so i was thinking.... are there any real world archetypes for the mature man out there in the media.
i emphasize REAL WORLD, because much of what we see in hollywood would have 0% chance of existing in the real world.
we hold up guys like scarface as the representation of the alpha male, but in the real world most guys who tried to imitate that would end up in jail.
i was thinking John Locke from the tv show Lost is a really good example. when they started the show he was kind of an AFC male. negative thinking, bad luck in life, etc.
but as the show has gone on, he's become the type of male that i think is actually a really good role model. he's assertive, he rolls with the blows, he looks people in the eye with confidence, he follows his own path etc.
anyway, any other REALISTIC mature male media archetypes out there that you guys think are well rounded examples of how a man should be?
