How To Be A Man

Learning how to be a man in today’s modern society can be intimidating. What's even more intimidating is the world of dating. Women appear to be confident, sexy, and out of your league. This can make the modern man lost for an identity or a reason for existence (think of Hamlet’s eternal question). But, there are a couple of simple rules to follow to be a man in today’s modern world that haven’t changed much from our fathers and grandfathers of the past. To be a man, you need to posses the right stuff, know how to treat others in a fair manner, and keep a self-composure that doesn’t fret over tomorrows worries but instead focuses on the task at hand.

1. Be confident. The first step to being a man and landing the happiness that you desire is to be confident in yourself. Being confident in yourself includes your ability to achieve your goals, display a strong outward and inward appearance, and to be able to exuberate confidence in your every day actions. If you lack confidence, then you will lack the basic foundation to be a man in today’s modern society.
2. Know what and who you want. If you are confident but don’t know what you want, then your efforts are wasted. If you’re looking for that perfect soul mate, then you will need to know exactly what you’re after, how to get it, and what you will be satisfied with. This also includes knowing what your girl’s desires or wants are too. If you choose to ignore your partner’s desires, then you’ll fall into the stereotype of being like “every other guy,” which in this scenario is not a good thing.
3. Be cool in every scenario. Being cool, calm, and collected in the most stressful situations is the calling card of most guys. Having the ability to be confident and collected when the storm is beating on the windows of your heart (or a literal fixture of such a hyperbole) will allow you to be the man in which everyone aspires to be.
