The effort and willingness to put others ahead of themselves. Doing the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. Standing up for what they believe in yet accepting and admitting when they’re wrong. Aspiring to happiness.
There’s more than that of course, but that seems like a pretty good start for just about anyone.
Well I can only speak for myself so I will. Treat my wife with utmost respect, lavish love attention & affection on my wonderful gorgeous kids & cut through any pretentious macho bullshit.That’s my formula & by gum i’m sticking with it.
Hardworking, sober, generous and considerate of everyone and very attentive to and affectionate with wife and children. And with stepchildren, if any. I like a man who hugs and kisses his kids, both girls AND BOYS, of any age and disciplines consistently.
Where are they?
Seriously, I would say a good man is tthe same as a good woman – there for his/her friends and family, true to his/her principles, thoughtful, caring and responsible.
A good man is one who is supportive, thoughtful, funny, good to his family, good to his friends, wants to do the right thing and does the right thing, will fight for and protect his family, knows when to take issue and knows when to let things go and allows the people in his life to be who they are but will challenge them now and then.
@Simone_De_Beauvoir What if someone promised something to you, but an uncontrollable situation caused them to break their promise? Would you be mad at them for promising?
I like a guy with a good job, nice smile, wants a family and is taller then me. He has to have charm and be proper. Im not to picky but who wants a slob who makes you pay for everything. Not me!!!!! A man who doesnt look twice at another woman and is willing to stay in from here to there.
@Aster Was that supposed to be to me? If it was, I was just inquiring because I hear from many people that sticking to promises is a good character trait as if they actually mean something. Some people feel that a promise is a contract that must be fulfulled no matter what or something.
I think a good man is made up by the things he does everyday. Waking up early to go to work on time, so in other words responsibility, also if he is generous with his time and money (if he can afford it and for a good reason), kindness, loyalty to his woman and family.
