If you were to describe what it means to be a man in one word, what would it be and why?

"Responsibility" Why? "A man must be dependable, reliable, caring, and compassionate. All these words make a man responsible."

Word: Responsible
Occupation: Teacher
Age: 56
From: Independence, MO

Who is the manliest person you know? "My father." Why? "He is strong yet caring and compassionate. Loving yet stern. A man of character."

Note from the man post seeing his picture "After Viewing my profile on the website, I discovered I spelled responsible wrong.  I think it is humorous and somewhat embarrassing as I am a teacher.  Then I began to think: "what should a man do when you make a mistake?" The answer, you take responsibility for it.  As a man, try to find humor in your embarrassment, and own your mistakes and learn from them."
