4. Pride is what will make a man pursue that right woman and not consider her above his league because he is proud of the man he is and confident that she needs a man like him.

5. Pride is what will make a man ensure that any date he takes that lady to will not be boring because his image in her eyes is at stake.

6. Pride is what will make a man value his penis enough that he cannot cheaply give it out. A proud man values his penis and will not be casual with sex.
