Alpha forums and other shit that tries to emulate Chad behaviour are usually full of men who compensate for their lack of masculinity. I wouldn’t care about it OP. Masculinity is about one thing and one thing only: Capability.

Aka, ‘having what it takes’. To do what? Anything at all. Doesn’t matter if it’s fighting, learning, building, destroying, creating, hunting, running, lifting, protecting, providing, whatever. It’s about being capable to do what you set out to do, seeing it through, and finishing the job come hell or high water. That’s the quintessence of male efficiency. Having the power to think of something to do, then making it happen in real life. You think it, then say it, then go and do it, and that’s what makes you a man.

If you aren’t capable to do the thing you want, that’s fine. That doesn’t make you less of a man. Because all it means is being capable of becoming capable over time, over learning, over suffering, over growing, over repitition and practice until eventually you slay the problem and you finish what you started. Still makes you capable. Don’t matter if you can do it today, or if it takes you decades. Long as it’s done, it’s proof you had it in you to do it.

There’s lots of ‘true tests’ of masculinity. The biggest one is suffering. Real suffering, not the mental neurotic kind. The type that happens whether you want it or not, like a death in the family or a sudden catastrophe or crisis. You get to find out what kind of man you are when Hell approaches. Because then you are forced to answer the question: “What should I do? What can I do?” then you’ll know.

Ignore any closet gays who try to convince you its about looking or dressing a certain way. That’s vanity. Vanity is a girl’s domain.

Manliness means different things in different periods and cultures, but essentially manliness means to throw oneself like shit at a wall and hope that we stick. In the future manliness might mean being a supergenius, having superfast reflexes, having high levels of endurance, and/or high levels of charisma, I suspect.

If you do this or have a family you provide for, congratulations, you are manlier than most men

Why are you in such forums at all? What sort of people would you expect in such an Internet environment? I'd expect an above average amount of competitive sociopaths and trolls putting on a pose.

I read a book called "fire in the belly" and one thing that really stuck out to me was "You have to be a father to nature, your community and yourself". I liked it because it goes against stereotypical characterisations of manhood.

Also when i see a dude being overtly domineering and projecting his manhood unprompted i thinks it the most gay shit ever.
