The Better Man Project is a personal life project I started at the beginning of last year in an effort to write down the things I was learning on a day to day basis. My vision is that “The world needs better men. This blog is simply about my journey to become a better man and the things I run into along the way.” Thank you guys for reading. I appreciate it a ton. If you want to see a video I made for this project, here you go
And If you really want to get to know me…here I am
I am an avid fisherman, a lover of all sports, aspiring to be the next American novelist, a rock climber, a social media nerd, an inventor, obsessed with personal development, a reader of all genres, a collector of baseball cards, a developing bodybuilder, an expert organizer, an entrepreneur, a brand builder, a long-boarder, a slight Romantic, sometimes an insufferable insomniac, a photographer, an almost drowning surfer, an ambidextrous bowler, a killer snowboarder, a social Darwinist, an on-call rapper, an explorer, a mildly successful car rebuilder, a reincarnated Robin Hood, a certified IKEA furniture maker, an amateur long-range rifle marksman, obsessed with Pawn Stars, an iron-fisted negotiator, a creative thinker, a hard worker, a roofer, a salesman, a Lego architect, a self-proclaimed painter, a creative landscaper, a Renaissance man, and a deep philosophical thinker. I am best at inspiring others to act and have taken that passion and transformed it into a successful blogging career. My blog is called The Better Man Project and is focused around my journey towards becoming a better man and the lessons I learn along the way. Check it out at thebettermanprojects.wordpress.com. (Like I said, salesman.)
I have genetic entrepreneurial blood in my body and have followed my father’s footsteps in creating unique startup companies. I enjoy a good glass of scotch. I do not necessarily know where I am going, but I know who I am going to be when I get there. I am a man of unconditional love, fiery passion, and possess a never-quitting attitude. I never demand anything out of anyone that I do not demand of myself (honesty, loyalty, respect), and I strive every day to become a better person. I can grow a full beard and climb trees with ease…as long as the rope doesn’t break. I want to make a difference in this world and have people remember me as someone who went out with all engines burning. I will never own a mini-van…ever. I will have a baseball team full of children…and do not think that will effect my decision on the mini-van statement. I will have a white wrap-around porch. I can reel in a 200-lb halibut in 30 minutes. Spiders scare the hell out of me, and bell peppers make me gag. I have successfully cooked Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for 12 by myself. I can bake an assortment of pies and can make little children laugh. I have successfully rebuilt pitchers mounds, to only then wreck them by pitching off of them. I successfully speared a fly to the door by throwing a Phillips screwdriver from 10 ft. away. I am a quote junkie and will randomly recite movie lines or motivational speeches to people who care or care less about what I am currently saying.
I am a slight pyromaniac… and have a record of close calls. I collect vinyls, and wish I had a record player. I often come up with nicknames for those close to me, and they usually resemble animals. If I had to be two movie stars, it would either be Clint Eastwood or Morgan Freeman. If they had to be under 50, Brad Pitt or Denzel Washington. I can iron my own shirts, do my own laundry, vacuum and clean floors with unparalled precision. My music playlists demand respect. I speak Japanese. I successfully discouraged packs of men from hitting on my sister in Europe…just by the sternness of my jaw. I have sold women’s yoga clothes, am part of the 500 club, and have broken many stereotypes about white men not being able to jump. I will be real with you no matter what, however I do have a tendency for witty remarks. I have been asked if I have bad days. I drink Guinness and whiskey, can pull off dance moves after stretching, and have been called a modern Churchill.
I am, 100%, me.

I hope you’ll accept…
http://rockyourinnerhippie.wordpress.com/2013/06/17/very-inspiring-blogger-award/
I believe in the power of your words and I’m so happy to be able to nominate you for this award
Keep blogging, because your words rock…
Greetings Evan! I’ve just nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I hope you’ll accept it :
http://themotherroot.com/2013/06/08/i-got-the-very…-blogger-award/
Your blog is powerful, honest, refreshing and elevates the human condition, also it makes me smile because Lord knows that this world needs MORE better men! It takes real courage for a man to step up and actually admit that he is working on becoming better – if there were more of this in the world there would be fewer single ladies! I sincerely applaud you and wish it was legal to clone some of your “betterment” gene into the male species! Thank you for making the blogosphere a more beautiful place. I look forward to reading more of your posts and I wish you much success with your project and prosperity with your book!!
Thank you for dropping by and following Malcolm’s Corner.
“Renaissance man” sums you up very well…but “reincarnated robin hood” made me laugh, and won over all the other descriptors. Also, each of us has a little bit of a pyromaniac in us. But, if you’re curious, I’m writing a book, and in the prologue, a library is on fire. It might be of interest to the reading/scotch drinking/adventure having/ good hearted pyro in you. maybe.
haha! I am very interested! You have one of the best comments I have seen here in a long time. Please tell me what it is all about! Or shoot me an email at thebettermanprojects@gmail.com
Thank you for liking my Granny Tales page. It is aimed slightly at children or the child in all of us. More grown-up stuff can be found at mindsinger.com and http://aechoesfromtheheartland.wordpress.com/
Haha! I have a feelIng that I’m going to like you!
Haha good! Im excited to see what you have to say
Rub elbows with me on the FB page http://on.fb.me/RC57QW
Thanks for following my blog. We are in 100% agreement that the world needs better men. Eff the world though, I’d settle for just better American men. What ever happened to Mark Twain? That there are at least of couple of us out there is enough to sustain me for the foreseeable future. Thanks for making the effort.
Haha interesting point of view – never settle though, cant just be one culture of people. Have to be the whole shebang! Dream big
Rub elbows with me on the FB page http://on.fb.me/RC57QW
Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog and for the follow. I love your blog. Can’t wait to read more!
of course! And awesome I can’t wait to see what you have to say!
Rub elbows with me on the FB page http://on.fb.me/RC57QW
Love this! It’s refreshing to see a man blogging with this kind of message. Awesome. Thanks for following my blog.
It’s refreshing to get great compliments like that! And you are very welcome
Rub elbows with me on the FB page http://on.fb.me/RC57QW
Thank you for choosing to follow one of my blogs. I hope you continue to enjoy the posts.
Thanks for the follow and boy is yours interesting. A better man? I think one who wants to be better is already mostly there.
haha thank you for the complement – I don’t know about mostly there though haha – action > intention > words right? But I am going for it and love the support!
Rub elbows with me on the FB page http://on.fb.me/RC57QW
Thanks for following my blog! I’m just getting started, but I’m really inspired by what you’ve created. Here goes my journey to be a better man!
I appreciate what you’re going for, and admire the fact that you’ve created this project of sorts. Best of luck to you. Speaking from experience, the world needs more good men.
Your self-description amounts to an infinitely more intriquing version of a Rorschach test — which elements will each of us react to, and what will we read into it? Me, I’m for the roofer, self-proclaimed painter and Scotch drinker (single malt I hope & do you drink it neat?). Oh, and… thank you for choosing to follow my blog
Hi there. Just wanted to say thanks for the follow. And I think the world needs better men, kudos to you and the message you are living out. It’s a great project. Good luck with it. I’ll be sure to keep up with your progress!

Greeting from Indonesia
i’m not real sure what brought you to my lil piece of the wordpress world, but i certainly feel honored. thank you for the follow! wordpress has certainly opened up the world to me in some ways. i’m so happy to hear that there are others out there who are just as interested in bettering themselves, not necessarily for themselves but for others. i was beginning to worry i was the only one seeing certain things happening that shouldn’t and somethings not happening that should be. i’ve been reassured, via wordpress, i’m not alone in all that; thank God. have a great day

Thanks for following my blog — your project/blog is *great* and I’m forwarding it to my sons (12 & 15, almost baby adult men). I look forward to reading more of your journey.
Thanks for dropping in/following my blog. After checking out your CV (a Renaissance Man if ever there was one!), two questions arise: 1) what drew you to read/follow A Foot in Two Canoes? 2) If a Scaramouch ever reads your blog, has he any hope?
Just wanted to let you know that I nominated you for The Very Inspiring Blogger Award http://best3ofeverything.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/best-three-of-everything-nomiated-for-the-very-inspiring-blogger-award/

I know you have a ton of followers, and I was following you, until I “Xd” out of several blogs on my edit page, unintentionally. If you noticed, sorry. But I re followed. Thanks.
My brother suggested I might like this web site.
He used to be totally right. This submit actually made my day.
You cann’t imagine just how so much time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
Evan Sanders, you are a very busy man. Please give me some cooking pointers; I’m out of practice!
Hey man. Obviously I have been following you for a while and read the book. I went back to check on the comments, but I could not find it. Having problems with Amazon?

Evan,
Thanks for the blog follow! And I also must say, if I wasn’t already married, you sound like a great guy already. Looking forward to reading about your journey. Best, A.
Hi Evan, Thanks for being a follower to my blogs. I read some things about you and found myself laughing… When you say, ‘Spiders scare the hell out of me, and bell peppers make me gag…’ The first rings so true with me and the later part describes my husband’s distaste for bell peppers! You also had me looking up the word: pyromaniac. Great post. I shall return. Best to you!!!
I love this. Follow my blog to please:)
Hey Evan, I’m completely captivated!
Your energy ignites a fire within me and I LOVE reading your posts!!
Best of luck on the bucket list. It’s incredible! I couldn’t help but have one suggestion for you to add to it though… CROSSFIT! Just putting it out there! It’s become my newest addiction and you strike me as a guy who would be a fierce CrossFitter!
Best,
Melissa
Very cool stuff!
Thank you for reading my blog and please keep coming back for more
A great blog! Thanks for coming by and for the follow!
Thank you for sharing, i love this.
Whoa you have so many comments I hope mine won’t get lost in them! Haha. Thank you so much for liking my post “Morning Lessons from Sophie”. I love your energy in the video, do not ever stop!

As one of my beloved followers, I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude by sharing with you my exciting news of becoming a newly published author! And, of course, I wanted you to be among the very first to get a chance to read the rest of my debut novel, The Legacy of Blood, now available in e-book format.
(No worries if you don’t have a Kindle or other e-reader device, they have free ones to download on your computer. I went on Amazon and downloaded their “Kindle for PC” absolutely free! Love it! Here’s the link if you need it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/kindle/pc/download .)
Again, I want to thank you kindly for all the support. And you never know, as some of my followers have told me, you could say you’ve had a big hand in helping make Shelby Westland a household name!
The Legacy of Blood on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Blood-Sanguivore-Saga-ebook/dp/B00C5J7V2E/
Other e-reader retailers to follow soon!
Cheers!

This is perhaps the best About Me page i’ve ever read. i feel like i practically know you! This is inspiring. Plus, i can’t help but relay that my eyes grew wide as i read on, because honestly i don’t think i’ve heard of someone who does as much as you do all at once. Thanks for following my blog! Hope to share the inspiration!
You’re so inspirational! It’s so cool how you randomly just started writing the book. Good luck to you!!
This is a breath of fresh air INDEED!!! I am looking forward to more reading from this lovely little place. I also look forward to reblogging and sharing amongst my male friends:) Thanks so much for following ladyinthehouse.net. I am humbled by you!!
Thanks for visiting Mused by Magdalene- I’m glad to have found your site and wish you good speed on your journey of self-discovery – its the best trip anyone can take. Namaste
Hello Evan, I’ve nominated you for the Best Moment Award. Get info about the rules at :http://happyheuristics.wordpress.com/2013/04/04/best-moment-award/
Best,
Happy Heuristics
Very interesting premise:) Going to spend some time looking around your site
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog, very much appreciate it and love your motivation!
Yay! Awesome… love it all. Interesting connection here: growing up I was a competitive gymnast until I was 15…the day before a state competition I severely sprained my ankle practicing a floor routine. That was the turning moment in my life when I chose to follow my passion to write and create music. I could never be more grateful. I am who I am today because of it…
Here I am… loving the dream
(and thank-you for following my blog)
Thanks for following my blog!
Kudos to you for wanting to better yourself, I honestly think more people need to do that. I am now following you too because I love your idea and it really peeked my interest
Thanks for the follow! I had a read through your bucket list, which made me laugh, and watched you video, and am now thinking I’ll have to pick up a copy of your book when I’ve got some spare money.
Nice to meet you
Lacey
Thanks for the follow ! Love what you are doing and looking forward to staying tuned.
Great video! I like the Rocky happy ending. You have talent!
Hello Evan, thanks for the follow. You’re one funny guy
Wow, I thought your bio was fascinating, then began reading the responses! Pretty cool! Thanks for rummaging around my blog. I hope that perhaps something in it fascinated or inspired you. Perhaps just gave you a smile! You don’t list cycling as something you may or can do… maybe I can entice you to try road cycling for a season.
Thanks for the follow. Love what I’ve seen of your blog/project so far and can’t wait to explore it further!
Hey thanks for the follow. I enjoyed your about, plan to enjoy many other of your entries. I don’t have a baseball team of kids but I have a basketball team if you count the parents. and all hail the avoidance of the minivan philosophy.
thank you for the follow and wow. I’ll be back and read your blog from back to front or front to back whichever comes first. Your ‘about’ is a novel on its own. Thank you again and I look forward to read all of your words.
Evan – hi – thanks for the follow and for bringing your blog to my attention – Awesome, by the way
Will be checking in to see more!
Thanks for following! I’m just starting out, and it was really encouraging to see a person already looking at my writing. Your project is an inspiration, and I think more people need to follow in your footsteps. Best of luck!
-Anna
Hey Evan! Spent the last few minutes checking out your blog- so inspiring and such a cool story! THanks so much for the follow- you have a new follower as well. Good luck with all your endeavors, I will be rooting for you!
Thanks for the follow – I will be back, especially when I need encouragement
Hey buddy, I love the blog. I truly believe that the key to happiness is to be a better a person and that is the same thing I try and instill in all my clients. I will be sure to keep a close eye on your posts.
Mark
After reading all of your About, and smiling like a loony, I sincerely want to tell you that I think you’re great. You have the same mentality that I do: positive, bizarre, funny, active and hell-I’ll-give-that-a-shot!! I loved hearing of all the things you’ve done! Absolutely brain-bustingly brilliant!
Don’t you ever, EVER lose that spark!
Deanna, Little Blonde Lionheart
You sound like the dream, we need more men like you.
Hey, Evan! Thanks for following my blog. I’m looking forward to reading yours and learning from you.
Hello Evan,
Thank you for following my blog! Your follow has led me back to yours and I love it! Thank you for that! Also I’m super happy to meet a fellow future American novelist, personal development junkie, organizational super star, entrepreneurial genius, a slight Romantic, an occasional insomniac, a certified IKEA furniture maker,a creative prodigy, a hard worker, a self-proclaimed painter and a philosophical mastermind. Just to list a few of our commonalities. Lol, have a wonderful day!
Hi Evan. Thanks for visiting and following my blog. I think everyone in the world needs to work on trying to make themselves better rather than just focusing on what they perceive to be wrong with other people. And writing is definitely a powerful tool in this pursuit. All the best in your continuing journey.
Hi, Evan! Thank you for following my blog. It looks like you’ve had an incredible journey here, I hope it keeps being incredible!
Hey Evan, thanks a lot for the follow! Not so much because I want you to listen to my stuff…I’m grateful because you following me led me to your blog
I like it very much, so keep going!
Thanks for following our podcast blog. We appreciate what you have to offer to the world.
Hi Evan,
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog! I see that our blogs are very similar in the fact that I want to see the young professionals of our generation reach out and actually change the world! There are a variety of ways to do this, but the most important is to harness who we were created to be and rest on the power that made us!
Thank you for inspiring men to become better…we need that every day…for ourselves and for others!
Best,
Ken Pearson
Hello, Evan. Thanks for following my blog! I really admire your ambition and aspiration to be a better man and help others do the same.

http://sarcstk1inct.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=342&act
I realize this may be way past your level of blogging, but I find your blog interesting enough to qualify you in my eyes…
Thank you for following my blog! Um…wow, you’re amazing! Um..er…stutter…
Thanks for following my blog. I love the idea of The Better Man Project. I have good days and bad like everyone else, but I like to think that I try to better myself whenever I can. Good luck with your project (that sounds weird because that’s basically like saying good luck with your life)! I think what you’re doing is pretty cool.
thanks for following my blog – this is quite a list of things you are – are you sure you need to improve? Just kidding – we all need improvement.
Evan, I’ve been following your journey on close to a year now and your posts always inspire me and I think it’s an incredible project you took on. We definitely need more men like you!
I have nominated you for a Gargie Award, you can check it out here: http://walking4air.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/and-the-gargie-award-goes-to/
At this time I am going away to do my breakfast, after having my breakfast coming
yet again to read more news.
Hey there! You just started following my blog, so I wanted to check out your blog and say, “Hi.” Your project sounds great. The only thing is that I just read your “About Me” and you sound awesome already. Anyway, I’ll poke around more on your blog as I’d love to learn how to be a better woman.
Life works in mysterious ways . (some may call it God, or Allah, or any other name). I started on this exact same quest you are on a few years ago…and for long I wished it happened before.But everything always happens in due time and exactly as it should, right? I couldn’t even pin point the exact moment, but it’s irrelevant. I believe that the reality of it is all that matters. The fact that “that moment” happened. That moment…., “the epiphany” that, through an intricate and extraordinary chain of events, led to THIS…this MOMENT right here, right now. I embrace it with all my heart and soul, and I know you do too. Life …is beautiful !
What you are doing is absolutely remarkable!!!
Keep loving passionately and never quitting!
All the very best to you. What an inspiring project!
Thanks for liking my post and following my blog
I have great respect for your personal quest and for making it public, inviting others to be better as well. I see mention of making children laugh, and I hope you sense the profound effect good men have on children, especially the fatherless.
I have a friend who’s little boy’s father is of the ‘deadbeat dad’ genre, and it pains me to see him grow up with this handicap. I wish a better man like you were a mentor in his life, so I hope he gets some good guys to invest in him, and encourage you to wear the mentor mantle with great honor and a sense of incredible privilege.
Blessings …
Hi Evan,
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the follow! Your blog and video really strike a chord! So, how is it going — have you indeed become a better man?
Best of luck wherever your project takes you!
Hi there. I love your work and just wanted to let you know, I’ve nominated your blog for The Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Your posts really resonate with me, as I’m sure they do with a lot of people, so keep ‘em coming! I hope you’ll join in on the fun (: You can find the information here; http://wp.me/p34Y8r-3c
Nice one and thanks for visiting
Thanks for the follow. Enjoying your site so far and looking forward to reading more! I am fortunate to have one of those few and far between better men. He wrote a song a few years ago (or started one…) about everyone wanting a good man and how they are hard to find. So true. Hopefully your blog will start a revolution! I get so weary sometimes of all the great helpful stuff for women and the very few things for men, and the fewer men that would even bother to read them.
Greetings Evan,
Terrific job on explaining who you are even though you may not know exactly where you are going. Such is the plight of most thoughtful people. You are correct in that this world does need better men, and I’m glad you’re one of them. I try to be. As a side note, I find it fascinating that your message resonates with so many women…apparently they agree with your message. Keep inspiring and challenging!
Michael
Thank you for following my blog, your blog philosophy is very inspirational, you hear of lots women attempting self improvement but not so much of men, so power to you! As a finance to a believe the best man in the world it’s so nice to see a man strive for good too
Men get a bad rep these days. I’m impressed with your project and i feel your pain. I was an olympic baseball player who had his dreams cut short in the states (I’m from the UK) due to reasons beyond my control.
Out of suffering we see light. Some choose to learn and follow that light. You are one of them. I believe I am too.
Good luck on your journey fellow man. Much love
thanks for following our blog! we really appreciate it. keep up your good work.
Well i can say i am very glad you popped by my blog, thanks for following me. Just what i need when i cant sleep something to keep me entertained and so far you blog is doing the trick.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
You’re project, I must say, is kinda awesome. We all want to be a better man (or woman) and I think it’s cool that you share your journey with us. It’s inspiring. Anywho, thanks again!
Thanks for following my blog. . .best of luck on becoming a better man, although “better” is such a subjective idea. . .judging by your “about” page, better may be a tough accomplishment. . .
I like your unique blog concept. How is the Bucket list for 2013 coming along? It is a great feeling being the best you can be and always working towards being even better!

Ha! What a great idea for a project- and congratulations on your forthcoming book! Thank you for introducing me to your blog- in a world that can be perceived as pretty negative, it’s very nice to support people in their creatively positive efforts at raising consciousness. Thank you!
Hi there! Your blog is wonderful and I would like to let you know that I am nominating you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award! You can find the info here: http://lindsayamber.wordpress.com/2013/02/10/very-inspiring-blogger-award/

Hi, I really enjoy your blog…I nominated your blog for the versatile blogging award
Good luck !
Thanks for following my blog! I am looking forward to excavating much delightful information from yours!
I Like your blog idea, thanks for following mine, I’ll do the same for yours. Love the mini-van comment, if you DO have a team full if children you’re going to need a FULL size van of course! lol
Nominated you for “Inspiring Blogger” … just click back to http://lipstickandchaos.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/inspiring-blogger-thank-you-said-in-earnest/ Thanks for the great reads!!!
This is very inspiring to read. There are so many similarities between what you say and have achieved and what I want to achieve- I feel like I’m at day one of something I could only dream to be as successful an idea and project as yours has been. I hope maybe one day all this inspiration can help me to follow my dreams of being a better person and leading a better life, just like you have.
Thanks for following me & my day to day life battling Gastroparesis!
Here’s to a GREAT 2013!
~Millie
Thanks for following me & my day to day life with Gastroparesis!
~Millie
No! This is just Purr-Fect!!
I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Thank you for your inspiration. Check out the guidelines here http://mrmattpieroni.com/2013/02/03/very-inspiring-blogger-award/ . Just ignore this if you don’t want to participate. No Worries.
Amazing blog! Really inspiring.
Thank you so much for following my blog by the way!
Wow you definitely have an insatiable zest for life – love it! Thank you for following my blog and get cracking on that bucket list!!
Thanks for following my blog. I appreciate it. Yours look interesting too, being a “Better Man”. Something that all should try to be. Unless they are a woman, in which case better woman would probably be better. Either way, will be interested to read about your journey. Sounds like your trip so far has been eventful, fruitful, and interesting.
It has been one wild wild ride! Thank you so much for the support. And please let me know what you think about the book!
Thank you for following my blog! The world does indeed need better men (I’ll also say women) – I guess it all depends on your perspective of “better”. I figure we could all improve ourselves on several levels (or several hundred levels in my case…I’m a work in progress!). Good Luck to you!
Haha I like the attitude and yes we do have so many levels to go! Hopefully this speaks to women just as much as men
Thanks for following my blog Evan, I really enjoy your blog as well, and continue the good work!
Hi Evan,
Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog. It’s wonderful to see your passion and it can be seen through each post that you make. I believe you are person of positive influence helping others to see the best that inside of them. Looking forward to reading more of your post
Good luck with your project, Evan! Thanks for following my blog.
Thanks for the ‘follow’ and a chance to see your awesome blog. Peace, Shanti.
Thanks for dropping by my blog and the follow. Yours is really inspiring and keep up the awesome work!
Hey Evan,
We have really been enjoying your excellent blog, so we wanted to let you know that we’ve nominated you for The Versatile Blogger Award. The VBA shines the spotlight on bloggers who are adept at creating and handling change – whether it’s their life or the lives of others. We think you’re very versatile!
Please see your award and details on our site. We think it’s a great opportunity to introduce your wonderful blog to more readers. They’re gonna love you!
I love this idea !,thank’s for the Like and I’ll check back in.
Love from Ireland,
Mark
I absolutely love the concept of your blog. Will be following you to see you cross off things on that bucket list!
This is an epic endeavor, sir. There are no worthier goals than striving to be better, making the most of the time you have, and helping those around you. Great work and congratulations on the book.
Your comment: “I collect vinyls, and wish I had a record player” made me laugh out loud. Believe it or not my parents still have a record player (that works) from when I grew up and I look at the montrous thing wondering how they had room for it with the big speakers.Thanks for stopping by!
I almost cried when I read, “The world needs better men. This blog is simply about my journey to become a better man and the things I run into along the way.” Thank you for recognizing something I’ve been thinking for years.
“I want to make a difference in this world and have people remember me as someone who went out with all engines burning. I will never own a mini-van…ever. I will have a baseball team full of children…and do not think that will effect my decision on the mini-van statement.”
Erma Bombeck once said, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.’”
And I’m with you on the children thing, except I usually say soccer team, lol. And minivans are undoubtedly from the devil! Thanks for the follow, I was starting to worry I might be talking to the ether.
Hey really like you’re idea…sounds majorly motivating
when i saw the title i thought of this video…http://www.ted.com/talks/tony_porter_a_call_to_men.html
..maybe you can use it for something
Your blog is amazing! I don’t know you but am very happy that you are taking such a public step for this project. Thanks for being supportive and following our blog! God Bless
LOVE your blog, especially love that you are ‘a certified IKEA furniture maker’! Thanks for the follow, EMT x

Hey thanks for the visit to my blog. Blessings on your journey. I love what you are trying to do and am going to watch and learn something. Keep moving forward!
Thanks for following my blog. I laughed out loud several times while reading your “about page,” and greatly admire your wit, writing style, wide range of skills and expertise. You have a great idea for a blog here! Self improvement is very high on my list as well.
What an awesome project! I’ll definitely stick around to see your progress
Thanks for follow! I was happy to get introduced to the Better Man Project. I look forward to keeping up with all the latest developments. Good luck, you’re an inspiration.
Interesting idea behind your blog, I look forward to reading more! Cheers
Thanks for stopping by…I am glad you did. I will be showing your video to my husband who also is breaking out of the American mold and becoming a better man. He is one of those great men who will help change history, but no one may ever know his name.
THANKS FOR BOTH VISITING AND SUBSCRIBING TO MY BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M MORE THAN GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoy your posts and look forward to reading them. Keep up the great writing.
Cheers,

How did you get so motivated to do this? I always say I’m going to do things, but I never know where to begin. I never seem motivated long enough to do something like this. (It’s probably because I’m only 19, and still in college.)
Thank you so much for following our blog! Sorry it took me so long to respond. I am totally blown away by what you are doing. Fantastic! You are such an inspiration, you have strengthened my resolve to become the person that I want to be. Thanks again. Claudia
Thank you for following HoB. Much appreciated! I’ll be hanging around here…
Hi Evan, Thank you for following my blog! I look forward to reading more of your posts. Mini-vans… lol.
Truly, JoAnn
Thank you for stopping by and following my blog. It’s appreciated
What you’re doing id truly amazing, many people around us plan to do such things but never go through with it, it’s good to see that everybody is not the same. Followed you back, Good luck!
Fabulous content! So glad you followed my blog so that I could be led to your blog. You have quite a resume there and should be very proud of all you’ve accomplished thus far. But as a smart person, you realize there is always room for improvement. I’ve been exploring this myself. I look forward to reading your blogs.
I think I’m in love, you had me at “I can vacuum floors” haha
I have nominated you for an award in my link below. You might not do this type of thing, but I hope by putting you on my page, it’ll help towards the next 10,000.
Ooops, forgot the link: http://arooseyeview.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/not-what-it-seems-oh-a-blogging-award/
Thank you for following. You have a really cool blog! I look forward to coming back:)
Thanks for following my blog! I appreciate it and I love the idea of what you’ve got going on here. Best of luck!
Love your blog and the idea at its heart. I couldn’t agree more and I am trying to do my part as well. Best of luck and God bless.
Great video. I think the opening could be a good promo for blogging generally. It doesn’t have to be about getting lots of people to read your stuff. It is about improving yourself and doing it publicly. Again, really good video. I think I might show it to the youth group at my church.
I think I’m in love:)
No, seriously – it’s absolutely great what you’re doing – I admire your courage and your passion about life, that’s something really rare to be found in people!
I wish you all the best for your journey!!
Hello! thank you for following me. I can say you are quite an inspirational person!! Goodluck on your journey!
The mini van I swore I would never buy is in my driveway. Not because my womb overproduced, but I needed it for a road trip to Alaska (better gas mileage). And, well, I love it! Anyway, I like what you write, and I’m going to encourage my son to start thinking about man-ness and read your blog.
Hi Evan,
You have a great idea for your blog.

Gosh I am in love with you already, I just started, as in 5 days ago, the Growing Up Project – and you already subscribed? Seems we are interested in the same things – except you are much further along in the process. As I am totally new to the blogging thing, it feels special that you subsribed, but i guess you do that on a daily basis
HAHAHAHA
no seriously I am impressed and thanks!
BTW, I think a mentor would be sth I could really benefit from, have you ever considered that?

I found this blog after I got an email that you were following mine. Curious, I checked out your page. It is very similar to what I have started with my blog – focusing on bettering yourself. You are doing amazing work and I can’t wait to read more about your journey.
Good luck!
Hey, Just to let you know I have nominated you for ‘The Liebster Award’ here http://savedindrafts.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/the-liebster-award/ (if that link works lol)
Happy New Year
Hey Evan –
It’s funny – I started my blog about the same time you started yours – and I happened to be perusing who was following some of my posts and came across you and your site. I really like what I’m seeing and will be looking some more. Best of luck to you in all of your pursuits –
Take care,
Tom
WOW!!!
Hey, thanks so much for following my blog! I’m kinda impressed you found it, since I can count on 1 hand the number of male followers that I have (although you do mention above that you iron, he hee).
Anyways, keep up the good work, and if you’re ever in need of a custom-made shirt, I do take sewing commissions.
Hi Evan,
I love the inspiring way you share with your readers. Just thought I would stop by and let you know I’ve nominated The Better Man Project for the Blog of the Year Award! Find out more at:
Big fan of your blog and your message
http://thehandwrittenlife.wordpress.com/2012/12/29/blog-of-the-year-award-2012/
Best wishes for the New Year,
Andrea
This is a cool blog. Glad you helped me discover it. Thanks for dropping by my blog and for deciding to follow me. We need more stuff on the web about men’s issues and becoming a better man.
Great blog! If only more men aspired to be better. Well, not even men, boys. Actually, teenaged boys. And they could use a good lesson on pulling their pants up where they belong, too. Thanks for the follow. Hopefully we’ll be selling books one day soon!
With so much going on your life (and this is quite an impressive list!), it’s a wonder that you have time to respond to comments or visit other blogs… my guess is that it is harder now, than when you started this project! Glad I found your work. Enjoying working my way back… though, this morning I thought I might start at the beginning.
Congrats on the upcoming book release and this journey. Really powerful stuff.
Hi Evan! Thank you for checking out my blog and following!! I love your ideas and wish you well on your journey. I too believe the world needs better man, but not only men, better women. My goal for 2013 is to strive to be my best. To better myself, in so many ways. Thank you for your inspiring journey!
Thanks so much for following my blog. It gave me a chance to check out yours. Perfect timing as I am not being a great ‘woman’ at the moment, so this inspires me to be a little better.
*needs.. teehee
the world truly need more men like you
thanks for following my blog :*
Thanks for following Evan. You truly are an inspiration to many. As it goes to say God sends people into our paths for reason, the way you have connected to so many people is truly a work of his Grace. Look forward to continued inspiration.
Thanks again for following my blog
Reading about your project was great. It was amazing seeing what your doing! Very inspiring. Thanks!
Hi Evan. Thanks for visiting my blog. I noticed this in your about me page, ” I do not necessarily know where I am going…..” One of Jesus’ disciples said that to him. You should read the reply that He gave to His follower in John 14:6. Scott
thank you for visiting and following my blog
Thanks for following my blog. I’m returning the favor, and look forward to hearing about your further adventures.
Thank you so much for the follow! I am already loving your blog. I’ve followed you, and hope to read more from you while your on your journey!
Definite high five on your blog, guy. It sounds like we have quite a bit in common. Well, except for my lack of great talent in any particular area and the fact that I’m okay with bell peppers. Totally not cool with spiders though, and I’m very much anti-mini-van as well. Oh, oh. And the quotes. Yeah, that too. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Ha, also in my Author’s statement is an emphasis that I’m a failed athlete
Great!
Your project should be the goal of all of the male persuasion. And it appears that you are well on your way to your goal. Congratulations! Thanks for dropping by my blog.
Hello!
I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award! I am an appreciative writer and reader of the WordPress world; and I am more than happy to spread the cheer. Please see my post here!

Blogging always,
jackie.eat.world
The world does need better human beings and I am glad here and there people realize it. I admire you and your ideas, I love this blog and I appreciate what you do. I had to nominate seven blogs for the Beautiful Blogger Award. It was quite hard but you have been chosen. If you want to participate you can find the rules here http://beinquisitive.wordpress.com/2012/12/27/beautiful-blogger-award-i-am-nominated/. Keep up with the good work!

~Lyann
Thank you so much for following my blog! With it being the day before Christmas I don’t have much time for blog reading today but I have followed yours so I can come back. I already know I love the title and the concept and I want to know more about your journey.
Just nominated you for “One Lovely Blog Award.” Here’s the link: http://whetyourwoman.com/2012/12/23/three-blog-awards/ Truly fantastic blog. Thank-you.
Absolutely Love your bio. Thanks for coming to visit my blog. I’m following you now.
Great blog. Following – Wish you the very best and look forward to seeing your future developments!
I can honestly say this is the most enjoyable bio I have ever read!
Ye gods … is there any room left to comment? No wonder I never get any readers—you’ve hogged ‘em all.
I was going to say that you sound more like me than me—except I’m not afraid of spiders, have never zonked a fly with a screwdriver (bashed some with a hammer, though, does that count?) and when I’m shooting a rifle—as enthusiastic as I may be—the safest place to sit is right in front of the target. To this day no-one knows what happened to at least half of the rounds I’ve squeezed off but it makes good aprés shoot conversation. Guinness and scotch, I like ‘em both (have never tried ‘em in the same glass at the same time; you may have started something there).
And I never made it to a full beard (after four days I kept tripping over it and The Spouse suggested I shave it off).
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I am looking forward to reading yours. It looks great, I really like your intro.
Evan, I ADORE your blog! I love the concept,I admire just how down to earth you are and how your thoughts and images portray life. I am always on the lookout for people that inspire me,I like how you are a day to day guy that is living life and documenting his inner most thoughts and feelings. All the best! Caterina
I would call your blog The Human Project because everyone on this earth should always strive to be better. You have inspired me to do that, so I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award! You can find your nomination and requirements at http://wp.me/p1StdW-ky.

That is a great video. Not just the content, but the production. I love to know how you did it. We share many of the same ideas. Keep up the good work!
Hello. I have always considered the purpose of your blog admirable and the content is great. So I’ve nominated you for two blog awards

I have been following your blog for a while and have nominated you for a Liebster Blog Award. If you accept the award the details can be found here http://ljlenehan.com/2012/12/08/liebster-blog-award-acceptance-and-nominations/ Congratulations!
Hi! Thank you for following my blog
It’s really wonderful to meet people who aim at becoming better individuals, so I’m following your blog too!
I enjoyed reading this About You page and it seems that you’re really taking this journey earnestly. I’m amazed at how much of a Renaissance man you are. How I wish I could be like you one day.
You speak Japanese? Impressive. I lived in Asia for three years and only know enough Mandarin/Canto to get around. Thanks so much for the follow. Great project. Am following.
Oh wow! I just read the About Me section of your blog. (I wonder how many women’s first thought was, “Is he married or does he have a single brother just like him?) Seriously, it’s a wonderful blog and a great project you’ve got going! Thank you for following my blog. I’m very new to this, just jumping into it within the past month. It’s encouraging when people follow.
Wow, you’ve been busy! And from the look of your bucket list you like to stay busy
It shows what one can accomplish with focus and dedication. Good luck to you, and I hope you find what you are looking for!
Thanks for the follow and I’ll look forward to hearing more from you. I have now walked away twice from good, permanent posts in professional careers (after years of giving them my all), and it is nice to connect with other people who could understand why that might be the right thing for me to do. There’s just so much to do and try in life!
Hi Evan,
Thanks for the follow on my blog http://www.shawnflaherty.com. We are on similar paths it sounds like. Feels pretty good, doesn’t it? YAY!!!
For those who think that life will simply come to them… stop fooling yourselves! YOU need to make it happen for YOURSELF! Live your life fully and do not settle.
You deserve better, don’t you?
Keep up the good work, Evan. It feels pretty good, eh?
Thanks, Evan, for the following. Interesting introduction. All the best mate!
Okay, what can’t you do? You have so much energy that pours out into your writing! *laughing* I feel incredibly lazy! *smiling* and I thought I had energy! *laughing* You have the most interesting about page I’ve come across! Thanks for checking out my blog, love your energy! …….Paula x
Thanks for the follow:) your blog looks really interesting.
Thanks for not only being a better man.. but sharing it with us and inspiring others to be the same.. We need more men like you in the world..
Hello! Thanks for following my blog. Looks like we have if not similar, at least comparable goals
and definitely not fitting in a box which is really cool. Keep on going! and noce meeting you.
I love your project and how you describe yourself. Gosh, you seem all over the place
Sahar
you’ve been nominated! http://bagladylulu.com/2012/12/04/take-it-or-liebster/
I cried when I was reading your description.
Hi Evan, Thanks for the following, made me find your blog. Enjoy reading it and even better to hear that you are making great progress towards your goal. I will keep checking in to hear more. All the best, Ramona
One of the coolest blogs I’ve come across! Great description of yourself, too; it reminded me of a famous college admissions essay I once read by Hugh Gallagher. Check it out!
Thanks for following my blog. What a great inspiration you are, and congrats on the book. My dream is to publish a book one day. I’ve been writing since I was 15, started with poetry. I’m a medical writer for a continuing medical education company, a field I’ve been in for almost 20 years. To me, my greatest accomplishment is my blog. I write from my heart and it’s a tribute to my mom. Writing has helped me to heal and hopefully I can help others by sharing what I feel after losing my mom. My mom was a good person, big heart, always put others first, even when she was dying from pancreatic cancer. I tried to be more like my mom, but realized that I was me, Kathy, and that I should be myself, but try to be a better version of myself. Sometimes I take one step forward and then two steps back, but I am trying. The best to you.
Wow.
I’ll come back later when I’m better with the words; this is wonderful. Inspiring.
Nice to meetcha, Churchill!
Hi. I like what you say. Also, thanks for following my blog; sorry it’s taken this long to get back to you. Thoroughly new to this and still learning to navigate.
You have a wonderful outlook on life…you are a good man if not a better one! Thanks for following my blog!
Well done Evan! I think that your story is one that many people across the globe have shared over the last few years.
Evan, I’m delighted to meet you this way. Thank you for connecting and checking out my blog. I look forward to reading more of what you write. See you on Twitter too!
Thank you for following my blog. Better men make better people! You are doing great work.
Life begins outside your comfort zone! Congratulations on choosing a higher road on which to travel. Thanks for following my blog – I look forward to following your journey.
I wish you all the best on this amazing journey you are on — and may you be an inspiration to many others who are also looking to be a positive force in this world. Thanks so much for following my blog!
What an aspiration!
Thanks for dropping by my blog & following, I’m glad it led me here!
You had me at “better man.” I hope all men, young and old, read your blog. Good for you!
G’day Evan, thanks for dropping by my site. I wandered over here and was very impressed by your approach and candour. Really nice work. Looking forward to following your travels.
Cheers
Darren
Thanks for following my blog: http://blog.johnrchildress.com I look forward to sharing a Scotch, single malt only, some day.
Thank you for subscribing. We are really pleased to have found you too! Best, Catherine.
Hey Evan–thank you for following my new blog! Not just because it’s nice to know that someone actually reads what you put out there
…but mostly because since you followed my blog, I in turn found yours…which is wonderful and inspiring…looking forward to reading more about your journey…
I’m curious to see where this will be going
good luck.
Thanks for following my blog. LOVE your “about me” and can’t wait to read more!
Hi Evan, thank you for discovering and following my blog as it has given me the chance to discover and enjoy yours. I will be reading your completed posts and look forward to your new ones. Well done for pursuing such a magnificent goal and being so self aware. My best regards SN
Thanks for the follow! Very motivating and amazing blog you have here. Look forward to your posts.
Hi and thanks for following me at Move Into Change. The world can certainly use better men and women, bravo for the quest.You can count on me for encouragement anytime,
Judy
Firstly, thanks for following my blog! I would love to know what you thought of it so that I can improve it more. Secondly, amongst the enormous pile of skills and achievements that you listed, the one that made me the most insanely jealous yet at the same time made me want to make you my best friend was the “I speak Japanese” bit. Please tell me where you acquired such an amazing skill as well as any words of wisdom you would give to otakus like me who are novices in this amazing art.
First I would like to say thank you for following my blog. I took the time to read some of your post and must say that I am impressed by your vision with thebettermanprojects. I will love to continue to see where it goes. I will be following.
Evan, your blog is packed with meaning, such a refreshing place to come. And thanks for following my blog. Very kind of you.
Melissa
An absolutely beautiful video and a beautiful concept. Very well articulated and moving. Thanks for this. I’m so happy I found your blog.
After 63 years and BA and MA in religious studies . I learned all you need to do to be a better person or satisfy deity is never be the sources of anyone’s misfortune and never pass up the opportunity to perform a charitable act. That’s it.
Thank you for the like and the follow on my blog. The best part is it brought me to yours.
Steve
Thank you for the inspiration!
http://lifessweetbittersurprises.wordpress.com/2012/11/28/two-sweet-nominations/
Hi Evan,
I’ve nominated you for a Sunshine Award. I love what you’re doing with your blog, and wish that more men felt the same.
You can read the nomination here: http://awonderouslife.com/2012/11/26/sunshine-on-my-shoulders/
Great job!
I enjoyed reading about you. I wish every man would commit to their own “better man” project. What an amazing world this would be.
First of all, I’d like to say thank you for following my blog. I came to your blog to see what you were all about, and have to say, that I was inspired by the things you had to say. Your honesty and integrity made me want to know more about who you are as a person. I look forward to getting to know you, and hope that you will continue to get to know me through my words as well.
I also would like to just say a big thank you for just being a kind person. I really hope that your blog exceeds your expectations. There can never be too many kind and thoughtful people in the world.
Cheers.
I just wanted to say hi and thank you for following my blog. It really means a lot to me. I have looked a little over yours, and plan to look at it even more in the next few days. It looks like you have a really nice blog, and I hope for the best for your book.
Absolutely Fantastic! Looking forward to going through your blog. You seem to be on a similar journey!! YAY for loving life!
Amberly – Read It, Live It, Share It.
Great blog, great name, and great quotes. Thanks for this, and also a big thank you for following my blog, Soulsify. I look forward to following your journey!
I’m all for better men in the world– well, that’s not strictly true. I’m after better people in general. It’s good to see some progress over none, naturally~ and I’m always glad to see self-improvement as a goal.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Evan, and thanks a ton for following. I’ve been a little inactive lately, unfortunately, but one day I’ll be the American novelist too, so it’s nice to see I’m not the only one with that goal in mind. Is it not written, “we are the sum of our goals”? Well if it wasn’t before, it is now.
May all your endeavors be fruitful ones,
-Eris
What a great thing you are doing. I have been on a similar path as a woman and have learned similar things. Thank you for following my blog. I realized there is so much to learn, when I found out a man in NY can sell plastic cubes of NY Garbage for $50 a whop, and I can’t even sell a hug for free! ha ha
I will never stop learning, never stop growing, never stop changing, never stop wondering. I am fascinated and devastated by life all at the same time. But I will never give up. And I will never give up my passions for anyone else either. That kind of strength is so liberating to me, even though it can be sometimes, the loneliest path ever.
Thank you for being you! May love and inspiration be with you every step of the way. And love, mercy, and compassion for the days you’re crawling. I will be curious to see what other things you’ve said before, or will say later.
Good luck.
Evan,
Hi! john here from the Book of Pain (http://bookofpain.wordpress.com). I got a message the other day that you are following my blog and I wanted to say thank you very much and that I am returning the favor. You need to post more!
I thought your “About Me” post was incredible..very well written.
Keep it up and thank you again!
john

Thanks for following the tuesdaysaturday blog! Your posts are great!
Having read your introduction and listening to your voice recording I am not sure which I am the lesser of: intrigued or intimidated. The subtle blend of confidence and humility expressed with passionate honesty exposing the vulnerability of innocence is very alluring and reflected by the number of those wanting to follow you in your journey… That said, thank you for visiting and deciding to follow my blog and, to wish you good fortunes would be an understatement.
Beautiful thoughts, inspiring words; you are a visionary. Thank you for allowing us into your life.
Um, when do you sleep? I’m thinking you’ll make me look bad…
I’d love to know what you struggle with (besides spiders and bell peppers). Thank you for visiting my blog so I could find yours!
Thanks for the follow, Evan! What an inspirational project you’ve set out for not only yourself, but others
Keep it up!

We have something in common: I used to be involved in bodybuilding! I highly recommend it for developing your inner strength along with the physique! Looking forward to reading more from you.

Hi Evan. Thanks for the follow
I just got round to reading your blog in more detail and I must say I love it. I am finding a lot to be inspired by in these pages, and a few things that I may well write about myself. Keep it up!!
My best wishes to you in what you have undertaken – a very positive step.
Also, I see that you are following my blog Mo-Ments or Idle Thoughts; perhaps it may trigger some thoughts in you.
Here is a relevant extract from my book “The Milk Is White”:
Observe, Observe, Observe.
Observe others and learn, observe nature and learn but, above all, observe self and learn, for this is one of the main keys to spiritual perfection.
Ω
Wow, Evan you are truly a role model for all men. Your video was absolutely inspiring and has pushed me to deeply examine why I am writing my own blog even more. It’s wonderful to see talented writers like yourself becoming the change that you want to see in the world. I see great things for you!
I look forward to your posts & thank you for the follow!
I like the simplicity of your writing. Easy to know where you’re coming from, it is grounded in understanding and is competent. I like that.
I’m digging your blog – nice job. And thank you for the follow. I look forward to keeping up with yours.
Evan,
I am so glad that I saw you had checked out my blog, as it led me back here. I love your writing, and especially the passion and purpose of The Better Man Project! Oh, and the baseball team and no minivan … just live in a small town where you can walk/bike to wherever you want to go … problem solved!
Carole
Thanks for following the simple cherishes blog, Evan! You have a great blog here, and I can see how you inspire others to as I can tell you are a great learner. All the best for your journey!
Cool premise. A very positive approach to what can be a narcissistic form (blogs). It made me think about writing themes being intertwined with a blog. My blog is more or less a dumping ground for the writing produced in school and leisure. So, there is no unifying theme to it.
Cheers
I love your short movie explaining your purpose. It is refreshing to hear your commitment to becoming the best you. I too am becoming my happiest self possible. Thank you for following my Blog! Gratitude Dance! :~)
Thanks for following Run it Off, Evan. I appreciate you checking it out. Best wishes on your pursuit; would that more people, not just men, were so inclined. I noticed the one activity missing from your self-description is running…it’s a real test of mental steel if you’re doing it right…you might want to consider it;) Cheers!
“The world needs better men.” That quote alone is worth the price of admission. I’ll give you a try, Evan, and thanks for following my blog.
hey brother, thanks so much for the follow. Really awesome blog you have here, your video about your message is amazing, aswell as your personal description. Honest and real. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for following! I look forward to reading your posts, following your journey, and getting to know you better!
Hi Evan…thanks for checking out my blog. I totally agree that this world needs stronger men – not more productive or more impressive…more real. I respect your journey, your intentionality and your teachable spirit.
Thanks for following! Looking forward to your posts!
The most fantastic self-descriptic version of self I have ever seen!
I find your video deeply inspiring too.
Carry on!
Love
Anna
I like very much the way you express yourself, I think I share a lot with you, first and foremost the insomnia bit and love for business and writing.I wish you best of luck.
What a great project. You sound like a very interesting, solid person. I’m looking forward to reading your posts! Thanks for following me!
I appreciate you stopping by my blog and am so glad that you did so it would bring me back here – here’s to there being more and more of us trying to be “better men”
Hey, thanks for the follow. I like what you’re doing here. Inspirational!

Thanks for following my writing blog Evan! Seems like we are on a similar journey albeit I’m trying to be a better woman.
Dang man. I will be 100% transparent and say that your video about the better man project moved me to tears.
Dear Evan,
Just found you here, thanks to your follow on my blog. Thanks!
As for your project, well I am rather at a loss to find words to describe how I feel after reading some of the posts.I am moved, impressed, awed… I have the utmost respect for you. To share in another person’s journey is to learn about life. Writing has always been my savior, and blogging is a way to reach out to the world. Fear be damned. Let all voices be heard!
Fantastic work! Bravo!

I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to visit with me and deciding to stay for the ride. You are quite the accomplished man and I find it so brave and courageous to share your own journey with the rest of the world. You have, I think, shown the beauty of being humble and I think that being humble and showing humility is such an integral part of being a grand person.
Evan, Wow! I really had to scroll down here to thank you for following my blog, Unemployed High Jinks. I have greatly enjoyed reading your blog, and most certainly will be back! ~Mary
Hi, I would like to tell you that you are on my nomination list for blog awards
well thank you
Please Join My Dream https://www.facebook.com/BetterManProject
I love this! Thank you for following ‘Beautiful, Courageous You’ X
I’m really glad I found your site, and very happy that you are following my blog. I feel though, that I’m not in your league. Not even close. You’re definitely one of the good guys. Can’t wait to read more. Thanks again.
Chuck
I am so glad I found your blog…or should I say glad you found mine first! I absolutely love this post. I have blogged recently that I feel pretty stuck right now and in need of some inspirations. I really want to let you know just listening to your video and reading your blog has already given me a sense that I am not alone in feeling stuck. I would even say it has given me a bit of inspiration to push myself even more to do and be what I want to. So thank you, and I look forward to reading more.
Hi, thank for liking my blog (a three-day baby, in fact). It helped me to discover yours, and I am beginning to enjoy it immensely!
Hi, I’ve nominated you for The Beautiful Blogger Award!
Don’t worry you aren’t obligated to take part, but if you decide to, the rules for the award can be found here : http://morganlefables.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/ive-been-nominated/
Hello Evan,
Thanks for dropping by. Just love what you write, keep it up. I’m sure you are destined to be a great writer and motivator.
Abraham
Evan, I salute you! I’ll be following your journey and I know you’ll achieve your goal. You already have a winning attitude. That’s half the battle won already. Thanks so much for stopping by and following ISLAND VIGNETTES. I appreciate it more than you know.
Awesome! I can identify with your clip so much. You know I was thinking just the other day about how people talk about having a ‘successful blog’. I think as long we keep blogging about our passions and expressing ourselves from the heart space, it will always be sucessful. Whether noone is following, or 5 billiion people are following, it will always be sucessful because through our expression we can see ourselves grow.
I like what you said about when referring to ‘you’, you are really saying ‘me’. Blogs are like online diaries – we just take more care and then intent is a bit stronger, because we are putting it out there into the world!
Keep shining!
Mel x
Great blog man, thanks for bringing my attention to it!!
Good luck on your journey
Rohan.
Now can we just clone you?

So is there “a better woman” project somewhere too? Haha!
Cheers to Life!

It’s a pleasure to meet you, Evan. I enjoyed listening to your video; a wonderful endeavor you have begun. I pray that in meeting these aspirations and goals, living the inspired life you seek, you arrive to a place of content and joy.
Blessings,
~ Cara
Wow….that video was so raw and powerful, it brought me to tears. With only a gender difference, I recognize so much of my journey through your words. Fate brings things into your life in strange ways. I’m glad it brought you to my blog and led me back here.
I look forward to reading more of your inspiring words.

Will follow your blog. Greetings!
I really admire your blog. Thanks for finding mine and following! Moreover, thank you for the great inspiration you’re providing, and for striving to be a better man.
Thank you for finding my blog and thank you for the follow. I wish everyone in the world could have a “better___fill__in___your____name___here___project”
blog.
You are a leader.
you. are. amazing!
i’m always inspired by people who are willing to share themselves and their journey with everyone else. i wish you growth, evolution and ease along your journey and i truly hope you inspire other people to be their better/ best selves.
My gosh. Can I be your best friend? Haha, and I’m probably not even joking. Best of luck on being the good man, my good man. Will be looking forward to your entries.
Ohh, my dear, this blog is fantastic. It’s real, and it’s you and I have so much respect and admiration for the type of person you are! I will faithfully read and hopefully you will faithfully read mine too!

You have a unique voice. Stay true to it. Never go backwards to move forward. It should be an interesting ride “watching” you grow into a better man. – Rigby Rat.
My favorite quote: “The more you carry the past around, the less likely it is that the future will improve.” – Bill Bradley
Hi Thanks for following my blog.
i like your idea of better man. the world need a better and evolved man. i wish you d luck.
Really good to see people wanting to change their life for the better not just for themselves
Quite amusing that my blog is more about why and how you should change (but usually you don’t) and yours is about making things happen
You have a lot of personal power everyone does, but you are choosing to use it a bit which is really good to see
Keep rockin!!!
Thanks for following my blog The Urge to Write. Looking forward to reading your posts!
Keep sharing friend! The world needs your compassion!
Much Love,
Jordi
Thanks for the follow! Your blog and project sounds amazing. I look forward to seeing what you’re up to!
Thanks, Rachel Marie
Thanks for the follow at gobebeautiful. I look forward to checking out your project, cool stuff!
This is a very interesting view on life.
There are many things we have in common…Can I become a better man, too?
Forgive me my irreverence.
Great project!
Well, it’s too late to marry you, but maybe my son can grow to be the inspirational and honest man that you are. And, yes, why not, my daughter too.

Thank you for the follow at “Through The Cracked Window”, It means a lot to me. I have looked at some of your posts and truly like what you have to say. Stephen (Stoic)
Thank you for the follow on my blog, “The Alzheimer Roller Coaster”, I must say that reading your blog first thing in the morning, made the start of my day with a smile and a happy note. I know I will be following you for your uplifting comments. I know I have a wonderful husband, and it is reassuring to know that there are other wonderful men out there as well. I absolutely LOVED your quote page!!! I will be referring to it often. Have a great day!
You seem like a really rad dude! Thanks for the follow
Thankyou for the follow, I think your project is going to make for some interesting reading…
Hi Evan, thanks for following my blog. I hope to read so much about this project of yours. The world indeed needs more people like you.
I I should have met you! Where were you?
. Thanks for following my blog.
Speechless… simply speechless
Evan, I believe we are kindred spirits. You are right, the world does need better men, and it heartens me considerably to read your blog. And, it is exactly what I am doing with my blog!
Evan, thank you for listening to yourself and sharing this remarkable journey. Keep going. The world needs more of you. Thank you for following my blog.
Dear Evan, thanks for following my blog: http://www.thethirdtrimesteroflife.wordpress.com. I really like your blog. Lord knows we can all use better men..I’m a photographer too. What do you like to photograph? I have a website http://www.photographyforcommunitygood.com. Mostly photos. Will be posting a new one in a few days about Bodie, CA. Thanks again for following me & I’m doing the same for you. Best, Donna
Read the book last year and it was worth every minute it took for me to consume the stories.
I always try to do follow-backs, and I was truly glad that I did. This is an amazing blog, created from a truly amazing idea far as I am concerned. I look forward to seeing what is to come.
love your blog
you are a better just for having the strength to embark on this project
thanks for the follow
Your blog is truly inspirational! I look forward to following you on your journey and learning a few things along the way. Thanks for the follow. PS I will never own a mini van either!
What a great idea for a blog! So excited to be following!
Hello Evan, thanks for following my blog. You have a great blog here, with lots of passion in it. Keep it up! Hope to see more posts from you. God bless.
Thank you for the ‘follow’; you have a fantastic blog here… looking forward to reading more.
I like what I have seen/read so far of your blog and you sound like a great guy already, based on your self-description!!
Hi! Thank you for following my blog.. You have great one here. Keep writing!
Thanks for following my blog. I like what you’ve got going here! I can’t wait to see how your book turns out!
Always wanted a white wrap-around porch. Even on two sides of the house would be great (front and side). Like your profile, but I do own a mini-van and try to look cool when driving it.
I totally want a white wrap around porch.
Wow! An amazing blog. I feel humbled that you’re following mine. Thank you!
Simply Stellar! I love the project, the intent and the pure passion behind it. And I am sooo with you on the whole minivan thing:) Have two boys and haven’t caved yet;) I appreciate your reaching out and following lifeschoolinc and thephoneboothproject. I’ve posted this amazing page on StumbleUpon and I can only hope even more find you. Look forward to the ride ahead! jennifer
Great endeavour! Thanks for the follow on my blog
Your blog is incredibly impressive. Love what your doing and the guts you have to lay it all out there. All the best! P.S. I’m following you on Twitter now. See you there.
What a project! Congratulations! I will look through your blog for inspiration. and thanks for the follow; truly appreciated.
I love your blog
And you sound like a really nice, geniune person
I think it more people thought like you did the world would be so much better
thank you for following me and making me aware of your wonderful site, Evan. I am now your follower as well. Carla Stockton
I love your blog, so happy I came across it. I feel honoured that you follow my blog. You are an inspiration!
That is quite amazing:
You can´t control life when it Life´s you.
Clap my hands for that.
Yours is an inspirational blog – I’m very glad to have connected with you and I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on in your quest. Best of luck – and I think you’re a better man just by being wise enough to begin a project like this. Well done. SJ
Your project sounds absolutely amazing, the world needs definitely better people and I am so glad to see that there are people like you who really try to be good. I read all your ‘about’ page and you seem such an interesting person! I can’t wait to explore your blog!
Nice video. I’m glad you worked through the pain to find your passion. I can relate to the bit about being a slight pyromaniac. Had I not caught the bathroom trash on fire and singed the bathroom at age six, I might have gotten more daring. I didn’t play with fire after that
Evan, your video is inspiring. I have read that we grow in consciousness if we have an understanding of who we are. And you can dance as well……
Howdy!
I’ve nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Check out the link to your blog here: http://sweetspellbaking.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/very-inspiring-blogger-award/

Happy to discover your positive and inspiring journey to be a better man! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Bell pepper make me gag too, but I’ve been known to entertain small children with said gagging. The things I do for my cousins…
I just love that: I am, 100%, me.
Beautiful.
Thank you!
So nice to hear that there is a man who is working to be better! I can’t wait to peruse your blog!!
You are amazing. Thank you for following my simple blog.
You are absolutely amazing at describing yourself, which I am sure it all must be true :-p
Thank you for following me and I hope we will be connecting very often. I will definitely be checking your material more often!
Love & Light,
Moon
Thanks for stopping by my blog and following! We definitely need more ‘better men’…I don’t know how old you are, but I am in my ‘second half of life as a woman and I can say ‘good men are hard to find’. So keep at it. We all need to be the best we can be all the time!
Hi Evan. You certainly have a busy, exciting and colourful life. Thank you for following my blog. The Foureyed Poet.
I love your blog! I think it is a fantastic, inspirational, and worthwhile idea to pursue, and I appreciated your artistic video as well. I hope you get to accomplish all of your goals, and it’s nice that you are also encouraging so many readers out there to live life to the fullest. Many people aren’t as positive as you are, so it’s nice to read your uplifting posts! I wish you the best of luck and will be on the look out for your book too.
Funny, heartfelt, honest… ‘I do not necessarily know where I am going, but I know who I am going to be when I get there’. I hear you on that one – thanks for the follow btw. Cheers, Jen
Wow~ that may be the best “about me” page I have seen and maybe the best I am yet to see. It was funny, intellectual and I love that you are smart and into fitness. You forgot to add “one who breaks stereotypes” to your list. You may find several of my posts interesting~ but these two to start.
The Better Man Project~ great concept. Still better men deserve better women. Haha!

Thanks for following The Sound of Wisdom.
From the description you have at the top of this page, it seems you’re already there! What else do you want? Maybe you need to start looking at something beyond normal human experience. Delve into a realm of endless possibilities, not bound by space-time or cause-effect.
You mentioned that you are a “social Darwinist”? What does that mean? If it meant following Darwin’s materialistic vision of the universe, then you wouldn’t be able to step beyond what the mind perceives, based on data feeds from the five senses.
All the Best,
The Soaring Eagle.

Okay Evan:
I am really amazed at how you found the time to even gather a glimpse at my 1-day site and decide to follow it.
I see that you are a man with a vision on a mission and I applaud that. With the amount of writing and other things you do how do you find the time to read the posts from the sites you follow?
I’m going to nickname you “Superman”.
Thanks for the follow; I won’t keep you any longer. I’m sure you have some tall building to leap over on your way to becoming a Better Man
All the Best,
~FYNALLE
Indeed, the world needs better men and women… I am happy to know that you embarked on this project… Am sure though you will be faced with a lot of difficulties at times, there is always strength for the journey – an oasis of sorts – that we somehow stumble upon exactly when we needed it. Thank you following my blog. See you at the end of our project or journey!
Interesting blog. Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking my post. Blessings to you!
Very nice! As an avid Lego aficionado, I like the part about you being a Lego architect. It is the one toy that no matter how old you are, you can still enjoy, create, and build. I suppose there are other toys like that but Legos are so versatile.

You seem like an awesome person and I just became super inspired reading your blog. Look forward to more of your stuff and getting to know you better hopefully. Oh, and Good Luck on your goals, you extra got this!
Thank you, Evan, for following “Oceantics”, which led me here to watch your video and follow you. A few months ago, I wrote a little poem called “Someone Has to Start”.
If the world
were filled with good
women who see good
men, the world we think
we see would be
no more.
You are one of those good men.
I love the poem!

Howdy Better Man! After your ‘About Me’ description, I feel as if I know you! Nice meeting you on the blogosphere.
Evan,
A beautiful about me page and video. We share a number of things in common, although I’m guessing that everyone shares at least one thing in common with your list.
I’m curious why you don’t show your face in the video, but tell so much about yourself in the “about me”? You paradoxically undress yourself without revealing who you are.
oh my goodness i absolutely love this! if you are able to read more of my posts, youll see i feel the same way! i love the focus of your blog, im already learning from it
thank you for stopping by and taking a look at mine
Wow! I’m still flabbergasted after reading “About Mw” and your video explaining about how your blog got started. Great writing style. If you ever write a book, let me know. I would be your first person to buy one.
Will return to see what else is on the table.
Best of luck,
Omaar.-

Congratulations, traveller!

Hi! Thanks for following my blog. It really means a lot to me. I was just going through some of your posts and even though, we have a big age difference we are somewhat alike and share the same thoughts. I can relate a lot to your posts and honestly, you have great ideas, goals, and purposes. I want to thank you for following me because otherwise, I would’ve never gotten to see your blog. Please, keep writing. Your work is very inspiring to people like me.
Wait – how many dates did you get asked out on after this “about me”?
hahah! none! haha at least yet??
That surprises me! I’d do the honors, but alas am happily married (and that would be vaguely inappropriate). Well written, though, and your spirit shines through!
hahaha! oh man thank you. Yes we would not want that haha. All the best.
AMAZING AMAZING BLOG! Now I am hooked up on all the positive side of the planet and men! Thank you thank you thank you! ♥
Confucianism is very much about “being a man at his best.” We could all do with an effort to reach our full potential.
Kudos and good luck on your journey.
You’re definitely right about one thing. The world does need better men.
Most of the guys (the ones I know at least) have settled for just being “good boys”. Thanks for the follow and the instant inspiration out of your blog. Good luck on your pursuit.
Thanks for following, I really like your blog, I’m also trying to become a better person, keep up the good work.
Sounds like you’ve got a good thing going here!
What an inspiration for me to be a better woman! Thanks for the follow and may you continue to better yourself each day. It is my hope to inspire a fraction of those you have!

Take care ! The goal of your blog is very noble !
Enjoying your blog! And thank you for following mine. It seems like we kind of had similar ideas, and as someone who is very new to this whole thing, it’s inspiring to see it has been fruitful for someone else
I hope my small endeavor works out as well as yours has for you!
Thank you for following! You’re blog idea is great. I’m also trying to make myself a better person. I will look forward to reading your posts.
Hi! I love to collect LP’s especially from artists I don’t now, exploring music, worlds, vibes! The record player is my portal to my wonderland. Fantastic way of life, enjoy your journey!
Evan, thanks for the follow. This is so real and raw. It stirs feelings in me about the men in my life.
What a great idea, so many guys need to adopt this attitude to become better men, I find so many things that guys do and then try to play the “boys will be boys” type of excuses, plain disrespectful, we need more good men. kudos to you sir !
Evan- love the bettermanproject idea. I too have felt “stuck” before. It doesn’t feel good- it’s all about creating the movement and getting the mind and spirit going again, looks like you did just that! Thanks for the follow.

Thanks for stopping by my little blog! I love what I found here, and love even more that you’ve been at it for at least 303 days. Thanks for sharing this with the world…it really does need better men (and women). Best of luck to you!
Thanks for visiting my blog http://selfdiscoveryme.wordpress.com/ . I love your project, the world could really do with more people like you! Very inspirational!
Thanks for looking me up.Great success to your committed project.
So, I thought men like you didn’t exist!! (besides my husband of course….yeah right, he wishes!) You seem too good to be true, I look forward to finding out more about this journey you are on.
Louise
Keep the passion & the love flowing my friend. You are a better man without a doubt.
Excellent biography! Loved it!
After engaging in the mankind project here in Perth, Australia and engaging with some insightful University material it very much re-emphasised to me the essential need for ‘greater’ people on this Earth. Men in particular. Why? because unfortunately a lot of the sociocultural and ecological unrest that we see today was or is continued to be caused by men. We must reconnect with nature, the feminine and ourselves. We are inherently good and the first step to realising this truth is becoming self aware and blogs as honest as this can be inspirational for others to also connect deeper with themselves and tread the path of self awareness!
Great blog! Wonderful enthusiasm! I wish yo the best and thank you for looking through my blog, I hope you continue to enjoy it…

I absolutely love this! It is literally how I feel — the day to day endeavour to be a better woman. I feel like I learn new things about myself all the time, how to deal with situations that before would have had very different (often negative) outcomes, because of my initial reactions.
I’m so happy that you stopped by and decided to follow my page as well. It’s always nice to know that we’re not on this journey of continuous and crucial moments of insight, alone
.
Hey Evan,
Thanks for following me. Your project/concept is very inspiring. I am in a similar process of self-discovery. It’s refreshing to know that there are people out there who are passionate about self-reflection and personal development in spite of the countless distractions and avoidance enablers which exist in our society. It’s much easier to latch onto external whims than it is to sit down and take stock of areas for growth within oneself. And it seems like you understand that and have made great progress.
Cheers,
-Dustin
Thanks. The world really needs better men, keep it up!
I think your mission is wonderful and I wish you all the luck in your endeavor. It may not be explicitly stated, but I am also striving to improve myself as a human being via my blog. Blogging is such a wonderful medium for self-improvement and self-empowerment. SO to that I say, blog on! I look forward to reading your future entries.
—Morgan
Beautiful!
Evan,
I think I’ve typed up and deleted about 15 paragraphs by now, but I’ll keep it short and sweet: You might possibly be the most fascinating person I’ve ever met.
Although, I’m automatically predisposed to like those who despise minivans…
Congrats on your project and best of luck with your blogging career, you are most certainly off to an amazing start!
- Katie
Your “about me” section is friggin’ awesome! =)
Greetings, Evan.
Thanks for the follow! I enjoyed your “All about me” page and video for your project. It’s nice to meet others who are not only trying to better themselves, but the world, too, in the process. I’m looking forward to reading more of your stuff.
It seems we share similar views on many, many things.
Evan, I nominated you for the Family of Bloggers Award in this post: http://passionate-performance.com/2012/10/08/giving-thanks/. Your blog is an inspiration. From the strong image that grabs my attention, followed by words that challenge and inspire. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I thank you for your support. Laurie
Thanks much for following my blog; it seems we’re writers with similar intent. Your dedication to the project is inspiring, and I look forward to reading more about your inner journey.
Evan, thank you for following me and thank you for your inspiring life mission. Where can I reach you that’s more private? da@davidalexanders.com
I shot you an email back
Hi, love your concept, love your ideals. Thanks for dropping by my blog too.
Gill
Hi Evan,
Thank you, for stopping by my blog and becoming a follower. I must say after seeing your blog and getting a better understanding of your goal I am honored. I think your blog is wonderful and the whole concept is just plain Right On! We all should strive to be better people, but we do need some better men and I am so happy you have started on this journey of sharing and inspiring others. I will also, share this with other guy friends I know and maybe it will convince them to becoming better men as well.
Keep your passion flowing. I am looking forward to seeing more.
Cheryl
Hey there! Okay, you need a turntable, most definitely. I am so not worthy when it comes to baking pies, well done!! I’m glad you’re not a drowning surfer, and go for it with that novel-writing.
So much more I could say, but I’ll thank you for following my writing blogs, and so hope you enjoy the posts.
Thanks for following, I seem to be ‘collecting’ Americans for some reason…
You appear to be leading a very active and diverse lifestyle, the opposite to my own. Good luck with all your projects, and best wishes for the future. -Pete.
Thanks for following my blog! LOVE your blog concept. Keep it up!
Hi there! Thank you for stopping by my blog and then for following, I feel pretty honoured
I’m also really glad you stopped by as it has allowed me to find your blog. What a fantastic life pursuit, its so wonderful and refreshing to see someone who genuinely wants to be better themselves not just for the positive effect it will have on their own life, but for the positivity it can bring to others. Sometimes I think we forget that we do have the ability to create change in the world just by being better people, and that we don’t have to be influential powerful people in society to achieve greatness, that just by living and fostering kindness, encouragement and support with our fellow man we are already achieving it. You’ve brought so many people together and shared a fantastic ideal and message with them, you should be very proud. I look forward to your next posts and also trying to live a little better everyday myself
Thank you x x x
You sound like such an awesome person! Thanks for the follow.

Repaying a visit. I like what I see. keep on keeping on.
Keep up the great work! Great to see the writing of a fellow Santa Clara Alum!
High five to a fellow quote junkie and Legoist (actually, I just enable my children and husband in their lego-building addictions)…and I hate to tell you this, but if you are going to have ‘a baseball team of children’, you will unfortunately own a minivan some day (speaking from experience). Did you know that just by voicing that you will NEVER own a minivan you are jinxing yourself?
Good luck to you in your honorable endeavor; the world is, indeed, in need of good men. Oh, and thanks for liking my post.
Hi Evan…….it’s wonderful to see a young man making such a positive decision and sharing it with the world with a view to inspiring others. Thanks for following my blog “Unwalled”, I am truly honored. All the best in your various endeavors…….Kim

Evan, thanks for visiting my blog. What you are doing here is awesome.
I’ve always believed that the way to change the world is for us each to do something every day to make our little piece of it a better place. Coming from the best we can be as much as possible, random acts of kindness, inspiring someone else with our example and our encouragement.
Even picking up a single piece of someone else’s litter.
Awesome work, Evan! Keep up the outstanding job and writing!
Thank you for following my blog. I watched your “you tube” video and I have to admit it all sounds so familiar. I am looking forward to learning more about your “better man project.”
Thank you for following my blog. I look forward to reading more of your work and following your adventures.

I have been following your blog and always feel like you are a soul brother I would love to collaborate with in some way. Here is the opportunity!
Would you be open to participating in TogetherOnes’ Spirit’s Calling?
With sweet grace,
Theresa

Check out the link:http://diaryofanewife.wordpress.com/2012/05/26/the-versatile-blogger-award-goes-to-me/
I was first attracted by the title of your blog! “Better Man”! This is a term I use for myself all the time. Same as you, I always wanna be a “better man”. And I really appreciate your attitude and passion to learn on a day to day basis. This is the step by step guide to personal success!
I’m following your blog! Good luck!

I totally agree with your vision. Being the mother of sons, I am doing everything I can to make sure they share this vision also. The world needs good men who are prepared to speak their mind and are prepared to be their authentic selves even if that includes a little vulnerability. Am now following your blog. Thanks for coming by mine.
Your blog is lovely!

I was on a train yesterday when I saw a Tattoo on a mans arm. And I wrote the Tattoo down thinking that I’d use the words as part of a picture story at some point. Tonight, reading about your project, I feel I should share it with you:
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”

Thought you also might be interested to know that a few years ago there was a project created in New Zealand called The Good Man Project. Set up between a number of boys schools it aimed to generate discussion on what made a ‘good man’. This project lead to a really wonderful book called ‘He’ll Be OK’ by Celia Lashlie – a truly wonderful, practical and reassuring book about raising boys to become good, loving, articulate men. Very inspiring for someone raising three boys.
Hi…
“The world needs better men” – I love this.
I have spent my day back tracking on your blog wanting to read more and gain more insight on your being and your story. It is endearingly sincere and inspirational. Thank you.
Looking forward to accompanying you on your journey through your words.
Glenda. x.

So the change is terrifyingly scary, but exciting at the same time. We have been motivating each other, (my man & I) about this move, giggling and worrying about everything. Thanks man, you’re just what we needed. I will be obsessed with your blog now….and possibly for its entire life span…
hahah what a great comment. You have so much coming in the future its great! Check out the post I wrote about fear…I think that will resonate with you right now. Keep writing comments and checking in. I will be stoked to hear from you more often.
The world does need better men, you are so right. They have so much on their shoulders that being bad, or insipid, or just not interested, will not cut it in today’s life. Thank you.
Always on board with any human who wants to be a better human. Thanks for the follow. Will be reading here more too!
Just stopping by to say thank you for following my blog! It’s inspiring to know that at least one person is able to enjoy something that I write. I’m still reading through your blog and I love the concept and what you have done here. Also following you on twitter now
All the best,

I want to offer my admiration and respect for your personal project.
While there are some amazing men in my own life, I work professionally as a victims’ advocate and gender/domestic violence specialist. I often see the worst sides of people and I love to see men acting with love and intention to be the men that both they and their loved ones deserve.
Much strength and gentleness in your continuing journey!
What an amazingly cool concept for a blog. It would be a cool college course, would provide valuable discussion and lessons.
Thank you for following my blog-
Thank you very much for following my blog, I look forward to getting stuck in to your posts.
Thank you for following my blog! Your blog is inspiring and hopefully both of us can achieve our goals this year! I look forward to reading more post from you soon.
I look forward to following your blogs.
Excellent blog my friend! To change the world first change yourself. You are an excellent example.
This blog is utterly unbelievable. Your self-awareness is astonishing. Honestly, you have managed to do what I hope to be able to do a lot of the time, and you have utilized the blogosphere magnificently.
Keep up the amazing work — I look forward to getting more of your posts.

Great blog! Thanks for the follow. You inspire me to keep blogging. I believe people of the world need to love more and you believe the world needs better men. That is just awesome…couldn’t agree more!
Not sure my comment worked the first time, so here we go again. Thanks for dropping by my blog. Look forward to reading more of your posts and I like the concept of the betterman. Great. I wrote something about being a hero recently you might find interesting. Thanks

I love, love your blog it’s truly amazing I keep recommending it to all my friends to read it. I’m also going through my own personal journey. I look forward to read more post from you.
Thank you for following my brand new blog! I look forward to following and reading yours, love the concept
Evan,
What a wonderful goal – to be a better man. I’ve had the project of being a better human being for a good 45 years now and it is most certainly a One Day at A Time (ODAT) project.
May your journey be long and successful and may it bring you great peace and contentment. Thanks for finding, reading, and following my blog.
You have some great posts on this blog. I think you will be able to help others achieve their goals. Thank you for reading and following my blog.
Very thought provoking and honest. It’s very refreshing to read. Just a queestion…you say that you think the world needs better men and want to become a better man yourself. What do you think makes a man “good” or what do you see as underlying issues with men today that makes you believe they could be “better”?
Thanks for checking out my blog. I also have been trying to become a “better” person in the last year of my life. I actually broke it down into many facets: practicing more patience with friends, family and strangers; not sweating the small things in life; showing others that I care by listening attentitively (not while checking email, texting or interrupting) and helping whenever and however I am asked; doing more sacrificial works such as volunteering in different capacities; starting new hobbies or taking part in new activites that are healthy for my body/mind/soul, which is why I’m so focused on running now.
There are a lot more things that should be added to my list, but I found focusing on a few and working hard at them is best. Adding more little by little helps me to put my all into every change, as change takes time and an extreme amount of persistence.
Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Thank you for following my blog! Keep up the great introspective work. We need more introspection in this world, instead of just what others can do for us.
Peace.
What a wonderful and generous spirit yours is! Your desire to do such good and to support others as well is much appreciated. Thank you for following my blog. I’ll definitely keep in touch with yours!
Thanks for following my blog. You’re blog is really great. Very inspirational.
Thank you for following Generational Womanhood! Your blog is fascinating!

Thanks for following. Your blog is great. Love the theme. It fits with mine! Best

Thanks for the follow! I will definitely be doing the same with yours. I love the whole concept behind this blog!
Follow me and I’ll follow you… Thanks for finding my blog. Although through the art of travel, I too am in search of that wonderful woman who resides within and is just waiting to show herself and all that she can do to this world.
Love the idea and your writing style… Looking forward to hearing more from your journey.

I am honored that you added me to the list that you follow-thank you! You are an inspiration.
Humbled by this blog. Thanks for inspiring!
I love this. You sound like a good man already, but i guess gaining wisdom along the way and dishing it out to others concretes the learnings of life. Thanks for the follow.
A humble thank you for following my Through the Shadows blog, which is nowhere near as prolific as your writing.
You are incredibly inspirational and motivational, and I wish you all the best in your quest. Personally, I think you are already a better man than most.
I like your Bucket List items that include beachbody.com and their workouts. I’ve done Turbo Jam, Chalean Extreme, and am now attempting Turbo Fire. I think the lack of eating healthy has thwarted my efforts though. Perhaps that should be #1 on my 2012 list.
Thank you so much for following my blog. Your project sounds fantastic!
It’s a great post – a means for self awareness. May be each of us should take a moment to become more aware of where we have been in order to realize where it is we are going.
I also wish to thank you for your follow of my blog. Seems we are on the same page. That’s a good thing. smiling.
You’re trying to be a better man, I’m trying to be a better woman. Together, we shall conquer the world! hahaha
Better Men are Made. Consciously.
What a fantastic leap of your life ! Enjoy. No ends of it.
Thanks for following my blog, ConfettiStyle! You have a great blog and I am looking forward to following you on your journey to be the best you can be.
Great blog! Without a doubt we all need to be better men, for our wives, children, churches, friends, and ourselves. You mention the difference between wisdom and knowledge in one of your posts. Basically, knowledge is only information if nothing is done with that knowledge, but the right knowledge with the right application made to our lives is not only wise but transformational.
Keep up the great work, and thanks for the follow!

Hello Evan,
Thank you for following my blog “Roots to the Past”.
To be honest, I do believe the world needs better men, and I applaud you for admitting that. I know very few good men and even then, I wonder what they’re like in the privacy of their own home.
And as an added bonus, when men get better, so will women. It’s like a lead and I will follow. It doesn’t matter who starts the downhill spiral, the other micmics the behaviour. It is why women are now just as susceptable to heart attacks as men because we copy their eating habits. And men are more feminine (come on guys, stop highlighting your hair) because they believe it’s all about looks because women think it is.
Thank you. I wish you the best of luck.
Thanks for following our blog. What a great bucket list you have for 2012. All the best. We look forward to following your posts.
hey there! that’s a realyyy wonderful work you are doing here and indeed the world needs better people!
keep it up and thanks for becoming my 12th follower
kudos!

Hello there. I have just had a little glance at your blog and it looks packed with beautifulness! I look forward to taking some time and reading in more detail. Wonderful crisp inspiration.
Great concept! I appreciate you stopping by my blog! I’ll continue to check in on you! Great 2012!
Via personal experience, the world needs better women too. Either way, good luck on your effort.
What a wonderful blog. I can always use a little (or a lot of) inspiration.
Hey man, I just read your about. You know you can import your tumblr posts onto your wordpress blog? Just a thought. Awesome idea for a blog by the way!
Really?! How do I do this? I have about 100 posts I really want to put on here from the year before. Let me know big guy!
