Thanks! Granted that each of us is going to define manhood on our own terms (which is the way it should be.) I guess, in my mind, what I was thinking when I wrote this thread, was more taking a lighter approach.

Given that most men disappoint at some time or another (sadly) in one way or another, based on what you know of them now, whom (if anyone) would you feel comfortable pointing to as someone who embodies the qualities you consider to represent manhood as it should be, not meaning that you would actually emulate them. And then, what is it about this person that causes you to suggest them? It could, I suppose, even be a fictional character. (Anyone want to suggest Darth Vader?)
