If you take the Cartesian product of these three with the wolf / sheep / sheepdog thing, you'll find that there are actually 9 types of men.

I say you’re less of a man than the trannie that brews coffee at the local Starbucks OP

I find no need to reassure you or myself of my manhood. If I did I would jack my truck up, grow a beard, post pics of my hunting trips and speak in an absurdly deep voice so that you knew full well that I was super alpha manly man.

Youre at least more manly than Waydown South. That’s not saying much

Guess I need to order some Duluth Trading Company attire so I can make up some ground.

Clearly


It’s the first step to putting one in your mouth. A virtual gateway to homosexuality.

most of what you say is pretty accurate but the quote above shows you really have no clue of the war we are in and don't understand what life really is all about.

#2 is far more common than #3 from what I've observed. So #2 is actually the regular guy.

My perception of masculinity as a boy was that men were above all else supposed to be HIGHLY COMPETENT. For me, that meant technically and mechanically adept- able to work with tools and build and repair things, etc. The problem was that in a family of the mechanically inclined, I had no aptitude. So I began to see masculinity as meeting PHYSICAL CHALLENGES head on and excelling- particularly girls and sports. Then I began to see it as EXPLORING RISK - doing manly outdoor things that required courage. And then I saw it as being a PROVIDER. And all these years later I see it as being FREE and INDEPENDENT of the whims and expectations of other people.

For each man, I think this is different and there are far more than three “ types”. There is quite a gap between Audie Murphy and Richard Simmons.

I look weird in bright colors. Everything I own is grey, blue, black, brown etc. I don't even own a red shirt much less a pink one

I've got a teal-ish fleece vest I got on sale. Color usually don't matter to me if the price is right, though most of my clothing is black or white.



I'll wear any color I'd the price is right.

Same here. Perhaps age and not finding the need to gain the approval of dad or what society thinks is the driver behind that thought process.

4) The man who knows who he is and doesn't need nor allow anyone else's opinion to influence who he is. The guy who quietly enters a room and can assess who is a threat, who could be a threat, where the exits are and goes about business.

If you want to really know the types of people they are sheep, wolves, and sheep dogs - Education

How about a man who will just do what needs to be done and not worry about how some random arse people choose to label him?
