1. Josiah Bartlett and Jean-Luc Picard spring to mind.

   We haven’t had many good fictional role models since the ’90s.

2. Ford Prefect – always bring a towel

3. Arnold from hey Arnold. Everyone should be like him

4. R.P. McMurphy

5. Mario. He saves princess from turtle and doesn’t afraid of anything.

6. Patrick Bateman

7. Mr. Incredible from Incredibles 1

8. Role model for younger men? How about their fathers? Why would an adult use a fictional charge as a role model?

10. Swan – The Warriors

11. Captain America or batman.

12. Chucky.

13. Capt. John Yossarian from Catch-22

14. Darth Sidious

15. Al Bundy.

16. Gandalf, Aragorn, Bilbo, Frodo and Sam.

17. Were it not for the rape scene I would’ve said Howard Roark.

    Ayn Rand had a thing for that;

18. Sounds kinda cheesy but for me, it’s always been Spider-Man. Just always trying to do the right thing, no matter what the situation is or how hard it will be. Basically the complete opposite of the male “role models” I grew up with

19. The joker

20. Bundy

21. John Rambo

22. Hank Hill, yeah he’s a bit closed off but he’ll always try to do the right thing, helps his friends, loves his family despite how they behave, and he’s not afraid to call people out on their shit.

    The kind of man I wish I could have a beer with.

23. Gandalf or Professor Albus Dumbledore

24. Captain America

25. Aragorn-tons of self doubt but still a king if you just do the work.

26. Optimus Prime

    Just not Shattered-Glass Optimus Prime. Fuck that guy

27. Harvey Specter
