Real men don't use lol. (and now you'll immaturely respond with a bunch of LOLs, further proving my point)

And you're right. There's something I don't say on this forum often.

Most people confuse acting masculine with simply acting like a d!ck

Being masculine and being fun aren’t mutually exclusive.

Or just completely overdoing it and being obviously insecure.

No lol.

Lol

With whom are you more comfortable with a guy acting masculine or one who is nice and fun? Acting masculine is quite boring. That is why nobody watches western anymore.

Explain how you're not being masculine when you're being goofy and free. How were you acting when you were being masculine?

Very stoic serious and to the point. I’ve gotten results that way especially feminine girls who want a real man but overall my success is better when I’m care free and expressive. Almost feminine like seriously.

Masculinity is good in war like situations but not in peaceful situations. People and women want to be entertained.

being masculine and acting masculine is not equal.

I guess some A-list actors can pull that off. We see movies with a very masculine character and sometimes the actual actor just isn't the same. But generally, most of us don't have the skills to pull off showing what we are not.

You're probably plenty masculine as your normal self, and the extra effort cancels some of your natural vibes.

It's like the word alpha, masculine definition gets worked over pretty well.

Maybe you reach macho sometimes and some women love that while others don't.

If they can sense that you are masculine while you are carefree and having fun, that's a good combination. Sounds like it works for you.

You are either masculine or not imo. You shouldn't have to act or force anything. A good way to become that way is to do rigorous exercise frequently, study one kind of martial art or mma and eat a healthy diet with lots of protein like eggs, steak, lean chicken, tuna and lots of good vegetables.

I did full contact sports most my life while growing up in the early to late 90s and did two different martial arts. Was forced into it by my parents. Hated it at the time but wouldnt trade those experiences for anything now. Southern redneck coaches were total physchopaths back then who put their teams through grueling practices. It's like coaching jobs attracted some of the biggest overly macho bullying nutcases or something. Puking from pure physical exhaustion was common then at the end of wrestling and football practices.

Then you're not acting masculine.
Nothing is more magnetic than a masculine, reserved, calm, assertive man for women

 

[characternote]

Maybe the age of the girls had some effect as well as just the natural variance and it's never one-size-fits-all kind of thing?

I was out with a new wing this weekend just gone (annoying af and not sure i'll game with him again!) but he apparently has a monsterous lay count, and the dude is actually pretty camp! Definitely not macho man masculine energy. He's good looking and young though, hitting on teenage girls and it's never easy to tell where the majority of ones success is coming from

I don't think his game would fly over as well if he was hitting on older women who I think go more for the manly James Bond vibe

Very stoic, serious and to the point? Like, you approach a girl and say: "Ma'am, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Would you like to engage in sexual intercourse?" LOL.

1) Let go of the "lol"s
2) What do you define as masculine?

Being masculine doesn't necessarily mean being serious and uptight. Just like the phrase "as long as they open their legs" doesn't make you a man.

I think your post and most men's behaviors comes from a lack of understanding of masculinity.

Oh this is rich, the user formerly known as Hank Moody who rage quit this forum then came crawling back is gonna tell us about being a man... Let me learn you something, real men have something called resiliency, that means tolerance within reason, the fact that you left and came back Screams the fact that you had second thoughts on your departure because you were the one being unreasonable and here you are speaking about being a man?

This is exactly the type of person that pushes Masculine Morality, one that has no concept of being a man, that rage quits and comes crawling back because he has no other options.

I know you won't respond because really, what can you say? Your position is totally indefensible so you now have to constantly go on the attack with your anything but red pill rhetoric its cringe.

LOL. You thought changing your name alone was enough, your sheer laziness is another indication of your beta status.

I'll leave you alone when you stop trying to change the behavior of everyone else because it comes into conflict with your false online persona, genuine people don't need to control the behavior of others, fakes do or else their illusion is questioned.

Whenever I’ve acted like I’m fun, goofy and just free like a kid I got my @$$ friendzoned to hell and back. Every. Fvcking. Time. What works for me is not being into a girl or just barely being into her. If I can do that with a girl I’m super attracted to I’ll have it all figured out but I haven’t been able to do that yet. But it comes naturally to ones I’m semi attracted to and they fall all over themselves for me.

Yep I played football in college and I cringe at how hard practices were sometimes. My problem has always been that I’ve done TONS of masculine things but I also came off as the nice fun guy. Sociopath type guys that girls swoon over, always seem to be afraid of me for some reason. But women see me as this harmless good guy who they can’t maintain attraction for and yet the guys they go for have a lot of respect for me by the way I carry myself. It’s weird and I’ve never been able to figure it out. When I was in college and younger I never got disrespected by a guy in the bar scene or anything like that, never got into a fight and the few times I almost did the other guy backed down quick for some reason. Yet women will walk all over me if I don’t constantly set boundaries. It’s exhausting.
