Answer 2

haha, this reminds me of a poem one of my friends read one night. :)

Bradley Hathaway is the author of this poem:


The Manly Man

I don’t want my long hair, pretty green eyes, with—(no, I do not have on mascara)—eyelashes; skinny figure, undersized T-shirt, hips shake too much when I walk–to confuse anybody… I am a Manly Man!

Within this sissy frame, obviously rib-laden chest
Lies a heart that drives to the beat of a native American ritual dancing wildness,
It pumps an ever-cascading supply of untamedness
That a heard of wild mustangs still have yet to grasp.
If danger lurks about, I will seek it out.
If adventure abounds, I will be found there.
If a damsel be in distress, I will show her who is best.

I am a manly man… because I don’t flush,
and I leave the lid up.
I drive a 1988 Ford pick-up truck;
Girls don’t break up with me…
I break up with them first(except the last time didn’t really work out like that)
I don’t shave the hair on my face
(because I still can’t grow facial hair yet, but when I can I won’t)
Because beards are tough!
I fart, burp and spit when I want, not caring who’s nearby.
Disrespect my momma, and I will punch you in the eye.
I am a Manly Man… or am I?

I tell my guy friends I love ‘em, and sometimes,
sometimes I even hug ‘em,
Not because I’m gay, but because I love em.
And when I watch Bambi, I cry.
And when my mema gets mad, I still run and hide.
Like David I want to be a man after God’s own heart;
I’m not there yet, but past the start.
And when people talk, I try to listen;
and a spirit of compassion—that’s my vision.
Surely I am a Manly Man.

I want to be loved, and have love, and give love.
And not just that romantic kind either,
(although I am looking for that beauty).
Not helpless, but one who wants to be rescued—
the damsel in distress,
Man, woman, myth, true.
I will fight for her,
climb the highest mountain for her,
love her, share with her,
Delight in her, be her warrior, her protector.
She will be my crown, and I will be hers.
My masculinity will be passed down and affirmed to my sons,
And each of my daughters will know they are lovely,
And deserving of authentic romance…
Society tells me all day long that I define manhood completely wrong,
But you ask any honest man and he will agree;
you ask any honest woman
And she too will see that
I am a manly man!


haha! Don't forget to snap!

and as for the advice? who cares what people say? be yourself. And that takes more testosterone than anything else.

Answer 3

I think it would be a good idea for you to ask them what they mean by this. Do they mean that you have to think and/or act like they do? Does it mean you have to wear a certain style of clothes? Does it mean you have to be jumping in bed with some cutie? And what makes these people think they know what "manly" is?

Answer 4

Talk with a more assertive sounding voice, don't use many hand gestures, think systematically, don't talk as much, like manly things, like sports and machines. Listen to more music with male vocals and electric guitar.

So there you are, but why are you trying to change who you are?

Answer 5

I'm a girl! How to be more manly, BE YOU ... if you're worried about how you come across, maybe it is your friends that need to look at themselves. Just be you and you'll be fine!

Answer 6

Would that be effeminate?
You should stop skipping along picking flowers and going La-de-da. To be manly you must strut and punch and roar and grunt.

Answer 7

great....kinda gay ..... question
p.s im a girl
Be tuff, Have confidence in you.It's not by what you wear and how you act Its your mentality.Know who you are and do you.You dont need gay freinds who think they all that when really deep inside their guts their some punks.Toughen up and stop asking that question and then you'll become manly.

Answer 8

feminine sweetheart not emfamine.
I don't know you or have ever met you so i honestly can't say.
Do you wear tight shirts that are silk.
Don't.
Wear cotton shirts and leave it tooked out of your pants.
Do you have a higher pitched tone for a man, try lowering your voice a touch.
But, if you are comfortable with who you are and you shoul dbe, then you shuoldn't change for anyone.
If your so called friends say you should change, then they are not good friends.

Answer 9

Greenday ir right ; talk like a pirate. Arrgr.

Answer 10

Be confident and comfortable with yourself.
Say what you mean and do what you say.
Be fair and balanced.
Protect the weak and uphold what is right/just.
This is the way I see it...
