Answer 1

From a woman's perspective, being a man has nothing to do with liking sports, growing facial hair, or having big muscles. It's all about attitude. The most masculine men I know (and most attractive) have a self confidence that come across no matter what the situation. There is nothing so attractive as a man who is secure in himself and who he is. ie: a man who can get teary over a sad movie, a man being ever so gentle with a small child or baby, etc. The best advice I could give you about being manly is to just be yourself and enjoy being yourself! Also keep in mind that at 17 you aren't even close to being finished growing and maturing. You'll continue to mature until you're about 22. But think about this - men, like women, come in all shapes, sizes, and flavours. You don't need to love sports or fixing cars to be a scientist, doctor, computer tech, teacher, father, or husband. You just need to be the best "you" that you can be. As far as hanging out with girls most of the time - enjoy it! I'll bet the girls you know really appreciate being able to have a male friend. And I'll bet that there is more than one of the guys you know that wish they could be in your shoes! Getting to have girls as friends now will only make you a better partner, lover, father, and husband somewhere down the road.

You will perhaps grow out your attitude but watch how the other players play and and practise with them alot and begin to watch some action movies and forget about barney and spongebob for now, you should hang around some boys too and dont worry about wiskers or mouthstache because some men dont have whiskers and mouthstaches some boys get them at a later time, not having such wont make a man lesser than any other man, stop sorrying for yourself and get up and go out there and begin to grow into a full man.

Answer 3

There are 3 issues which could make a drink manly. the 1st and maximum obtrusive is alcohol content. larger alcohol content is extra manly. the 2d element which could make a drink manly is that that's bitter, reliable or in any different case undesirable to females. See beer and whiskey. The third high quality which could make a drink manly is its cultural prestige or esoteric traits. One such drink would be wine. the quantity of awareness required to navigate the wine worldwide and the skill to coach off approximately it helps. Imported or hand crafted beers serve the same purpose. One occasion of a manly drink that should not extra healthful the invoice so nicely is a Tom Collins. In its popular type it is not lots extra beneficial than alcoholic lemonade, yet through making it with double gin, the reliable alcoholic content of it could make it a "manly" drink.

Can there be harmony in conflict? By approaching conflict in harmony, you can resolve it. And harmony comes with an attitude of wonderment and open-mindedness. Buddha took a flower and looked at his students silently.

He asked them to respond. Each student interpreted it according to his own philosophy. Mahakashap got up and smiled. Buddha gave the flower to him and said, "You have interpreted it correctly".

In his smile every cell of his being was in a state of wonder. In every moment of our life why can't we see with totality and not in a partial way? Just by looking at things with appreciation, we can avoid conflict altogether.

What is the essence of the Bhagavad Gita? The Gita teaches us the art of being total. Use your actions in an attitude of karma yoga, use your feelings in devotion in bhakti yoga, use your intellect for right understanding in jnana yoga and use your being in silence in dhyana yoga.

When there is conflict we tend to counter it with conflict. War is conflict and Gita presents a harmony that could lead to inner tuning. The Gita's message is: "Create harmony in conflict".

In the art of archery, "losing the arrow" is the most important aspect... Archery is only a preparation for the final "let go" of the arrow. Similarly, in life it is the "let go" of the ego which is most important.

Like in archery the anxiety to hit the shot dilutes and pollutes one's effort to hit the target. In life the anxiety to reach one's goals ravages one's life.

In the context of war the value of spiritual lessons is more, as one experiences tension... In martial art if someone twists your wrist and if you resist it, you may break your wrist.

But if you go with the flow rather than go against the flow, you are in a state of harmony. As you go with the flow then you counter-attack your opponent in the flow. This is creating harmony in conflict.

Most difficulties in dealing with conflict arises out of stress and tension. When you are in great tension, don't fight with it, just flow with it and then see the cause of the tension and handle it.

You see, there is a sharp distinction between worrying and worrying effectively. I feel like a sheep and I want to be strong. Has the Gita got something to say about this? Arjuna wanted to leave the battlefield.

Krishna tells Arjuna to face life and not run away from the conflict. Our conflicts exist because of our unconscious. Our prison habits created by the unconscious is making us live like sheep.

A lion lives alone and has the courage to face the dangers of life. A sheep lives in a crowd and has an illusion that the crowd will protect it. The sheep represents a part of our society and the lion represents our pure inner state.

The Bhagavad Gita helps us to tune to our inner pure state and denounce the illusion of security. Life is insecure, so face it courageously, says the Gita.

Clarity, courage and wisdom are true security. Learn to draw energy from that state and not from illusion. Then you will see the difference.
