I wonder if it’s a form of subconscious insecurity? 

 I'd interpret it more optimistically.

Perhaps they want to understand what it is that makes them more ideal as a person and want to emulate that. Goes for both men and women.  

 I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. I don't talk about it, but sometimes I'll ask myself if I am. 

 I feel like it should come naturally to an extent, people make it into a big deal. That being said it is important when it's in a real form. 

 Lol YouTubers care about it too because it gets clicks, Alpha, gamma, sigma the list goes on, its so cringe! I guess its just response to the gender fluid thing like now the other side just goes more extreme

 

 It's not extreme to think about masculinity.  

 I didn't say that it was, I was saying theres always a response to something that goes the other way and most of us live in the middle, but the extreme cases get the views and talking points

 

 Yeah , but only if you don’t count guys that choose sport every weekend over time with their wives and kids 

 They care about masculinity? 

I am genuinely curious. I don’t hang out with many guys and I’ve never once thought about masculinity. I only hear about it from YouTube. 

 The ones I’ve met yes. They all had that macho man vibe. 

 Is it masculinity or fear of women? 

 I don’t know. I thought it’s just feeling insecure perhaps? 

 You are wrong. 

 Cool story 

 You asked a direct question, received a direct answer.  It’s cool that @Cypher Rex bothered to respond to help you understand, but there was no story asked for nor offered. 

 I think it’s mostly men growing up with no strong father figure and in a femenized society who need to teach it themselves. 

 I grew up to single mother and it has never crossed my mind once 😆 

 Great video idea by the way Max 

 Glad you liked it 🙏 

 It's important to be connected to your essence. Man up. 

 It depends. I'll sometimes think philosophically about it, but probably not in the way you mean. Usually in the context of how I can be a better man, husband, etc. 

 Yes, my insecurities force me to be masculine and it does not help lol 

 I don't know how all men don't think about what it means to be a man.

You're literally having the human masculine experience, how do you not think about it? 

 🤷‍♂️ never crosses my mind 

 I rarely think about the Roman Empire.

 Ironically this is something I do think about once in a while 🤣 

 Men are reawakening. Boys are still slumbering.💪 

 Masculinity is just a gig. Single guys work in the gig economy. 

 No. 

Or, it should not be. 

But... 

If you're married and have a growing family, the responsibility of that tends to help you figure out that stuff. Not always, but in many cases.  

 It absolutely does. It helps you mature and do what's right for your family, becoming the leader your family needs. Maybe it just comes natural for some more than others. 

 Have sons.  There will be plenty to think about.  

Single guys are rediscovering what it is after being raised without a father in the household and/or with a feminized worldview via Gov’t schools.  

Many focus on casual sex since testosterone greatly influences male thinking until about 35-40 years of age. 

 I only encounter it when women call it "toxic" because they need an excuse to attack someone. 

 If my experience is generalizable, your priorities shift bigly after reproducing. Impressing random people just doesn't matter anymore. It never mattered but now you have more important things to worry about. 

 Reminds me of “the behavioral sink” experiment

 All the guys turn asexual after they commit to a relationship? 

 Doesn't it make sense for single men to put more emphasis on attracting a partner than attached men? Especially in this strange era of dating apps that encourage their users to swipe left/right based solely on a person's superficial attributes. 

 correct because they are not comfortable with themselves, someone who is comfortable with themselves does not feel to need to act like a baboon. 

 The current $BTC market conditions are showing a higher low, which typically indicates a bearish trend.

Taking all of this, the next significant point in the market is projected to be trading on ATH, the best approach for this indicator is integrating arbitrage strategy for passive accumulation.

You can easily 100x your portfolio this period with the passive arbitrage signals.

 I believe it’s more a matter of their insecurities as a man. In my experience, it seems once you find yourself a partner, you learn more about yourself as a man and what “means” to be a “man”. Your priorities seem to shift after discovering yourself. 

 wrong. every father with a son thinks and talks about it. 

 IMO, if you care about this so much that you have to talk about masculinity and that you have to talk about being an alpha male, the news flash here is that you're neither. A strong leader doesn't go around and telling everyone that they're a strong leader. 

 I have but one reply https://image.nostr.build/ac9b9f114dedc62cd2c0ca543e3522056a7d4383dc9e0a6143d00789ad7f92bb.jpg  

 Depends. 
In my experience, masculinity is something I've perceived very differently at different points in life.

Are the loud, single guys grappling with the definition or, maybe, a specific stage of perception? 

 It's basically the counter-culture to feminism in the same way someone might be "Liberal" or "Conservative". 

 It's only the normie acceptable way to talk about what single guys really want : to improve their chances at not being single. 

When they talk about masculinity, they say: go to the gym, be assertive, get a better job, groom etc... 

Basically they are trying to get a mate. Which is fine and natural, they should make the correct adjustments to improve their chances at attracting a mate that will make them happy.  

 Probably because married ones already lost theirs to the FUBAR point.
🤣🤣🤣😈
