Anyone who doesn’t let society/friends/family dictate who they need to be and who just does what feels right for them
True Bitcoiners and cyberpunks. They don’t trust but verify. Code is speech. They are often the smartest and most humble people in the room. Family values are important and what the rest of society thinks can be damned.
Jason Wilson is a great role model of a comprehensive man for me. He has self control and a vision for himself and his life. While his path isn’t necessarily sexual I find myself drawn to the confidence and power he exudes, and his strength in softness
Henry Caville, he is unbothered by being the nerd he is… he has also turned down advances just because they liked his looks.
Ryan Reynolds as he is ultimately himself and unabashed that his humor comes from trauma.
No one in specific, bbut a man who is in touch with there emotions, in touch with what may deemed their more feminine side, but is confident in that - in a more traditional masculine sense. That is who i strive to be.
I don’t have a specific role model in mind, more so that I can relate to characters rather than people. Qualities can include, compassion, empathy, can express negative emotions, can communicate openly, who’s not afraid to discuss hard topics or challenge masculinity.
My father and grandfathers… strong willed, determined, respectful and loveing.
I don’t have anyone specific in mind but I appreciate a man that it’s honest, that doesn’t hide his feelings and emotions and that is happy to explore new things without trying to find out if they are masculine enough or not
My dad really challenged the script of being an unemotional stoic focused on making lots of money. He was an artist and stay-at-home dad who was very open with his feelings and would patch together various projects to make a full-time job. I don’t know much about how he approached sex, but I wonder if I can rewrite my sexual script in kind of the same way.
My father is a huge role model to me. My mother died when I was a toddler so he has always been my avenue by which I can learn more about her. He’s open to being vulnerable, talking about things that are difficult to him, worked his ass off and was always attentive to my interests growing up
Gordon Ramsay, Ryan Gosling, my uncle. They are so confident, I believe they can exude confidence in bed
I never really had a strong male role model, so I idealised this macho picture given by media
Honesty, humility, strength
A co-worker, who is gentle, intelligent, and not afraid to express affection and admiration for other men (or anyone)
Tony Stark, he is cool and well-liked. Jason Momoa or The Rock, they take care of their families and act as themselves. They’re all cool and confident.
Fictional: Captain America, Optimus Prime
Real life: Benjamin Franklin, Harry Truman, my grandfathers
All of these men were strong leaders who did great deeds for their fellow man
Nick Saban, Pat Mcafe, Andrew Huberman…Confidence, compassion, leadership, self comfort self knowledge
I have no male role models.
Harry Garside, he’s a boxer with a goofy smile, kind of effeminate side that he’s not afraid of showing, and nice 1-2 combo
