1. He has integrity and character: simply put, a
good guy is less talk and more action. The
Latin origin of “integrity” means whole, and
when it comes to being a good guy,
wholesome is sexy. Everywhere he goes, he
leaves a mark.
2. He’s balanced: family and friends always
comes first. He prioritizes his time and is
well-rounded in many areas. He’s a modern
Renaissance man.
3. He’s confident: this doesn’t mean cocky at
all. He has a good self-image about himself
and believes he deserves the best.
4. He’s courageous: he goes after what he
wants even in the presence of self-doubt.
He’s not afraid to approach women and spark
conversation.
5. He listens: the good guy doesn’t care about
the sound of his voice. He doesn’t interrupt
and he follows the rule that 75% of the time
should be listening vs. talking.
6. He takes initiative: the good guy is a leader,
and takes the first step in a group setting and
in a relationship.
7. He’s detail-oriented: as tough as it is for a
man, the good guy tries to stay on top of it
and is organized. When it comes to pursuing

he focuses on the kind of man he wants to be,
and creates a positive internal self-dialogue.
A good guy is empathetic and forgiving.

most men are raised to believe they need to
fight and conquer. A good guy understands to
overcome one’s own self is better than
competing and beating anyone else.
10. He’s committed and faithful: he says what he
means, and means what he says. He follows
through with his word even with people who
don’t follow through with theirs. He’s loyal in
relationship.
11. He fights against injustice: when a good guy
sees another guy act out of line with a
female, he thinks it could be his own sister,
mother or daughter, and steps in to fight the
injustice, even if it’s his own friend that’s
causing the problem.
12. He’s honest: the truth can hurt, but it’s also
the beginning of the healing process. A good
guy understands honesty might be tough up
front, but the impact is far less than the
outcome of long running white lies.
13. He’s good with his money: he makes
decisions to plan for the future, and makes a
budget for himself.
14. He has good humor: he doesn’t take himself
too seriously, and is happy to be the pun of
everyone’s joke.
15. He’s humble: he lets others sing his praises
instead of himself.
16. He’s a team player: he understands the
team’s success is his success, and cares
more about the team winning than his own
ego.
17. He’s adaptable: things don’t always go his
way, but he picks himself up and tries again.
Throw him in any scene, and he’s
comfortable.
18. He has good manners: his actions are made
with care and consideration.
19. He’s always learning: the good guy loves life,
and seeks to make the most out of it. He
reads at least one book a month.
20. He’s shaped by men he respects: he finds
mentors, men he wants to be like, and
regularly meets with them.
21. He has true and close friendships: he keeps
a tight brotherhood around him and
understands “iron sharpens iron as man
sharpens man.”
22. He has a desire to advance culture: when he
leaves the world, it will be a better place.
23. He has temperance (moderate in action,
thought, feeling and yup alcohol): he’s not the
wild and out of control guy at the party. The
good guy is the one who carries him home on
his shoulders. He thinks before he acts, and
doesn’t let him emotions get the best of him.
24. He supports and promotes moral excellence:
he knows what’s right and wrong. The good
guy is the one who helps an elderly lady
carry her groceries to her car.

in private, but he’s never a doormat. The
confidence in himself is unwavering in tough
times.

his body is a temple, and works to improve
his health and his image.

and others in the future.

thankful for everything he receives.

the traditions of his ancestors.

in prayer, and stops and listens for his next
steps.

Glory be to God!
