This post is single-handedly the most important part of this journey. If a man has this, everything will fall into place. However, if he does’t have it, he will run into all sorts of problems and insecurities. I’m talking about being a man. Being masculine. Exuding masculinity, manliness and testosterone.
Lets start with what masculine men are: Masculine men are strong (physically and mentally), in control, leaders, take responsibility for their actions, decisive, have a manly voice, unappollogetic, brave, mature, confident, authentic, protectors of loved ones, solid, set boundaries, assertive, independent, congruent, busy.
Now what are the qualities that you need to get rid of to be a manly man?
Needy, wussy, running away from problems, insecure, feminine, weak, coward, submissive, always trying to please, argue to feel important, need for attention.
Here are some quotes from David D “On Being a man”:
Keep one part of yourself totally unavailable to women.
Be the STAR, NOT the planet – People orbit around you.
The more decisions you make, the more alive you are.
The busier you are, the more desirable you become.
Everyone wants to be understood. Most people do not feel understood.
First undertand MEN, then yourself, then WOMEN, then the kind of woman you want.
It’s mature to allow others to have and enjoy experiences without you.
Realize how the choices you made in your life have gotten you where you are right now.
Keep in touch with WHY you’re doing what you’re doing.
You need to become aware of your imminent death.
Every day, wake up, choose what you want to do that day and do it.
