7 Reasons Why Millennial Men Are Reinventing Masculinity

I clicked and…a woman wrote that!!!!!!!!!

A woman lecturing men about “masculinity” is like a man lecturing women about “how to be pregnant”.

I’m not going to read it.

1. They Value Self Awareness. While traditional masculinity says “don’t feel,” modern masculinity says “dare to feel.” Millennial men are committed to knowing themselves on a deep and personal level—even if what they find is difficult to confront or conflicting. Rather than hide from or deny who you are, become curious about who you are and have the courage to represent yourself authentically. Rodriguez recommends setting aside deliberate time each day to connect with yourself. “Don’t try to distract yourself and run around all day. You need to spend time with yourself and take care of you,” he says.

Answer: Sun Tzu said; “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

2. They Are Non-Conformist. The rigid gender roles for men and women are becoming more loosely defined as millennials challenge the status quo. According to one international study titled “The Decline of the Manly Man,” the percentage of men who are staying home to care for children is rising today while women are slowly surpassing men in academic performance and closing the income gap. The evolved man isn’t swayed by gender roles or what society deems “manly.” He doesn’t need to be validated externally by conforming. He acts according to his own volition, and he isn’t threatened by women rising, either.

Sounds like a man going his own way.

3. They Don’t Want To Compete With One Another. Instead of trying to gain empty status, the evolved man knows his worth lies within. He is secure within himself to the extent that he doesn’t need to put others down in order to feel better about himself. Rodriguez says, “It’s so important to have an abundant mindset over a competing mindset. Don’t sacrifice treating people right or opt for profit over people because there’s so much out there to receive. When we’re in a competing mindset we are limiting ourselves.”

Good points; the strength lies within, and not something that is validated from without.

4. They Value Authenticity. Millennial men have no need to pretend they’re someone they’re not, because they’re not ashamed of who they really are. You can cultivate authenticity in your life by ensuring your outer self is aligned with your inner self. One Boulder, CO-based movement, called the Authentic Man Program, is dedicated to empowering men in their authenticity so that rewarding interactions are made possible.

This is polar opposite of what a woman wants, she wants a slave.

5. The Want To Be Vulnerable. Outdated masculinity says men shouldn’t show any sign of weakness. But modern masculinity embraces vulnerability as an expression of courage. Rodriguez says, “The strongest man today is the most vulnerable. If you’re able to be self aware of what you feel and what you want and you don’t have to fake anything or try to keep up the image that society puts on you… if you are who you are, and you’re able to embrace that, you’re a man.”

With a male friend any man can be himself, it’s a different story with a woman as they’re predators. To pretend you’re stronger than you are is a feminine trait, not a masculine one.

6. They Act According To Their Values. A millennial man follows through on his values. He values his own sense of self above others’ sense of who he is so he honors his commitment to himself first and foremost. Rodriguez says you can get in touch with your values by folding pieces of paper in half with the following sections: needs and wants; strengths and weaknesses; and dreams and reality. Place the paper somewhere visible so you’ll continuously be reminded of it. “Remember to listen to your heart and not just your mind,” Rodriguez encourages.

It’s a bit difficult to loose your values as it resides in your mind and heart, so the way with using a piece of paper seems feminine. But acting according to your own values, that’s a good one.

7. They Are Motivated To Grow. Evolved men don’t just stop at “evolved.” They are continuously looking for new ways to grow and develop themselves. You can be proactive about your own development by attending education-based events. You will be better able to see your own blind spots in the context of relationships, so considering joining a men’s group or starting your own.

After the Red Pill-rage you get growth, and subsequently won’t need the “help” of a woman.

Good article, though it’s main intention was to plug the millennial back to the plantation. But the effect is giving rise to MGTOW, and the c~~~ doesn’t know this.

You guys are all missing the point.

Who cares if a woman wrote it. Stop being sexist. You act like you don’t have daughters or sisters. Quit acting macho.

The point is that modern men do not care what traditional men think and do what makes sense to them. This is why young men are making so much money. They don’t care about traditionalism.

I have a friend who does yoga and is worth north of $5m. He is not even 30 yet. He has his own basketball court in his house. He could care less what anyone thinks.

Boxing? Look what happened to Muhammad Ali.

Football? Ever heard of CTE?

Traditionalism is dead. The smart men are not sitting around complaining. They are out there making real money without damaging their health.

You can call them f~~~~~s if it makes you feel better. They are laughing all the way to the bank.

I do boxing, mma and yoga.

Yoga is hardly anti-male or gay or any other negative term.

A serious yoga session is brutally tough, I’ve seen mma guys get up and walk out of the classes.

Yoga is all about strength, balance, flexibility, and most importantly – recovery.

There are all kinds of ‘tough guys’ in there 40s, 50s and beyond who walk around like cripples, can’t work a physically demanding job or who are addicted to pain killers all because they neglect the all important aspect of recovery from sports that are hard on the body.

Funny enough, all the male students at the Yoga studio are young guys, the ‘old school’ guys wouldn’t be caught dead doing that ‘f~~~~~ Yoga stuff.’

It’s good to see the younger generation learn from the older generations mistakes – relations~~~s and everything else.

Thank you for heads up. MSM is best avoided and when I see woman writting articles on how to be a man I can only cringe.

RETIRE AT 50.

The concept of retirement makes no sense to me. If you enjoy what you do, then why would you ever want to retire? Most people are in careers they hate because they only thought about what would make them the most money. That is why they glamorize retirement. I don’t ever want to retire. I love what I do.

The best way to make money is to not even care about making money in the first place.

True.

Good for you, I don’t understand it at all, but good for you.

Me? I’m antisocial, I wanna retire to be the f~~~ away from everything and everyone.

You like your job, excellent, I like my job, but I have things I like a lot more, I don’t hate my job, but I surely like other things.

F~~~ if I had half a million euros I wold be in the Caribbean rigth now, living like a human been.

But, tha yoga s~~~ ain’t manly, is not wrong, is not bad, but is not manly. MASCULINITY CAN NOT BE REINVENTED.
