Why Having A Great Attitude Is An Essential Part Of Manhood

I know when you read the title the first thing that you did was probably roll your eyes and I wouldn’t blame you. As a matter of fact if I saw the same headline in most places I’d roll my eyes as well. But this site isn’t most places. At best you are thinking having a great attitude is nice and all but it doesn’t have anything to do with manhood. I am here to argue that it does. When I say good attitude I differ from the mainstreams “version” of a good attitude. Namely a Pollyanna almost drugged up outlook where everything is great and fine regardless of reality.

Your know that woman who is one her third divorce at forty five yet thinks there are good things ahead of her. The weak French man living in an all Muslim area thinking his wife and daughter will be fine as long as he loves diversity enough. That is not what I am talking about. When I say good attitude I mean optimism, I mean he always has a smile on his face, he can stand against the world and not be beaten or broken by it. He is always ahead because he is strong. Because he is a man.

A Bad Attitude

When many people think of the males in their lives they make think of grumpy, angry, bitter, and pessimistic men. They may even associate these traits with manhood and being manly. When the opposite is true. Letting the world get you down is a sign of weakness and is not masculine as weakness is not masculine. Some men wear their “bad attitudes” like a badge of honor. Always whining and complaining and talking about how bad everything is. They don’t talk to others, they walk around with their head down or a scowl on their face.

This is no way to live. Now however I must prevent another error. When people think of a good attitude on women they think of Pollyanna no basis in reality good attitude which is not what we want either. This is not what I mean by a good attitude. It doesn’t mean thinking everything is going to be alright when it’s not. It’s not burying your head in the sand and hoping for the best. Hoping will never get you anywhere only action will. You are a man only women and children can afford to be passive in this life as a man may take care of them, you have no such luxury.

A Good Attitude

A good attitude means having confidence in yourself that you can do something. It means when face with overwhelming odds you don’t whine or complain but get to work. You fight and struggle with a smile on your face. You are stronger than the world and though it tries its best it cannot beat you down for you are a man. The world may be falling apart around you but you know that you will make it through. You are a source of masculine energy for others, when others see you (who you approve of and like) smile while your enemies tremble. That is to be a man.

Not walking around all pissy at the world and down. But with a smile on your face and your chest held high. Proud, even though everything may be against you. As long as you have your mind and your balls you will prevail. You probably remember the stories of the men who when faced with death smiled or laughed. This is the attitude that I mean. Being angry and pessimistic is not being masculine. It is being weak which is not masculine. You are in control of your mind which is in control of your attitude and mood. Make your mind submit to you as it should.

Summary

Having a good attitude is an essential part of living a full masculine life. Without it you suck the life out of yourself and others. No one wants to be around someone who is chronically unhappy and pissy, especially when it is a man who is supposed to be strong and unaffected by the world around him. The rock that weathers all storms. The mountain who laughs at the tornado. This all starts with your mind. Mind plays an essential part in masculinity. You must learn to control your mind to get the most out of your life and fully become a man.

Attitude is an often neglected part of becoming a man fully and completely. Most of those who write on masculinity (including those who are on the mark) often miss essential traits. Some even are proud of their grumpiness and anger. Two weak emotions. As any trained fighters know anger weakens you. I’m not saying don’t be emotional, there is a time and season for everything. But your default mood should be positive with a cocky smile on your face.
