Do you mean his status in society or the person he is?

Unfortunately, it is typically by his wealth, looks and occupation. Maybe what kind of car he has and how big his house is. *shrug* To me, there are more important things to measure a mans' worth, but not to society in general.

Either at this point, was just curious in any aspect that doesn't involve the length of his johnson.

By whose standard prof? Depends on who you talk to. Like starry said, it is typically by his wealth, looks and occupation. Military it is by how high the rank is, politics how high the person is in that.
Personnally I would say the best judge would be how is the relationship with the wife and are they happy with each other, like what they both do, where they live. And if they have kids, how are they developing? I mean, any schmoo could achieve all kinds of things in status but having a good family life is hard for anybody to achieve.

I would like to think that a man is measured by what he does in life, the friends he has, and how much laughter he can bring to teh world.

Well, since I can't say how he is generally measured and only speak for myself, I think I better say nothing, because my outlook wouldn't be too positive regarding my experience

That would apply to any gender I would think.

No, I measure people, male or female by their attitude towards others, not by wealth, success or anything like that

the measure of man is not by the number of people that tell him "Hello" every day...but by the number of people that gather to tell him "Goodbye"

I suppose it is matter of opinion, I was pretty successful in the military, highly regarded and pretty successful in my new job...but am also in the process of divorce..no wife and she uses the kids as a weapon. So for me, I have a tendancy to feel like I've failed...or say, not succeeded in what I should have? Over time I might feel different.

How a man is measured in society is an entirely subjective standard. Everyone has their own ideas of how people are measured, whether it is through military experience, religion, politics, social status, etc.
I, personally, believe a man is measured by the way he treats others. A man could have all the money or social status, or whatever—but if he is a big jerk, who really wants to be around him? And, on the other end of the spectrum, you could have an impoverished, kind hearted soul who has wealth in friendship. That is who I would rather be with.

I would seriously wish it is by this word. His intent behind that word, and integrity. Leaving ego at bay more times than not, and understanding humanity is in all of us...
Religion should never be a part of the man..only a part of his ideas, and learning...
That in all things been said and done, the understanding that we carry the past in our blood... and carry it well.
wow, could be so much, rich!
I think it goes for all,though...

How he treats others.
Strong when it is needed, brave enough to show kindness, generous to those in need of help, fearless when the chips are down...
Men can nuture...

A man is a man… a stand-up man, if you will —all grown up, and not a little boy— Values, morals, honesty, respect, priorities, & how he treats others ...those would be “some” important factors in determining how a man is measured in todays society.

Your question asks for the measure of a man in today's society. That requires me to have an understanding of my society, which, sadly I do.
If he has the loudest voice, and the higher position within his field of employment, he is top dog.
If he has at least two houses and three cars in his garage, he is seem as a succesful man, even called "good."
A pretty wife, at least five years younger, and usually NO.2, helps society measure this man.
Financially he needs to be succesful, to have an expensive lifestye, more money than he requires.
He is seen as a man, if he has no emotions, well, two are acceptable, mildy happy, and angry.
The man described above would be measured by Australian society as a man, a real man, even called a good man.
Within my society? My personal society? How I would measure a man?
Vastly different.
Compassion, altruisism, motivation, honesty, with integrity, are some of the benchmarks for me, to measuring a man.
For him to understand how important it is to love himself, and accept himself for who he is, and have the desire to be more.
To have empathy for those around him, and to be able to do good for another with out requiring a thankyou.
His awareness of his space, and place on this earth, and how he affects it, is of value to me.
These are some of the qualities I value in a man, and would use them as a measure.
