Who are your male role models?

I admire someone who can tell a random woman that she is beautiful or tell someone what they want to happen to feel good.

Two come to mind, one is a dude I worked with, he just attracted everyone. He would laugh and touch with complete confidence. I wish I was more like him. Another is someone I used to call a friend, he’s just aloof, says whatever he wants. Moves with confidence even if it’s unearned and it works.

Guys who you just know have kind souls. They’re not trying too hard to be something they’re not or not trying at all to stand out and be themselves.

Men who can do it all. I genuinely look up to that and strive for that.

I want to be a man of capability in all possible realms.

I want to be able to be genuinely kind and be confident in my kindness without worrying that I might be seen as naive and as someone to take advantage of or seen as a target or a weak man.

At the same time I want to be capable of aggression and violence, without worrying that me standing up for myself, defending the things that matter to me may make me look like a bad guy, a exploiter, a bully and mean.

These are just 2 examples. But I want to be free to be myself 100%. I don’t want to shrink to make others feel better, nor do I want to pose to make myself look better among others.

Men who live and love freely. Are generous and kind, have lots of friends around them and who share themselves without embarrassment or fear

Men who are confident and have the courage of their convictions.

Men who aren’t afraid to be vulnerable and communicate about what scares them.

People who are open about having problems just like everyone else and encouraging everyone to share

I’d say the men I look up to are confident, outspoken, assertive. Just to have a non-pushover demeanor and respectable.

My father. He works hard and plays hard. Kurt Cobain. He didn’t give a shit what people thought and did stuff his way

A man I admire intervened in my life when I was having a very difficult time with substance abuse. He shared his story and I will never forget how vulnerable and authentic he was.

My father and grandfathers all live/lived up to their values and never backed down

Geoffrey Verity Schofield is the man who I try to model myself after. The man has impeccable integrity and has worked extremely hard to get where he is and has never sold out.

One of my best friends has muscular dystrophy. He’s also one of the most confident people I have ever met. He has approached women and gotten them to go on dates and be in relationships out of the blue. I’ve been overweight most of myself and thought acting like that would come off as creepy, weird, and subject to ridicule. So I never initiate flirting or I hold back my attraction to women.

I honestly dont really have any. A lack of positive male role models has been highlighted by therapists before

One of my best friends. He is very confident and a magnet for what he wants.

A man I look up to is my uncle. He is the King of his kingdom, follows the beat of his own drum but yet still loves and provides for his wife and daughters. He is the epitome of a gentle , assertive leader. He is the main reason I also want to have my own family and live by the values I want to model in this world.

Strength and confidence rooted in who they are, and knowledge of themselves.

A man who I look up to is one of my close friends, he does things on his own terms and doesn’t care what others think
