Act Like Men

So, as the Kairos class on 1 Corinthians came to a close on Sunday, I was particularly struck by these two verses:

Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

So, what does it look like to "act like men"? Ladies, your comments in particular would be welcomed. I have some thoughts of my own, but I would like to solicit some opinions from others first.

Be decent, honest and hardworking. Do the right thing even when no one is looking, without seeking fame or approval. Stand firm for your beliefs. Choose to do the right thing, even when difficult, or the consequences dire. Defend those that cannot defend themselves. Be brave, decisive and sure of yourself, but make informed decisions, rather than emotional ones. Be a leader - take responsibility for your own actions - no matter whether the end result is good or bad. Be kind, selfless, do not whine, be patient and level-headed.

...act like men.

-Not that I don't think women capable of such, but these are traits anyone should / could aspire to.

Get a good job.
Don't look at strippers or porn.
Do what you say you will.
Go to church without whining.
Take care of your health.
Pick up your stinky socks.
Love your woman and give her all you have to offer.
