How to Improve Your Masculinity

How to Improve Your Masculinity

Traits traditionally viewed as masculine in society include strength, courage, independence, leadership, violence, and assertiveness.Why do I as a female have the right to talk about masculinity?

I Walk the Walk

I have the right to talk about masculinity because mens testosterone levels are so low and between my cage fighting, love of guns, hunting, fishing and outdoor survivor skills, ex... I'm sadly more masculine then most men are today. It's sad but true and that is why I have the right. If a man could walk in high heels and put on make-up better then I could, he has every right to tell me how to be more feminine because he is doing it better then me

Machismo is a form of masculinity that emphasizes power and is often associated with a disregard for consequences and responsibility. I have seen guys on GAG asking, " how do I become more masculine?" Well, here are a few things that may help you to become a more masculine individual.

What can I do to become more masculine?

1. Don't Be Scared

‘Nice guys’ have a challenging time facing tension… whether that shows itself as a reluctance to approach a woman they find attractive, having a lengthy conversation with a role model, authority figure, meeting a celebrity, keeping a straight face without smiling and taking themselves seriously, even fear of physical altercations. Be bold, have courage, and take some risk you're a man remember.

2. Hang Out with Other Guys

Whether it’s a weekly sports team, men’s group, poker night, book club, or anything else that appeals to you, regularly spending exclusively in the company of men will charge you up in ways that you can’t imagine. Spend dedicated time with just men. Make this a regular practice. Ideally at least once per week.

3. Start Doing More Manly Hobbies

Start a Gun or Knife collection, Take Martial Arts or Boxing, Go Spear Fish, Hunt, Car Racing, Offroading, Hiking, Fencing, Camping, Surfing, Snowboarding, Bouldering, Woodworking, Making Model Planes or Cars, Playing Cards, Learn Outdoor Survival Skills, Drive a Motor Cycle, Go Fishing, Cut down a Tree. I could literally name a hundred masculine hobbies for men to do.

4. Get In Shape

Like the ideal fit feminine body, the ideal fit masculine body featured in the Men’s Health is quite unrealistic but, worth trying anyway. By being in better physical shape you will be more confident which is key in getting your masculinity higher. Having more muscles means society in general may even view you as more masculine and women WILL view you as more attractive.

5. Cultivate Direction

It is archetypically masculine to see a potential romantic interest and go directly towards them with an energy of, (I am aware of what else is out there… and I choose YOU). It is also masculine to find a career that aligns with your values, abilities, and passion, and say, “I am going to give this mission everything that I have. I will contribute to the world with all of my might, and I will make the world a better place for having done it.”

To be continued.....

Thanks for reading everyone, Bitch away unsure/not confident guys you always do. But remember that.....

I appreciate the irony of women expressing to men their perspective of maculinity whilst 'modern' men flap on about how being effeminate is the new and correct form of true masculinity and then visa versa effemiinite men telling women how to be feminine along with girl power sorts of hals defining what what true femininity is. Neither side is getting the memos. However, women telling men what men should be (such as this post) and men telling women what women shoukd be more than glanced over because it is like taking an open book test and still manging to fail the test.

What I find disturbing more and more is that women are becoming more relateable because they have become less pussies than my own damn sissified gender prancing aroundd walking like a duck in god damn skinny jeans whilst sporting their perfectly manacured eyebrows and queareds (queer-beard) and talking with their gay Frisco accent. I cannot related nor abide by that.

You left out a few other masculine traits but ever women does. Listen to James Mattis speak on manhood and leadership. You will figure out what was left out. Unfortunately a number of masculine qualities have fallen to the waist side by false bravado and purely from a lack of a father figure to cultivate that young boy into a man. Then again, that lack also is shown lacking for women too as the most well rounded and lacking in any social anxiety women 'and' men have almost exclusively come from a stable household with both parents present under the same roof.

[FeministDestroyer]

awwww you think you're more manly than most men. thats cute sweetie

[WowwGirl]

Sad but true

[Unit1]

OK, I'll approach this with an open mind.

I don't know who or what you base your perception of "guys, who are not masculine" on but I'll speak for myself when I say, that I'm a young man and I do feel like one and that's all I need in order to feel like a man.

But if you ask me, I don't believe in masculinity or femininity. Sure, there are things, that could be "womanly" or "manly" (as contradicting as it may sound) but these items aren't many and don't necessarily define someone's feeling of what gender they are or whatever you can call it.

1. That's literally impossible. Fear is an emotion and everyone has it - even men, who are humans. Sometimes there's a period of having no fear but ultimately fear prevails at some points. Fear is part of our primal survival instincts and is what keeps natural selection in check. I consider fear handling to be more like it.
I'm no fan of conflicts. I don't consider risk-taking to be gender specific. I don't know what kind of idea you have there, that you think is beneficial for men... if anything it repulses me so far.

2. That goes without saying. However my case is a serious deficiency in women and at this point I need more exposure to women. I have my guy pals already but barely any women.

3. But who decides which hobbies are manly or womanly or gender neutral? I have a friend, who has dancing as a hobby, which is predominantly women's hobby. Does that make him not manly? He has a great advantage in this one as he can meet countless women and land a date or girlfriend really easy because of it (although he is average looking at best). Dancing is not my thing at all but I would not decline when a woman invites me to it.

4. Lately I have been thinking about this just for the sake of not getting fat and just doing the physical activities for the health of it (since I have a Desk-job and spend most of the time sitting and staring at screens). It could be a plus for sure. However body building is not for everyone as it is almost like a second part time job.
Lately I have been trampoline jumping in the past 3 saturdays. It is fun and it is an athletic type of work out, so I won't get any more muscles out from it BUT it puts the stamina at test AND I ENJOY IT.

5. This literally applies for both genders. I don't see any association here how it makes one more manly (or it does but then it also makes women more womanly also).

---

Now how would women feel when men start telling women how to be more womanly? And I don't mean any of that "big titz", "big booti", "chained to the stove" or anything of that shallow B-S.

[LordSniffles]

Lot of good points

[Unit1]

@LordSniffles i thank you!

[hellionthesagereborn]

No. This is just awful. First and foremost if your more masculine then other men (and I do agree men have lost their way and are less masculine then ever before) then you are the problem. You want masculine men, that requires feminine women. See the problem is women have stopped being women, they demand that men move out of the way for them so they can be masculine and men, well we are wired to protect women not fight them so that puts us in a predicament because we cannot fight a woman like we can a man but at the same time women want to compete against us. This leads to men becoming more toned down in order to function with women around. Then women have demanded that men stop being men. I mean you can claim otherwise all you like, but its women who said men have to stop being direct with them, its women who have said that men are dangerous and have to stop being dangerous and masculine. Its women who punish boys for acting like boys and try and force them to act more feminine. So while I agree that their are things that men can do to be more masculine (working out has nothing to do with it and overcompensation isn't going to fix the problem), the real issue is women refusing to allow men to be masculine. Since women control reproduction i. e. sex, men will act in the way that gets them that so if men are less masculine guess what? Its your fault because your the one who sets the rules (and your the one who exploits male protective instincts to turn men into the bad guys and to demand they become more submissive to protect you, which they did. Now you (as a woman) have demanded that men stop doing the very thing you've been telling them to do). You want men to be masculine great, be feminine. I mean honestly what value do you have? Cage fighting? I've never did cage fighting but guess what? I'd still be able to kill you with my bare hands and their would be little you could do about it (don't get me wrong, you would probably do some damage but it wouldn't be nearly enough). So what good is that to me? I don't need a woman to protect me, even at your best your still less then I am in this regard. You have survival skills great. What does that do for me? I've had military survival training, spent my child hood camping out in the middle of nowhere regardless of season (have had to hike several miles through snow after falling into a pond in the dead of winter and getting the early stages of hypothermia while doing so, and this was when I was fourteen. would you be able to do that as a grown woman? Chances are probably not), so what good is that skill to me? Your not going to be able to tough things out like I can because you are biologically weaker then me, less robust (and to be fair with how hard my early life was I've got way more experience then you in this respect more then likely) etc. So what good are you? As a man and when it comes to masculine characteristics, your going to be second rate. No matter how hard you train, no matter how tough you are, no matter your skills you will always be a defective man. This is the same for men who try to act feminine, they will never be anything more then a defective second rate woman. So what do you do? Stop acting masculine, stop trying to compete with men (you can't. Hell when Tamika Brents had her skull fractured by a transgender opponent should be proof enough of this. A transgender male to female is weaker then a full blooded male and even then was able to fracture his female opponents skull within two minutes. In her own words, "I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because she was born a man or not because I’m not a doctor. I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right…". In short you want more masculine men, be more feminine.)

[kingsitri]

I can't believe how to the point you are. Women are confused as to what they want and when men become what they have been telling them to become, they don't want them anymore

[hellionthesagereborn]

@kingsitri Yep. Now don't get me wrong, I value masculinity its what created society and maintains society. But her view of masculinity is stunted, which should be no surprise coming from some one who will never understand masculinity. Combat sports for instance, while that can be viewed as masculine, she doesn't understand WHY its masculine. Men are built to protect, this is an expression of that. But we are also wired to build and create, to take risks and explore etc. A father is as masculine as a soldier is, its just a different expression of the same thing, protecting and building something for the future. Her view is so narrow though because she doesn't understand the underlying mechanisms of men and because quite frankly, she refuses to admit her and/or women's part in this breakdown i. e. we are wired to protect women and women decided that the best way we could do that is by becoming less masculine. They claimed our masculinity was the thing that was putting them in danger and men, in their drive to protect women did not hesitate to try and destroy masculinity. This, in my opinion, just goes to show you that you cannot listen to women, they don't understand men or the important role we play in society so we need to find a balance of fulfilling that masculine obligation while also making sure that women don't take control (because quite frankly they don't know how to drive society and will only cause it to crash and burn).

[TheKack]

I love you! Lol

I agree. The pussification of men is out of hand. I played hockey as a kid. Workes construction. Got in fights. Drove like an idiot. And did all those stupid masculine things. I was very confident. I had a lot of fun doing it. And then ten years later, I've seen women take over a lot of those things. Men have become spectators to those traditionally masculine activities. I love that women are becoming more interested in them, but men need to stay involved in those things.

A big thing you missed in this, is men need to take care of their families (and that includes girlfriends, as they should be seen as family in order to build the proper connections). This can be the man being the bread winner, or simply that they do the labor needed to make sure their families are cared for.

Also, the way society views relationships has damaged the desire for men to be gentlemen and care deeply. Women and men both see SO's as disposable. They sleep around and waste their youth, end up alone at 35, and panic. That's how societies die. The 2.1 children per person that's needed to maintain population is very difficult if the societal standards for relationships stays this way. If you wait that long, it's much harder to raise more than one or two children.

Thanks for the read. I enjoyed it and agree for the most part.

[Wowgirl30q]

I love you😅🙂 thank you sir

[Wowgirl30q]

It was a summary also basic outline you could say. I wanted to say " stop crying in public and wearing pink"

[Wowgirl30q]

And crossing your legs like there's nothing there😂

[TheKack]

Lol I agree with everything but the pink. I'm partially colorblind and hot pink is one of my favorite colors because I can see it clearly.

[Wowgirl30q]

That makes sense ❤️

[GFNimbuscloud]

That backhand you give us (unsure/not-confident guys) is a weak-ass insult.

None of the traits you describe are masculine to me. In fact, no traits are masculine, perhaps with the exception of having a penis, a deeper voice, etc. Telling guys how to "act more like guys" means absolutely nothing, because guys act in a variety of different ways. I like cooking, and baking, and taking care of the kids in my family. I don't think that makes me feminine. And if it does, so be it, you can keep calling me that like it's a bad thing, and I won't give you any of my fresh bread.

If some vapid cunt isn't into me because I'm not masculine enough, I don't the the solution is to try and be more masculine, I think it's to actually find someone who like me for me. And if you're saying there's no one like that out there... one your wrong, and two... jesus fucking christ, that's way worse than your parting shot there. You should've ended with that. "No one could ever love you as you are now, pussy."

I mean damn though, you attribute confidence as a masculine trait. The implications of that are tragic to me, but setting that aside, I think the most "masculine" thing I could do by your definition would be to totally ignore your advice and have the confidence to keep being me. And I think I will, so I'm macho as fuck now! Awwww yeeeeah! Thanks!

[Wowgirl30q]

You ramble like a chick

[GFNimbuscloud]

If I rambled like a chick there'd be way more vapid bullshit, and I'd talk about a lot more things I don't know dick about like I'm an expert. No, that's the entitled rambling of a man who is used to having minorities and the filthy poor stop what they're doing to hang on his every word. /s

[asd_nasa]

I think the biggest reason why you say that you see a lot of immaculate men is that the idea of “feminine men” is being shoved into the media. The idea that men can act however they want and that acting feminine doesn’t make them less masculine is very prominent in society today.

Unfortunately people are starting to adopt this idea, as they’re too afraid to speak against such for fear of controversy and pandering from feminists and LGBTQ enthusiasts.

I agree men need to step up their masculinity, but you can’t force a guy to like certain activities if he wants to be masculine. Being masculine means having a high level of testosterone and having a lot of masculine traits. If a guy were to do the all the things you talked about in this bit of advice, he’d pretty much turn into what us (I don’t know what generation I’m in) call a chad. Jocks, or chads are shallow sons of bitches, with usually average to maybe only slightly above average intelligence. They’re not that bright, wise, compassionate, or intellectual. You simply can’t go about your life doing a set of activities and expect to have a completely different personality. What you think defines what you do, and what you do defines who you are. A full time jazz musician isn’t going to have the personality of a jock, he’s not going to be cocky, super fit, or super macho. Just like a full time football player isn’t going to have the personality of a theoretical physicist.

I’ll use myself as an example: I’m an Eagle Scout, I love the outdoors, hiking and just nature over all. I love rock climbing, fighting (when it’s a fair fight), and a few more what might be considered “macho” interests. But I don’t love killing (I hate hunting, violence, cruelty, etc), I don’t love sports because I find it stupid and boring, and I don’t love weight lifting, because I’d much rather go bouldering and or swimming then spend my time lifting weights.

[oddwaffle]

I don't really agree with some points.

To me, you are a guy as long as you can take care of yourself. You are a man when you can take care of yourself and your family.

You can be a macho hang leader with master hunting skills but if you fail to provide for your family and take care of yourself then you are just a kid without his mommy.

#1 Courage is not about having no fear. Courage is born the moment you decide not to run anymore. There are guys who peed their pants on the 1st day in a war. However, they still stick to their brothers no matter how terrified they were. That is courage.

#2 Hanging out with other guys don't really make it manly. I know a guy who doesn't really talk or hang out with anyone. He runs a bar. He is a bartender. He would grunt, utter one or 2 words, clean the glasses and take people keys. He is a guy dedicated to his job and that's enough.

#3 There is no manly hobbies. Rather there are skills. A man have to have some skills. Survival skills or skills that make stuff on your own are the best. Smithing, woodworking.. etc.

#4 Getting in shape isn't important. If you work on your skills then you will get in shape.

#5 Again, not really important.

[FatherJack]

I agree with pretty much everything , male 40 somethings seem to be the last of the " old School " generations , but the deliberate toxic social engineering , that led to the rise of the effete " soy boy " and the masculine ( and often man hating ) " wimmin " started in the 1980's , but really accelerated at the start of the new millennium. To be fair , boys in the West are bombarded with messages that they are worthless , expendable and masculine behaviour and esp male sexuality ( ALL MEN ARE RAPISTS !! ) are disgusting , and borderline criminal behaviours. On the flip side , girls are also subtly influenced to look down on boys / men , my own daughter has even stated this... and says it's BS !!

Good choice of hobbies , combat sports especially , except here in the UK , civilians are totally banned from owning any firearm. No hunting animals , unless it's really necessary , shoot up some non living targets instead... full auto fire is fun !! . A lack of male role models is often another factor , my first real male role models were my corporals in British Army basic training , back in 1989 , you also got hit if you fucked up !!

[prasanp]

Do you think I should consider you as masculinity because you love gun or do cage fighting or hunting or fishing? Then sadly you are mistaken, and I called it barbarism. Though people sadly mistaken barbarism with masculinity. Maybe its a cultural difference.
Here the thing how we perceived one as masculinity. We consider man becomes more manly either when they have knowledge, expertise or be more rational ( Not talking about any martial art stuff mastery here) along with strength ( Not necessary to have physical strength) , strength to fight any adversities ; I guess you know much wrong and tough situation can be sometime physically and sometimes emotionally and mentally like loosing some one dear to one or worst you can imagine; In that case, man who we called manly will still be able to exhibit his strength and will overcome oneself; and they are many more stupid thing but one need to stay clam and peace and fight even in a worst situation.
what was I trying to say is if you say you into cage fighting or loves gun or hunting, we perceived you as a violent person than masculinity.

[Wowgirl30q]

I don't read long catty rants sorry to dramatic and bitchy for me personally.

[prasanp]

just don't read it.

[Wowgirl30q]

I won't no worries I'm sure it's full of fingure pointing and name calling like the rest👌

[prasanp]

oh you must be very intelligent to figure out wihout reading ; may be even mind reader ; just clam dowm and relax.

[oneleggedwonder]

Great write up. I watch sports, engage in dangerous activities ( I ride a motorcycle and I have one leg), I have been skydiving (you gotta try this), hunting, outdoor survival and other things considered masculine. To date, I have broken over 20 bones, 8 at one time, has dozens of stitches and still tend to lean towards dangerous activities. That said, I love to cook, I grow a garden, and I have some emotional conversations with females from time to time. They call this "being in touch with your feminine side" but to me, its just what I like to do...

[Wowgirl30q]

That's awesome but becareful please

[oneleggedwonder]

I promise, I will be careful!

[Wowgirl30q]

Thank you

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

I agree with everything you said, with one exception: owning guns doesn't make you more masculine. Any simp can walk down to a gun store and proclaim himself a Real Man (tm). Doesn't make it so. They give the illusion of manliness to some dudes who otherwise wouldn't even register.

Also, you probably wrote this Take in response to the zillions of questions here on GAG about masculinity, but generally I think worrying about how manly some other dude is... well it's pretty bitchy. If I need to make that more clear: worrying about how other people live their lives, or what they think about you, is something a woman would do. Constantly trying to make others think you're a Real Man (tm) is a waste of time that could better be spent actually achieving something worthwhile.

[fjh80]

I’m not reading ALL of that.
I’ll just say, if you want to talk about masculinity, go to town.
Knock yourself out.

Based what I did read, there’s more to being a man than those things.

Based on someone else’s reply, if you’re suggesting you’re more “manly”, then you have it wrong.

I don’t have need for guns. I don’t kill animals.
I’m capable of defending myself, but I’m not a fighter.
I’m accountable for my actions, and I’m reasonable.
I’m a hard worker, and I take care of those that i love. I put them ahead of myself.
I love women, and none of this is meant to be knock on you, or women.
Although, twisting my words to believe something like that is a trait more characteristic of women.

That said, there’s no reason that you can’t talk about masculinity.
I have no problems talking about femininity, and I’m not feminine.

[AndrewMG]

I play lots of sports, travelled the world watching boxing and have lots of male friends. One thing I massively disagree with though is suggesting guns and knifes have anything at all to do with masculinity. I'm a laid back guy and my last fight was on a football field when I was 13 after being hacked down whilst through on goal lol but anyone bringing a knife or a gun to a fist fight is absolute scum! Being into guns and knifes in this day and age whilst thousands of children are becoming victims is absolute toxic behaviour. Guns and Knifes have fuck all to do with masculinity... a real man in a physical contest uses his fist not an AK47... and anyone that disagrees does not have the first idea what being a man is all about.

[Wowgirl30q]

Different areas to remember 90% of homes have guns where I live

[AndrewMG]

@Wowgirl30q I know mate and it wasn't a dig at you at all, but I genuinely cannot see a connection between masculinity and being armed. I speak as someone who was broken into whilst I was in my flat, I wasn't armed and would of hated to have fatally harmed anyone if I was, but I feel I dealt with the situation in a more masculine way than someone who shoots at some random drugged up guy looking for their next hit. I understand we live in different countries and have different experiences -and I agree with the other 99% of your post-I just have a problem with glorifying weapons. No hard feelings ! x

[Wowgirl30q]

I know dear it's those idiots that think having a gun makes you a man. No it makes you a gun owner

[AndrewMG]

Exactly, if you live in a country that predominantly most people have guns, then by all means have a gun and learn to use it, but by having gun doesn't make a person more of a man, in some instances it can make them less of one.

[Wowgirl30q]

Agree those are also the scared ones that end up shooting someone from fear

[AndrewMG]

Exactly, Self control in my eyes is the key to Masculinity, but its your take (and a great one as well), so sorry for temporarily hijacking it! Nothing wrong with an exchange of opinions with one on my favourite people on here! lol

[Wowgirl30q]

Self control but still having a backbone I'd agree

[ImagineSketchy]

I'm unsure how any of this makes you more masculine. I'm pretty sure it doesn't though.
Fear and anxiety are natural.
Not everyone enjoys being around others, and hanging out with other guys specifically doesn't do anything for you, believe it or not. You can have all female friends and still feel pretty masculine.
There are plenty of females I know that have any of the hobbies you listed and they aren't sexually exclusive.
If exercising and getting in shape was masculine, then femininity is pretty nonexistent at this point.
I don't really have a reason to bother with someone else's life and solo focus is more important. One can't know what they should do all the time. We all do have regrets at some point as well. It's only natural because we can't see the future.

[irishpete]

Why should a man be more masculine? Why can't people just accept who they are and stop trying to live up to other peoples expectations... while I understand your advice is for the guys who ask how to be more masculine , I think you're completely wrong... just because you enjoy what's conceived as manly traits, you're basically a Tom boy... emphasis on the boy... being a man is about being strong, emotionally and physically... and if someone wants to be more manly, my advice would be to look at someone who they think is an alpha male and adopt some of their traits... what you have listed is hobbies for a teenager and I'm not having a go at you or anything but isn't it a bit ironic for a man to take advice from a women on how to be more manly 😆😆😆

[Levin]

Some good points. However, I presume this guy is on steroids. Hardly a realistic outlook!

[Wowgirl30q]

I have no idea just googled it

[Skadoosher]

As a man who has literally been yelled at for being too damn manly, I can testify to the biggest reason women think someone is masculine (from a man's perspective). Most men notice the hottest girls/women in the room. Well so do I and I just don't give a shit either. They don't make me nervous or make me act weird. On the contrary, I feel like they are all up on my jock and I act as if they are annoyingly basic. Because they are. Once you realize the hotter the woman the more fucked up the mind, you start to not give a shit about that. And once you have this specific flavor added to your personality in a natural way and non aggressively, your now manly. A manly man seemed to not even notice that gorgeous woman that walked by. At least the woman thought he didn't. Then bam! she turns around and your handing her a drink. Now she's yours.

[Janncis]

Nice take, but you could not be futher from truth. But you got one thing right, bragging about what you do and how it makes you special. Masculinity isn't realy about things you do as hobbies, but more of what you do what are not. Like saving someone, or protecting something.
No amount of guns, hunting troffies or beated up people will make you masculine. Forget about it. Its hard to explain what masculinity is, but shure it isn't bragging about yourself, it isn't talking about topic you barely have knowlage about.

[lightbulb27]

True, those are traditional masculine traits. Is this masculine?

Note: It's masculine for you to just go to Fox news...:)
There's also this... https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=U15GjrHRLxo

[ThatDude29]

I really loved your mytake. As a guy that grew up in a rural area, i was always around older generations of guys who built my character and kinda free to express my masculine side. I felt a little sad coming to the city and seeing how so many guys were struggling with their masculinity. I must say thank you for writing this as it was beautiful to read. I just have a question. What in your opinion do you feel has caused this decrease in masculinity over the generations? and also can you say a little about why more women than ever crave that masculinity even though there are so many guys out there

thanks :)

[SixFootSexy]

Being a man is about cutting your own path in the world, finding your own adventure and tackling it head on. Maybe to start, that's telling a woman who wants guys to "man up" to go f**k herself. =)

Feminists ruined it for you ladies who like manly men.

[Wowgirl30q]

Respectable truly

[SixFootSexy]

It wouldn't be such a war on women, but women pretending they don't need a man, then turning around to tell us to behave a certain way and/or fix their problems is peak feminist entitlement.

[Wowgirl30q]

Sure

[Wowgirl30q]

I need a man he needs me. I don't see the issues?

[SixFootSexy]

You said yourself: "I'm sadly more masculine then most men are today."

What you want is what you are, you want a masculine man and you've acquired masculine energy and put it on like a coat. Instead of embodying a feminine energy which is what a straight man wants, a woman who possesses beautiful, feminine qualities he lacks. Not a mediocre female version of himself, berating him because he's not Man Enough. No thanks.
