Genuine

 

If you were to describe what it means to be a man in one word, what would it be and why?

"I would choose genuine because that to me also means real, authentic, and candid. A man should be those things. The good, the bad. and the ugly. Accepting of himself, his triumphs, and failures." 

Word: Genuine
Age: 30
Occupation: Musician/Quality Lead
From: Folsom CA

Who is the manliest person you know and why?
 
"Santa Clause, because he is happy to be himself and spread joy and cheer. He's not into body image and is pretty black and white about naughty or nice." 

Do you wish you were more masculine? Why or why not?

"Uhmm I guess I wish that I did more things that were "manly." Like, I can't grow a beard, and for some reason, to me, that means like manly.  I can grow a goatee and some patchy facial hair on the side, but one day I hope I can grow a beard..." 

What advise would you give your younger self about masculinity?

"I guess masculinity is not what the movies tell you that it is or that TV or whatever tells you that it is. Since I am a man being myself that just because daddy-daughter dances make you cry haha doesn't mean your not a man. And still, strive for the beard but it's not a make or break... Be confident about yourself it's all good... If someone invites you to go hunting go hunting. "
