Meanwhile in the 2020s we have the bro culture and people talking about getting drunk with their best bros. I am 32 and tbh I hate that kind of talk, I feel like “do something meaningful with your life instead of getting drunk as you used to when you were in college”. But somehow this is what fun means to most people nowadays and forget manners and dressing professionally. Sweatshirts and hoodies are common even among people in their 40s nowadays.

The problem of red pill is the sense of self-pitiness. Those poeple say that they need to be strong and not be emotional or complaining. They say they want to be stoic but in reality they just complain all the time, support each other over minor events in their life and feel the need to cry out loud when talking to strangers about things that don’t work in their life. Also, many things they say are not necessarily true, like being emotionless is not a good thing, you need to display emotions (otherwise girls will think you are cold or a sociopath) but you should also be “cool”, calm and confident when taking decisions.

Hairstyles were short, with scissor cuts, and grooming tools included a comb and pomade.* 03:54 🌺 *Classic fragrances like Aqua di Parma Colonia or scents worn by iconic figures contribute to the old Hollywood actor vibe.* 04:47 💪 *Classic masculinity's physique focused on maintaining a slender silhouette with an athletic tone.

We are talking about how men portrayed men on the screen. No matter the era, they’re acting. If someone is on camera, it’s not ‘reality’ television. I’m a huge fan of nearly all the actors listed, yet we don’t call Cary by his real name,Archie. Connery is hands down my favorite Bond, yet it’s rarely mentioned (though Connery has mentioned it) that Richard Todd and Cary Grant were considered first but not attainable due to budget or contract. Jimmy Stewart was known for being as even keeled in combat, flying bombers as he was in civilian life. Ted Williams was known for the same consistency in character. “Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be,be one.” Marcus Aurelius Thank you for taking the time to create interesting content.

Being a gentleman is super attractive. It should be focused on protection, not aggression. As a woman, I appreciate your channel, because God knows men need to learn a few things. Big muscles are a turn off. Lean and strong is better. Knowing how to have a conversation about a variety of topics is very stimulating and aphrodisiacal. Some men really have never learned how to communicate, but they should, because it makes life easier, and everything will be smoother and more efficient. Lines on a man's face are so attractive, it really shows a man who has lived life and has had many adventures. It reveals a man who is not afraid to live life to the fullest and who grabs it by the horns. A hard-working man is also very attractive. A man who isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and show his strength and competence without a second thought is primal and very sexy. A man who embodies "I got this." ❤❤❤

I'm a follower of traditional manliness since my teenage. I actually taught tons of younger guys how to properly dress, behave, walk. I'm considered a style icon in my tiny community. This given, I have a piece of advice for every youngster out there: if you want to embrace classic masculinity, do it for yourself. JUST for yourself. And be prepared, as lots of girly girls will not understand nor like it. Do it because it's right but never expect something back

The mark of true masculinity: standing firm for what you believe is right, even when you are the only one and absolutely no one backs you up

Excellent video and advice ! I'm 73 and have been around, I stay fit by hitting the heavy bag, climbing ropes and working out on rings. I don't consider myself to be a ladies man by any means but my wife has commented often that women are attracted to me because I dress neatly, keep my hair short and am clean shaven as well as being a gentlemen. So many guys today just look like slobs....long unkempt hair, beards and ugly hats and clothing. They have no manners, no class and act like children . When out to eat, they don't remove their hats, and worse, wear them backwards like little children. I have spoken to several women, some young and some middle-aged who have stated that the young men today are immature and are not manly in any masculine sense. Great advice here guys....listen and learn. Be a man, not one of the sheep....the ladies will appreciate it and so will you.

My girlfriend loves my style for exactly the reasons you cite. She grew up with very old school male relatives, who were very dapper, who knew how to treat a woman with courtesy and to behave with gentlemanly good manners. I wore a cravat instead of a black tie to a recent dinner function we attended, and she just about soaked her panties the whole night (I think the positive comments I got from other women helped too). She later told me that her very masculine and very old school dad and uncles all wore them, and to her a cravat-far from being the rather foppish item many people would regard it as-was a symbol of old school masculinity. Old school all the way.

Very few people know that! I actually came across an old ad for Sauvage in a 1967 copy of Playboy magazine I bought at a second-hand store a few years ago, that's how I found out. I'm also a modern-day Sauvage wearer. I think it's one of the best all-round colognes out there.

Excellent analysis and gives one hope for the younger generation(like yourself) to get on the right track in a present world of confused(to say the least) younger generation.

People saying its all about demeanour and confidence but in order to be confident you feel good and in order to feel good you have to look good(ie dress well, do your hair,develop a good physique,eat well etc)

Semen retention does wonders! It will make you look more better and change your appearance and energy but the most important thing is to transfer that energy into things like gym, facing adversity each day and meditation

"It's great that we have all these different modes of self expression. Except the downside is that many men no longer have any style at all". That belongs on a mug. Very well said. Hats off

Shaft is an underrated example of classic masculinity. I also love Michael Corleone

I am so impressed by this video ,my love and best wishes from India (Mumbai )good work buddy keep posting video like this , I always prefer to stay in class most of the time

Being masculine simply means being the best person you can be. It really is all just social constructs. Just be a good person and you’ll by default be a good man. Take care of your body, be clean, be helpful, courageous, confident, intelligent, charismatic, be all of it. You don’t need a truck. Money isn’t everything but being successful helps. Having big muscles doesn’t mean much either but having a nicely built body isn’t going to hurt you.

Great vid! Those 2 are the best!

Your dad is right.

Masculinity is having a family and spending time with them.

Some classic do have some classic beards but it was not all bushy and pubic hair types it was a clean well grommed beard

Cary Grant and Clark Gable are my favorites. This was a great video!

I really don't think style is a part of it , its all about the attitude and behaviour . Dont be petty , be friendly , polite , kind . Stand for yourself and don't push others . Focus on your work , and things that are in your hand , and more importantly have fun .

I think all of those things are very important. Style is the icing on the cake. But it can also have a transformative power and make you feel like the man you want to be

Excellent watch . Thank you

James Steward and Peter O'Toole qualify as my preferred exemplars of the classic gentleman.

Honestly the style and wit of the 50’s and 60’s need to come back.

Cars too. The cars too my friend.

For me its imran khan. He is a Pakistani ex-cricketer as well as the ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan. The traits that I like about him: 1- First and foremost his mannerism and persona. He is confident charismatic, and courageous. Led the team to a world cup victory (the only one) highlighting that its not only what you look like rather what you achieve. Built several charity-based cancer hospitals, and lastly gave 22 years of his life trying to make the country he was born a better place (not to much avail). Apart from that he was an Oxford University graduate. I talk about his persona in the first point because that's what matters most. 2- His style. During his younger years he was widely regarded as a playboy. However, he never displayed himself that way. He was respectful towards women and would even reject some women's advances in the nicest ways possible. 3- His looks. He had longer hair but well groomed. No beard. As an athelete he was well built with broad shoulders and a slender body. While I understand most of you don't know him, I would suggest you lookup his early life. Nowadays, he is stuck in dirty politics which are not for classy men.

I like how you say it’s about sports not bodybuilding, but then you/editor still acknowledges connerys bodybuilding days before bond

Sean Connery: "Bond... James Bond" from Dr. No, the accent, the thoughtfulness he portrayed before saying a line in a script, his dry wit, "Excuse me but I think she's just dead" (a classic James Bond one-liner), or "I'm may be all wet but my Martini is still dry"), the unflappable way he carried himself, his thorough knowledge of everything which conveyed education, style and sophistication, the DB5 (or Blower Bentley in the Ian Fleming books), the Rolex watch (in the books vs. the Omega watch in the movies), the custom Turkish tobacco cigarettes with two rings around the tip (from the novels), the impeccable wardrobe and finally Sean Connery's sense of 'gravitas' in everything he did.

The real masculine embarks on his own path and chooses cause he wills it so. No ideals, he wears the suit jacket because he likes it, he may shave or have a beard, as he likes. Then other males may follow his style, manifesting a trend.

Having just finished on the exercise bike, I can attest to your comments about working on other sports alongside weightlifting. For long term health to be there for ones family, this type of exercise is also a must!

Not only is Cary Grant the most iconic for his style, his outfits the way he uses his body, his kinaesthetic smartness, but also for his understatement and his irony

I'm born 1991, my great grandpa(Grandmothers dad) was born 1917 & passed away 2010. I got to see what kind of masculinity he represented. He came from a time where this wasn't even a topic. It just was how it was. Being a man. He started his work life at 15 years old, back then they would fist fight for money on the side. He was the provider or his children & he came up in a time that was quite weird for him considering he was Half black & half white. He was abandoned by his grandfather who at one time owned slaves/maids. He didn't even own a pair or jeans as far as I knew, that was too modern for him. He even farmed in a dress pants & dress shirt that he has specifically for yard duties. He was quite the character, he was a real man.

this guy’s advice is on-point. thanks man!!!
