Hmm, "macheesemo" sounds like a cheesy word, literally. Anywayz, machismo means when guys show pride of being male, thinking that they're better than women and that they can do anything, except crying or showing they're delicate side.

Simply put, "Machismo" is males showing off their masculinity, usually directed towards females. More prominent in Spain and Italy.

> Machismo refers to manliness. Extension of macho.
> Either of these terms usually refer to an individual with low self esteem, who "acts out" in a very manly manner, especially when threatened or trying to maintain control of weaker people.
> ie: Gang leader who struts and preens in front of group. He says, he's tough and his gang will defend him. When confronted alone, he tends to soften and becomes very docile.
> Good Luck
