    A 'MAN' takes responsibility for his actions and the success or consequences that follow.

    A 'MAN' is someone who is truthful and respectful to himself and to others.

    A 'MAN' is someone who doesn't abuse power, but uses it to help others.

    A 'MAN' is someone who can stand tall and earn a living while supporting his family (even if he is a stay at home dad, a CEO raking in the dollars, or even in between).

    A 'MAN' is someone who can accept positive change while recognizing that the world is a diverse place, all the while learning from his life experiences to pass on to the 'YOUNGER MAN'.

      What I've told both my sons is that I strive to be honest, have integrity, show responsibility both in my words and actions, take responsibility for my actions, realize that life isn't always serious, you have to learn to enjoy it. I try to represent myself in the best possible manner and in general act in a way that would make my grandparents proud of me.

        It's a combination of many things. How a person reacts to certain situations, how a person handles themselves under stress, how a person lives their life, how a person forms relationships, their level of thinking and processing.

        You can't just look at someone and think "well he is a car owner so he must be a man". A freaking 16 year old can buy a car.

                being able to be honest to yourself as much as anyone else.
                If a man can accept himself for what he really is and doesn't pretend to be something else, then there isn't really much else you can expect from him.

                You don't have to be able to defend your family to be a man. An amputee that lost his legs in Nam but still plays basketball and live life to the fullest is a man because he isn't drowning in the sorrow of an injury or acting like life is over. He may not be able to defend his family from harm as much as you and I.

                  Help paying your parents pay the bills, does that count ?

                  if you are caring, can be emotionally Attached ( like crying ), live and substain by youself with no help, and help family or friends if they need it,[ but also can say "no" to a limit ], responsible, and make no excuses.

                  I personally think that what would require for me to call you a man. All the rest like shooting a deer are optional.

Not on the side of sexual preference, but as kids we grow up thinking how weird or awkward it would be to shower around other naked men. Thats probably a whole other topic, but still. Doing so, in confidence, and without it effecting your routine is something id put on the list as well. May not be something i >want< to do, but i think id be confident enough to do so.
                            i guess ive been a man since like 12 or 13

                              I think straight success got it...
                              just keep your word and be responsible... be a good role model... I think that pretty much does it.

                              I mean think about it all those things are things we respect therefore a real man commands respect because if you didn't respect the man then he wouldn't be a man in your eyes at all.
