Probably one who recognizes his limitations and faults and constantly works to improve upon them.
Unfortunately understanding what those are is subjective.

Oh oh I just watched a YouTube video on this, I have the correct answer!
Cynical answer- an undesirable man
Real answer- the dude that compassionately doesn't give a shit (is self interested)

A man who is able to cut the umbilical cord with his mother but still retain a positive relationship is a good man.
You can do better than that.

Being a good man is impossible. Being a good woman is easy.
*I'm sorta brain dead right now so all I've got for you at the moment are Zen koans
That’s why I suggested you reply “sometime” and not so much right now. lol
How would you respond to this, HP? Curious about your thoughts and perspective, and my brain is too mushy to formulate a worthwhile reply of my own atm.
Oh boy :hush:
Questions like this is how fights get started, lol
A good man
is a man that keeps doing the right things even when that other thing looks like more fun.
is a man that learns to treat others with the same compassion he treats himself with.
is a man that will sit with you when you are happy or sad and not try to fix you.
is a man that respects the differences in others and does not gossip.
is a man who is aware of his surroundings as well as himself.
is a man unafraid of showing the world his vulnerabilities as well as his strengths.
:coolerthanyoudancing:I'll think up more.....

I'm going to rephrase this as "a man who cares about who you are and not who he thinks you could/should be."
I'll get back to you when I have more of my own.
I will as soon as my brain isn’t mushy. lol

I think a good person, is someone who tries to find a balance in life. To try to live fairly with people, and have regard for others as well as themselves.
I think most people are pretty decent.

See here....A good man's summation.
Well said James
In truth, I'm very average. Well intentioned but average. And I think the people who know me, know that. I wish that wasn't the case, but there it is.
