What makes a man...

A lot of people think that being a man means being obnoxious, being outward with foul language, gestures, and bowel movements... A lot of people think that being a man means being insensitive, not caring about anyone but themselves...

But I disagree.

I would have to say that I think being a man means owning up to who you are and what you do, taking responsibility for your business and your actions, and ultimately being true to yourself no matter how that may affect your relationships with other people.

Being a man means to treat a lady with complete respect, not just dealing with them in return for sexual pleasure.

Any guy who hits a lady is NOT a man. There is no excuse to hit a woman, unless it is in the case in which your life - or someone elses life - is being threatened by said woman.

Real men don't care more about a football game than their woman. A real man would turn off the tv just to spend some time with the woman they love.

Real men know that ultimately, that one woman is the most important thing in their life, and nothing else comes first. At the same time, behold your friends, don't let them go because any good relationship also needs time apart, and that's difficult when you have no one else to hang out with.

Real men aren't afraid to speak the truth no matter how badly it hurts them or someone else, so long as it's not deliberately destructive.
