Do you guys not know me by now? Come on.

The Skarzs

Manliness is not about being macho. It's not about how big your muscles are or how good your beard looks. It's the principles you stand for and the strength with which you keep them.

Strictly speaking, a man is an adult human male.

"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"
"You're a dork," Nico announced.

The Skarzs

By definition, yes. But by nature, no.

Y'mean, being a gentleman?

Jetthebinturong

Nah. Being gentlemanly is not necessary. I know several people who are about as far from gentlemanly as possible, but I'd definitely consider them "real men."

You don't have to be a gentleman to stand by your principles or be strong in your convictions.

And yet, I would argue that one of those principles for which a real man ought to stand for most stridently is civility- the decent respect between human beings.
"'Tis the business of small minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
-Thomas Paine

"Integrity and firmness is all I can promise; these, be the voyage long or short, shall never forsake me although I may be deserted by all men."
-George Washington

Courage: Not only the willingness to die manfully, but also the determination to live decently.

Isn't it obvious what a real man is?

As long as he's a male, adult, and real he qualifies as a real man (Sorry dwayne jognso n)
The fastest way to a man's heart- Or anyone's, in fact- Is to tear a hole through their chest.

Indeed. You are as ancient as the soot that choked Pompeii into oblivion, though not quite as uncaring. - Rusvul
