What is a real man. I know one when i see/hear him

what about this:


-a real man is honest - about who he is and what he has done in his life
-a real man speaks up - even if it is to say things others dont want to hear
-a real man is focused on progress - not performance - on the process, not the goal
-a real man tries to give love to all, but does not have to respect people just because they are of the opposite gender. -respect is earnt, anything freely given has no value.
-a real man loves his family and therefore wants to protect them from harm. This does not have to involve fighting anyone.
-a real man has a true purpose - one that hopefully contributes to the wellbeing of others.
-a real man thrives not in competition, but in cooperation. Competition is based on winners and losers, placing value in it simply makes losers feel less of themselves and makes winners buy into the temporary delusion that they are better than others.
-a real man doesn&#039t care how he looks in the mirror. Period. He cares only for his health and the health of those around him. The fact that this may result in looking good is immaterial.

and i know there are no freakin' men anywhere on the left.

a real man doesnt call on states to arm his armies, then declare them too in rebellion when they tell him to fuck off. 1861

I'm talking about the important men...the men AROUND us.

Lincoln didn't get out on the battlefield? Did he ever? They send young men to die for the politicians reasons.

Presidents don't do that, at least not while in office.
