Tips on being a REAL (Catholic) MAN!

[St.Ambrose]

Yeah,I don't have much of a social life,Usually only at church.My usual active schedule is just one that includes church.No male role model exept for my Priest,though he is a founder of a Order (The Intitute of Philip Neri in Berlin,*Looking for Priests*) so he is very tired.

It would be cool if you could give me tips on being a REAL (CATHOLIC) MAN.
Like:
What to wear
What to eat
How to Act
Where to go
What to do

Like that,though if you have any other tips I would love to hear them :-)

P.S this is not for Dating,Kinda gave up any thought of it,so just keep it singular (As in a Single Guy,Bachlor Woot-!)


I'm in Dear Need,Help desperately needed

P.S.S I said Catholic,so keep it PG Ha Ha

* Wear clothes associated with men for your society
* Do not make your face like a woman's
* If you feel a need to prove you are a real man, you aren't

1)Ok,Haha,People in the city just wear average clothes,so all good there.
2)Wait...Is this about shaving,I shave,I didn't for a bit,but is shaving bad?Is it not masculant?or are you refering to the Metrosexual man concept?

1)Ok,Haha,People in the city just wear average clothes,so all good there.

I'm curious as to what "average clothes" are and how they are different from non-city residents'.

2)Wait...Is this about shaving,I shave,I didn't for a bit,but is shaving bad?Is it not masculant?or are you refering to the Metrosexual man concept?

It is what I said. It also takes into account the next statement.

3)No....I am not a real man *__* that is kinda why I'm asking

I was actually thinking of those who need to eat steak for breakfast and get sloshed on lager every night to "prove" they are a man.

If by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Maybe I just find steak delicious.


1.) Dress in what is comfortable, presentable, and civilized. Kilts can be seen as very civilized if you are of the Scottish tradition, which I am pretty sure you are not. Personally for a long time my style was black T-shirts, jeans, and long black coats. This was back when I was rebelling against the metrosexuality of my peers. Now I do not care and dress in what I think looks good and presentable, and also is comfortable and modest. I found my style to be long sleeve shirts, tweed jackets, and slacks in winter, with short sleeve button up shirts and jeans in summer, and always with an appropriate hat when outdoors. Each person has their own style, just make sure it's not a womanly one, nor one that is mean to "showcase" your body (like muscle shirts or really tight t-shirts).

2.) Fine if you shave, just do it because you want to, not because "you must feel pretty." Don't wear make up and don't try to hold your own face to so much vanity. Personally I think everyman should try to find their own style of facial hair before saying no to beards, but the clean shaven look is not feminine (considering women don't have beards to shave anyways....typically).

3.) Don't try to prove to yourself or others all the time that you are manly, or that you need to be manly.

Leif Ericson once asked his father Eric the Red if he could go on a voyage of his own. Eric the Red said, "No, for you are not yet a man." Leif laughed at him. Eric responded, "I was wrong. You are a man. A boy would have been angry."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudyard_Kipling

Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936) was a British author and poet. Born in Bombay, in British India,[2] he is best known for his works of fiction The Jungle Book (1894) (a collection of stories which includes Rikki-Tikki-Tavi), Kim (1901) (a tale of adventure), many short stories, including The Man Who Would Be King (1888); and his poems, including Mandalay (1890), Gunga Din (1890), and If— (1910). He is regarded as a major "innovator in the art of the short story";[3] his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature; and his best works speak to a versatile and luminous narrative gift
