You gotta be strong in the real way. That's all it, everything else comes with that.

I think honor and good morals are important traits.

Carries his own weight, or just being good at getting his way.

To be a man you must have honor, honor and a peenis.

being a man means standing up for what you believe in, never letting anyone else make your opinions for you, and being loyal to those you care for.

No one stands between a man and the unknown.

>all these "for honor and country" replies that read like something out of a military recruitment commercial

God, you faggots are insufferably stupid. No wonder the world treats us like we're completely disposable.

I used to think strength, leadership and constant emotional composure were necessary components of malehood, until I realized I have none of that and standards like that are bullshit. Now I just do me, and it's cool, I guess.

Any attempt at concretely describe a "real man" is impossible, and anybody who does so is a numale or a woman.

--human
--naturally grew testicles
--optional bonus points for not being an easily manipulated tool that lives for others

you must let go of this ideology, its what makes you, you. for example are you strong are you knowledgeable are you smart are quick slow dumb weak which combinations of skills do you have that makes you you? no doubt being the certain gender does have benefits and disadvantages but it does not determine who you are if you suck at life its not your gender its your lack of skills and core values(mind set) one day you may cast off the shackles of humanity and be more than human. humanity what a joke can't even let go of old ways of thinkin,,

Being biologically male obviously.

>Not wanting to serve an entity greater than yourself
What entity would that be, Anon?

>Not wanting to have a sense of pride in holding to your principals
I believe I am holding to my princiPLES, although there's no reason to take pride in that. Pride just leads to arrogance.

My only concern is that you may be trying to apply your principles unilaterally to the entire male species. Just because I have a penis doesn't mean I need to sign myself up for the Army and fight in some overseas oil war.

>Nu-male
Very original.

>What does it mean to be a man?
Have a penis, be born with the proper chromosomes.

>What do you believe it means?
Being stong, silent, all the generic stuff.
Too bad I'm none of that and I'm just a weak little nobody.

>>35769842
>too bad I'm none of that
Don't do that to yourself. Don't be like me. You're no less valuable than anyone else, and if someone or something is making you feel otherwise, don't give in to that feeling. We're all just humans, and we're all just trying to make it in this world. Whether you embody someone else's ideals doesn't mean shit.

>>35768612
I have none of those. Maybe some fleeting ambition and stoicism, but I'm physically a joke, and have the charisma and confidence of a soggy towel.
