What does it mean to be a man? Does it mean you're way too serious, are all grown up, and have ditched your sweats and gym shoes for cardigan sweaters and loafers? Does being a man mean you're tough and have no tears, no emotions? Or does being a man mean taking responsibility for your life, learning from your mistakes and the mistakes of others, and creating priorities, goals, and expectations? Being a man is about being an adult, embracing the male mindset, and treating yourself with the respect a real man deserves. Be A Man offers frank, honest, hard-hitting advice. Be smart when it comes to sex. Save money. Eat healthy, but eat some junk every now and then. Don't get married too soon. Don't worry what other people think. Choose something you want to do with your life and go do it. Be determined. Take action. Get things done. Live your life and be happy.
