What does it mean to say someone is "a Man in Full?" Is that a compliment?

I guess it depends on whether the subject in question is a man or a woman.

It would be a compliment just so you know. A Man in Fukk in a very
Proud and Successfu man from my research. There is also a Book by Tom
Wolfe Called A Man in Full. Which is about a man who is a football
player and his struggles and how it make him a man in full. I would
say it definately a compliment. To back up what I say is a compliment
you can look at the following article at
http://www.whitman.edu/magazine/march2000/teachers.html go to the
article that is on Paul Jackson by By Frank Morrall, '59.

Its says,"I knew Paul Jackson as a student in the late l950s. Three
years later I returned to Whitman for two years as an instructor in
English. Through all those years Paul was a warm, inspiring, humorous,
and thoughtful model and mentor. To use Tom Wolfe's recent book title,
he was "a man in full."

I hope this helps you.
