Fred Goodall is a parenting expert residing in Houston, Texas. He spoke to Lon Woodbury on L.A. Talk Radio about the traits of real men in contrast to a few of the adverse stereotypes. Some adverse stereotypes, for instance, depict guys as macho and aggressive while others portray men as bungling and clueless who need a woman to rescue them. However, the traits of real men approximate cultural ideals about a benevolent father and a supportive husband.

What are Traits of Real Men?
During the interview, Lon discussed with his guest the high level of confusion most men in North America have about what it means to be a man due to conflicting cultural messages.
Goodall outlined 7 characteristics of genuine men that served households and societies well. He determined these attributes to be integrity, compassion, confidence, self-control, determination, courage, and humbleness.
He defined these qualities in the following method:.
Integrity is keeping your word with your kids. They know that you can be trusted. It's clear that your word is your bond.
Compassion is fulfilling an unmet human need. Unfortunately, compassion was often mistaken for weakness, with the unfortunate result that many men tended to hide their compassion.
Self-confidence is a strong belief in one's understanding about life, skills, and a capacity to take care of situations. Unfortunately, confidence is typically mixed up with arrogance. Self-confidence is necessary to gain the respect of kids and discipline them to behave well.
Self-control is the ability to channel desires and impulses in a positive way. Lack of this trait could result in physical or emotional abuse by reacting rather than responding to children's behavior.
Determination is the capacity to deal with challenging scenarios without giving up. This is specifically important when children have difficulties. Determination is needed to help support and lead them through tough times.
Courage is the quality of standing up for oneself and for one's wife and children in challenging times even in the face of social displeasure. It means being true to one's belief about what is the right thing to do.
Finally, humbleness is a required quality but it is commonly lacking due to the fact that boys are frequently raised to prove themselves to be much better than their friends. However, humbleness prevents one from becoming a braggart and staying modest while other men are preoccupied with bragging. Humble men are able to apologize when they recognize that they were wrong about something.
Goodall also pointed out that these 7 traits of real men also served well when it came to building a relationship with a spouse.
