doesn't seem like much of a difference, but it is.

I think if he ran away from the clingy, you're just not enough fun for him. There are positive ways to let a man know he is appreciated, welcome, wanted and missed that don't put the pressure on.

complement the things that he does that shows you hes a man and that you're grateful for him

Though i will say, it helps more that you give us more context or else we cant help you much as you're just self diagnosing. Sometimes it has nothing to do with you too.

You're mixing up two issues. The solution to being codependent is not making a man feel manly. Why the two topics are even in the same post is hard for me to wrap my head around.

You can make a man feel masculine by being a feminine woman. The contrast will make him feel wonderful. However, you shouldn't be worrying about making any man feel any way quite yet. It's really important for you to figure out why you are behaving in self described codependent ways & stop the thought patterns that lead to it. Otherwise, you will walk into unhealthy relationships and scare good ones away.
