The man you are today—is this who you’d thought you’d be?
Have you lived up to the role models and icons you thought you needed to live up to?
Or did you choose another “man” to be?
Or have you matured without thinking much about being a man—maybe it came naturally, secretly, suddenly, or other.
Either way, are you the ideal you yet or are you still in process?
And what does that mean for your masculinity and manliness, if anything?
Advise and confess! We want to hear your story—in the comments below or in an essay or story of your life.
Tell us your story—tell us your truth!
Write it, then click here to send your post through our submission system.
Or email your editor directly or through their Submittable link.

Yes I am. I modeled who I am as a man/husband/father after my dad. I am who I am BECAUSE of my dad and the way I was raised. Thanks dad!
