look at his daughter, her relationship with men. you'll see what kind of man he was
there are many ways to approach this. firstly a man is socially & biologically wired to strive for dominance in one form or another. physical strength has played a large role in this and continues to do so, but to an increasingly lesser extent. it's also rather straightforward. so i'd like to focus on personality.
what makes a true man?
i like to simplify, and will start by doing exactly that. in my head a man is kind, confident, empathetic and compassionate. these are qualities that follow from a healthy ego, which is in turn a result of the successful fulfillment of needs.
i hope this is a good baseline. it's also a neutral-positive one, which i find fitting to open with. undoubtedly there are many types of men, and i'd like to hear from you which ones
ripped off the idea from Johannes Maikowski's thread on men's routine
A Dick.
I guess if we removed all societal context and went to the raw base of gender. We could find that a true women would heavily rely on men that are strong, dominant and assertive. They would be very sexually provocative, submissive but also they would be very defensive and anxious. Basically a women is the complete opposite of a man. Think of men, our manly gender ''constructs'' are strength, assertiveness, violent and prone to extreme anger and are very mentally tough and are also extremely self motivated. Women are the opposite of all of this.
Men need to suck dick to prove that they don't need women to pleasure themselves.
We dont need to prove a damn thing we can just suck dick and pleasure ourselves

There's nothing gay about a man sucking dick.

A man is someone who knows what he wants and what his values are. He doesn’t allow other people’s negative opinions influence his wishes and he doesn’t feel like less of a man for doing something that people say or think makes him less of a man. He is secure enough in himself to make other people feel secure in themselves and he can protect his chick. A true man is ready to adapt to his surroundings to accomplish his goals. Whomever marries me will be a real man because I am the center of all hated on this site and they have to overcome all of the terrible things people will say if they want to marry me. They have to be really sure about who they are and what they want. That’s why I’m not sure if I’ll ever get married.
So you're a man then?
Yes

Are these the qualities you saw in your ex?
No, also, I’m not a man because I can’t protect anyone. I forgot about that.

The fuck are you even on about?
Read out to me what you were trying to say as an insult.
What's so confusing about it?
I’m just curious as to why you would say this in this exact situation. It just doesn’t come off as an insult and obviously there is more to being a man than just what she listed.
why are you so insistent on it being an insult? i dont think tc was trying to insult you
I wasn't, in fact I was talking to CS.
Essentially I was saying that CS is looking for herself in a man, in spite of how much she publicly puts herself down to get less flak.
I don’t publicly put myself down. I publicly think about things that I believe are true about myself that could be seen as negative qualities.

You used to say that you do, and that that's how you couldn't be a narcissist.
