Definition of a man: What a man is not

Point #5: The "X Factor"
A man would not bring up the "X Factor" inappropriately. A man would understand the danger of the "X Factor" and the appropriate time to discuss the graveyard of relationships past. A man would comprehend the need of a woman to listen, be helpful, and understanding; and that it's ok to discuss these things with one another, but in bed, during intimate moments and on dates, would not be the time to bring them up.
I am sure I could go on and on with pet-peeves of mine like not returning phone calls, not following through on what you say you're going to do, not making plans, and constantly changing your mind on what you want. But these traits can be contributed to bad manners, and may be more a sign of bad breeding rather than not being a man. Therefore, we will stick to these 5 points; they seem to be more universally and easily applied.

Disclaimer: This definition is a work in progress, much like the development of a man, and has changed and morphed since its original conception, I hope it continues to do so. Since the first declaration of manhood, I have met a couple of Peter Pan's whom are making a serious attempt at manhood, and I think they should be recognized and commended. So my caustic nature has been diminished, if only ever so slightly, and I now have a glimmer of hope at the possibility of someday finding a man. If anyone desires to prove me wrong, I am currently accepting applications, now hiring, one man.
