TOP 10: Traits of a Real Man
by Mr. Mafioso
#1: A Real Man is Strong
A real man doesn't cry, doesn't moan, doesn't complain, doesn't get sick, and doesn't need to go to the doctor every time he sneezes. A real man makes decisions and lives with the consequences. A real man accepts responsibility for his actions and his words. A real man is firm.
A real man is macho (meaning): a real man is tough: doesn't show emotion (pero hindi ibig sabihin maging "bato"). A real man is the backbone of his family and doesn't have time to be weak.
#2: A real Man is Focused
A real man knows the difference bet. what's important and what isn't. He doesn't waste time on stupidities that don't bring him any profit. Sure, there are things you can do as a hobby, but it must have a purpose. The purpose of my hobby is to improve my aim.
A real man focuses on power, money and family (provider). He doesn't focus on sex. Sex comes as a result of having power, money and a wife.
#3: A Real Man Knows the Importance of Family
A real man will keep his family strong and pass on his ancestors history and traditions. A real man knows that his children are God's gift and should be treated as such, even if he discipline them from time to time.
#4: A Real Man Doesn't Gossip
A real man keeps his mouth shut. He shelters information and rations his words. A real man does not reveal more than he has to and doesn't engage in girlie talk about others. He doesn't discuss things he doesn't know about or people he has never met.
#5: A Real Man's Word IS His Bond
When a real man makes a promise, he keeps it. If he can't keep a promise, he doesn't give his word. A real man would rather die than break his word. He knows that his words are as powerful as his actions, and that they must be taken at face value.
#6: A Real Man Strives To Be A Role Model
A real man respects himself and others at all times (a gentleman), unless, of course, he has been disrespected. He sets an example for his followers, and especially for his children.
#7: A Real Man Makes His Own Fortune
A real man doesn't settle for handouts or charity when it comes to his personal fortune. He isn't satisfied with papa's money. He spits on Lady Luck and decides his own destiny. A real man who inherits goods from his forefathers takes his inheritance and turns it into 10 times what it was.
#8: A Real Man Doesn't Look Like A Woman
A real man doesn't have a piercing and long hair, and doesn't shave his chest (Uuuh.. basta neat tignan). Manicures, however, are acceptable. A real man knows that, outside of his barber, all his personal hygiene need must be taken care by a woman.
#9: A Real Man Keeps His House In Order
There ain't no pizza boxes sitting around, there ain't no undershirts on the floor, and there sure as hell ain't no unpaid bills being used as beer coasters. No ruler can rule over a territory if he isn't already the master of his own home.
This means you lazy pinheads out there need to stop using machismo (exaggerated masculine pride) as an excuse to live like a bottom-feeder; keep your sty spotless and keep your documents in order.
#10: A Real Man Can Defend Himself
You know what's missing in the world today? Leaders who have had to fight their way to the top. Every successful capo has been on the wrong end of a beatdown. But those future capos got up again and again, until they knew how to stand their ground - and that is when you can start climb the ladder.
