[Реrverted_Сreeр]

By chance, asker, are you a user named Jack Carter? ﾠ

[JackCarter]

Haha I guess no :)

[Asker]

Um lol no, why you ask?

[aceleon]

a male lion.

being strong in every sense and not settling for anything less than perfect

woman? why reduce it to 1 where you can have multiple?, why work your ass of to feed someone that is not your sire, sibling or offspring? let them do it for you or along with you 5 income ismuch better than 1 or 2 right? crowder is stronger.

having no one elses shit out of a fake sense of politeness, not submitting yourself to anyone else, never runnig away from trouble out of fear, self-awareness at it's maximum even if you have ocd that makes you unable to be %100 sure, not bothering with being consistent when it doesn't suit you, not being an average joe, not being desperate for anything other than peace of mind (because experience talking life is not worth leaving when you don't have it) not needing any reason to be confident even if you have things that can add to your confidence, not letting anyone see you as something you don't want to be, never shying away from honesty even if it is brutal and can make people judge you, being the judger of yourself, knowing black and white are the only real colours in life and the rest is just someone elses delusions and making waters blurred.

Wise words

[JackCarter]

Firstly I love Mr. Mentzer.. he's a big time inspiration for me!
I would say Masculinity has 2 extremes too..
Masculinity is not about showing off your power by hurting the weaker ones which is toxic
In simple words I guess it means being Strong, powerful , courageous, confident and so on.. and also at the same time being empathetic, generous, humble and caring

[wiltingrosepetal]

Power, admiration, assertiveness and confidence.

A man who has to scream, shout and threaten people with knives to gain respect, isn't truly masculine. But someone who can demand respect just from being in the room? That's masculinity right there. That may come from having an admirable personality (I would bow to Keanu Reeves if I met him), wealth, strength, social/political influence or through having a respected occupational position. On top of that, the ability to put your foot down to get what you want is a key tenant of masculinity. True men fight when there is an injustice. Not because they don't feel fear, but because they have the confidence to do so

[Djaay]

Wow... very well worth the notation. Your right ! 🤗👍

[Djaay]

I also know Keanu 's father, Samuel Reves who stayed at our home for 3 years. Keanu has grown up with lots of hurdles in his life. The two never really got along ever since he was born in Beruit.

100% the opposite of what women think they don't want. Why answer something like this when women will use it against the guy. When it don't go her way she say he wants masculine for me or he was to masculine for me. This just shows you that they are confused. Guys just be you out there and be happy with who you are and what you look like. Never change into something that you think a woman wants because it's just going to cost you money, stress and heartache that you don't need. If you got to work really hard to score a woman then it's not worth the prize because she will always be looking for someone better than you with the guys who are the highest benefit of $$$.

Masculinity, to me, embodies the duality of human nature, reflecting traits, personality, and societal conditioning. It’s a characteristic aspect that often intertwines with the yin and yang of life, echoing across various belief systems and shaping day-to-day existence.

[AmeriRiver096]

One thing I forgot to mention is how the attributes vary across cultures and evolve over time. Masculinity is not a fixed set of qualities; rather, it’s a dynamic and individualized expression shaped by personal identity, societal expectations, and cultural influences. It can include characteristics like strength, assertiveness, and independence.

[Yoursweetgirl]

I love Mike Metzner ❤️
Well I consider powerful characteristics as masculine. Power, responsibility and work

[Asker]

Wow how do you know Mike? ❤️
I didn't expect anyone here to know him..

[Yoursweetgirl]

I just got into that bodybuilding hype and I'm considering to compete. I knew nothing about bodybuilding like several months ago though, I got to know with googling and tiktok edits 😁

[Asker]

Wow go girl! 😌
I've been following Mike for long too... so you train HIT style?

[Yoursweetgirl]

I started with cut and was doinh mostly cardio and basic exercises, I started lifting and bulking in the end of summer, now I'm strating the cut

[Yoursweetgirl]

Wbu?

[Asker]

Very cool
Yeah so I'm actually into fighting more and initially I used to train for hours and do a lot of sets like Arnold😂
And this would make me paralyzed with soreness for days LoL
After I discovered Mentzer... I just train for less than 30 minutes once every 4 to 5 days and still make gains
Thanks to him I am not sore and I have so much time to concentrate on my boxing hobby and life in general
Sorry for the podcast... very nice meeting you.. all the very best to your physical goals 🤜🤛

[Yoursweetgirl]

Thanks ❤️ that was actually interesting to hear ❤️

[systemsareyo]

How good even my small biceps look and how good my short spiky cropped hair look. Golly I'm happy being a man 👀😆😄

[Asker]

Colaman!

[Ashley1993]

Being strong physically and mentally and being able to take care of women and children

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Believing in something, sticking to it the best you can, having enough humility to love something other than yourself and having the balls to acknowledge and face the things you're afraid of.

[Bella2423]

I like to a specific level not too much and it should come with a caring personality

[Bella2423]

Sorry I answered wrong answer
I meant the caring personality is more important

[Asker]

You're right!

[strateguy632]

masculine means to me without the luxury decorations elegant additions to clothing or shoes. no frills nor lace.

[sawno]

Leadership, ability to be a provider and strength are the first ones that come to mind.

[sawno]

Oh and reliance on logic over emotions.

[Joshydavid25]

Strength, being a leader, a rock, of service, sacrificial for the good of the community, protective..

[Anonymous]

Physical and emotional strength, quiet confidence, being heterosexual.
