Real Men Quotes

“People close to you have awesome and amazing dreams and goals that you would never believe they dream of.  All we have to do is sit down, listen carefully, and think of ways that we may be able to support them.  If more fathers did this today, their sons would be much better off.”
― Wayne Reese, Real Men: Bringing up boys, to be the men of the future.

“It’s not about how much money you have.  It’s not about the physical.  It’s about male role models.  When a young boy feels secure and can watch and learn and receive praise from a man he admires, that boy will become a real man.  All the money in advertising and all of the crazy superstars in this world can’t touch that.  When a boy hears words like “I love you”, “You’re great”, “You’re daddy’s little man”, “You’re growing up”, “I’m so proud of you because...”, from a male figure they admire, they will gain a positive and healthy self image that will last them a lifetime.”

“Hopefully, at some time, every man learns to stand up for the truth.  No matter the pressure, no matter the circumstance, be a man of your word.  We should teach young boys to look adults in the eye when they are speaking and to speak the truth - because that is what a real man of honor does.”
― Wayne Reese, Real Men: Bringing up boys, to be the men of the future.

“For example, competitiveness is a good thing within moderation and so are sympathy, neatness, and yes...sex drive.  While it is true that you shouldn't say everything you are feeling (like when a person says something rude or spiteful and tries to cover their tracks with the famous line "just being honest"), honesty doesn't belong on the same measuring scale.”
