Why manliness is important. (Updated)

Many men today feel adrift and have lost the confidence, focus, skills, and virtues that men of the past embodied. In an increasingly androgynous society, modern men are confused about their role and what it means to be an honorable, well-rounded man. The causes of this male malaise are many, from the cultural to the technological. One factor is simply the lack of direction offered men in the popular culture.  [b] “Every generation revolts against its fathers and makes friends with its grandfathers.” [/b] -Lewis Mumford Men need role models, and like many men, mine was my grandfather. He's a great shot with a gun, a hard worker, a good outdoorsman, and a general stand-up guy. Manliness is more than just being a tough guy. Its being a respectable man, and a well rounded individual. You'll find all aspects of your life improved by not only learning to be a good man, but putting it to practice and constantly striving to improve. To all you young men reading this I urge you to find a positive male role model. Learn the importance of your word, the value of hard work, how to take care of yourself, as well as basic life and outdoor skills. You'll find you only benefit in the long run.

  • Being a "man" isn't important, especially since people have all sorts of stupid ideas over what being a "man" is. A lot of guys will tell you that one needs to have sex with a lot of hot women in order to be a man, as well as needing to have the ability to take stupid, pointless risks to show how "brave"/"tough" they are. I'd say it's far more important to just be thought of as a good person. Helping others and trying to leave the world a better (or at least no worse of a) place than it was when you first entered it is a far better goal, in my opinion.
