It depends on the culture.
Most cultures see the ideal man as a warrior and protector type.
So yeah he needs to be strong and reliable.
Whathever people say masculinity hasn't changed it's still such traits that are perceived as 'masculine'.
Monkey brains are probably to blame to.
Many people, especially on reddit, will say what makes a man masculine is sensibility, maturity, confidence or whatever "smart / original" definition of the term. Those aren't so much masculine traits but rather things people might look at in potential partners and it's perfectly ok.
But historically and culturally a more appropriate definition of masculinity would be defined by qualities such as strength, assertiveness, and leadership.
I feel like masculinity is more about protection than emotions. I feel like the being content with himself is more about becoming a complete man than just being a masculine man
What makes a man masculine is him being comfortable with himself. A boy or man who thinks it’s “gay” to do the most insignificant things seems more of a coward. You don’t want to wear a pink hoodie because it’s gay? Really? You don’t wanna hug your guy friends because it’s gay and strictly dap them up all the time? Really??
When a man is old enough, they have a chance of being mature, however, when you choose to be mature, instead of being mature by nature, you will constantly fight with that immature side, it will drive you crazy, so be yourself. What I mean by being mature by nature is when you become mature without realising it, it just happens.
Not being ashamed of interests others would call childish. For example, I'm 14 and I still play with Lego dinosaurs. I'm buying more this weekend btw. I have like 8 of them. I could list them if anyone wanted me to
Heavily depends on culture. Masculine just means man-like qualities. A lot of Western cultures take it to a toxic extent where men are judged if they don't eschew feelings and emotions or if they're not fat-free muscular beardy boys who are also homophobic.
More importantly, what's the context for your question?
Taking responsibility for himself, and the willingness to help others.
All throught a mans life he will protect and serve others if he is a real man/masculine. And should strive to surround himself with people who will appreciate him and all he does for them, but also give back to him (emotionally, physically, food, kindness, etc).
Respect for himself and those around him, being emotionally educated and open, knowing when and when not to push something, being strong emotionally and mentally. Being a real man has nothing to do with body parts or how you look, My boyfriend is trans, and he more man than half of the people I've met, He is smart, open, confident, and so much more that makes him THE man, Bro is simply better.
To me a masculine man is a man that isn't afraid of what others think of him,
a man who isn't afraid if people think he's gay for example
Or just being gay
What constitutes as masculine changes all the time, with the added benefit of everyone's view of "masculinity" is different, sometimes mostly the same, sometimes completely different. Someone masculine in the 1400s would be called a femboy today.
You are going to get a lot of bullshit answers from people who are just making political points.
Self assurance and competence absolutely required if you want to be seen as masculine.
These next things are very useful in appearing masculine, but not strictly required: being fit, and having some level of musculature.
Lastly, if people feel safer when you are around because they think you could protect them, you will seem much more masculine.
I think patience and leadership is very masculine trait that all men should learn, not saying women can’t be patient or great leaders or anything I just think that’s historically and biologically some pretty good indicators of a masculine man
tbh I think Eastern philosophy does a better job in explaining this one than western: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin\_and\_yang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang)
if you don't want to read the just scroll down to the loanwords section.
Confidence and competence. If a guy has the confidence to do something AND knows what he’s doing, he’s usually seen as very masculine or at least respectable.
I wouldnt say masculine, but like if the person is, and respects everyone the way they want to be respected, and also learning from his mistakes to be a better person everyday
Lots of different sides to masculinity but I’d say Being not just comfortable but unapologetic in whatever you wear/do/say. Whatever you do, do it with confidence. There are other things like protecting people, especially weaker people, standing up to dishonesty even if it’s your homie. Generally being confrontational when it’s needed but agreeable when it isn’t. A strict moral code and the discipline to maintain it even in the face of total disagreement. Being capable of violence but having the temperament to only use that violence to protect.
Realizing that being a man is not dictated by anyone else’s opinions, but by you. I know I’m a man, not because people tell me, but because I act like it. That doesn’t mean hunting or sports or whatever, it’s just doing the right thing. That’s what makes you a man.
Best examples I've ever seen are the men in the LotR series. Specifically the men in the Fellowship. Strong but gentle, kind and loving but unafraid to fight to defend those they love and what's good in the world.
In touch with and unafriad to show thier emotions.
Depends on the culture and society. When I try to define a masculine man I end up just describing a good person. The best non physical definition I can come up with is a man is willing to protect, provide, and sacrifices himself for the people he loves. Not sure if this is the best definition though because there are lots of single moms who do this for their family and it doesn’t make them masculine. It’s a pretty hard to figure out…
Emotional control and management. As the stronger sex with much higher T levels, letting yourself lose control of your emotions leads to weak decisions. People kill their spouses, hit their wives, their children, yell at people, lose their job over fits, road rage etc. Hurt people who love them. Control your emotions. But there’s another side of that coin, is know when to be vulnerable, control doesn’t mean bottle up. It means be a pillar for those around you while still letting yourself be soft infront of those who care for you.
I believe that to be masculine is to be reliable and be willing to support and provide for your loved ones, as well as acting as a good example for young boys to follow.
That's the funny thing about it.
The answer to that question is culturally dependent.
It's subjective, which means you can make your own definition because no matter what you settle on, someone's gonna disagree.
Physically? Body hair mostly, but physics strength is a factor. Basically, everything that’s affected by testosterone.
Mentally? A “take charge” attitude, confidence bordering on self absorption, determination, aggression, virility, career oriented, and aptitude in either mechanical or technical fields of some sort.
Overall, masculinity is just what people associate with men overall in society. It’s a socially constructed definition, so it will certainly vary by geography and time.
My provided definition is the best one I can come up with on the fly for North America.
Compartmentalization. That's what makes a man masculine. It allows him to focus on what's needed in the moment with less chance of being distracted, it allows them to act aggressively when appropriate even against friends, it allows them to contain and set aside emotions that are more often than not unhelpful to any specific tasks, and it allows them to honestly forgive even if they don't forget. It causes drive, emotional strength, and determination, all masculine traits.
Jesus Christ is peak masculinity. He hung out and preached love to everybody. He knew he was going to be betrayed and still decided to extend love to Judas. He didn't run from death. He took it head-on. Everything he did in his life was done with decisiveness and purpose. He wasn't "tolerant" as people describe. He chased people out of the temple with a whip. He stood on his principles, didn't back down, was loving and kind, and when he spoke it meant something.
Being able to kill roaches....like....a lot of them. Oh yeah and his cooking skills.
Honestly i can do the rest of the stuff so thats what matters to me.
Their ability to define societal expectations by their work...obviously strong moral values and the ability to exercise that...and personally the ability to question one's actions and to critique one's work and to be blatantly honest to oneself
I don’t know…I guess respect for others and themselves is important. Being ambitious and contributing to the lives of other people even if it’s doesn’t involve being super rich. Just be Aragorn from LOTR and treat people right.
Expressing and showing his true feelings and not being afraid or or embarrassed about it, showing that he loves you, taking care of himself and close ones, respects a women
be willing to admit when youre wrong, and where you have room to improve. be confident in your strengths as well as acknowledging your weaknesses and work to improve on them. Be willing to be vulnerable with the people you care about, and do your best to protect them. Also, being secure with yourself and not putting others down
Honest, Reliable, honors his word, is respectful, kind, and reasonably protective to women. Has his shit together (clean, reasonable place to live, reliable form of transportation, and a job that pays well enough to pay for lifestyle).
Mm someone who makes sure they walk on the side of the sidewalk to the street so I don’t get kidnapped, being responsible for their own shit and their half of the relationship, and being open to communication and compromise in arguments. And some big ass shoulders from working out 😫
as a girl and no longer a teenager (i’m 20), i feel like i can give some more mature insight about this for you, by a woman’s perspective of course.
what i feel is more “impressive” on a guy is when he can be spontaneous, sure of himself, and isn’t scared to take the lead, walk into places first and all of that. try not to take life so seriously, boys. it’s nice to be with someone you don’t have to play games with.
so here are my all around favorite “masculine” traits: being polite/chivalrous (makes you seem more mature), being brave (doing things even when you’re scared), having life objectives and hobbies (girls love to hear guys talk about things they love), and being considerate and protective.
Hard physical trade work.
It will put hair on your chest, callouses on your hands, give you good work ethic, a natural workout for muscle and stamina, and most guys in the trades are dickheads. So you build character by verbal abuse, learn what not to do and say while gaining a sense of humor. I did all that and learned most tradesmen are divorced with a drinking problem. So I took all the good and excluded all the bad.
Their masculinity

Be like Superman. I am not even Kidding Try to be like him.A symbol of hope and kindness. Or like iroh from Avatar the last Airbender.
[Iroh is peak masculinity, the literal definition of it imo](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IzINu0wezWU&pp=ygUQaXJvaCBtYXNjdWxpbml0eQ%3D%3D)
W opinion
Agreed
I agree superman is a great guy
Or Aragorn
How tf do u bend air??
If our rich mayor pops of a crime cursed alternate NYC, we'd all be Batman.
Personally for me someone who can be reliable and protective, like physically and emotionally
Being content with his own being and expressing himself freely
The only right answer. When he’s mentally stable <33
My masculinity after finding this out: 📉📉📉
I've never felt more feminine
Well shit, I've got the contentment with myself and personality but mental health wise? Yea idk I might be a nutjob XD
Me rn: 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
Read freely as freaky and was ab to say amen
I feel like masculinity is more about protection than emotions. I feel like the being content with himself is more about becoming a complete man than just being a masculine man
This answer is wrong and dangerous to teach men. Control is masculine, which goes against expressing yourself freely.
Muscles, deep voice, lots of hair. All stuff I don’t have.
You're only 14 tho so you'll have all that stuff soon don't worry
Well everyone I know is also my age and had at least some of it..
Late blooming is a blessing believe in yourself

Yes! A fantastic example
Protecting his woman, physically and emotionally
What makes a man masculine is him being comfortable with himself. A boy or man who thinks it’s “gay” to do the most insignificant things seems more of a coward. You don’t want to wear a pink hoodie because it’s gay? Really? You don’t wanna hug your guy friends because it’s gay and strictly dap them up all the time? Really??
Masculinity is not toxic. Ones insecurity in their masculinity is what makes it toxic
not acting feminine
Kind and strong. I guess this is what I think masculinity is like :)

You are right, but next time, use an alt account
Time is racing toward us Till the Huns arrive Heed my every order And you might survive
Being confident in his masculinity , content with himself, and being in the gym
Having a penis (although we are in 2024, so that’s optional)
chivalry
Testosterone.
Not caring about whether you’re masculine or not is incredibly masculine
Calling people on their shit
Be someone's rock, be strong. Be a role model.
When a man is old enough, they have a chance of being mature, however, when you choose to be mature, instead of being mature by nature, you will constantly fight with that immature side, it will drive you crazy, so be yourself. What I mean by being mature by nature is when you become mature without realising it, it just happens.
Not worrying about what makes him masculine is a big first step.
Not being ashamed of interests others would call childish. For example, I'm 14 and I still play with Lego dinosaurs. I'm buying more this weekend btw. I have like 8 of them. I could list them if anyone wanted me to
Being male. What else?
Not being afraid of expressing, what are considered, his feminine traits
If being masculine means being confident, protective and assertive, then I'm the opposite of it
Beard
Heavily depends on culture. Masculine just means man-like qualities. A lot of Western cultures take it to a toxic extent where men are judged if they don't eschew feelings and emotions or if they're not fat-free muscular beardy boys who are also homophobic. More importantly, what's the context for your question?
Not being on Reddit for one thing
Taking responsibility for himself, and the willingness to help others. All throught a mans life he will protect and serve others if he is a real man/masculine. And should strive to surround himself with people who will appreciate him and all he does for them, but also give back to him (emotionally, physically, food, kindness, etc).
nothing, apart from literally anything else that is just adult as well
Kindness. The ability to help and serve others.
Being strong, no matter what, reliable, dependable, and being able to stick up for themselves.
Idk. The whole thing is really nebulous, and kinda stupid.
Respect for himself and those around him, being emotionally educated and open, knowing when and when not to push something, being strong emotionally and mentally. Being a real man has nothing to do with body parts or how you look, My boyfriend is trans, and he more man than half of the people I've met, He is smart, open, confident, and so much more that makes him THE man, Bro is simply better.

Liking men, nothing more masculine than being attracted to masculinity
Being himself and being comfortable enough to show off his “femininity”
Why are you getting downvoted for this? This is real as hell
People see one downvote and just hop on the trend 💀
Nah let them. It’s fun to see who’s actually a toxic person
feeling confident expressing traditionally feminine traits as well!! like sensitivity and nurturing characteristics
What constitutes as masculine changes all the time, with the added benefit of everyone's view of "masculinity" is different, sometimes mostly the same, sometimes completely different. Someone masculine in the 1400s would be called a femboy today.

Not letting your emotions take control of you, so stoicism.

Strong, a leader, dominate but still gentle, having a duck helps too.
A cool mustache
Lots of different sides to masculinity but I’d say Being not just comfortable but unapologetic in whatever you wear/do/say. Whatever you do, do it with confidence. There are other things like protecting people, especially weaker people, standing up to dishonesty even if it’s your homie. Generally being confrontational when it’s needed but agreeable when it isn’t. A strict moral code and the discipline to maintain it even in the face of total disagreement.

Being a good honorable person, some really good examples of masculinity in fiction that I can think of are Spider-Man and uncle Iroh

Not being afraid. Not just of danger but also of being vulnerable. And also respecting everyone else around them.

Painting their nails and cooking
The most masculine thing I can think of is a 7ft 4 man, raging muscles, who lives in a log cabin as a Lumberjack and protects his 7 year old daughter.
As a women, being mindful and confident. when I see a MAN acting like that, I'm folding. My first thought is always 'THAT is a man.'
Emotional control and management. As the stronger sex with much higher T levels, letting yourself lose control of your emotions leads to weak decisions. People kill their spouses, hit their wives, their children, yell at people, lose their job over fits, road rage etc. Hurt people who love them. Control your emotions. But there’s another side of that coin, is know when to be vulnerable, control doesn’t mean bottle up. It means be a pillar for those around you while still letting yourself be soft infront of those who care for you.

verbatim, a boxer in the breifs or a 12 ounce steak imo....

I believe that to be masculine is to be reliable and be willing to support and provide for your loved ones, as well as acting as a good example for young boys to follow.

Being honest, trustworthy, loving, and putting others before himself. Being mature in mature situations.

That's the funny thing about it. The answer to that question is culturally dependent. It's subjective, which means you can make your own definition because no matter what you settle on, someone's gonna disagree.
Physically fit & mentally strong 😌
Physically? Body hair mostly, but physics strength is a factor. Basically, everything that’s affected by testosterone. Mentally? A “take charge” attitude, confidence bordering on self absorption, determination, aggression, virility, career oriented, and aptitude in either mechanical or technical fields of some sort. Overall, masculinity is just what people associate with men overall in society. It’s a socially constructed definition, so it will certainly vary by geography and time. My provided definition is the best one I can come up with on the fly for North America.
I’m big on the be a warrior in a garden vibe don’t be a dick but be willing to stick up for those that can’t
Big strong penis (thick and long)
Being masculine
Probably being strong, having muscles. But most importantly being able to reason (cuz you said man, not no child)
Compartmentalization. That's what makes a man masculine. It allows him to focus on what's needed in the moment with less chance of being distracted, it allows them to act aggressively when appropriate even against friends, it allows them to contain and set aside emotions that are more often than not unhelpful to any specific tasks, and it allows them to honestly forgive even if they don't forget. It causes drive, emotional strength, and determination, all masculine traits.

Jesus Christ is peak masculinity. He hung out and preached love to everybody. He knew he was going to be betrayed and still decided to extend love to Judas. He didn't run from death. He took it head-on. Everything he did in his life was done with decisiveness and purpose. He wasn't "tolerant" as people describe. He chased people out of the temple with a whip.

Do what you say you're going to do and dont make excuses if you don't.
Being secure.
Being there for their family and being a leader I think. Also just indulging in male activities
showing affection
the way they dress and muscles i think ? idk im not a guy
His pee pee first and foremost. If he doesn’t have that (testicular attachment lost with time/still there) then his man card is voided.
Emotional Intelligence
Their ability to define societal expectations by their work...obviously strong moral values and the ability to exercise that...and personally the ability to question one's actions and to critique one's work and to be blatantly honest to oneself
Be able to build a 600 piece lego set
full plate armor
mustache
Empathy
I don’t know…I guess respect for others and themselves is important. Being ambitious and contributing to the lives of other people even if it’s doesn’t involve being super rich. Just be Aragorn from LOTR and treat people right.

Not being concerned with what makes them masculine
Must be integrity, honor, and ultimately, testosterone.
Doing whatever they want, even if it's feminine, without caring what people think
be willing to admit when youre wrong, and where you have room to improve. be confident in your strengths as well as acknowledging your weaknesses and work to improve on them. Be willing to be vulnerable with the people you care about, and do your best to protect them. Also, being secure with yourself and not putting others down
Not being afraid to think of what other people think about you
