    I saw this posted somewhere. Do you agree with this definition of a man?

    In today's butt-wiping and overly PC society, we have diluted the premise of what makes a man a "Man" in an attempt to not exclude or ostracize those males who don't fit the standard norms. Some argue that what makes a man a man is not how he dresses or behaves, but rather his content of character and how genuine he is.

    Bullshit.

    Being honorable and true to your word is something that makes everyone (regardless of gender) sincere and is a trait that all should strive for. Yes, sincerity is a central component that every man should embody in personality. However, the truth is, what makes a man a man is his level of bravery, his level of male pride, his level of masculinity and how well he can control any given situation. Period.

    IF you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    ' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
    if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
    And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

    Definitions of what it means to be a man are culturally subjective.

    What it means to be a man is to have XY chromosomes and balls. Sometimes the balls get in the way of other traits such as sensitivity and open expressiveness.

    All of it means nothing if the man can't take charge of responsibilities.

    My own definition of a man is one that doesn't have to prove he is a man all the time. You know the braggart, the wife beater, the strutter. A real man knows he is a man.

    Meh, I don't know about that. A real man or woman for that matter is one who acts like and adult when the situation calls for it but can act like a kid when when it's time to play.

    Eh, a man may not be totally brave, proud or masculine but still be a kick ass male. Nobody should be held to the responsibility to control any given situation.

    I can name countless situations typically better controlled by a female.

    What makes my man a man?

    He is brave and fights for our freedom
    He is reliable, and faces his responsibilities rather than running from them
    He is considerate, thoughtful, and honest
    He puts his life on the line everyday so we can live our lives, all the while wishing he could live his own
    He is decisive, and although he will seek guidance/research when necessary, can make his own decisions
    He is not threatened by my success or needs me to pump his ego in any way
    He can without hesitation admit the things he wants, even when they seem to be "mushy"
    He wants to take care of me, pamper me, and show me that he cares
    He wants to protect me, and i know that i will always be safe with him around
    He is financial secure, and does not need me to take care of him that way
    He is appreciative that a good woman loves him


    And... oh yeah... after a 23 hour flight back from the Middle East, he can create a fantasy scene that i told him about 3 months prior, bring me to heavenly ecstacy for 3 hours, then go to sleep for an hour... and get up to report to duty for a 12 hour day!

    THAT IS A MAN! Smile
