I've been feeling like I don't respect myself much lately, and I think it's a lack of raw masculinity. Specifically I don't really do anything masculine other than lift weights. What are some ways to improve my self-sense of masculinity?
Hanging with guys in a bar, teasing the girls there.
But be polite.
Join a sports team.
I had a similar problem: grown among mostly girls with no masculine reference I could really use.
High impact martial arts like muay thai
Either you man up or go full faggot taking the first low kick
Just fap!!! Is very manly and the girls cant do it
Go to youtube and search for Alpha Man there you have the solution

>think about what you consider masculine
>go do that
>have fun with it
it differs from town to town. often times people find that recapturing their masculinity involves recapturing their youth.

if you want to be a man, act like a man.
Just picture what kind of man you want to be, what that kind of man does, what he dresses like, talks like, what he reads, what he creates. Then try to live as close as possible to that ideal as you can. Everyday. It's a form of "fake it until you make it".
It also helps to search for real life persons (or even imaginary ones) that fit your ideal as close as possible. Is your ideal man something like bruce lee, jesus, ron swanson, chuck norris, batman, theodore roosevelt? Read up all you can about their life, their work etc. Get a feeling of how that person was. Ask yourself in every moment: what would (insert name) do?
If you happen to know a guy who you deem masculine/you want to be like, just ask them non creepily to hang out/hand out advise etc.

(i know artofmanliness has become some kind of meme, but they truly had great articles a while back; i haven't visited for some time now though)
you dont Need specific activities just imagine your goal of a man and act according to it in every Situation of your life, for example imagine a SS-officer and think of all the traits he has (purposefully romantizise) and then begin acting according to them

Find a social rugby league in your area.
There is no recipe for that, kid.
Where I live, the manly things that a man can do is the "man of the house" thing: work hard, provide good life etc...
Get some new interests like hunting, guns, bbq, alcohol, tech, news, sports, reading, dressing (most guys usually look like Justin Bieber clones, thats fucked up) watches, fighting skills, diy things
The most important thing is how you do whatever you do, do it like a man
Choping down a tree with a fluffy axe wont help
Sorry for bad english

Love this, and yes the best way to feel like a man is to start being (or acting) like what you envision the ideal "man" to be!
Want muscles? Work out!
Want money? Start training/applying for good jobs
And so forth

Grow a moustache or beard or both if you can. It's undeniably masculine. I'm currently rocking something like poirot but a little longer. I plan to grow it longer too like a boss or the next sheriff of hazard county lol

masculinity is throwing the sand into shipping trucks with tiny shovels
intelligence is having the right vehicle and tools to collect the sand
