Why can't a man be a badass without being a player, user or ghetto?

Question

A badass doesn't mean I want someone that will get into a fight with the other guy at the bar every single time bad words are thrown nor someone that sleeps around and uses woman nor someone that smokes and drinks like crazy.

One example that I can think of is Steve Irwin the former Crocodile Hunter, a true badass but in the healthy way. Yes he's the definition of an assertive, brave, badass for handling poisonous snakes but at the same time a committed family man with passion in life. Sadly he passed away but he was someone worth admiring and I also found him attractive. It's like he a unique character. Good in everything, character, bravery, committed, etc. It's like nothing was missing in him.

Nowadays why can't men be badass in healthy ways? Instead they are focusing on being PUA (pick-up artists), users, not into commitment, getting into bar fights, etc.

I didn't realize handling poisonous snakes was badass. Just curious are any of these other things somewhat badass?

I relocate snakes off construction sites as part of my job so they aren't harmed while the work is being conducted, some poisonous and some not. I've been bit by Snapping Turtles three times (one scar on my forearm). Bit by Hog-nosed Snake, Lake Erie Watersnake and Common Watersnake (once on the cheek). Chewed on by Northern Pike that grabbed my hand while I was taking it out of some nets, gouged in the hand by a Bald Eagle that had been shot by a farmer (nursed it back to health in a backyard pen). I've done Black Bear and Wolverine trapping/tagging/releasing and drawn blood from wolves as part of an Eastern Wolf DNA study.

I am, but the problem I have had for a very long time is that most women I have encountered are very immoral, disgusting people. And no, I don't go to bars, clubs, etc. Even women that are supposed to be upstanding role models, such as the ones working in schools are actually trash, immoral, scummy people.

The higher quality the man is, the more he realizes how many women are awful people.

You are looking in the wrong places. Hell my ex was so badass he ran into burning buildings for a living. And part of why we broke up is because he was the exact opposite of a player… poor bastard wanted to be monogamous. But to be fair he was a little bit ghetto some times.

I know plenty of men like that. One is a competitive sailor, one climbs mountains, another is a rock climber. I used to hot lap my race car. Maybe you should find a better crowd to hang with. What do you do when you aren't working?

Noble male, roguish male trope, it pretty hard to find light feminine women nowadays too.

oh plenty of guys are, just they are so badassed that they dont go around flaunting it so instead they are often seen as boring if seen at all.

Some men are just naturally badass. Badassness isn't something you can learn in college. To be badass you have to walk the walk.

LazerBean · Answer

Yes, they can.
