Yes, i'm going to quote some people and throw down their thoughts. Mainly do to what happened this morning and people claiming to be "More Gorean than me" ((when they don't understand their own placements in this world.))
"Let's face it , Gor doesn't exactly lend to the practice of humility , especially in free men. When you walk into a world where the golden rule is "your a free male and you can do what you want" often gets very misinterpreted by some. Just because you are a free male doesnt make you your own mini-god. From what i understand of gorean society from the books was that the average gorean was proud but not to the point of being so foolish as to think that his was the only sword that would win the day. If anything the average guy was just trying to eke out some sort of living. They wern't stoic , they actually knew how to laugh and not just only with other Free Males, they could engage in light conversation with others of different classes, Free Women and even slaves.

Gorean men can't go piss around. Sure they can do anything they wish, but they have a code to follow, i mean, if you a man and your excuse for doing something bat shit sutpid is "i'm a man i can." sure you can beucase you are a man, but you must be man enough to face those consequences that follow after your actions/words. you should also be able to face the ridicule for doing something stupid "just beucase" my Jarl never does anythign without reason....i think that's how MOST opperate..really.
i mean really. people need to grow a pair. i'm starting to think that some girls i know, slave girls, have bigger balls then some of these "men"
now yes it is odd for me to say "men" and have ME, a slave, judge what a "man" is. want to know what i belive a Gorean man is? many blog sites and such have this written in their own words but this one was the first one i came across that i needed for so yeah.

Dominance... of himself and of those who depend on his command
Consistency... in his dealings with freepersons and slaves
Strength... to not be swayed from his principles
Self-assured... not dependent on others for approval
Curiosity... to delve into the individual
Wisdom... to understand what curiosity has discovered
Maturity... to understand, but not misuse, the power of his Mastery
Sensitivity... to have interest in, and to listen keenly for the concerns and issues of others and his slave
Compassion... to hear the true feelings of his slaves, and to deal fairly with issues raised, within the confines of his principles and command
Accountability... to accept the responsibility for the behavior of his slave and himself; to accept responsibility for the safety and security of his slave; and to deal honorably with any issues that arise for either concern
Courage... both to stand up for his principles and honor and the courage to admit a mistake when he recognizes one has been made
Advocate... for the endurance and prosperity of Gorean culture
Ally... standing shoulder to shoulder with other advocates of Gor
Mentor... to others who have need of his example
now, of course, who am i to say and judge who is a Gorean Master and who is just a "master" i mean really. but keep in mind, i'm a slave, i see these things 24/7 365 days a year. so yeah. what do i know *shakes my head*
