To answer the very old thread (might as well, if it's up), here are my categories of men.
A man - Loves God and pursues Him with all His strength; kind and polite to others, especially his mother and sisters; protects. Not just in a physical sense, but a spiritual and emotional sense as well; provides. Again, not just financially, but emotional support as well; unselfish; committed; respectful
Not a man (boy) - Irresponsible; complacent in pursuing God; rude and uncaring; brushes off others and pursues self; vulgar; prideful
And to be fair...
A woman - Kind; gentle; looks out for others; loves God and pursues Him with all her heart; protects; cherishes those around her; respectful; keeps her body and mind pure in dress and thought; quiet but strong spirit
Not a woman (girl) - Holds wordly things above godly things; cares about appearance too much, or tries to alter it too much (vain); disregards God; is a tease; gossips
None of these are exclusive to one gender or another. Men are to also keep their body/mind pure in dress and thought, and women are to also be responsible. But, you get the point.
