What do you think it takes to be a man?

Question

Apart from the apparatus and hormones...

Answer 1

beatin up ppl

Answer 2

For me, a real man is someone who is confident in himself and does not judge other people for being different from him.  I find a lot of men as being so insecure that they try to bring down other people.  Self confidence is very manly.

Answer 3

I guess it would responsibility as it pertains to the people you love and conversely the people that love you to name one.

Answer 4

integrity.

That means his word is his word, and he is always trust worthy.

He is a hunter- he hunts on his job and does the best he possibly can, even if he is in sales.

He is a positive thinker, so that he can encourage his family and others.

Discernment- so that he can tell right from wrong and make good choices.

Honesty. Faithfulness, so that he stays with his one woman.

Courage- because people may want to drag him down.

Loyal- he does not flutter from job to job, woman to woman.

Humble- he is always ready to apologize, even if he was right.

Respectful to others, and of others.

Wisdom.

Answer 5

I guess I am a weirdo because I don't place any special imphasis on being a man other than a p***s.

Being an adult means doing what you have to, not what you want to. And not backing down to challenges.

Answer 6

I guess women have it easy. It doesn't take much to be one ... Even a man can be one.

Can a woman be a man?

Answer 7

The anatomy of a man

Answer 8

I think a guy has to act, tough and strong most times.  Intelligence is imprtoant for a guy to have, because most girls want intelligence in a guy.  It is almost mandatory for a guy to be brave and respectful, although guys are different around the world.

Answer 9

putting all the traditions and what we were programmed to believe since a child to the side.

we, as human beings, mostly seek to be self accomplishment. something that is more satisfying than what we are taught.

For example, as human beings.. we all have our own dreams and behaviors as individuals... some of us wish not to go by some rules.

some men are not built for fighting.

that doesnt make them any less of a man.

some of them are delicate with feelings, but are more straighter than any man in a bar flirting with a female stripper..

its all about your own accomplishment and basic human decency.

being responsible, kind, compassionate, yet stern on the outside and stable so that your "social life" with other "men" can be comfortable.

making your woman feel like a lady is another.

It's all about what feels right to you. Ask yourself what do you value in life.. and see what category of a man you might fit in... not the "macho man" type.. i hope. haha..

but you know what I mean. ;)

remember acting tough doesnt make you a man. are you a man to fight with the physics.. or are you a man to win battles with your wit?

try to avoid stereotypes.. in the year 2007.. you would expect people to be far more wiser than what they've become, huh?

Answer 10

a man has traditionally been the protector, the provider, the safe haven from harm. he makes sure his family is taken care of, defends them against evil and tries to ensure they are kept from harm.

of course, the other poster, who is a female, got one right too, from a modern and classic sense. A man excudes self confidence and is comfortable with his strenghts and also, admits his weaknesses. In other words, he is not a fool about his capability.

Answer 11

Well. it requires, knowledge,courage, patience and tranquillity of mind.

Answer 12

being consistant hard working kind considerate think like a man and a woman. God fearing !! respectful and responsible.
