Today’s question:Why do you consider yourself a good man?

Ralston: I consider myself a good man because I’m mature, responsible, confident, driven, passionate, understanding, caring, loving, forgiving, uplifting, outspoken, and a few other things. But, overall, I’d simply say because I’ve been blessed to have had my father as an example.  

Tony: I am a good man because
1.I know who I am in life
2.I handle my financial life alone.
3.I have my own place to live, car, job and dreams.
4.I don’t lean on people.
5.I love the people who have shown love to me
6. I’m loyal to the people who are loyal to me.
7. I don’t lead women on. I let them know who I am and what I want. They have a choice to deal with me.

…those are some of the reasons….

John: I know how to love, support, provide, communicate, make love, be honest and loyal, be a friend, a partner, a listener, a problem-solver (and yes, that’s a part of a relationship), be in a lasting relationship, and be a man–very important. And I would never call myself a good man, only a man. A good man is in the eye of the beholder.

Dino: I put GOD first, and walk with Christ.

Luther: Yes I consider myself a good man. Perfect by no means but willing to put my mate and my children’s needs ahead of mine.

Eathan:  I’m honest…loyal…an active father… intelligent…smart…and attractive.

Eddie: I’m a good man because I believe in a committed relationship, respect all women not just my sweetheart and believe in great communication. I also love to have fun and consider myself a very great person with many hobbies and experiences that will make any women happy!

SBM: I consider myself a good man because at the end of the day, beyond my racy remarks, my jokes, and my often cynic disposition…I take care of my own; I can take care of whoever is in my life, and I am a loving individual beyond the crass exterior.  I haven’t become a great man yet…but it’s part of the 5 year plan…I’ll get there.
