Answer 1

Stop looking like a girl.

Answer 2

Hmm? That is an interesting question really... I am going to warn you though that my answer is going to be long (although I will try not to make it too long to bore you) in order to answer your question. Ok, here we go...

Firstly, I want to make a distinction here because I read over all of the answers before mine and I notice that people are confusing what being a “man” is with what being “masculine” is. Although through our society today, the two are commonly associated with one another, in my opinion, the definition of what being a man is does not necessarily hinge on the fact of how masculine you are. Yes… I know a shocking concept (and for those of you assuming right about now that I must be gay or bi, that is not the case either). I have answered plenty of your questions before Joey, so I am well aware that you are bi – but still, to me, that fact is also irrelevant. Allow me to clarify the difference between what being “masculine” is and what being a “man” is. For me, to be “masculine” is a personality trait. It is something you should not have to *pretend* to do or take any special effort in conveying – it should be a natural, automatic thing that is just apart of you.

For example, guys who naturally have deep bass in their voice, lots of facial hair, enjoy manual labor, have genuine interests in things like sports, cars, and as someone else above me said, construction oddly enough, then these are things that I would associate with masculinity. However, not having these features or interest is fine too, that does not necessarily and automatically make you all feminine either. Take me for example, I am guy with a average sounding voice, slender/medium build, minimum body hair but a lot of facial hair, love girls, but have no interest in sports. So, what does that make me? You see how labeling can become a problem? So all of the stuff people above me have said is speaking towards how you can become (or at least appear) more masculine – but not be a man. If that is your goal, then take their advice, but as far as how to be more like a man, being a man does not entail anything physical at all. It is not how many weights you can lift, how many girls you have slept with, how you talk, look, act, dress, or even how you take pictures or adding hearts in your writings (as someone else brought up). Being a real man is all about your character and your convictions.

A man is someone who foremost is confident in himself; he is a person of true virtue and someone who owns up to his responsibilities. He is someone who is trustworthy, fair, and stands by what he says and believes. I know this all sounds cheesy but look at this example. Say there are two men: one is gay and not so masculine, and the other is straight and very masculine. The gay man has an adopted child he supports, cares for, and works hard to protect, teach, and give his child the things s/he needs. On the other hand, the straight guy abandons his child and does not work, and lies and sleeps around with lots of women. Who is the real man in this scenario? The straight guy because he is “masculine” and sleeps with lots of women? How asinine does that sound? So, again, as long as you stay true to yourself Joey – you will find that you are more or of a man than most. Sorry for the long answer, but it needed to be said. So no worries… Cheers!

Answer 3

Shoulders strainght! Now step up to the plate and put on your big boy undies and deal with it.

Answer 4

The world would be so boring if there weren't people like you. You cheer me up just reading your questions. Considering how some men behave, I will choose you for a friend anytime.
haha smiles ****Sparkles****

Answer 5

Scratch yourself a lot in the morning. That's always a good start!

Answer 6

Hey Joey!
I think that you should first, stop putting hearts everywhere. That's all the advice I have. Oh, wait! I saw on your profile that it says u r bi, well that probably has something yo do with all of this. Being bisexual is nothing to be ashamed about.
Good luck!

Answer 7

I agree with B1stro. However, if you want to be manly, get a guy hair cut, don't bite your nails in a 'cute, girly' way, stop wearing make up, stop taking pictures of yourself in stupid angly ways in which you can barely tell your appearance, and I assume you wear girl pants, so stop doing that too. You could also stop putting hearts and asterisks with 'cute' little inserts in your questions.

Answer 8

Scratch a certain area

Answer 9

If you wanna be like man go work on a construction site for a little or do fencing with them. That'll shape you up real quick.

Answer 10

No one gives a sh*t if sweat has dripped from your head. Silly things like that will make you seem less "manly." Start by not doing that.
