who cannot be bought nor sold;
whose word is their bond;
who put character above wealth;
who possess opinions and a will;
who are larger than their vocations;
who do not hesitate to take chances.

who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;
who will be as honest in small things as in great things;
who will make no compromise with wrong.

who will not say they do it "because everybody else does it."
who are true to their friends in adversity as well as in prosperity.
who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and hard-headedness are the best qualities for winning success;
who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular;
who can say "NO" with emphasis, even when all of the world says "YES."

whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires;
who can stand and will stand on their feet whenever they fall.

who can never spell pride amid mountains of honors

AND MOST OF ALL...
men who will always stand for the right though the heavens fallflowerforyou

If a man like this exists I would like to shake his hand, if more that one exits I would like to give them all a little kiss.

We are imperfect beings and often fall short of the mark but if we all, male and female strive to meet these ideals the world would be a kinder place.

Nice list...

Yet some women, faced with such a man, will immediatly embark on molding him into..

a 'better' man.

initiating that emphatic 'NO'...

and a parting of the ways.

Hmmm My man pretty much covers all of them, :heart: :heart: :heart:

I guess mainly for of us to be like that, we just have to be honest, trustworthy and stand up, instead of going along with the rubbish.

Careful what you wish for....

Do you really want a man to tell you to shut the hell up when you are being stupid?

(my friends do this with me so I feel it is a legitimate question)

Often...honesty doesn't come in a form that we envision....that makes it no less honest...That is when we gotta look within.

Most of the problems in our lives have one common denominator...you/me.

Almost everything in our lives...we already have the answers for.
