3 things I've found the society's view of "masculinity" very wrong!

[Stanley23]

There are so many fallacies according to society's view of men being "masculine." To me, the majority of girls have more masculine features than guys. It's about "guts", facing fears and want you want in life, not proving others you're the better man. That's ridiculous!

1. Physical Strength

The society is technically the "devil's playground". A century ago, guys my age have played with guns rather than barbells. You don't need to have muscles to prove yourself you're "masculine." I mean look at Adolf Hitler, he didn't have muscles and he had the power to turn most of Europe into his very own "playground." If you're a grease monkey, you're a man. Back then, guys would rather get "shot" than pumping some iron.

2. Machoism

This is the most ridiculous error according to "masculinity." The majority of guys my age are "macho." Meaning, they're too pussy to shed a tear. That's a big no-no and a disgrace to masculinity itself. Real men cry, only pussies hold em' in.

3. Taking care of your health

Like I've said in #1 back in 1900s, any guy, young or old, would rather face their fears than pumping iron. Back then, weight lifting wasn't a popular activity and fighting for your country was "masculine." I mean for those who are currently fighting for their countries, kudos for them. Facing your fears, whether if it's smoking or anything that is detrimental to your health, getting shot at or any type of activity that allows you to have "guts". Weight lifting, on the other hand, has benefits to your overall health; it improves your immune system, your cardiac health and raises your self esteem. It's exercise and was considered "effeminate" back then.

Do you believe this is true for what I've said. If so, why?

[HookingSwan]

I am so glad that you mentioned Nr. 2

I so agree with you

The most real and best kind of mena are the ones that know how to face and embrace their emotions. They know themselves and are not afraid of showing vulnerability. Yes, they dont confuse vulnerability with weakness. Those men have the real kind of strenght. And that makes them some of the kindest, most compassionate, and strong people there is.

I know all this because I am in love with one of those men. It is wonderful to live by his side everyday and be able to be his.

[HookingSwan]

His faith, hope and strenght are remarkable, even in face of adversity.

And he has faced a lot of adversity lately, but always manages to keep going.

Im proud of him.

[Stanley23]

That's really cool. I'm glad you've found "the one".

[HookingSwan]

Indeed I hope he is the one

Only time will tell

And thanks :)

[Stanley23]

No problem. 😊

[Josht11]

Exercise was considered effeminate really?
I don't agree with your 2nd point though only pussies cry, I'll give you an example there's this massive spacker in my school who cried in a fucking test because he didn't know what to do neither did I and I was shitting it but I didn't cry I mean what a fucking baby I almost laughed when he started, don't cry unless it's like a funeral.

[HookingSwan]

I think you know that is not the only circumstance where people can cry

Thats not what the MyTake owner was refering to, for sure.

You are just understanding it the way you want to understand it...

[Josht11]

@HookingSwan What circumstances do you cry under though? there are hardly any I haven't done it for 4 years and I wanna keep that streak, if people just cry it shows they can't control their emotions and for a guy that means your weak and a pussy just like the retard who cried in my test, god did he get bullied.

[HookingSwan]

when a man cries in front of his girlfriend, in a moment of intimacy, when he is remembering a painful experience he had in the past...

that kind of crying

[Josht11]

@HookingSwan If he was raped or something yeah but other than that legitimate pussy.

[HookingSwan]

:P

do u like the word pussy that much? XP

lolz

[Josht11]

@HookingSwan I like it more than lolz and it's a good word you don't wanna say coward or something like that just doesn't work as well.

[Stanley23]

Weight lifting, becoming "muscular" was effeminate back then. It wasn't a popular activity back then. Masculinity is shitty now compared to the early 1900s, I've wished we've never changed

[Stanley23]

Dumbass, there's a difference between crying during a test and crying during an emotional movie. Women love a bit of weakness in a man.

[Stanley23]

No one worked out back then, it was "fighting for your country", it was guts over proving yourself.

[Stanley23]

Men these days not initiating and hookup culture? We need traditional dating back in the society!

[Stanley23]

@HookingSwan I see a man inside a little boy's body crying to get out.

[HookingSwan]

Indeed take owner

[Josht11]

What? Cheers for analysing me when you don't know me, I have no problem expressing emotion I just never need to cry and crying to a movie I mean c'mon no way is that considered masculine.

[Stanley23]

@Josht11 It's considered "masculine" because you're showing "courage." You're not afraid to show your feelings.

[Josht11]

but it's not masculine to show feelings is it you get bullied if you cry because your seen as a feminine loser.

[Stanley23]

@Josht11 Buddy, you have a lot to learn. Just stick to school and get your diploma. Maybe once you've reached my age or older, then you'll know.

[Josht11]

LOL once I've reached your ripe old age of 19 it's not masculine to cry that's what women do all the time.

[Stanley23]

Buddy, I never follow my dad's advice. My dad's advice was "fuck girls and leave them." I'm like " that is ridiculous because that's not the proper way to become a man." I knew how what is like to be a real man after my first semester of college; you might seem that's ironic to you but I'm telling you the truth. I was carefully observing what other guys were doing to each other, to outsiders and to girls. So called "Aplha males" were telling their friends to level up with them and he thinks that's the proper way to become a man." He was muscular but his personality was a joke. I'm actually telling you the truth; he couldn't be treated seriously and he always runs away from outsiders. That's not how you become a man; if you want to be masculine, you have to confront your enemies and be courageous. It doesn't mean you have to take the first hit, but confront them. That's when I've lost my virginity, which was last year, first semester.

[Stanley23]

Taken seriously*

[HookingSwan]

I'm glad there are more good men out there, such as you @asker :)

The world desperately needs it

[HookingSwan]

Take Owner, I meant lol

[Mustachekitteh]

I agree with what you said and those things aren't what make men manly. Honestly there is no way to prove something is more manly to do than over anything else. Same with women, there isn't a sure fire thing to prove you are womanly. It's a dumb mentality and seems extremely tiring trying to build yourself around that kind of mold.

[Stanley23]

Exactly, I agree with you. I am fed up with the whole "levelling up" regime. I'd like what men did in the early 1900s though.

[Mustachekitteh]

Honestly the only thing that proves how manly a dude is. Would be due to the fact that he has a dick and balls. So since men have that, makes it seem pointless to prove how manly they are.

[ConsultantIsBack]

Being jacked and high testosterone feels pretty damn masculine tho op

[Stanley23]

Yeah but not "proving yourself", that results insecurity and insecurity is feminine.

[Stanley23]

You can work out but don't try to prove yourself that you're a better man than the guys who don't.

[Stanley23]

Just because you have a 6 pack, doesn't mean you're a man. Just because you've lost your virginity, it doesn't mean you're a man (I've lost mine and I didn't gain jack shit! I've found it fucking stupid tbh, I praise to the guys who have theirs, i wished I still have mine!). tbh I find this "proving you're a man" bullshit fucking useless!

[Stanley23]

The society is fucking stupid; I've talk to other guys about this and they told me that they're depressed because they want to find their "masculinity", they want to be men! But they can't, do to feminism!

[Stanley23]

Due*

[ConsultantIsBack]

ahhh i gotcha man, ya good points!
