Real Man of the Titanic - Forum For Men

A True Man

It seems that the general image of "A real man", since the time Cain floored Abel, is the one who is easy to spot - he is the last one standing.

April 15th (1912) was the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and I thought today's message was most appropriate as an example of the image of A Real Man

"I am willing to remain and play the man’s game if there are not enough boats for more than the women and children…. Tell my wife I played the game straight out and to the end. No woman shall be left aboard this ship because Ben Guggenheim is not a coward." - Final words of Benjamin Guggenheim, millionaire traveler aboard the ill-fated Titanic. As the boat began to sink, Guggenheim changed into formal dress and calmly faced death.

Order of Men would like to Salute Ben Guggenheim as a True Hero and Man. May his soul forever rest in peace.

That is a true man right there. I only hope that I could do the same if faced with that situation.

Me too. That is the type of person that I am, but it is a difficult situation to fathom.

Amen to that my good man! The stupid Leo DiCaprio movie aside, it was well documented that most of the men aboard weren't panicking like schoolchildren but ensuring that the women and children got off safely.

Times have certainly changed since that era. Now a days, people would fight each other and create havock.
