I recently had an opportunity to speak at the Iron Sharpens Iron Men’s Conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and my topic was on “Man’s Greatest Challenge.” I told a group of about 500 men that man’s greatest challenge is deciding every day the type of man he’s going to be.

Man’s greatest challenge is deciding every day the type of man he’s going to be.Without exception, I believe every man has five options. I know, because unfortunately, I’ve been all five types. And each type of man has an impact on the type of husband, father, and leader he will be. So what are those five types of men, and which one are you?

1. The Whiner:

This is the man who gets up most mornings and chooses to be paralyzed by his past. He finds it difficult to move forward in life because he’s constantly looking backward. He chooses to blame his present struggles on his past problems. The result is that he becomes what I call a “Why Baby.” He asks questions like:

Why did that happen to me?

Why didn’t that happen for me?

Why him (or them) and why not me?

2. The Worrier:

This is the man who is not paralyzed by his past, but he’s fearful of the future because he’s constantly looking ahead. He’s afraid to move forward. But unlike the Whiner, the Worrier doesn’t ask “Why?” because he’s too busy asking himself, “What if?”

What if this happens?

What if that happens?

What if this doesn’t happen?

3. The Waiter:

This is the man who is indecisive in the present. He isn’t satisfied where he is, and he wants things to change but he’s not willing to make any changes. He’s waiting for a miracle or act of God to change his circumstances or situation. He expects to be rescued and reap the rewards with little or no effort on his part. For instance, he wants his marriage to improve, but he’s not willing to go to counseling. He wants to stop watching pornography, but he won’t join a support group. He wants a better relationship with his children, but he won’t spend more time with them.

4. The Wounded:

This is the man who lives in isolation, solitude, and suffers in silence. He’s still hurting from his past, he feels helpless in the moment, and he feels hopeless about his future. He’s stuck in shame and guilt, and it’s difficult for him to talk about it because he finds it very difficult to trust anyone. He’s either too angry, too afraid, or too ashamed to move forward so he doubts himself, others, and even God.

5. The Warrior:

This is the man who doesn’t whine about his past, he doesn’t worry about the future, he’s not waiting to be rescued from his present situation, and he’s not afraid of being wounded again because he’s more concerned about leaving a legacy. He’s willing to fight for his marriage, his family, his children, and his brothers. He’s concerned more about his character than his circumstances, his destiny than the detours in his life, and his legacy more than his losses. He’s a fighter and he’d rather die with a spear in his chest than one in his back. His motto is no retreat, no surrender.

What kind of men are more likely to cheat?

Between 40 percent and 76 percent of people cheat on their partners over the course of their relationship. Men with performance anxiety and who like to take risks are most likely to cheat, a study finds.

Between 40 percent and 76 percent of people cheat on their partners over the course of their relationship. Men with performance anxiety and who like to take risks are most likely to cheat, a study finds.

Women, though, tend to cheat if they are dissatisfied with the relationship.

The standard of a man’s relationship does not have much effect on whether he cheats. Instead, it is a man’s personality that is especially important in whether or not he cheats. The study supports the stereotype that men who are cheaters will continue to cheat, whatever kind of relationship they are in.

Risk-takers tend to be impulsive and can have problems controlling themselves.

Gambling, drug-taking and aggressive behaviour can all be signs of someone who is a risk-taker. Cheating is one more way for this type of man to find excitement. The pattern is different among women, where unhappiness in their current relationship predicts cheating. In fact, women who are dissatisfied with their relationship were twice as likely to cheat on their partner than those who were satisfied. The study included almost one thousand men and women in (supposedly) monogamous relationships. The results showed that 23% of men and 19% of women admitted being unfaithful at some point.

Men’s infidelity was predicted by personality factors like risk-taking.

Professor Milhausen, who led the study, said:

“All kinds of things predict infidelity. What this study says is that when you put all of those things together, for men, personality characteristics are so strong they bounce everything else out of the model. For women, in the face of all other variables, it’s still the relationship that is the most important predictor.” The study was published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior (Mark, et al., 2011).
