Guys, when you think of the perfect example of masculinity, who do you picture?

Question

I see a guy literally responded to your question by saying “the best of what femininity has to offer”. Which is exactly the opposite of what masculinity is, which is why they are categorized as separate terms for characteristics, traits, and lifestyles and historically reserved for one of the two sexes to embody or to be ascribed to.

A man a grew up with comes to mind. He is a hard worker, never cheated on his wife as far as anyone knows, well respected, always fit, has a beautiful wife that is never quarrelsome and who is feminine, has kids that he raised well, makes money, and is well respected by everyone in the community that matters.

A masculine man is stoic, doesn’t gossip at all, and doesn’t display signs of jealousy or fear. If he’s vulnerable around his wife, neither of them will tell you and you’d never guess.

Marcus Aurelius comes to mind, a philosopher and a King. The best traits of David and his som Solomon combined would also be a good example of peak masculinity. George Washington as well, he could’ve started a system of quasi czars and emperors but he set the example (though not followed very well) by relinquishing his political power as was outlined by the first continental congress and their agreement in the constitution.

A good man should reach and aspire to understand and live in the Benben

haha, a difficult question in the current state of things, where masculinity is being questioned...

The perfect example I would view is a balanced personality, someone who could access both worlds, the "best" of what "masculinity" and "feminity" can offer. In my eyes, it is anyone trying to achieve this level of androgyny, it is not about clothes, not about bodies, it's all about personality. Abstractly said, this is what I think.

Late but a really good question. Got to be Aragorn from Lord of the rings

in my opinion a model of true masculinity he emobides strength as leader who offers his strength and virility to protect those who are vulnerable and need help. Gentleness, he is kind and affectionate guiding others with paternal charity. Humility, aware of his strengths and weaknesses acknowledgin that victory cannot be achieved through strength alone, and he leads, coordinates everyone to work to a virtuous otcome that benefits all
