What makes a man a true man?

[VanillaCreme]

You can have an opinion and stick up for yourself and still be nice. "Nice Guys" aren't nice, they're doormats who expect the world and a ******** because they tell a chick their hair looks good.

I agree with this.

Oh yeah definitely, for example...

Lumberjacks are the original manly-man.

I have to say, plaid flannel does make me a little bit hot... and not just when I am wearing it

A beard helps. If movies are anything to go by, blowing up anything from a building up to an island, cracking one-liners at people you kill, discarding guns in favour of good ol' fisticuffs when you meet your nemesis, and having casual, unprotected sex with every gorgeous woman you come across are staples of a true man. Oh, and saving the world, avenging your loved ones and possibly causing as much collateral damage as possible in the midst of doing all this. Let's not forget that.

Still, straight answer...the usual biological naughty bits aside, I think it's the ability to take responsibility for one's actions, owning up to your mistakes, holding unto your word, and a good point already made, having other high principles (loyalty and honesty, first and foremost) and sticking by them.

Sounds a bit like idealistic gibberish, in retrospect.

A true man by modern society's beliefs should have:

1. A big wallet
2. A penis

+ Beard you can hide a bird's nest in

This

Or this...

Or perhaps this... 1.-A beard. 2.-Knowledge of how to operate a snowplow. 3.-Proper usage of curse words. 4.-The smell of alcohol on his breathe, despite the fact you never see him drinking.

[blackhole]

a true man?

would...

- walk through a hail of gunfire for his family
- give his last ounce of sweat and blood to provide for his loved ones
- hunt you down and carve out your insides with a grapefruit spoon if you ever harmed his child

I could grow a mustache.

You're all talk.
