What makes a real man?
You know some people say stuff that have a bunch of popular misconception about manhood. Individuals say real men are tough, they don't cry. Real men don't let anyone tell them what to do. Men are better then women.
This is a common mistake some of us guys have to get over with. Another way to look at it is manhood is the opposite of boyhood not the opposite of womanhood. You become a real man when you leave behind the traits of a child. *In other words, the more you replace childish ways of thinking, speaking, and acting with mature ways of thinking, speaking, and acting, the more you prove yourself to be a real man.
Try to seek out areas you can improve.
Some people may have lack a father figure. Some people say your father is not in the picture, you will never learn what it is to be a man. If your father set a poor example; you're doom to repeat his mistakes.
Simply put that's not the case. Even if you've had a less ideal childhood, you are not doomed to fail. You can rise up above your circumstances. Admittedly, it can be difficult to grow up with an inattentive father. Or even no father at all. It may be a disadvantage.
Find someone you can look up to. Ask him important qualities. And develop it.
"I'm proud of the man I'm becoming. Although I wish my father had been a part of my progress, I'm optimistic about the future. I'm convinced I'm not doomed to fail. - My words.
My question to you. What, do you think defines a real man? How am I doing when it comes to maturity?
Comments are welcome. Anything irrelevant or sexual will be reported and minus rep. This is a discussion and to help those who are looking a path in life. I thank you for understanding. I'm not here to impose only to help. And I want to help.*
