Be A Modern Masculine Man

Masculinity has come to be a somewhat controversial topic to approach. Fact, however, is that we men need to up our game massively in this society that is raising weak and fragile men too often. Masculinity isn't something tangible or quantifiable. It's an energy that a man has exuded for millions of centuries, to the point that it is now coded into a man's genes. Coming from a lineage of men who protected their tribe, their family and themselves - there are a whole lot of masculine traits that we can emulate in ourselves. 

Masculinity in the 21st Century is obviously not about protecting your tribe or hunting prey in the jungle. However, there are some underlying qualities that correlate with masculinity, and have existed within the strongest men throughout ages. One of them is discipline. Discipline is perhaps the first thing you need to work on if you're trying to analyze masculinity. It is discipline that has allowed men to make strides, reach milestones, and make new inventions and discoveries. Discipline today means having a certain level of self control, restraint over your urges, and not just acting on impulse all the time. Discipline would also, of course, involve punctuality. It is important that you become the kind of person who is punctual, disciplined, and dependable. 

Discipline doesn't always just mean keeping your values confined to yourself, but also stepping up and calling others out when they're crossing the line. Suppose you happen to witness someone who is acting out of line and needs someone to step up and communicate, it's important that you have guts to go to the to the other person, preferably in private, and tell them how you feel. Not only will this help you stay in control of situations in your life, it will help you further your discipline to help other people out - who will eventually appreciate whatever you brought to their attention if you did it respectful. 

Another important aspect of masculinity today is, and I'll say it bluntly, to quit bitching and do what you're supposed to! Fact is, many men today feel the need to spend more time whining and sulking instead of just accepting the role they've been assigned and getting with it. Fact is, the lesser you complain about something and just focus in getting it done - the more successful the outcome will be. Moreover, the people around you will begin to see you as someone they can lean on, and will hence treat you accordingly. 

Being able to take initiative is another important quality that any strong man must have. Just think about relationships and dating here - it's important that you take the initiative with whatever person you're interested in. It's important that you not wait for the girl to make the first move and have the guts to do it yourself. She's probably not going to approach you herself, she's probably not going to ask for your number - and the onus is on you to make it work!
