A Real Man

A Real Man

Hi all - I'm Back! Since my back surgery this is the first time I'm able to sit long enough in front of my computer to write blog number 516. Even though I have a long way to go, it feels great to be back - I'm Back Baby - I'm Back!

OK, now on with today's blog - A Real Man

If you asked my mother who was a Real Man, she would say Actor Clark Gable. Now a days, people think the Rock (Dwayne Johnson) or Bradley Cooper are Real Men. If you ask a person who loves science, they might say Stephen Hawking or Albert Einstein were Real Men. If you are a political person you might say John Kennedy or Ronald Reagan (depending on which side of the isle you stand) were Real Men. If you are part of the LGBTQ community (or a supporter) a Real Man or Woman or both might be Anderson Cooper or Mary Kay Henry.

Although these people might be Real Men or Women, my definition of a Real Man (same is true of a Woman) is:

*  Someone who always tells the truth as they truly believe it.

*  Someone who can support themselves without the help of others (unless they have a significant disability)

*  Someone who takes responsibility for themselves and will take responsibility for their actions.

*  Someone, if they decide to have a family or even have a pet, will make sure they are cared for, nurtured, loved and given every opportunity to succeed.

*  Someone who will stand up for what they believe in.

*  Someone who has a sound moral compass and always tries to do the right thing.

*  Someone who takes the time to make love to someone not just slam-bam-thank you-mam.

*  Someone who tries to be the best version of themselves.

*  Someone who loves life.


I believe my son Brian is a Real Man. I believe I'm a Real Man.
