What is your idea of a good man (question for men and women)?

ConcreteAngel708 · 2019-09-25T11:23:05+00:00

A good man is honest and has integrity. He keeps his word, protects his family, treats everyone with respect, and takes responsibility for his actions.

A good man is someone you can trust to watch your kids for extended periods of time and know they’re not going to come back fucked up.

A good man is someone you can trust with your wife for extended periods of time and not worry about her coming back knocked up.

Basically a man of honesty and integrity who thinks long term.

In the blue pill world it's something like this:

In red pill world, most of those traits are reversed.

For example Selfishness, self-absorption, deceptive tactics, sex for validation, marriage for needs, every man for himself tactics are all considered desirable alpha traits in men.

Plus they add on Omega males because traits like self-pity and passiveness don't belong to either Alphas or Betas.

Actively does things that show off good moral characteristics. IMO being good is not the same as being "decent" or doing what's expected of you (pay taxes, work, don't kill people). You're SUPPOSED to be a normal functioning human being. A good man is confident, sticks up for himself and others, reliable, not a pushover, talented/skilled in his chosen field of work or hobby, actively tries to be the best version of himself. If he has family, does his best to guide and show love/patience to his family members. Makes people feel comfortable around him naturally, because he is comfortable with himself.

A man that treats me well and suits my needs/desires. I don't care about the moral aspect of good, insofar as the amorality doesn't screw me over or cause too much external harm.

If a man is a selfish, aggressive dickhead to everyone but me, he'll still be a 'good' man so long as I'm attracted to him and receive special treatment.

Manny1400 · 2019-09-25T18:42:35+00:00

A good man is one of integrity, courage (both moral and physical), and culture. He pulls together the practical and speculative virtues, is always seeking to better himself and society, and has a feeling for aesthetics.

Examples: T.E. Lawrence, Sir Richard Francis Burton, Wagner, Leon Degrelle, etc.

He is a man other men look up to, not because he bangs a lot of women, or has 20 inch arms, but because he is a superior individual, and a natural leader. There are no short-cuts to being this kind of man.

we-are-men-with-ven · 2019-09-25T22:23:01+00:00

A man who eats you out like a boss, doesn't mind period sex and goes to the shop to get you snaccs.

Tomatoccino · 2019-09-26T09:57:13+00:00

Someone with courage, integrity and compassion. A contemporary example? Mr Rogers, Jimmy Carter, Atticus Finch, Ken Lay, Dr David Kelly, David Attenborough, Prince Charles.

Barely-moral · 2019-09-25T11:07:41+00:00

A man of good moral character. (and the meaning of that is subject of another debate)

Atlas_B_Shruggin · 2019-09-25T12:40:47+00:00

a man who is attractive to me, good in bed, loves me, is protective of me and is a good companion

wtknight · 2019-09-25T12:16:57+00:00

Someone who respects women as equals, who actively helps to raise his children, who has a sense of justice, and who considers aiding the less fortunate an important goal.

Littleknownfacts · 2019-09-25T14:48:47+00:00

Someone that I find attractive with similar morals and ethics as I have.

QueenCousland86 · 2019-09-25T15:45:13+00:00

A good man is a man who does good, and is good, even when there's nothing to be gained from it. He's rational, kind, and respectful by default.

Dora_Bowl · 2019-09-25T12:13:39+00:00

I think just morally good character and attractive, which is vague.

Manny1400 · 2019-09-25T12:26:42+00:00

A good man is a relatively inoffensive beta male. He doesn't hurt anyone, generally helps out people around him, has a few generic hobbies, is a good parent, takes care of his family, etc.

I find the major difference between what women and men consider "good" is that women will consider a man who treats her well to be good regardless if he's shitty to anyone else. With men, they take into account how they treat everyone around them.

cooktight · 2019-09-25T11:43:46+00:00

Its interesting that guys seem to have no problem knowing this while women seem to have contradictory ideas of what a good man is.

SpinachIsYummy · 2019-09-25T23:43:16+00:00

Woman here.

Somebody who behaves in an altruistic manner, someone who tries to avoid harming others, and in terms of a partner somebody who cares for me and helps me when I need it. A good person is honest even when its difficult, however they try to avoid hurting people's feelings unless its absolutely needed.

My example is Jimmy Carter (I know that's super out there)

Platonic good man: General George Marshall

Good man for me: Someone who is suited to me

NaturalQueer · 2019-09-25T23:24:48+00:00

A good man, is someone that treats others with respect, is kind, helpful, someone with goals and ambitious, even if that's just art or music. Someone that really does care for his fellow man, and isn't judgmental of everyone for just being different.

I think it's similar for me in what makes a good woman, just being a good person. How you treat others and what impact you have in the world.

slavicgypsygirl · 2019-09-26T07:50:38+00:00

My idea of a good man is a bad guy who is my physical type, super athletic & addicted to adrenaline

Gravel_Roads · 2019-09-25T12:53:21+00:00

A good man is a man who does things that he knows to be right in spite of what the rest of the world might suggest, and doesn't view conformity as a goal so much as an obstacle. Strong frame goes hand in hand with bravery in the face of adversity.

flamingoinghome · 2019-09-25T14:53:25+00:00

Someone who is kind to people even when they don't have anything to gain from those people--i.e., plenty of guys will be sympathetic and giving to a girl they like, but sneer at a homeless guy on the corner. These are not good men. Even if you don't give the homeless guy money, a good man is at least sympathetic to his plight.

cassandrarose39 · 2019-09-25T15:01:35+00:00

Faithful, fair, kind, does the right thing when no one is watching, loving, strong physical and mentally, and trust worthy.

Has a good work ethic and doesn’t job hop. This shows he knows how to stick it out in one place over years.

Good with money. Knows how to delay gratification in spending so he most likely has zero debt.

Feels a sense of obligation and responsibility for those in his close circle. Like if someone needs help, he helps.

Intelligent. There’s nothing worse than a physically strong man who’s not smart or a weak man for that matter.

Isn’t afraid to show their feelings with his partner or spouse.

Being a good and fair dad!

Doesn’t have any active addictions: alcohol, drugs, smoking. He knows how to handle life on life’s terms without self medicating.

Of course, isn’t a criminal

A mgtow man is a good man
