You Must Sacrifice THIS To Claim Your Masculinity 

I get it, I've been selling drugs since I was 15, because of that I made enemies of other gangs and even the police but hey at least I stood for something

@@diogocourinha4943 No, man. Quotes do not work like that. You just want to feel worthy of your actions. There is more courage in doing good deeds than bad ones. Do not be lazy and don't blame your situation, so you have to excuse yourself.

And that Lion was killed off by the one that he called "Sheep", not to mention, that "Sheep" was his own son, based on the way he treated Tyrion.

@@Paganichi That should be obvious, man. A lion means the ones in the high positions. Sheep means weak ass people. And the strong always think they are "Strong" until they got themselves killed by someone even weaker than them. That's why "Few stood against many" and "The Weak defeats The Strong" also exist

@@MichaelJayyKRUMPS Then you got it. Tywin thought highly of himself, without knowing any better. And for Tyrion, i think the word "Wolf" fits him more, but that depends on how you wanna call him, so it does not matter.

Don’t underestimate a cornered animal would apply to Tyrion.

Not entirely true tho I get the messege. A firefighter entering a burning building to rescue a kid is very much a hero without having created enemies.

@@kevinvandenoetelaar5880 You may be taking the word "hero" too literally, because a firefighter is absolutely a hero by virtue of his heroic deeds.The figurative use of the word here represents a lifelong self development journey, one who honestly and decisively embarks on a path and fights for his beliefs. The main idea of the video is to stop being a one-size-fits-all people pleaser, and to honestly decide on one's values.

@@kevinvandenoetelaar5880 It's nice to call firefighters heroes, but in the literal sense they are not. They are trained to go into fire during dangerous situations and do exactly that in exchange for money. I'm sure there are plenty of firefighters who posses 0 heroic qualities. I'm sure there are more than plenty of firefighters who left children to burn because they lost their cool.

So every politician is feminine?

@@nordichellas3155 In systems that reward broad support over deep support, yes.

@@nordichellas3155 Yes. The only “politician” that’s masculine is a king

I think the “don’t care about what other people think” mindset should be taken with a grain of salt because most people need a minimum level of likability, popularity, and social circle size in order to have good mental health. “Just don’t care what they think, bro” is pretty trash advice for friendless outcast loner males; they need to raise their status and likability to gain the social connections necessary to get the things they want in life.

@JJ Bookman ...I don't think it means what you think it does!

@JJ Bookman how about you clarify things for us and point it out whats wrong the comment i just made

Just by personal experience, I have to disagree a bit with Jordan Peterson at this point. I think women are generally more agreeable than men with strangers. Men are way more agreeable than women with family members, partners, close friends, and even their own children. At least that is the case in my family and social circle. I'm wondering, what is your personal experience about this topic?

@@janschneider8647 It's not Peterson's opinion. There's a lot of psychological research and literature that shows that women are more agreeable on average. Of course, this is the psychological trait agreeableness, so it might differ from another definition. I don't mean to disagree with the rest of your comment. I need to think about it more. Just saying that agreeableness has been studied, and he's just quoting literature.

​@@janschneider8647Can you explain to me detail why are men are the one who's more agreeable in the family?

*Let's go bold!*

Some women may be attracted to you initially because of your masculine boldness. But very sensitive women might not be able to handle it in the long term. Especially women who really care about what people think of them.

Doing what someone on the internet tells you because you think it will get you chicks isn't exactly "bold".

@@tannerhuxtable6118 Maybe he wants to become more masculine?

@Anthony Thompson Fair. Nor is it masculine

Most women like a masculine man, and always have, but they still want to be able to control him... like a tiger on a leash. It doesn't work that way.

Ezekiel Watters I know they do, sadly. In doing so they’ve given up their true power. I don’t know why a woman would prefer to do the things, when all she has to do is be a lady and her man will do the things for her. She handles domestic life and the home, and he slays dragons for her and for their family. Pretty simple. But that’s a bygone era. Women have been brainwashed to think they need the same power that a man has, without realizing the power they already had that was complimented by the man’s power, and now it’s all screwed up.

@@kimmywimmy7305 Your in tune with your femeninity

@@kimmywimmy7305 It wasn't perfect--nothing in this world ever is--but it was a pretty sweet deal all things considered... a pragmatic division of labor that played to the strengths of each and compensated for their respective weaknesses, but most of all it allowed men and women to breathe and simply be what they are and do what they were created to do: support and compliment one another while providing a healthy stable environment in which to raise children. Today's kids are the real victims of the current state of affairs.

Ezekiel Watters you’re right, it wasn’t perfect, it’s definitely better than this broken family situation so many are in. Yes, kids are the true victims. Kids are not “resilient.” Kids adapt to survive, but they get damaged without that basic foundation. Then they grow up and have to deal with the damage, or not deal with it and continue the cycle.

I blame F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

I haven't seen a "man" since the 80's. They simply don't exist anymore. There are men who try to be "alpha", but it's not the same, it's a cartoon exaggeration based on fantasy. Being a dick is not being a "man".

There's a fine line between "opinionated" and "asshole."

Are we equating opinionated with masculine?

Umm opinionated isn’t always masculine. Confidence is quiet and insecurities are loud.

He's good at explaining r types but not K. It's interesting to hear his take though.

Here here

I don’t think I’ll ever understand a man that doesn’t want his masculinity. If ur group doesn’t like u being masculine I’m gonna guess it’s ur group that’s the problem. There are very few girls that want a guy that’s weak or things along that line.

George Bush are you handicapped or did you just not watch the video he talked about how some men didn’t want their masculinity so they would appeal to people, because people wouldn’t like their masculinity.

Oh I thought u said 'barista' and I couldn't figure it out 🤷‍♂️

I noticed the best of the best lawyers, especially those who defend the accused in court are all men.

Even among them, there is distinction. I'm training to be a lawyer and I have to pay attention to my agreeableness, because I can be a real b*tch if I need to be. The lawyers I respect and trust are assertive and disagreeable, but also kind people to a certain degree. The ones trying to fake it with hypermasculinity are obvious to spot and very neurotic.

@@shawnellemartineaux6212 The trick is, if you don't know something, then don't take a position (open your mouth). But if you know for sure you are right-Then be assertive and as disagreeable as you like, the difference is either arrogance or confidence ("arrogance" is misplaced/undue confidence).

You're no clown. Well said.

I’m confused by feminine men. Like if you act girly or have earrings? Or you are thin and not muscular? Or is it more about personality or maybe both.

@@travis6694 acting feminine means seeking approval of others

​@@travis6694 Think of all the things that make people uncomfortable/scared in life, but would be helpful to master. Stuff like public speaking, dancing, working out, removing the filter on your opinions, etc. Masculinity is about seeing one's fears as challenges to be conquered. Women at their core are afraid of risk, and you can see through certain clues that they just don't get the same satisfaction from accomplishment as men do. They would rather be WITH a winner than become a winner themselves, but what it takes to be a winner changes with the times and your own personal situation. You have to be flexible without looking for excuses to not get ahead. You can still look feminine while acting masculine, but usually the masculine drive to succeed tends to manifest itself in the way you look as well. So if you see someone who looks feminine to you because of shrimpy arms and soft voice when talking to girls, it is most likely tied to a lack of masculine drive that would have otherwise motivated them to work out and deepen their voice to display confidence. Part of what makes it so complicated is simply because our very feminist society doesn't want to acknowledge the benefits of masculinity. They try to confuse the issue and frame masculinity as being emotionless and sexually compulsive. Actual masculinity would encourage mastery of one's emotions/compulsions, but to many women admitting they tend to not have such self control is offensive so it's easier to just demonize.

As a man being feminine is a guarantee of not being liked but being masculine has the potential of being liked by some.

You could also say that focusing on one's looks is a feminine trait.

​@varmastiko2908 not necessarily. All people are looks based in order to assess if someone is a threat or worth their time.

So... if the person was taller, would you worry?

Facts

yea bro lone wolf straight

Same 💪 sometimes a lonely road is the path to a strong destination

With battle scars

Being a lone wolf isnt anything to be proud of, the idea is a flawed way of modern thinking. Men especially need tribes to help eachother grow.

It's easy, just stop thinking of what people would say and do only what you think is right for you. Be honest, straightforward and don't waste your time. That's quite hard actually :-)

@@alexmashkin863 it’s not easy, but it’s simple

Here's a false Christian who believes in evolution and not creation

You are partially right, yes it's true that men should be judges and should have strong values but not many men are like that. You will often find pseudo alpha-males that are a big shot when it comes to talking and say what they think without a care if the other party is offended. They quite often verbally confront others, specially nowadays through social media. But they quickly back off when the stakes are real, like a physical fight. Of course in ancient times a man should also defend his ideas through force when needed. Naturally, this also leads to "might makes right" and the raise of tyrants to the leadership of their tribes. So is a balance. A man should be masculine enough to express his ideas without fear, strong enough to defend his ideas through force but also diplomatic enough not to put everyone against him and intelligent enough to recognize when he is the wrong. This lead to a code of honor among males, like dueling in ancient times. But we lost that in modern society since fighting each other became a crime.

he never claimed that you shouldn't admit when you're wrong and be an ignorant/arrogant ass... he just let you know that part of being a man is saying things and having opinions that others won't agree with.. you don't have to be a dick.. just be you even if it means you'll lose all your friends

You have some points but a man is neither emotional or insecure, those are traits of a woman.

@KK C exactly, of course in today's society we don't fight anymore unless is absolutely necessary. But in ancient times, it was different.

You have a point here in what an alpha is however I'll add this: An alpha is someone who is fully invested and committed, really think about this because a lot of people don't get this. There can be weak alphas including the fact that not everyone is 100% all the time. A great example of this was that there was steel work here in Ontario years ago the moment the work dried up divorce shot up 100%. I say this so people can see that essentially not every woman can be fully invested and committed in her family or union, it's just temporary. Yes an alpha is a leader they will decide for the pack. Decisions are always a security issue which is inherently a MALE TRAIT 96% or higher. An example of a decision is whether they would come across two mushrooms and one is poison and one is not. They then will decide which mushroom is safe to eat for the group. If they choose wrong they then like you said correct themselves, where this knowledge spreads and permeates throughout the group. However there can be the chance that one mushroom while poison doesn't affect you right away, but over time it will! This is still a security decision where male foresight is highly crucial to the group's survival and way of life and whether the group acknowledges their leader and trusts them. I'll give you a real life example! I dated this girl once who had a job, she tried to get me to work there with her, but I sensed something was off about the female store manager who gave the interview. She wanted me to *Commit/invest right away (use my alpha self).* Later on the girlfriend told me of a problem that had arisen I can't remember the details but the brown guy and another white guy had left the store. To my knowledge they were the backbone of operations and she couldn't keep them. They had found another job and invited my girlfriend to join them at another job I remember her indecision, but I remember my answer, I told her to go with those men! A few months later she would find out that the manager of her former store had messed things up so much that she was essentially not allowed to hire people anymore and was only store manager in name again I forget the details, but this was the best example I could draw from memory. You can find these traits in any male which is why I say every male is potentially an alpha. Finally I will say this for people who continuously harp on Beta. Like alpha there can be strong alpah's and there can be weak alphas the same goes for beta. The major difference is beta usually is in the realm of not being so committed or invested. They can even be below, on par, or better than alpha they just wont commit or they just don't give a hoot. This doesn't make them weak usually because like being on any team you're going to have to be able to tangle with and against other teams and their alpha's! Final point which many of you have seen as a leader or the alpha many people will want to be alpha or see themselves as alpha or like them. Remember beta doesn't always necessarily care for such recognition. Women cannot determine who is beta or alpha she can only sense what she likes and does not. Leave the judgment up the men who have real stake in the game!

yeah but then again it’s more feminine to cling to safetiness

women pay the price regardless if they take an alpha or beta. If they take an alpha she will have to accept far stricter boundaries. If she takes a hardcore beta she is going to be repulsed by him. It's the hybrid that works best for thjem but even they are rare.

@@polishpimp4233 if she takes an alpha she’ll never have to pay for a thing for the rest of her life and will accomplish every goal she has vicariously through him. If she takes a beta she’ll be repulsed by having to tell him how to do all that for her without asking. A woman will always resent a man for not being an alpha.

It's how women feel about feminine men
