To be honest, I’m not a fan of the word ‘masculinity’ because it’s more about being politically correct these days. Since I would like to be correct in actions, factually correct and actually correct, I prefer the word ‘manliness’. We are going to look at the difference between these two concepts in dating and relationships today.
- Do you stand up for your beliefs?
If you stand up for your beliefs, you have integrity. That’s manliness.
But if you just do what’s nice and popular, you are probably only trying to fit in. That’s politically correct. That’s masculinity in today’s day and age.
Frankly, I’ve never met an alpha male who talks about ‘masculinity’. Truly alpha men wouldn’t have an inner prison called ‘political correctness’.
Therefore, you would be well-advised to be a manly man rather than a masculine man.
Manliness is knowing who you really are, knowing what you believe and standing up for your true beliefs.
In contrast, masculinity is often used in terms such as “positive masculinity” and “toxic masculinity” – these are mainly about political correctness nowadays.
- The importance of manliness in dating and relationships:
In dating and relationships, manliness is being a decisive and confident leader in a romantic relationship.
Are you decisive? Do you make informed decisions? Or do you have to ask your partner what to do for your next date night?
Are you confident? Do you know your worth? Do you give yourself unconditional, radical self-love? Or do you question your value when someone gives you a rejection?
Are you a leader in a relationship? Do you show your partner the blueprint of your future together? Or do you ask her which direction you should go to?
Please carefully think about your honest answers to these questions and figure out your manliness now. I’m sure your growth will be very rewarding!
“How manly are you in a long-term relationship? Instead of being a masculine man, you’d better be a manly man in today’s day and age because you are the ultimate alpha male and you know your worth no matter what.”
