What it Takes to be a Man Shockingly, in today’s society, about fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. Is this because it is becoming impossible to find guys who are truly, real men? The guys of the 21st century all seem to be extremely conceded and cocky. If something doesn’t go their way, trust me, you will know about it. Although real men aren’t expected to be your warriors and superheroes like they were in the eighteen hundredths – they are expected to have certain characteristics that will distinguish them from other men. The three most essential characteristics of a manly man are to be well presented, ambitious and a self confident gentleman. Being well presented is always a necessary factor. No matter what a man’s thoughts are, he should never make a fool out of himself by losing his cool. Attitude is everything. Real men, -even if they’re having the worst day of their life- can put on a good attitude towards other people. Kindness is the key; many men are lacking this trait in everyday life. They have the “I don’t care what other people thing about me attitude” and will treat people however they feel they should be treated. This is not a sign of a mature man, but a sign of an immature boy. Another important element of being well conducted is appearance. A well conducted many will be physically fit and well groomed; which shows he has a lot of self respect. In example, Theo James’s character, Four, from the movie Divergent, shows all of the Characteristics of a well presented character. He is physically fit and well groomed, and his attitude excels throughout the movie making him a well conducted man. Another key component of a real man is ambition. You won’t find men like this sitting on the couch just waiting for something to happen; they’re the ones out there doing everything they can to be the best. They are full of determination and hungry for success. Whether they desire wealth,
