What makes a man?

    I can look back on a life of achievement, on challenges met, competitors bested, obstacles overcome. I’ve accomplished more than most men, and without the use of my legs. What makes a man?
    Is it being prepared to do the right thing? Whatever the cost? Isn’t that that makes a man?

    Is the answer something about having a special stick that you only use for mixing paint?

    A man doesn't need to solicit hero status to fulfill themselves.

    If you can keep your head when all about you


    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,


    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,


    But make allowance for their doubting too;


    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,


    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,


    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,


    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:





    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;


    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;


    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster


    And treat those two impostors just the same;


    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken


    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,


    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,


    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:





    If you can make one heap of all your winnings


    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,


    And lose, and start again at your beginnings


    And never breathe a word about your loss;


    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew


    To serve your turn long after they are gone,


    And so hold on when there is nothing in you


    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’





    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,


    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,


    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,


    If all men count with you, but none too much;


    If you can fill the unforgiving minute


    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son

    A man has a penis.
    A woman has a vagina.

    There's more than one way of being a man (or woman). We all know what it takes to be a good person, and most of us succeed to varying degrees and if we don't, we know what we should do to rectify it even if it's hard and we don't want to.

    Just be decent, man or woman.

    Tell me what makes a man
    Wanna give you all his heart
    Smile when you're around
    And cry when you're apart
    If you know what makes a man
    Wanna love you the way I do
    Girl you gotta let me know
    So I can get over you

    That whole sentence is incorrect.

    Why the hang up on what makes a man?

    For me, it would be admitting when you're wrong, humility but also assertiveness and the decency to do the right thing.

    A Y chromosome makes us biologically male. I haven't a clue where I would start to describe a man in the philosophical sense.

    A penis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,341 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    A big dick. And not just long. Needs to be thick too. Get in deep and wide.
