3 Emotional self-sufficiency
This is more of a "you can't depend on anyone" than a "you don't depend on anyone" these days. Men live in hell.
A difficult to accept example is pussy eating. You eat pussy because you want "magical angel mommy" to "tell you that you're a good boy"[validation]. That's a 100% thing, mostly caused by abandoment issues. It's common. If your girlfriend has "guy friends"[attention and validation], she will 100% cheat on you. This is VERY certian.
There are many types of emotional validation we can look for. Your skills, your money, your control, "doing everything to be a good Man, not just a good male". You need to know you can do without it. Live without it, boys, society says you're disposable.
You are the only one that can value your life. Even your wife will leave you in 2 months like clockwork if you're jobless. PRACTICED. Don't get married, brothers. Our legal system has destroyed it. There is only masters and slaves in marriage, and only men get punished.
Masculine benefit: "You can't be manipulated."
4 Intellectual courage
You are able to question beliefs others take for granted(marriage, justice, money, fairness) and follow the evidence instead, even when it goes to dark places. You will never find any goodness, only the veneer of credibility and legitimacy. Life is tough. Buy a helmet. Everyone has a reason for what they do, and even good people are destructive with their flailing "desire to do good" when we just need "order".
Your ability to support and protect yourself is your first and most-important priority. If you hate yourself for being alone, you are running on cultural propaganda data. Attain intellectual courage. I wish there was a better way to protect yourself. These are the basics, repeat them until you have control of your life.
