Be a Man

by Cameron Kennedy in Men, November 1, 2009

We have a lot of male rituals that make us feel like men, but here’s what it really takes to be a man.

You want to win her heart or just be a real man then you should learn some male behaviors that may not be so common.  You might think she wants you to fight with another guy over her but that’s not what she wants.

Women do enjoy a man that will put on an apron and cook her meal.  If you think that’s too feminine for you then maybe you have some issues.  Many women earn the paycheck these days while the men loaf around the house.  Plenty of men know their way around a kitchen as well as other rooms in the house.  Real men don’t just take out the trash.

If she has a pet show the pet some love.  Even if it’s one of those little dogs you don’t like, you should still show her pet some affection.  Remember she had the pet before she had you and it’s likely the pet is staying.

Being a good neighbor is a great way to prove your manliness.  You could help the old man across the street cut his grass or check in on him.  If the neighborhood is having a party then pitch in and help out.  You can bond with your neighbors (or her neighbors) and this will show off your integrity.

Very few men volunteer.  You often hear “I gave at the office.”  You can give more than money.  Give your time or possessions away.  If you aren’t dating then being a volunteer is a great place to meet a nice woman.  Just be sure you are volunteering for a cause you believe in.

Be fun and alive.  Doing things like singing and dancing not only refresh your spirit but those around you.  You’ll lift up others if you can open up and be yourself.

Not many men pick up the tab at dinner anymore.  I don’t care what she says pay for dinner!  She will certainly appreciate the gesture especially if you don’t expect anything in return.  Do I hear “second date”?

Show your manners by opening doors and saying thank you and please.  Little things mean a lot and your manners is actually not quite so little.

    It is your established fairness and Justice which makes you a real man. It seperates the men from the boys.

    What does it take to be a man? It takes enough confidence in oneself to know you are a man without reading other peoples articles on how to be a man. With that kind of confidence in yourself, you won’t be mislead by people with political agendas. That kind of confidence is the same that allows you to be sensitive to others without fearing someone thinking you are weak, allows you to be a servant to the people around you, without being humiliated, allows you to use your strength to strengthen others, without fear of becoming weaker. This confidence allows you to recognize your own value as you recognize the value of all others, and to love other people as you yourself have been loved by God, the creator, who values all his creation, and has put you here for his good purpose, to love each other, and to give the glory to him.

    Dakota, I’m not sure if you think I have some “political agenda” but I assure you that I don’t. Maybe I’m just reading your comment wrong. The article was not meant to ruffle any feathers.
