Who we are
We are an organization dedicated to defining what a man is. To do this, we are conducting a study with input from men and women of every color, creed, religion and sexual orientation from across the United States. We hope to develop a collective view of how current American society defines manhood and what society expects of today’s man.

Since the beginning of time, society has formed ideas and beliefs that define manhood. However, there are no indicative traits, skills, attributes or other identifiers that establish what exactly defines a man.

We created WhatIsAMan.org to start a conversation about manhood and how to define it today. We want to understand if some standards still ring true or if they have been replaced with new beliefs. We want to hear from you and hope that you are willing to lend your voice to help shape the conversation.

Let’s work together to find the answers to this challenge. Please help us by participating in a brief survey simply based upon your own personal beliefs.
