What is True masculinity hinged on then?

A guy can also be truly authentic and kind. That is also a nice guy, I mean not a stereotypical nice guy but a "good guy." One who has his boundaries very clearly laid out, his masculinity balanced, likes to be honest and knows his integrity. He is clean cut so he doesn't bend his rules to please anyone and doesn't compromise on his integrity to appear tough.

Can this destructive force be tamed and transmuted into achieving impossible or difficult things in life?

@CARDOZZO What masculine trait helps you to get over this fear? Do you think that a nice guy can exist who does not fear anything?

If I used a guy for sex, it's a lack of integrity on my part. I have never done that. I mostly had serious relationships. Long term relationships and some short term. But being conscious doesn't mean we can't have a bit of fun. A woman can of course engage in casual sex if she wants to. Personally I'm not too interested in that. I like solid relationships. My point wasn't about casual sex. My only point is/was that attraction is very much biological unless you're doing a lot of emotional and cognitive work to improve your dating life. But organically, it's mostly ruled by our hormones and instincts. And just like we can't control male instinct, we can't tame female instinct either. Women especially when they are horny (irrespective of age) will sleep with men they're genuinely attracted to. If they want to be conscious about it, obviously they can. Yet genuine attraction isn't regulated by any set rule. It's very unconscious in its process. A woman is turned on by a guy or not, this is similar to how men operate as well.

@CARDOZZO (just taking your permission beforehand) Can I use some of your journal entries for a post?

I liked this explanation.

Me too.

@CARDOZZO ow wow. That's a great share. Thank you.

Yes. I completely agree with this. This is exactly how I wanted to frame it. Maybe I wasn't nuanced enough but you put it perfectly and clearly.

Sure. I wanted to say that the argument can sway in both directions depending on what people think. Some people think that gender is a social construct. This is one camp. They believe that gender is a myth. Yet another camp believes that gender is not a myth and that there are definite differences between male and female rooted in biology. Personally I favor the second camp more.

This is a very good question. However. I don't have a definitive answer to this question. I think the answer to it will lie somewhere between abstract and concreteness. One can argue that gender is a myth and a product of social construct or one can say that there are definite biological differences. It's like one of those questions where we ask "is philosophy or religion really necessary in life?" or if "does IQ really measure intelligence?" Nothing is too fundamental and or absolute about this topic. The notion of masculinity itself is very mushy and muddled with configurations, stereotypes and certain biological attributes, social dynamics across cultures have a played a fair role in shaping our ideas about masculinity. But I would like to know what men themselves think of it.

And I forgot to mention I-pill. It's fool-proof, all my gals around me using it for years and none got pregnant. We women take care if we're responsible.

It happens rarely. Never happened with my friends. I know them long enough and all of them use condoms. Contraceptives are much better and safer these days if used properly. So no worries at all.

I really liked this article but it would be very tough to do for most men I guess, I don't know you tell me. The article is titled — How To Be More Masculine and Manly in a Hyper Feminine World https://www.knowledgeformen.com/how-to-be-more-masculine/

I liked your definition, very congruent with strong leadership based masculinity.

I think it is already the case, however I do believe that fundamental biological differences between male and female make us different. We're similar yet different.

(I'm not satisfied with the answer) I asked chatgpt about it and this is what I got — Masculinity is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles generally associated with men and boys. It's a social construct, meaning its definition and expectations can vary across cultures, historical periods, and even individual experiences. Key aspects of masculinity often include: Physical strength and prowess: This can involve athleticism, physical labor, or a focus on physical appearance. Emotional control: Men are often expected to suppress their emotions, particularly vulnerability or sadness. Independence and self-reliance: The ability to handle challenges on one's own without relying on others. Aggression and dominance: This can manifest in competitiveness, assertiveness, or a desire for control. Breadwinning and providing: The responsibility for financial support and protecting one's family. It's important to note that these are just some of the common traits associated with masculinity, and not all men conform to these stereotypes. Additionally, the concept of masculinity has evolved over time, and there's a growing recognition of the diversity of masculine experiences. Would you like to discuss a particular aspect of masculinity, or perhaps explore how it's portrayed in different cultures or historical periods?

How much of this is True? By the way it's quite motivating even for a woman.

What is pm?

What is sex pm?? Genuinely curious.

I really liked this. How do you differentiate the feminine mastery of mind and body versus the masculine mastery of body and mind? Tough question, I know, it's okay if you don't want to answer.
