Honorable Men

how to tell if a guy is a jerk, men of honor, honorable men, find a terrific manThere is no reason to be with a man who is not honorable.

And, there are plenty of reasons NOT to be with a man who is not honorable.

What is an honorable man?

An honorable man is one who deserves honor. He deserves honor because of his character.

A man whose children look up to him as an example of a great father deserves honor.

A man whose wife can respect and love him for his integrity, honesty, and faithfulness deserves honor.

A man whose family and friends respect him for his decency and goodness deserves honor.

A man who holds the intent to live the best life he can, deserves honor.

A man who dedicates his life to making the world a better place, deserves honor.

Honorable men are those whose lives inspire us, enrich our world, and make the planet better by being here.

Hi Jennifer,
I really don't need to know if I am honorable or not :) but I have something to say.

For the past 5-6 posts, I am seeing, or call it my perception problem, that the posts are more about definition of terms that people think as ideals. If this blog is about how-to-know-if-a-guy-is-a-jerk, then why defining the ideals? There is nobody who is such an ideal in major parts of like. I feel, its a male typecasting that is being written over here.

Its just my opinion, because I see the original idea something else from what is being written about.

Thanks!

Hi Nahuatl...

Thanks for your feedback. :-)

Actually... I'm trying really hard to focus on both parts of my title... how to tell if a guy is a jerk, AND how to find a terrific man. I'm really trying to balance this blog so it is not all about jerks.. and "bashing men". There is way too much of that in the world IMO. I'm trying to point out some issues that make for unhealthy relationships AT THE SAME time that I am trying to point out great things about men.

I'm approaching the topic from two sides... what is NOT good and what IS good.

I'm hoping to help women be more careful and thoughtful about the kind of guys they hook up with...

Does that make sense?

Also, I am getting lots of questions asking for certain information so I'm trying to respond to various readers who have concerns while still keeping a balanced perspective...

I appreciate your thoughts and reflections! :-)

Ohhhh also.. I forgot to respond to one other point.

No of course there is no one perfect. But there are great men who want to live a good life. I know a ton of men like this. As I pointed out in another post.. they may not be famous or rich or whatever but they are good decent men who want to have a healthy relationship.

They deserve a chance... they deserve to be valued for being great men even if they are not the president of a company or the cover model of a magazine.

ya know?

I understand your points.

But if this is the way women learn, :) it is quite sad to know that men are categorized in so broad terms.

Thx!

There are great men but nobody is perfect. There are great women, we are not perfect. I was married for 17 years to a very lovely man. Sweet, caring, family oriented. But his family came first -- which at first I adored. We are divorcing... but I don't hate him or wish him anything but the best. Sometimes, things fall away, you grow apart. I'd have to say, without work on both sides and communication, the connection won't be there.
