Good Man? Man Enough?

Society is always so worry defining masculinity. What a real man is all  about. What he should look like How he should behave . How he should love or not. How "successful' he should be by a certain age. This machismo is too much letting "boys" believe that they can pretend to men or even a gentleman just because. Believe me a true man and gentleman can be spotted a thousand miles a way. Boy play so many game and have a pattern so you can see it and it is up to you if you want to be naive or play their games.
Here are some characteristic that what a true man is for me... which I would like to have as friend and even more partner.. but thats for another post lol

  • A MAN is honest. Whether he want to have fun or something serious. He knows everyone time is priceless. Does not play games. He leaves that for "boys"
  • He takes accountability for any mistake he can commit. He will apologize and change his behavior
  • He is constantly working on himself. He want to be the best version of himself not only for his love ones but for him.
  • He is trustworthy. Make people feel safe and it shown through his actions. Faithful
  • He knows how to be loyal an to commit. No only on the personal( intimate, relations with his circle ) level but in his professional life. 
  • He has goal he knows will achieve with effort and perseverance. He knows there will be up and downs but does not give up as soon as something bad happens. Instead he uses it as motivation.
  • His word is powerful. He does not say things he don't mean. 
  • He knows when to ask for help and be vulnerable,
  • He is not afraid of deep feelings, emotions and conversations. He seeks meaning 
  • He respect everyone and not only when it is convenient.
  • He is not selfish. He is empathetic with people so he will think twice before causing any type of pain to anyone. He is aware that his actions have consequences.
  • He is responsible ( financially & emotionally) but let go from time to time
  • He knows communication is a key for all his relations in his inner - outer circle
  • He protects his love one without having to hide stuff
  • He knows when to let go ( respectfully) and when to make a comeback stronger  and consistent.
  • He is humble
  • Love is not a game for them. They only go there when its true. Never settle just not to be "alone"thats for weak people 
  • Treats all people equality no matter religion, sexuality, status, and more. 
  • Has those little details with his family , friends and partners. Makes them feel important - even romantic I could say... seeing that will make your heart feel all warm...
  • If he wants a parter, he will want someone who complement his life. Someone who share same values and point of view even if that would challenge him at times. Someone who inspires him tone and do better. He does not look for enablers or someone to manipulate. 
A real man is more than what he owns. more than what he has on his pockets, more than sex/gender. A real man is human , a decent one. Never perfect but always as transparent as possible. Lead by example. My question for you is... Are you man enough?
