What can I do to be more masculine?

[Anonymous]

and not in the cringy "alpha male" andrew tate kind of way. What realistic things can I actually do that will make me seem more manly to women?

[Lliam]

Get fit, build muscle. Grow some facial hair in a style that's flattering to your features and makes you look rugged. Some stubble, a mustache, a soul patch, a flattering beard style, whatever.
Wear manly clothes that suit your persona.
Look at various masculine male characters in movies for ideas about facial hair, clothes and attitude.

Work on a confident attitude. Look at and talk to woman like you are interested but not desperate.

Don't be chicken. Don't overthink or second guess. Just talk to them like they are people. If they are responsive, ask them out. You'll be surprised by how many women will respond.

Focus on work. Not all women are looking for guys with lots of money, they we do want guys who are motivated, have skills, can provide for themselves, and have potential.

Engage in energetic outdoor activities - jogging,, riding a bike, hiking, playing frizbee, basketball or sports with friends. Women like guys who are active. They like seeing the male form straining and in motion.

Get over the idea that all women are looking for the same things. Keep in mind that you only have to be appealing to one woman, not all of them. And a good woman will be attracted to a man who is kind, loyal and treats her with respect.

Whatever you do, don't be fake. And don't act like a creep.

If some chick isn't interested, don't worry about it. She's not for you. Move on to another.

who are you doing it for? Andrew Tate isn’t necessarily cringey, is a psychopath, grifter, and a Sex Offender. He’s an evil amoral liar. How he acts does get women, and of course his cash, but broke amoral and violent psychopaths do get their pick of women.

If you’re doing it for women, they will be able to tell. On top of that you probably have a weak, chin, skinny arms, and no muscle. There’s no fixing that aside from going to the gym manning up, changing your outlook on life to a more masculine one, get in the gym and give it your all every day.

We aren't a monolith that all want the same kind of manly men. If you want to run down the stereotypical ideas of gender roles then fine, but honestly if you were asking me what makes a good man, it's someone who will treat me right and as an equal partner. Someone who is a good father prospect. Someone who works hard either at a job or at the house if he doesn't have a job.

Just be a stable human being with compassion and you'll be just fine.

Start listening to what women want. Men will tell you things to sabotage you especially all the Andrew tate/redpill shit. It's designed to keep men separated from reality. I've noticed this one but anytime a woman says she likes when men cry and show emotions that it comes off strong/masculine then men will run in trying to tear down that idea. Toxic masculinity type stuff is not masculine

Stop giving a shit what people think about your masculinity. Largely because most of them don't think about your masculinity. The people that are concerned are concerned about their own. Tucker Carlson, bow tie wearing, trust fund baby that he is, went so far as to make a documentary about masculinity. What was his conclusion? You should suntan your balls.

I am glad you find that "alpha male andrew tate" shit cringey. It is. It's actually way worse than that. The point is, I understand what you're not looking for.

That problem is: You're still letting that "alpha male andrew tate" shit... permiate into your thinking.

[SteveSmith1985]

I hit send accidentally.

What I mean is: The whole premise, that you need to (or ought to) try to appear more masculine to women... IS that "alpha male" cringe thinking.

This was not something a guy would ever say before all this manosphere bullshit started being mainstreamed. (the whole time you've been liking girls, that bullshit has been around).

The problem is: You can't (or rather, you shouldn't) fake masculinity. You can't/shouldn't ever do anything simply because you hope it will make you seem more masculine. That is what all that alpha male shit is all about. You see how performative, toxic and cringe it is.

If you're an agressive guy who tends to get into fights. You can't fake that. You can go to the gym, and practice mean-mugging in the mirror.,.. and try and LOOK like a guy you aren't. You're still the same person underneath the muscles. You're still going to be the type inclined to avoid a fight (not a bad attribute in most cases). You're still not going to be the tough guy you're pretending to be. You're a fraud doing something like that. You might be able to trick a girl long enough to get laid,. but... you are who you are. Regardless of how well that matches with anyone's conception of masculinity.

You are the person you are. You have the likes and dislikes that you happen to have. You are the way you are now, because that's the real you.

Faking it, is just not something that a person can do, while remaining their authentic selves. You become a fraud. A fake. A poser. And people will and do see through that fairly quickly (most people do).

My advice is to not make any attempt to change anything to be more masculine. That is a false premise. It's based on you having absorbed more of that "alpha male andrew tate" shit than you realize. That's why you feel the need to do this at all!

I hope you rethink this entire project. I think it will do you more harm than good.

learn how to fix things, drink beer or scotch on the rocks with a cigar after work, get jacked, tatted up and learn a martial art. Oh and make sure you bottle your emotions and never spill the tea on how stressful life is, as in don't seek therapy. That last tip is extremely important.

Being masculine isn’t just about appearing masculine. It’s about how you carry yourself. How you conduct yourself. When it comes to what men think being masculine is, it may vary. I’d say align yourself w men you see who you think fit that definition of what you think masculine is. Learn things from various men that you look up to that you’d like to incorporate into yourself as a man.

[LiamJHayden]

eat right, work out, read the classics, keep learning new things, and don't care what people who are not contributing positively to your life think.

Go to the gym. Grow muscle. You’ll produce more testosterone you’ll feel and look more manly. You’ll be more confident and women pick up in that.

[Nikki1989]

Don't listen to other men on here would be a good start. (see below).

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I'm confused, if you're not into the alpha male thing, then why are you unsatisfied with your own masculinity?

[Hellraiser1984]

Get rich quick. Money is pretty much all they want and care about. Women will date anyone with cash even an 800 lb man who has to be cut out of their house as long as they have money. Women are parasites.

This is complicated because I don’t try to project a masculine perspective. I am just who I am and I would hope that my behavior and my values should just lined up

[WhiteThought]

Andrew Tate is honestly a good example of what you should aim for.

[Godihateyou]

Stand on business. Not give a fuck about woman. Thats it. That's all it is. Maybe like sports and killing things.
