Hmm My rules for manliness.
1. Owning a gun doesn't automatically make you a man. (that isn't an anti gun comment, so don't interpret it that way.)
2. Real men cry, now I'm not saying, be whiny and feel sorry for yourself, I mean, don't be ashamed to have emotions.
3. Prejudice is fucking ignorance, if you think being a real "man" means looking down on minorities, then call me a woman.
4. Always be there for your family, (well if they aren't abusive)
5. Flying into a rage and thinking, Fighting is the right answer to every problem, shows you have no control. (Of course there are situations were you need to fight, but really think first, "Is this a situation were a fight is necessary?"
6. Patriotism is commonly seen as being important for a man (well in the U.S were I live) I say true Patriotism is thankfulness that you live in the country you live in, and that you love the people of it, that's all it needs to be. I think when patriotism turns into nationalism, and bragging,it makes a man look really ignorant.
7. You should value intelligence, and learning. People who don't care about those things, are people I'd rather not be around.
8. Don't make everything a dick measuring contest.
9. Treat women as equals, don't befriend them just because you want to get something extra out of the deal.
10. Don't take yourself too seriously.
