They have always been the same values throughout time.

1. Try not to be a dick

2. Enjoy life and not take it to seriously

3. Make a few people laugh

There you go, you found them, the secrets to life man or woman. I'll be expecting my check in the morning.

For both, same as it ever was: anything that just means being a decent human being. Being a "mensch" -- a person of integrity and honor. But it's also different for every person.

Being responsible for your own survival — for both men and women.

I see as many choices and options in behaviors as there are humans. And even then, it's all fluid.

The core of the human experience is essentially a tension between our animal nature and our human nature playing out at a glacial pace. This tension's relationship to environmental circumstances is beautifully showcased in the Lina Wertmüller film, "Swept Away".

When conditions are primitive (those days), male/female roles are distinct: men are domineering, protector/providers, and women are submissive, child-rearer/care-givers. In high functioning modern societies with stable economies (these days), women are whatever they want to be and men are idiots. (YMMV)

OK, I wrote all this before I read your replies below. Looks like you were not asking about the difference between man and woman but the difference between child and adult? I don't know. I'll get back with you if I ever grow up.

A good man keeps "mama" happy. A good man can cry for others as well as himself. A good man is kind to animals & children. Men can now cry in public. Senator Muskie would approve. Women can now develop muscles & pursue a career in boxing. Men can now wear pink. Men & women can now wear tattoos without appearing as miscreants. Men can have long hair. Women can shave their heads. Women can be approved for credit without a man's signature. Men can be awarded custody of the children. Men can marry another man. Women can marry another woman. Men can now be homemakers as women can now be mechanics.

We each have a role to play in this life and that role changes based on circumstance and environment. There are characteristics and truths that are universal regardless of sex. So in my mind I'm wondering if you are asking about character (honesty, respect, etc.) or if your question is related to a role (i.e. mother and father).

There is more than one way to be either, and about time!

Attitude and behavior at one time was a function of reproducing

everyone has loads of vertuel friends and know real ones. there is a complete lack of body language and everyone is outspoken vertuelly.

I think in many cases but unfortunately not all, we are better informed and more conscious of not falling into stereotype gender roles. I know growing up, my mother did not work but did everything at home, cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping etc while my dad just "worked".
Now I think there is a lot more sharing. Firstly many more women work and secondly men are more self-sufficient. For instance, I can clean, cook, iron etc. while at the same time, I can do construction, fix a car, weld etc. while my dad cannot really fend for himself at home but his is a great mechanic and DIY guy. so I think that has changed.

Nothing has changed. Just thanks to the internet we see things unfold faster.

Lots has changed, much hasn't unfortunately..were to start is the problem..

True self-actualization is possible for women now. It does not seem to have been so in my mother's generation and before.

I think a real man... is strong in character, has an appreciation for different skills, cultures, is not bigoted, doesn’t assume roles in a relationship. He’s open to discussion, resolution without bias. He has a soul, cares for the planet, the environment - and practices conservation. He cares and respects his fellow man (“man” means all people, all cultures, all identities.)
