Who decided what a real man is?. What they do, don't and shouldn't?.

Anyone has that list?.

On that same subject, Slick Willy and Hillary were having lunch. Bill says "I think I'll have a quickie". Hillary says "It's pronounced 'keeesh', dear".
 
Everyone has a definition of what they think each person is, whether or not that label is appropriate or applicable too is debatable and subjective. Be you, and care not what others think, that's my best advice. Why allow someone else to define your masculinity or femininity.
 
Having not lived what you call an exemplary life(think GoodFellas) I always kept my business life away from my personal life but it always spills over. One day my 14yo son said when he grows up he wanted to be just like me, So I asked why, and he said because your tough, and you do what ever you want and people are afraid of you. So I asked him if that what he thought a real man was and he said ya of course.I said to him thats not a real man, a real man is respected not feared,he can be relied on and always keeps his word,he takes care of his family and put them first. Resorting to violence is easy, finding a way around it is what a real man does.Your a kind, sensitive young man you have real friends, people like you. Stick with that and your e a real man.

Agree with all of this.

Some members here think I have a penchant for violence. It was a way of life for me in the past, much like your Goodfellas reference, mine was more like Sons of Anarchy but we had dealing with the "Fellas". Physical altercation for me is my last resort, although, walking away should be my last resort, but pride has a way of deterring that. I'm getting too old for this shit anyway.

My son (17), basically said the same thing a while ago. I told him the same and want him to learn from my stories, not live by them. He's read some of my memoirs and can't put them down (400+ pgs). It's hard for a teen to not think "It's cool how you did xyz..." and he tells his friends about some of the stories. Apparently, I have a fan club at his school. I've taught him to be respectful to all sexes but not to be walked on. He's a gentle and thoughtful kid and he's got killer looks which makes him a target for a lot of teenage girls. He'll make a fine young man.

Words to live by, Steve McQueen. Never get your own hands dirty, in a beef with punks. Any idiot can talk tough. Think of that scene in black and white, at the beginning of "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid". When you have a rep, you don't often need to prove it. Being feared is for the guys who don't have the stones to earn respect. It's just a shame that too many of those types become trigger happy cops.
 
A real man won't ask himself this shit. Just do what you want and realize actions have consequences.
 
Don't wear hats.

You should always wear a hat, unless you are 100% certain your lady friend doesn't have 'cooties'. Why are you even posting that, God? How can you have sex, unprotected, be without sin, and yet decree that sex is sinful? Methinks though art an hypocrite. Gotcha!
