AskMen.com, the largest men's lifestyle website in the world, surveyed over 2,000 men and asked them: "Who do you consider your role model?" The survey results were broken down into four major categories:

• 8 percent of men said they look to actors or entertainers as their role model.
• 24 percent of men try to emulate athletes.
• 31 percent of men said "I'm my own role model."
• 35 percent of men looked to entrepreneurs as role models.

In other words, according to AskMen.com, many men either admire themselves or men who, like Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg, "break the mold." Or men described as those "who see the risks and take them anyway, achieving success on their own individual terms."
