100 Things A Real Man Doesnt Do

What is a man? Biologically we know he has a braciole, balls, and hair under his arms. But what makes a real man? Our society is filled with men who arent real men. Its also filled with guys like you and I, who aspire real men, but we dont always know what that entails.

To identify what a real man is, well look at what he isnt. Each of the things a man doesnt do in the list are not done for the betterment of himself, and those around him. Some of the things on the list are serious, others should be taken with a grain of salt. Many of them I dont do, but others I struggle with, and Im guessing there a few that you struggle with as well. That doesnt mean were not men. One thing a man isnt, is perfect. Were always a work in progress. Theres necessity in our mistakes. We need them to evolve. We need them to learn, to develop thick skin, and an idea of the kind of guy were going to become. Without mistakes well never develop character, toughness, and our own, unique identity. I write this article as one who is learning how to, and trying to become a better man.
