50 Things that Make a Real Man

What makes a REAL man? Who is he really? What does a REAL man do?

These are questions that our culture answers in a ton of different ways.

I posted this on Twitter & Facebook to clear the air: Finish this sentence (U Can help write a blog post! Thx N advance): A real man ___________. 50 responses below; thanks everyone!

I think my favorite (they were all good & thanks for adding to the post) was a tie between: Emily Pierce’s response- A real man will lead. Short and Sweet! Kim Jackson’s response- A man that takes responsibility…for his family, actions, choices, his time, and his feelings. Never leaving it up to the “whatever”…or leaving it for someone else to fill in the blanks. Wow, love it (also loved jfinley’s).

Here are the rest of the responses, enjoy:
