Teach me how to act masculine?

Question

First of all I'm a guy but the funny thing is I don't know how to act like a guy... at least not that much. I've been observing people to see what they do so that maybe I can follow their footsteps and act like them. Ofcourse that didin't work out too well. I observe them, in fact I even took some notes but it didn't do any good. That's why I need some tips on what should I do and/or say in order for me to be more masculine? What should I avoid saying and/or doing? Thanks

Answer 1

The girls are right.
You need to be yourself.
Do not confuse macho with masculine.
Do not confuse macho or masculine with sexuality.
Be nice and be confident is the best advice I can give you.
Self-confidence comes with believing in yourself and knowing you have self-worth. You are probably a nice guy already.

Answer 2

Don't try to conform to political correctness, and for the love of the Gods... DON'T be metrosexual.
That's about the least masculine way I've ever seen.

Remember... it's okay for guys to be sensitive without being pansies.
Work out a bit, to get the testosterone and adrenaline flowing, and figure out what the feelings you have at that point are...
If you feel like eating a steak, flip off the nearest PETA activist and take a big bite.
Thank a vegan for being a vegan, and be sincere... they leave more meat for the meat eaters.
Go camping.
Get outdoors.
Cook something over a fire.
Get back in touch with your masculine side.

It has become increasingly politically incorrect to "be a man" and act like a man. That Y chromosome evolved the way it did for a reason... that reason wasn't to get men to act effeminate. That's for the XX pairing.

Wow... I rambled.

Well try talking about sports.Most men like sports and cars.Work with your hands.If ur dad is around observe his actions.But the most important thing i can tell u as a man is to be yourself.Don't ever try to be something your not.As a man i would have far more respect for you if you were just yourself.If nobody likes the way you act now that's for them to deal with not you.

Answer 4

-When you drink from a cup, make sure your pinky isn't raised in the air.
-Don't be afraid to disagree with a woman and have an opinion. They hate it when you just agree with everything they say and act like a pushover. The women who are saying "be who you are" might mean exactly this.
-Never, ever try to be the "special guy" who "isn't like all the other guys." Women may tell you their problems but they will never want to date you.
-Eat some meat. Admit you have a dark side.

Answer 5

Dont follow anyone else, just be yourself. Dont waste your time observing people and trying to like guy things. If you dont like cars, you dont like cars. Its not going to be fun learning about it and you may lose your interest in doing so. If your a guy then I am sure your already acting like one.

Answer 6

Well, as said before, just be yourself. Im pretty sure you are a swell guy without acting tough. There are enough fakers in the world already :)

Answer 7

I don't understand why you feel you need to change, but if it will be beneficial, posture is everything. Confidence improves your posture and posture improves your confidence. Square your shoulders in conversation and speak loudly not mentioning your fondness for Kelly Clarkson. And watch some westerns.

Answer 8

Im sure if ur a guy, then u have the guy inside of u. Invite some guy friends over and ur inner guy should just release himself.

Answer 9

Be who you are!

Answer 10

BE YOURSELF!!!

Any relationships based on false pretenses is doomed to failure!
