He Will Always Be "The Man" To Me

14- Describe the man who had the greatest influence on how you regard men or the woman who had the greatest influence on how you regard women. What personal attributes attracted you to that person? Have you met anyone or had any experiences that have led you to question your original beliefs about men and women?

There is no doubt that one of the most influential men I have had in my life is my older brother Julio. Julio and I are six years apart and growing up together was a struggle. It was always a struggle because we were always at different stages in our life like for example he was going through puberty when I was still in my childhood and now he is an adult while I still am a teenager. Even though we have a big gap in our ages now that we are older we get along much better than when we were younger. I see my brother as a true man. He is what I look for in my boyfriends and future husbands. My mom always taught my brother what respect and hard work meant. My brother appreciates my mother for all she has done for us and sees the value in work. He is a man who values women and never would vulgar terms to refer to a woman. Julio is the kind a man who is very sociable, not afraid to try new things, and always optimistic about life. The qualities my brother has are things that I look for a man because they show me what a good father and husband really look like. These qualities are still what I look for in a man but are not limited to these I am open minded to other qualities too.
