How To Become More Masculine

[The_Guy]

Hey, so I was thinking we should get a thread going on about different ways you can give off a masculine aura or vibe.


Some things I can think of would be:

- Posture
- Voice tonality, clarity, and pitch
- Wearing clothing that fits to show your body
- Being calm for the most part and not getting emotional about everything
- Being busy because YOU ARE
- Not being afraid of what doesn't matter
- Facial hair (if you have the face shape to pull it off)
- Just doing it


Some other things to consider:

- Jewlry/piercings
- Make-up (no, not caking it on like a woman)
- Being COMFORTABLE wearing what ISN'T masculine!

Masculinity is not what is always sought out to be. Being man, in one perspective, is DEFYING masculinity! That's right, DEFYING! If you can succesfully defy masculinity itself and be COMFORTABLE with it, that's what REAL masculinity is imo. That means wearing what isn't generally or socially considered masculine. Look at any Glam-Rocker, do they look "masculine" to you? NO! But are they comfortable in it? HELL YEAH! They wear these ridiculous costumes and get-ups and ACT, or for some, KNOW they own the place! They're not going to let a bunch of punks tell they HOW they should dress! And I can assure you, they're getting more girls than they want. It's a thought to keep and mind; really think about the content of this website and relflect on some of YOUR thoughts!

Masculinity is more like and engine not an external armor.

You give vibes of masculinity when you're masculine inside not because you grow a beard, you'll find plenty of bearded manginas on communist parties meeting and those men are the same ones looking for approval as dogs looking at their owner.

What you are actually saying is more like "how can I show that my car has a powerfull engine? does an expensive stereo or big lights will make it?"

Masculinity is being able to handle the highway not waking up the neightbourhood with loud music.

Strelok: I know. I'm aware this isn't what "true" masculinity is. At the beginning of the post I said what could give off the "aura" or "vibe" of masculinity.

Lifting weights and eating healthy food has really done wonders for me.

By lifting weights I mean free weights. Machine weights are cool to get you started but benching and squatting have definitely changed the way my body looks for the better.

Also, cut out all the junk food and sweets. Seriously dude. None of that stuff is natural to put into your body. Start eating foods with a-lot of protein in them. Almonds, Eggs, Steak, low fat cottage cheese, tuna.
Make sure you're eating whole grains too. Whole grain bread, rice, pasta. Also, get in a-lot of fruits and veggies.

Give this a couple months and I'm sure you'll have a more masculine "aura" about you.

Masculinity is the output. All those things you listed are outputs.

What is the input? What will you do to have a masculine output? Or do you want to just copy and fake the traits of a masculine man like an actor does instead of trying to become a masculine man, make decisions and take actions like a masculine man does...

Masculinity has NOTHING to do with appearance, that is part of the feminine. You can look good or like a hobo, but that doesn't change anything.

 

[The_Guy]

Alle_Gory: You practically just rephrased what Strelok said, which I responded to.

I'm look for more posts like btwonbuck2012's.

Machines are also excellent for therapy because they guide you through the movement and excellent for correcting imbalances because of how they help you focus the stress on specific body parts.

Playing sports and/or working out consistently and several times a week. There is nothing that raises testosterone like lifting weights or competing against other people in a physical activity.

Make sure your nutrition and sleep are in order.

No. Machine help develop imbalances. Any exercise that is any good is done with free weights, except for maybe the GH Raise or the Reverse Hyper. Machines are a waste of time for anyone who wants to become more athletic, but also for anyone who wants to look better.

100 %. And this is coming from a Personal Trainer.



Good post OP.

Testosterone is the key. Here are some ways of optimising your natural testosterone production:

I also take tribulus supplements and find that I have an increased sex drive, more aggression at the gym, university etc.

1. You have to want to act like a man. I dont mean looking all macho, but rather the important things such as leadership, boldness, be sexual, accept responsibilities, pursue your goals or dreams....thus respecting masculinity.

2. You have to do all things masculine and truly enjoy them: military-gun culture, auto-moto culture, sports culture, pus$y-loving culture, etc.



The rest is gonna take care of itself, once your identity changes the appearance will follow. And you can not act all glam - that's for the celebrities, and is probably only an act in most cases.

 

[Alle_Gory]

No. Machine help develop imbalances.

No ****, and they can also help fix imbalances if you know what you're doing. They're not the best tool for getting in shape but if you know what you're doing they can be very useful.

This is nonsense. Guns are unnecessary, I cant stand football, and I don't care much about cars. Define your own reality and your own interests, not necessarily what society dictates is "masculine" or not.

You got a great point, masculinity and femininity become good or bad according to what work the most for the ruling elitè.

When it needs to take down Hitler to make sure the american bankers dont lose their money invested in the reconstruction of post WWI Europe all hail to the macho man, when it comes of getting money now and keep people submissive the macho type is the supreme evil who discriminate against everybody else.....strange that the macho type is the first to pose a threath to the status quo.

This is slightly off topic, but the elites wanted to bring women into the workforce in order to double the available labor pool. Double the labor pool to pick from and you can drive down wages big time. It now takes two incomes to support a family that you used to be able to support with one.

Getting this thread back on topic, one of the keys to masculinity is to avoid things that are too feminine:

1. Gossip and b&tching. If you're more of a nice guy (i.e. not very masculine), women will try to make you their emotional tampon/gossipy girlfriend to complain to about the boss, her ex, her family, and her life. You think you are being a good friend by lending your ear, but what little masculinity you have left is being bled out of you.

2. Hollywood gossip/celebrity worship. It's ok to know a little about this if chicks bring it up, but if you can name who all the Kardashian's are dating and/or married to, please reach down and see if you still have a pair lol.
