Boundary Problem Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Civic duty and the ability to be a part of something greater than the self. When I think of a man - this is what I think of. protection of society. Women create society, men protect it. I'm going to get flamed for making generalizations, but this is my opinion.
A O Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 When I think of a man - this is what I think of. protection of society.Women create society, men protect it. I'm going to get flamed for making generalizations, but this is my opinion. And following on from this, a man is a protector, a provider and a leader. To me, the measure of a man is by what he is prepared to give. Now if this were true, then it doesn't say a lot about women, henceforth, I strongly disagree. .
AliveAndKicking Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 For me being a man means being: Honest. Hard-working. Fair and equitable. Faithful. Charitable. Brave. Dedicated. Honorable. Consistant. Calm. Patient. Trustworthy. Loving. Forgiving. God-fearing. Gentle. I guess I sound kinda old-school huh? Ok how about this: If I can be half the man my dogs think I am then I'm doing alright!
ann09 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 A real man isn't afraid to show his emotions.
drillman Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 i see a lot of great responses here to the question of what makes a real man. but for fairness, what makes a real woman? The same types of virtues as i see in these posts about real men, or is it different definition for a woman???
