My mate is a role model! He’s so chilled and calm about everything ! Everyone just seems to gravitate towards him and he offers the best advice
My friend is so confident sexually without any hang ups and is also very disciplined in life.
Anthony Bourdaine and Scott Galloway seem to own their own masculinity without pretension, they know who they are, what they value and stand up for themselves
I admire men who are deeply committed to their sexual significant other. Where they show their confidence in their feelings for their SO in a low key, quiet manner as opposed to being loud or attention grabbing.
A lot of younger men are actually my role models. They can be self-affirming to the point of a fault, but there’s a vulnerability in that which I admire deeply. It seems to say that trusting oneself is a learning process, that everyone needs and has permission to make mistakes. Self-trust just seems manly as fuck to me.
I admire men who can deal with their beloved one’s lack of libido when they enter menopause, and they can stay strong and confident, without questioning their masculinity or their attractiveness, even without having sex nor getting sexual attention or any intimacy for a prolonged time with their significant one for that reason.

I admire from my male role models the fact that they are kind, but are never afraid to say what they want or why they want it. Carry themselves with a quiet confidence.
My first boss Alan. We have stayed in touch for 20+ years even though I left the field. He is creative, vulnerable and open minded. He is accomplished professionally but is also always working on some aspect of himself, and giving his time to serving others as well. Beautiful human

I think it’s just the people that I surround myself with - they are all people that live very much on their own terms

Men who are compassionate about their own lives and the people around them. Those who are courageous, trustworthy and honorable.
Men who walk their talk. Show care and love instead of merely saying it. Men who show up and can get off the couch for you or invite you into it with them if they can’t.
My father. He’s compassionate, caring and puts his family first.
