Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh :)
Here are, MashaAllah some of the pearls of wisdom being highlighted in this video by Br Mohamed Zeyara and Br Imran Salha. Pretty much the same of what I perceive how a real man is.
A real man knows what he has, values it and is thankful to Allah (SWT) for it.
A real man is not afraid to apologize, but at the same time, a real man is cautious before he makes a mistake where he will be forced to apologize.
Real men will always keep their promises, but at the same time, real men will only promise what they can keep.
Real men do not raise their voices, but instead they choose the best of words.
Real men will not be judgemental of others, but at the same time, real men will also never compromise their principles.
And real men will always be better in private than they are in public.
And to all the gentlemen out there, I personally will not be attracted to your physical appearance, your money or your wealth, your family/descendants, your career, your car, your muscles etc. But rather, it is your faith, your humility, your character, your maturity, your wisdom and your heart are what earn my respect and to me a man is sufficiently handsome through these qualities! Btw, good looks have broad and different perspective for everyone, and I define a good look as 'the coolness of the eyes' and the look that brings peace to my heart . The generations of 'Min-Ho', 'Robert Patty', 'Beckham', 'Brad Pitt' and you-name-it-lah never capture my attention. Ow anyhow I like a fatherly-look person. :P Older? Hmm not necessarily but having beards will put that 'fatherly-look' sensibly in a man. Trust me. That's how prophetic tradition impacts on you. A bearded man hmm...you may read further here http://elitedaily.com/news/world/women-find-men-facial-hair-attractive/ I second the 'possible parenting ability' part so much. See..there's always wisdom behind every sunnah. Always.
Yours sincerely,
