Quite common personalities. But today about everyone, not just about the rams. You can find some of these quotes on social media. networks, a little on WiKipedia and a handful in books. But there is no repository that brings them all together. We finally decided to create such a collection.
When it comes to quotes about masculinity, you might think that they address different qualities of masculinity, i.e. quotes about courage, strength, responsibility, etc. But what we were aiming to do here is to limit the collection to the concept of masculinity. We hope you enjoy our work.

How to be the master of your life? The main thing is to be courageous. It is important to define for yourself what masculinity is and make your own list of necessary masculine qualities and rules.
Masculinity, masculinity, a man, as well as a "real man" are all extremely subjective and do not have a precise definition of the concept. Therefore, I consider it important to independently determine for myself what masculinity is, how it manifests itself, make up your own list of masculine qualities and rules, keep it up to date and, most importantly, follow it. This will help reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of manipulations like "men don't do this" or "a real man should ...".
Instead of dozens of the most diverse properties and qualities, I have derived for myself one simple motto - I am the master of my life. For all questions about masculinity, about how to act in a given situation, I ask myself one simple question: "How would the owner of his life act?" and independently find the answer, which I recommend to the reader as well. It is important to create an inner attitude, to be imbued with such a vision of the world and really feel like the master of your life, and not just occasionally remember it.
By the master of life, I mean a person with the following qualities:
willpower and self-control: determination, perseverance, control of disturbing emotions, courage, strength of character, the ability to overcome difficulties, fears, and the like;
independence and responsibility: take responsibility for your words and actions, for achieving your goals and position in life, self-sufficiency, the ability to provide for yourself and solve your problems;
self-esteem and self-confidence: feel comfortable in yourself, consider yourself complete, respect and love yourself, accept yourself as you are, with all the advantages and disadvantages;
Masculinity in dating and relationships
In my opinion, a good and kind person will be of little attractiveness to a female if he has little male character traits. From here, by the way, follows the opinion that girls are more likely to like some kind of "bad guy" when in fact they just need a full-fledged man, which the "good guy" is not always.
For the manifestation of masculinity in a relationship with a girl, all the more there are no clear instructions and rules. I believe that the role of a man in a relationship with a woman is universal and applicable wherever there is a leader and a follower: the attitude of a parent to a child, a teacher to a student, and a leader to his subordinates. In other words, which also work well for the motto - be an authority for your girlfriend. And for all the questions about how to behave with a girl, I recommend asking the question "how would a loving parent, teacher, authority in this situation act?" and independently find the answer, getting used to this role.
Important points of this universal role:
to be a leader, initiator, create and control a situation, lead, offer, but not command or demand;
to solve problems, to protect, to take responsibility and to care - to help do what a person finds it difficult to do himself, but not to serve - not to do what he himself can easily do;
to be independent, giver, not needy and dependent;
do not beg;
not letting yourself be disrespected;
remember about humanity - not to be selfish, dominate, humiliate and think only of yourself, but to be loving, caring and strive for joint happiness;
It is not at all necessary to always be an authority in everything. In cases where the girl is more competent, it is better to transfer leadership to her. But since some girls regularly try to lead, subconsciously testing their partner's masculinity, it is important not to change roles forever. Otherwise, it is highly likely that she will stop seeing you as a worthy man and lose interest in you.
Hopefully, after reading this article, you will come to the conclusion that masculinity is as important as intelligence and humanity to a happy and harmonious relationship.
A courageous person can be either a man or a woman. Nowadays, a courageous woman is no longer a rarity. The only difference is that society does not expect masculine traits from a woman, while in a man they are assumed for granted. But not every man is courageous! What is masculinity and how to raise a man in yourself?
Masculinity is an ambiguous concept. There is no single correct definition of masculinity in science, there are a lot of them. At different times and in different cultures, different meanings were put into the concept of masculinity. Needless to say, each person defines masculinity for himself in a special way.
Everyone has their own ideas about what should be a real man... These ideas are formed from childhood memories (the figure of the father plays a particularly important role), personal life experience and are based on the ideal image of “I” (if we are talking about a man) or on the image of an “Ideal man” (if we are talking about a woman).
Unfortunately, in our time, masculinity is often confused with aggressiveness and rudeness. Young men sometimes think that they will look courageous if they acquire a few bad habits (such as smoking, alcohol abuse and censorship) and behave rudely, arrogantly, and rudely. But masculinity is not aggressiveness!
Masculinity Is a personality trait that combines certain character traits, abilities and skills, namely:
The list goes on and on with many more wonderful and respectable qualities!
To clean psychological the concept of masculinity is very often added to features masculinity and a real man is called one who, among other things, is physically strong, strong, has pronounced male secondary sexual characteristics (beard, low voice, etc.), that is, a masculine man.
But you need to understand that a masculine man not always courageous. Masculinity is a psychological characteristic, while masculinity is a complex of externally observable characteristics that distinguish a man from a woman.
But of course masculinity and masculinity closely connected between themselves! For example, if a young man decides to go in for sports in order to be physically stronger, he will undoubtedly develop masculinity, since playing sports involves the development of some of its components, such as willpower, endurance, hard work, and so on.
Courageous man- a mature male, both physically and psychologically (as a person).
The masculinity of a man manifests itself in his attitude towards himself, towards other men and, of course, towards a woman. Concerning relationship of the present men to woman, here everything seems pretty simple and straightforward. A man should be able to look after, take care, help, respect, provide everything a woman needs, and so on, but in reality everything is not as simple as it seems.
The fact is that in our time, the overwhelming majority of women, consciously or not realizing that cultivate masculinity(after all, this trait is common for both sexes) and they do this in order to be able to survive in society (mainly in order to find a job and build a career). A woman who is able to fully provide herself with everything necessary on her own, strong-willed, self-confident, active, able to be a leader, physically strong is respected.
But in matters of heart and family, female masculinity hinders very much modern girls. A courageous girl needs an even more courageous man and often cannot find one. Due to the fact that a strong-minded lady does not find a worthy man for herself, or, having found him, she still considers him not manly enough, often arise gender-role conflicts.
Modern women often simply do not provide an opportunity for their men to show masculinity, and then they themselves complain about this shortcoming.
For a deeper understanding of the problem of gender-role conflicts, read the articles “” and “?”.
Developing masculinity requires practicing self-education... You need to purchase the necessary knowledge, skills, skills which in turn will lead to the development of those character traits that make up masculinity.
Most importantly:
Every woman dreams that her chosen one is courageous! After all, only next to such a real man can you afford the luxury of being just a weak, gentle, kind and beautiful woman.
What is masculinity in the true sense?
Hello dear friends), today a few words about the most mysterious. About masculinity. The main feature of true masculinity, I consider self-respect, how much is a man able to respect himself? What it consists of, let's discuss.
Why does this male self-respect depend? In fact, all this should not depend on anything. And often, on the contrary, self-esteem and self-esteem depends, but on what it just does not depend)
In short, I will sum up - what exactly is a courageous man.
A man respects, does not suppress, does not adjust, does not oppress, etc., everything is not, he respects and recognizes a woman. This respect builds on an understanding of gender differences, socio-biological goals and objectives,
True self-esteem and self-esteem are independent of various variables. Since there is no point in asserting oneself, manipulating, dominating, humiliating other people.
Those people live by their goals, values, lifestyle, which may differ from that promoted in society, psychological independence from criticism and approval. They value love as a significant and positive component of a healthy and fulfilling life, but besides this, there are other interests that are no less important.
These male personalities have healthy self-love, different interests, job satisfaction, hobbies that are not the core of his self-esteem and self-esteem.
They understand that they do not have to be an outstanding "navel of the earth", and some life failures are not perceived by them as fatal, they study, are engaged in education, have a specialty and a favorite job.
His life is like a mountain river, compared to the life of his perfect friends. He is responsible for his life, feelings, mood, is not afraid of loneliness, with loved ones he has no dependence, but there is reciprocity. Well, of course, sports, although this has no direct relation to masculinity as such, it is just that a reasonable person understands that playing sports is beneficial and useful.

Masculinity is a trait that is very good for men, but is more and more common in women these days. If we turn to the dictionary, then this word is determined by a set of qualities that, according to universal human ideas, should belong to a man: courage, courage, strength, stamina. However, such a set is able to decorate any person.
There are many different points of view about what true masculinity is. Generally speaking, people who have the following list are called courageous:
Many women in our time do not want to be fragile and sophisticated at all - they are ready to make decisions themselves, be responsible for their words, show willpower and confidence in their actions. However, this is not given to everyone, and some only dream of becoming courageous. In this regard, the following recommendations can be made:
As you work on yourself in this way, you will notice that over and over again it becomes easier and easier for you to show masculinity. Thus, you can easily develop the desired trait in all its manifestations.
In addition to the positive aspects, developing masculinity can bring some problems to your personal life. The fact is that a person who makes high demands on himself makes them to others as well. This means that if you are not near 
too courageous a man, you will not be able to be with him, because against your background he will suffer from a lack of a mass of qualities that you have developed in yourself, or received from birth.
It is more difficult for courageous women to find a life partner for themselves, since these days a courageous man is not so common. More and more of them do not understand that the word has been given to be restrained, not to indulge their weaknesses, and everything in this spirit. It is quite difficult to respect such a person, and sometimes it is impossible to re-educate such a person.
And yet, even with all these complexities in mind, masculinity remains an incredibly important and respected trait. Therefore, if you are not afraid of such difficulties, feel free to work on your character and gain inner strength.
