Not to be dpressing, but my dad died when I was four or five. But I have five older brothers and they all have said the same thing, work hard, save money, and show love. And as for advice on women, don't trust anything that bleeds for several days and don't die,lmao, joking of course, a woman you love, you will leave the bestest friend for.

My dad said the world will not put up with three things, a thief, a liar, and a murderer. He also told me that no matter what, don't ever hit a woman. That would change, however, when he got drunk. Matter of fact, his whole philosophy on life changed....

But the sober father that taught me as a child did have some honor to him. And I have tried to keep that honor, and pass it on.

Course, he told me to make em laugh, too.

well....being as i am a man and all...

i don't know my father, but my brother was always there...

to be a man, for me, means standing up for what is right for you, going with your gut, taking time to actually have an educated thought, not just a guess...admitting when you are wrong. oh, and saying you are sorry...only if you mean it.

he taught me ... to be strong, witty, and to stand on my own...to have a true backbone...defend myself...take responsibility for my own actions...even when they are wrong...and, when needed, walk away.

women? well...treat all humans with respect, even if you don't always understand what they have to say. oh, and i learned that big strong men, good ones like my bro...can get almost any woman he wants. they come to him like he's a drink of water....

My dad died when I was 9 years old. Even so I recall that he was quite prejudice in many ways. He also had a "macho" male chauvinistic attitude about women. Even though he had died when I was only 9 I can still remember that he often used to tell me to "act like a man" - usually when I was showing some kind of sensitivity toward something, or revealing emotions, especially associated with crying, or just being shy in general.

In hindsight it was probably the best thing for me that he died early in my life, but I would have never accepted his chauvinistic bigoted ways. Even at 9 years old I used to think to myself, "What the hell is your problem Mr.?"

(ha ha)

Seriously, I think I was a wiser person at 9 than my father was when he was 40 which is how old he was when he died.

Fortunately, my mother was nothing at all like him. She was very accepting of other people and held no prejudices against anyone.

So I never learned to be a "man". Maybe this is why I'm so unlike the stereotypical images of men. I never cared for The Three Stooges either. I would much rather watch Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. It was more interesting and more intelligent.

Unfortunately as I grew, it became apparent that women seemed to be attracted to men who preferred the mentality of The Three Stooges, over men who preferred the compassion and intelligence of Mr. Rogers.

So in a sense I suppose you could say that my pseudo dad was Mr. Rogers.

True a lot of what makes a man can be taught or inspired, but I think what makes a good man is what is truly inside his heart and soul, and with so many of you who are good men on cs it does shine through.

not alot, i never really got along with my father that well, had something to do with him being raised by his aunty until he was 8 or so, apparently he never felt love for his parents and so i guess he never knew how to love his own children...

My father has always and still does teach and remind me of the following things to live by:

-live, learn, live
-try your best to obey the Ten Commandments
-respect yourself..don't be afraid to be the outsider in this temporary world..stand up for what you think is right
-respect is earned, not given
-respect all elders
-respect all women
-to judge by outer appearance is to not live at all
-try to see the world through the eyes of a child
-never lose your inner child
-God put you in this world to live righteously, enjoy, and live righteously..not to win any popularity contest...just a few guidelines storeed in my heart :o)

I know you said this was for the guys but....my Father drowned when he was 19 and I one and a half...my grandfather and uncles had to set an example for my brother to follow....since our stef-father was abusive toward my brother and I but not his own...thank goodness...my brother did not turn out like my step-father...my brother and I had to be very strong to get through out childhood and come out the way we did...my brother owns his own business (16)years now...and has been married to the same woman since college...had two wonderful sons...so very negative childhoods can turn out good adults....
