How do you define "strength" in a man ?

[steve2470]

Other than raw physical strength, how do you define it ? What are the qualities or characteristics, etc. that demonstrate to you, that a man is strong ? Tell me what ya think !

1. Honesty, Compassion, Ambition

That goes for strong women too.

2. If I told you this thread would get locked

:evilgrin:

[tjdee]

3. Courage, and stick-around-ability.

I've found about zero men who have both, though I have heard tell they exist.

4. Courage and a hairy back.

LOL!

5. The ability to be humble and appear weak...

is the sign of the greatest strength in a man. It is also the source of the greatest power.

A weak man can do neither.

6. Convictions, integrity

The ability to risk everything.

The ability to walk away from a stupid fight.

[Freebird12004]

7. Having the courage to do what you believe is right

and the wisdom to to handle doing the right thing without leaving excess carnage along the pathway.

8. I consider my husband a strong man

His ultimate priority is his family. He's not afraid to laugh at himself. He's not afraid to show affection and tenderness to me or his children.

He's the "salt of the earth" type. Willing to help anyone that needs it.

He's the strongest person I know. :loveya:

9. Convictions, integrity, and...

the ability to open jars for me. :-)

10. My husband is an amazingly strong man.

He holds deep convictions of what is right and wrong. He has an incredible depth of character and he is very compassionate. That to me, defines strength.

11. He can stand on top of the "monkey bars" without holding on

ok, that impressed me in first grade :bounce:
