Why do guys only leave me alone when I boasted I wanted to be in the Marines/navy seals?

[Anonymous]

a lot of dudes for whatever reasons have TRIED to get under my skin &/or try to look more "alpha"

This completely stops AFTER these dudes find out that I was in boot camp & that I lifted crazy weights & that I HAD aspirations to be a gun toting brute in either the Marines or navy seals

From then on most guys just left me alone

It sounds like they tired of your bullshit.

[Asker]

But wouldn't I be the "REAL" "Tough one" since I did attend boot camp & acted all the bodyweight exercises & mile times?

I have a very & I mean VERY monotone voice & facial expression... because I did want. to be in the seals doing the "dirty work"

[KrakenAttackin]

Your bullshit is already tiring me.

[Asker]

You're being a nuisance & dodging the question

I'm curious what most of YOU "MEN" consider "MANLY"

Because most fools who have TRIED provoking me never shot a gun, trained in any combat sport, or won in any full contact competition

So where does all that false bravado stem from?

[KrakenAttackin]

"Manly" is more about being true to yourself, being stoic, honorable, accountable, reliable, and committed to fellowship. "Manly" does not let others define what it means to the individual.

When I was in the Navy I met SEALS from time to time and they were friendly, focused, confident, mostly humble, and did not need the validation of others outside of their teams.

[Asker]

& yet many of the "MEN" I've met wanted. to target the "shy" & "introverted" guy ME UNTIL they learned. that I had SOME accolades in boot camp & weight lifting/body exercises & wanted to be a "RAMBO" type

I've never gotten along with men in my entire life & most likely never will

[KrakenAttackin]

Finding your own purpose and the resultant self confidence shows through a man. This IMHO is manly.

[Asker]

Doesn't change the fact that most modern "MEN" aren't about jack shit

No training
Can't shoot
Can't grapple
Can't even kick properly without stumbling

& Most probably will gas out running a sub six mile & there cardio probably sucks

Asker... age will eventually take all of those things from all men, than what are you left with? Physicality is great as a young man but it passes quickly. How much heart you have matters most. Strength of character does not fade with time.
