I don't have any particular beef with what you wrote, I think that was basically my blue-pilled 'good man" goal and approach to being a husband and father, but I would like to point out that the majority of what you wrote has to do with how a man can best serve the FEMALE imperative. I think you described the Good Man prevalent in the West. This is what most men strive for. And it certainly benefits the family.
I would suggest there is another kind of Strong Man. He may be ruthless and have narcissistic tendencies and be a philanderer and an absent father and driven and in the service of things MUCH more demanding and sacrificial than the family unit. He may be a warrior. He may be an artist. He may be a business titan. But he has to bring ego and drive and the willingness to crush other people and their goals. And he might not be a "Good Man" but he is certainly a Strong Man.

Yes they do.
At a young age I taught my sons not to cry out in public unless they were injured. I taught them to come home or go to a private space to let out those overwhelming feelings because the world is full of cruel people.

Yep men cry.

You are quoting strong in the negative. I am approaching strong in the positive.

Was Patton weak? Alexander the Great? Napoleon? Steve Jobs?
No, they were strong men, willing to sacrifice everything for their mission in life, who lived by their own code. Were they "Good men", loving, warm and supportive of those around them? Certainly not.
The error here is in the premise. The world is not divided into Strong men who are good men and Weak men who are bad men. One can be an exceedingly weak man, a human doormat and still essentially be a good man. We see these type people every day, my most beloved Uncle was this way. Or one can be a strong man who changes the course of history, wins wars, innovates scientific and technological breakthroughs that serve mankind and yet who has exceedingly bad traits. Humanity does not fit neatly into two very Western, blue-pilled categories. Most of us choose to aspire to this idea of "The Good Man" described in the OP, which is just one prevalent category.

You are right. Strong men just are. A very Zen comment for sure.

Yes, that's my point. You are describing The Good Man who may also be strong. Because all those traits you listed are sacrificial and in the service of others, which might denote strength. And certainly, make for a good husband and father.
The Strong Man is entirely different and can have positive or negative traits. He may be good or bad. Sounds like you have a good Strong man and I applaud that. That's what we should aspire to while we also thank God for strong men like Jobs and Patton who operated outside your simplistic false choice and improved our lives tremendously. Cheers.

No I am trying to have a post celebrating men. It seems like men don't want to celebrate men. They want to attack each other. What is so amazing to me being a woman is how many men on this board complain about how the world treats men yet when the opportunity to have a real discussion celebrating the value of real strong men comes along you just can not embrace it.
I guess the world won this time and the queers and nazi feminist did beat some of you down so bad that you do not recognize admiration and positive uplifting language.
I am amazed at the behavior of some of you.
