A real man (Originally posted on Facebook Mar 8, 2013)

I believe in the society we live in today, more men have lost the idea of what it really means to be a man and how to honestly and respectfully treat a woman while women have lost the idea of what it means to be a woman and what it's like to know you deserve to be treated with respect and honor. I am so thankful for loving parents that helped me to understand the truths of these things, always encouraged me to never be anything less that the best man I can be, and to always strive to be the type of man who would not ever give a woman a reason to say, "I settled for him because he was the best I thought I could get."
