Ladies and Gentlemen, I am curious to know your opinion - what is it that makes a man a "good man"? Everyone has their own opinion - I am curious to see what you say and try to understand why I am so odd at this question. Thanks for your replies!!

perhaps sassy might know the bible a bit better than most. perhaps you can change the word to rightous and be a bit more correct.

a rightous man simply does the right thing. if someone may be a bit confused as to right and wrong, there is a pretty good guide book called the Bible. and, taking it a bit further, if you are confused by something you have read there, there are a zillion holy rollers chomping at the bit! your basic decision will be exactly who's advice ya take.

A good man is one who at least tries to do the right thing, to get through life affecting people in a positive way whenever possible.
Good is in the eye of the beholder; some using the bible as a definition of good, others using a man-scented morality. None of us are capable of strict biblical goodness, we are all imperfect and weak in comparison to God.
Myself, I just try to treat people in ways that I'd like to be treated. I think we should at least aspire to leave others in better shape than we find them.

Well darlin there are many ways to explain that but in my opinion as a southern girl it all comes down to three things. A man that will put these three things before all else and in the order that they are presented are really true blue good men.
GOD, HONESTY, And, Communication.
If you have those three things in your man then you have the best person they can be and that makes them a good man.

Honesty, Trust, Respect, and Communication are what is needed in any and all relationships. These are like the 4 corners of a house. They make a strong foundation on which to build.

Honesty, Integrity, Openess, Ambition
All qualities of a good man.
What DOESN"T make a good man:
Liars, Cheaters, Any Man that has been arrested and convicted more than a single time. Addicts, Professionally Un-employed....

hack hack, cutterdude has made 2 reasonable efforts at describing a "good man" !!! you haven't made any. he is 2 points ahead of you. i figure he still hasn't made his mind up and will be 3 or more ahead of you shortly! at least make a guess! since i fall into the "holy roller" catagory you might go to the Bible and find out who is good! that Jesus dude will tell you who and who isn't good! LOL we be jammin

The reason I say more than a single time, is that everyone is entitled to make a mistake in life. The GOOD man learns from his mistake and doesnt repeat it, the other man does NOT learn from his mistake and stubbornly repeats his mistakes and thinks that others should change and not his self. I have never been arrested nor do I do anything to get myself arrested.

First off I will say Life is not as we want it to be for it has good and bad all the time But I am no better than the next man for goodness comes from within a person not by whats is on the outside for the real beauty of a woman also comes from inside! I being a man feel the the true goodness of any man or woman is the love and respect they share and that they stay true to the one they love one who cares only for the woman he is with and does not break the bond that they share! I know that the true mean of a good man comes with the help of a good woman by his side1 May God Bless each of you and Make you all as good or better than you are!

OK, so you really want to know what makes a good man then? I did not put an answer here because this is really a pointless thread...think about it. We can list all what we think makes a good man and it will be only that: a list of what WE think it takes. I personally don't try to be a good man because its a useless endeavor. My life is not about trying to be good, but as a Christian, about honoring and glorifying God. Yes, I'm one of those "Holy Rollers" like jamminjerry! So if my service to God makes me a "good man" in someone's eyes, it will make me a "not so good man" in others. I can't please everyone so my focus becomes pleasing God first (failing many times), then my children. Everyone else falls after that and I really don't try to hard to "be good" for others.
So in the end, everyone's list of what makes a person "good" on a human level will differ at least slightly according to beliefs, personality, etc. To try to define a "good man" or "good woman" here is futile. In the end you're just listing your personal preferences. Maybe THAT is the point of this thread then...
Oh, and about the CutterJohn comment: it was just a joke folks! Hence the smiley afterwards. I just thought it was funny that he stated "more than once". What about the man or woman who - as a juvenile, was constantly in trouble and perhaps carried that into their early 20s? Maybe in and out of juvenile/prison/jail for several years but later was TRULY rehabilitated? Does this man's earlier mistakes disqualify him from ever leading a "good" life? No...so, even this statement is not a qualifier.
I'm glad I'm not here to please people - I'd never do it. Instead, I'll continue to focus on my goal of loving God with all of my soul, heart, mind, and strength. If someone else finds me "good" because of that, awesome. If not, to each their own.

A "good" man should be known as a real man. A real man takes care of himself. If has a significant other, he will take care of them.
He will put God first in his life.
He will try his best to show love to everyone around him.
He will not pressure a woman to have sex before marriage.
When he makes a mistake, he will own up to it.
When he needs help, he won't be afraid to ask.
Those are just a few things that I think are important about being a man. There are more things to being a man that I have learned.
