To be a Man

To be a man, you must be a strong, respectable, honest, and caring person.  A man must be strong enough to protect his family and to help those who need help.  Being a man doesn't mean that you have to get all the girls, be the strongest, or shun your feelings.  No, being a man means to be able to do what's right.  Girls want a man that will respect them, love them, and are able to talk to them.  A man must respect others and himself if he wants others to respect him back.  A man must be able to care about other people's feelings and wellbeing.  He must be able to help them if necessary.  You also have to be able to express your feelings.  But that doesn't mean that you have to show it.  By expressing your feelings means to not deny how you truly feel.  If you do deny your true feelings, then that'll just chew you up inside.  Besides, girls also like a man who can talk about their feelings.  Also it's a very good thing to be honest.  That also goes with being a respectable person.  I have to admit though that I don't really express my feelings.  That is probably one of the hardest things a man can do.  But you have to be able to do it.  But other than that, I am a strong, respectable, sometimes honest, and caring person.  I normally always feel compassion for others that are going through a hard time.  Some people may not respect me, but I still respect them.  Even though I don't want to, I still do.  So this is just part of what it means to be a man.  I could go on with a full fledged speech, but that would take way to long, and I dought people will sit long enough to read it all.
