A real man doesn't cry, doesn't moan, doesn't complain, doesn't get sick, and doesn't need to go to the doctor every time he sneezes. A real man makes decisions and lives with the consequences. A real man accepts responsibility for his actions and his words. A real man is firm. If life is a b*tch, a real man will slap it and move on.
A real man is macho. A real man is tough. A real man doesn't show emotions. A real man is the backbone of his family and doesn't have time to be weak. If spiders scare you, you'll never be a real man.
Trait No. 2: A real man is focused
A real man knows the difference between what's important and what isn't. A real man doesn't waste time on stupidities that don't bring him any profit. Sure, there are things you can do as a hobby -- I like to shoot ducks -- but it must have a purpose. The purpose of my hobby is to improve my aim, and I don't have to tell you whether or not that's a useful thing in my line of work.
A real man focuses on power, money and family. He doesn't focus on sex. Sex comes as a result of having power, money and a wife (and if she doesn't satisfy you, there are plenty of other women who will, especially when you are powerful and rich).
Trait No. 3: A real man knows the importance of family
A real man will keep his family strong and pass on his ancestors' history and traditions. A real man knows that his children are God's gift and should be treated as such, even if he disciplines them from time to time.
A real man must also remember his other Family, his organization. In my world, both my family and my Family hold the same importance; I protect them both with all my might. If you have a Family, don't forget where your loyalties lie and who has your back when you need it.
Trait No. 4: A real man doesn't gossip
A real man follows omerta; he keeps his mouth shut. He shelters information and rations his words. A real man does not reveal more than he has to and doesn't engage in girlie talk about others. A real man doesn't discuss things he doesn't know about or people he has never met.
Trait No. 5: A real man's word is his bond
When a real man makes a promise, he keeps it. If he can't keep a promise, he doesn't give his word. A real man would rather die than break his word. A real man knows that his words are as powerful as his actions, and that they must be taken at face value. That is why he rations them (see above).
Trait No. 6: A real man strives to be a role model
A real man respects himself and others at all times, unless, of course, he has been disrespected. A real man sets an example for his disciples, and especially for his children. I never bring my work home, so my children only know me as their father and not as a waste management executive. You should do the same; a real man sets the tone for his children and keeps them from discovering that he has weaknesses.
Trait No. 7: A real man makes his own fortune
A real man doesn't settle for handouts or charity when it comes to his personal fortune. A real man isn't satisfied with papa's money. He spits on Lady Luck and decides his own destiny. A real man who inherits goods from his forefathers takes his inheritance and turns it into 10 times what it was.
Trait No. 8: A real man doesn't look like a woman
A real man doesn't have piercings and long hair, and he doesn't shave his chest. Manicures, however, are acceptable. Massages from female attendants are also tolerated. A real man knows that, outside of his barber, all his personal hygiene needs must be taken care of by a woman.
A real man has at least three suits (with a mandatory pinstriped one) that cost more than a roomful of escorts. A real man wears a suit at least three times a week. Any man who doesn't know how to tie a tie should hand in his testicoli immediately.
Trait No. 9: A real man keeps his house in order
Have you ever been inside the boss� house? There ain�t no pizza boxes sitting around, there ain�t no undershirts on the floor, and there sure as hell ain�t no unpaid bills being used as beer coasters. No ruler can rule over a territory if he isn�t already the master of his own home.
This means you lazy pinheads out there need to stop using machismo as an excuse to live like a bottom-feeder; keep your sty spotless, keep your documents in order and -- listen up on this one -- clean your freaking suits.
Trait No. 10: A real man can defend himself
You know what�s missing in the world today? Leaders who have had to fight their way to the top. No joking, look at the head of any business that�s circling the toilet bowl, and I�ll show you a boss whose parents' power and money kept him from ever learning things the hard way.
Ooooooh, this is what Google said. I was going to say you're joking right? I hate lists like these, but I think most if not all of what makes or breaks a man is loyalty, integrity, and providing. Everything else is colored bubbles. Read Coach Wooden's Pyramid to Success. It will tell you all you need to know.
What a silly question ... a man is a man is a man ... when he reaches the age of maturity and is no longer a boy or teenager, so no matter what KIND of a man he is, personality-wise, heart-wise, he is STILL a man, plain and simple ... and another answer to this question, obviously, simply is:
It seems as the days go by, the definition of a true man is constantly changing. One culture defines man as "insert", the next as "insert", but the bible says it best!
i think Psalms 110-112 define a man (don't quote me i could be wrong lol) im gonna go look it up now, but everyman should sit at the side of our father
