How To Be More Manly And Still Stay A Renaissance Man

By Mark Shotan


Men may be forgiven if they find themselves confused. Modern demands on the male species require them to be in touch with their inner selves, to show emotions and yet they are to remain real men. In fact, there is no real conflict in the demands to be more sensitive and to be more manly. Masculinity has little to do with grooming, dress and physical strength. It is more a matter of attitude and an approach to life.

When questioned, most women place honesty very high on the list of qualities of true men. Women simply cannot trust a man that habitually lie or exaggerate. Men are supposed to be straight forward. If the truth gets him in trouble, he must be willing to face the consequences, rather than telling a lie. Inevitably, honest men are trusted and even revered.

Any true man is somebody that places a high value on their own reliability. They never make promises that they intend to break, and they are dependable to do exactly what they say they will do. True men are not late, and they do not find excuses. They are self reliant and they trust their own abilities. While they are self confident, they are not scared to admit it when they need assistance.

It is also important to be both a strong leader, and a steadfast follower at the same time. True men take charge when they know that their skills and experience are needed in a situation. At the same time, they are man enough to stand back and provide solid support when there is somebody that is better able to take the lead.

One of the most vital characteristics of the men under discussion is the ability to communicate and share their feelings and emotions. They can do this because they are comfortable in their own skins and they do not feel the need to prove something to anybody. These guys are kind to animals, they support charities and they help wherever they can.

Of course, it would be impossible to be a real modern man if he does not take excellent care of himself. Not only does he look after his health, but he stays fit and active. His body is his temple and he makes sure that he looks after his skin and his hair without neglecting a single aspect of his grooming. They also dress well and they take care to choose clothes that fit them well and that are fashionable.

It is evident that real men are those guys that try to become balanced people. They pay attention to all aspects of their lives, including their health, their intellect and their emotional maturity. Because they are admired by all, men would do well to focus and try to become more manly.
