What is being a man?

[banu_okasha]

Do you believe that being a man, means putting your dreams and ambitions aside for the sake of your loved ones? To do what you do not like to do and give up aspirations for their sake?

[c0al67]

no i think its more about driving a truck and chewing tobacco, drinkin beers, respectin' your momma's teachin's and whoopin an ass every now and then

[The_Reaper]

You're not man enough to f*ck with me! You can't last two minutes in my world, bitch! Look at you scared now, you hoe. Scared like a little white pussy. Scared of the real man. I'll f*ck you 'til you love me, fa*got!

[nedrud relyt]

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women

[Fielder]

Being a man is all about being the best you can be...

Putting family before everything else.
Being able to provide.
Being the breadwinner in the family.
have chest hair
grow a mustache and 5oclock shadow

[fkn_give_me_abs]

i think it mostly has to do with how many pumpkin scones you eat a week

Being a man is having a large penis. I wouldn't feel half the man I am with a tiny 6" sausage.

It has to do with whether or not you buy the shoes from the Korean guy's corner shop that you kinda want but aren't sure if the price is reasonable enough and after haggling you only get a $1 discount

actuallty i think its the exact opposite. Leaving the one you love to follow your dreams. thats being a real man.

if you do the opposite, its more gay then anything.

Definitely not. It's about having worthwhile dreams and ambitions and the wherewithal to achieve them. It's about following your path in life and not letting anything get in the way of your success, and overcoming any obstacles that get in your way.

If, by the 'sake of your loved ones' you mean an illness or something, you have to do what is necessary for your family, but that should not mean that you put your life on hold.

How to be a man :


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 all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath 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!

--Rudyard Kipling

I half way get what the op was trying to say. so I half way agree.

to me being a man. is the being the protector, a gentlemen, and a provider. being a man is putting your family first but living your dreams. thats a hard balance.

a real man opens doors, and pays for the dinner. a real man gives your loved ones space but is always watching. a real man works like a slave to provide for his family. A real man will give his kid the food off his plate and the shirt off his back to his kid and never say a word about it. A real man knows when to back down because it will allow him to be with his family, but he knows when to bust a head. a real man can go from zero to hero in 30seconds. a real man feels but is hard as a rock.
