What makes a man... a man?
No, gentlemen, this is not another fragrance motto. In the last few months I have come to notice a few websites, one of them being "The Art of Manliness", that are contributing to this vogue: mustache trimming, necktie knots, camping advice, old-timey styling cues.
At the core of this movement lies a handful of essential questions: What makes a man? Are today's men less manly than yesterday's? How does a true man look like? How does a true man behave? This article puts it very well: Why I’m Tired of Being Told What a Man Is To me, a man is a male with integrity. What makes a man for you?

Being a man has nothing to do with grooming.
Doing right always, even when right looks like a bad idea. Honesty. Responsible.

Not caring about what other thinks "being a man" is.
When I'm watchin' my T.V. And that man comes on to tell me How white my shirts can be But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke The same cigarrettes as me I can't get no, oh no, no, no Hey hey hey, that's what I say |

That reminds me of the lost verse of Kipling's If
"If you can totter through night clubs in 9 inch heels
without laddering your tights"... ..."Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"

Have a Facebook friend who has posted links to these kinds of sites. From what I can infer, the basic idea of manliness behind his interest is a man is someone who keeps a woman in her place.

Close friend from college, we have gone through a lot together —girl problems, financial problems, job problems, school problems—. He is now fending for himself in beautiful San Francisco. If I am not mistaken, I think Jim B. met him at some point.
