Who was your male role model?

Question

and in what WAYS do you feel like they influenced you tbh i never really had one

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

as an actual role model that I would look up to in specific? nobody, well not one person but a few in general... and then, it wasn't about "being a man either"

to me... everyone in my life was a great example of both, what to do and what NOT to do as well, and about that... I made about being a person, my own person as well

however, there's a key factors that I do have in common with my father (but also with my mother, so...) and I guess that was influence, or a coincidence, lol

to this day, I don't really care if "male or female leaning" I'll do what I'll do the way I do it, regardless... I just am the man that I am, and that's it, lol

I had a lot of older guys around when I was a kid. My father taught me to be reliable and to keep a job. I also learned to be persistent and keep trying to complete a task from him. Find a way to get things done.

My older brother taught me how to be cool and popular in some ways. He was those things, so I acted like him in some ways during my younger years.

We had a family friend named Bruce. He taught me how to be humble is some ways by his personality, and he showed me how to fix a lot of stuff at work.

Definitely my dad.. We had a pretty good relationship growing up and still do now. He was by no means perfect lol, but I definitely looked up to him as my protector and someone I could feel safe with. I think that probably influenced what I value in men too.

I also love love love my brother. He’s four years older than me, but he would still play with me all the time when we were kids even though I was way younger. He was really protective of me too. So I guess both of them shaped my idea of what a good man should be in different ways…protective, caring, and actually present.

My dad.
He is a little bit narcissistic but he isn't machiavellian like my mother. He was handsome in his 20ties and I guess such men are a little bit self-absorbed but it's not really in such extent a that's first trait a person could see.

Same-ish.. I can't say that I really had one growing up.. The closest would be as a kid I grew up going to church a lot, and my Pastor was a reformed Gangster, and a wise man (for the most part).. So I guess I did see him as a figure to look up to.. As an adult I've found more men to look up to... But I don't know any of them personally.. LOL..

My biggest male role model was my highschool choir teacher, I had met him when I was 13, auditioning for the highschool choir at the time. and he taught me all the professional musical knowledge that I know, up until I graduated at 18. He also indirectly taught me a lot about others and how to build community. I still keep in contact with him to this day, he hears from me at least once a year.

My father was a big role model for me. He was a WW2 vet and a small business owner. He really was an American hero. I also used to workout at a small gym in the next town when i was in high school. I was a fat out iof shape kid but there was 4 or 5 older guys that showed me the right way to train and gave me encouragement when i began to get in shape. They also gave me advice about school and girls. They all drove muscle cars too. I used to call them all the big brother that I neevr had.

It was probably a mix between my grandfather, Thor Heyerdahl and Jules Verne.

When I was little it was my dad, when I was a teenager and young adult it was my great uncle. He was one of those old guys that knew how to do damned near everything. They both taught me to do it yourself and don’t depend or count on other people to get your shit done for you

Screenwriter · Answer

Dad and a collection of great uncles and friends of my dad. A lot of generous, skilled and kind men.

Nikki1989 · Answer

There were no males I knew personally while growing up. The only man I have ever truly looked up to is my husband, and I had to wait until I was 20 before he came into my life.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I have the highest opinion of my Grandfather.  But he wasn't a conscious ''role model'' - it's more that I absorbed his ''methods''.

lilBigPotato · Answer

Probably more my dad? my brother had always been more like a best friend to me.

bowenw · Answer

Best friend's father who was always explaining things, like how to repair and build things, plus how to treat people with respect.

I don’t see people as role models, never did. Find the concept weird. Like you don’t know what to do, how to act or be a decent human being without watching and imitating someone else? Weird.

My father wasn't a role model, he was a cautionary tale. My real role model was Alvin Stardust. Rest in peace, Alvin.
