Someone who seeks to become the best man he can become (skills, emotional intelligence, communication, critical thinking, etc.) while seeking to bring safety, contentment, or even joy to those within his circle of influence (including himself) at any reasonable cost.
Fitting the arbitrary criteria that the one judging has set. To me that means there is no universal “good”, because there is no universal rule set humanity follows when it comes to “good” or “bad”, even the most pathologic things are deemed acceptable in some groups view. And the world is a vast place to host many views…
Being a provider. If you can’t provide a set amount, all the other qualities dont matter.
Or if you are a good provider, some qualities can be overlooked, or you can get away with it.
Doors previously closed will be open for you.

Well, you see, when two people really love each other…
Kindness, empathy, and self awareness. Being a ‘good man’s really isn’t a thing, it’s more just being a good person in general.
Looked at your history, sorry op. I hope this can guide you at least a little.
Draw a circle around yourself. Eliminate dangers and problems.
Expand the circle to include your family. Help with their problems as well.
Expand the circle again to include your neighbors and community.

Be the person, that your kids wanna look up to
Honest without being cruel
Strong sense of integrity
Willing to stand against injustice even if he’ll lose
Compassionate and understanding
Humble and actively tries to watch for and manage his own biases and prejudices
Able to admit he was wrong
Able to say I don’t know without being defensive
Can recognize that even if his feelings wouldn’t be hurt, it’s still perfectly reasonable other’s may be affected differently
Can take a breath, ask for time to process, and navigate big emotions
Curious not judgemental
Tolerant
Patient, respectful of boundaries, and accepts “no” the first time without needing justification
Wants to make others happy and not just himself
Wants to help others, generosity for the sake of others with no expectations of something in return
Wants to learn – about others, the world, but also about himself
A good man shows up, not just when it’s convenient but when it’s needed. Reliability is underrated but everything.
Everyone has added some fine points. Besides those, a 20′ dick.

But also you have to be stoic.

Humility. Wisdom. Courage.

Boundaries, emotional resilience, in charge of their life. Growth as per their enough.
