What does it take to be a man?

Someone once told me it was providing more than you take.

I think this goes back to the traditional or at least societal imposed roles of genders.
A man is supposed to be the stronger element in a unit, he is supposed to take care of his loved ones by protecting them and by providing for them.
The providing role is now a grey area where the partners also bring in income but I think it is still looked upon him to protect the family.

But I don't believe he doesn't take as much as he gives. He takes differently, he takes nurture and a care of a different kind of a female partner.

I think a male/female relationship should be a symbiotic relationship and a man who doesn't feel threatened by his partner would be a real man according to me.

@SW-User The one answer I have is that they must do it to annoy me, because they certainly don't do it to please me. What other reason could there be?

Spine. Ownership. Work ethic. Principles. Direction.

@Bearserks I don't know, it's what I try to keep close at all times. In all situations.

@dunpender I guess that is supposed to be "Surely hates souls have". I don't see any connection between that and the other strange word I asked about.

@dunpender Whatever was predictive text thinking? I don't understand predictive text anyway and I don't know why it even exists. It's a useless and annoying feature at the best of times.
