What Is The True Measure Of A Man?

Physical Strength
Strength of Character
Courage


Now, it can be argued that all three of these characteristics work together in defining a good man. But, if you had to chose one characteristic that defined the true measure of a man, what would it be?

There is no right or wrong answer. This poll is not meant to become a divisive debate where people square off and take sides. Your decisions will be based on your personal perceptions, with deciding factors such as gender, culture or age, to name a few.

Again, this is not an argument for or against any of the three choices, you are just stating your personal preference. You do not have to defend your personal preference or debate it.



The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

~Martin Luther King, Jr.

My personal preference, the quote by Buddha, defines the most important quality of a man, it's not his strength, but his strength of character.

I'm heading to bed now and I will join you later in the morning. Post your preference in the comments. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers, only a preference. wave

Hi Willow,

I think rather, What is the true measure of a PERSON, man or woman?

Neither one can be at their best if they don't have BALANCE of all traits you've mentioned here and many more not mentioned.

Just my opinion or my 10 cents worth. professor grin
For the True Measure of a Man use this formula :

Evaluate the man with the number from 0 to 100 for each below and multiply by the percentages shown. professor


15 % - Physical Strength
50 % - Strength of Character
35 % - Courage
Thank you Track. Are you feeling better hug
I am actually, thank you bouquet
Track... What measurement did you say? 6"?
wave The ultimate measure of a man is his pearls of wisdom and not what he has, but what he has lost,and how he stands up bravely to face the onslaught and wields the power and leads others to follow.hug lips
It goes to show some people have an inferiority complex about their own anatomy and the size thereof of and quite frankly it only goes to show,the so called brain they use is the one they sit on. It does not matter as to what comes out of their mouth,because they only prove that there is a lack of performance in that department,because if that is not the case one should never keep bringing it up,as it makes it very obvious that they have a problem. crying crying
It's crystal clear I think.I opt for #2 ... strength of character...all other traits to a person are supportive one in nature to make a man perfect...leading factor should be strong character to gauge a man...
Courage. smitten love
I'm enjoying all the answers. There are many qualities that add up to the total of what makes a man. It is interesting to see what quality stands out above the others, is subjective, according to each person.
nice and true quote of Buddha, but all must start with ....”nosce te ipsum”
