These days it seems real men are as rare as virgins.
I thought I would compile a list of characteristics, mannerisms and qualities of a real man. Most of them seem to have been lost through the generations. However by having all these qualities you are not a perfect human being, simply you are just being masculine, the signature part of every man that society wants to stamp out, and is sadly succeding at.
1) Control your emotions:
This is supposed to be the one quality that seperates men from boys and women. Women simply cannot control their emotions. Too many 'men' today can't either. Quite frankly, if you can't control your own emotions, you are not a man.
2) Talk less and listen more:
Self explanatory. Too many men today simply do not know when to shut up. The less you talk, the more its valued.
3) Stop apologizing and explaining your actions:
I used to do this alot. I find it is a habit of men that aren't sure of themselves, men with low self esteem.
4) Make decisions:
Men need to make decisions, for themsevles atleast and if need be for others. 'Men' today seem to always be looking to woman for confirmation of their decisions. I see it alot with married men.
5) Look People in the eyes:
Especially when having a conversation. Not in a aggressive stairdown way, rather in a way that lets someone feel at ease. It also lets them know you have confidence in yourself and in what you are saying.
6) Be Proactive, stop complaining and blaming others:
Self explanatory. Since it does not help you to blame others and complain (even if its justified), you may as well be proactive and find a solution, otherwise you are just being weak.
7) Offer Value to people:
This is not monetary value, but rather personal value that you can offer to others such as advice when asked for.
8) Be grateful for what you have:
Self explanatory.
9) Be charming, respectful and fun:
Charm isn't sexual, it is just warmth and friendliness. Having respect for others and your self also seems to be a lost art form. Unfortunately women are boring. So in order to counter this, we are the ones that have be fun.
10) Take responsibilty for all your failures. If you can't do this, then you are not a man. This ties in with number 6 but deserves to stand on its own because so many 'men' today attribute all their failures to alien conspiracy theories.
11) Have a mission in life and be selfish with your mission:
Never Compromise on it, not for anyone. Too many men today have no mission, or if they do they let a woman take a first place seat in their lives and their mission gets pushed aside.
12) Be Self Sufficient and Self Reliant:
If you cannot rely on yourself to get things done you simply cannot call yourself a man. Of course you will need allies and connections. However nobody wants to be allied to someone that can't empower themself.
This list is by no means the be all end all. If you have more to add please contribute. I would like to add that this is not some redpill 'alpha/beta' nonsense. These are just qualities that define our masculinity.
Being a man has nothing to do with being tall, or having broad shoulders. Although these are general physical characteristics of a man, they do not define a man. Most men and women miss this point.
I was going to add in 'being dominant', however I realised that once you 'practice' all these habits and mannerisms, and acquire these qualities, you become dominant without even consciously trying to be.
