There are complete books and entire websites dedicated to providing an answer to this question. They all in some way go through and expand the topic to be much greater than what it really is.

What is a Man? or How to be Manly? so many websites dedicated to this and I am completely tired of all the lies they are spewing.

What is a Man? Simple.

"A being that can thrive anywhere."

Why do we preach lifting and fitness here? So that we can thrive in any physically trial.

Why do we preach reading and understanding? So that we can thrive in any mental trial.

Why do we preach frame? So that we can thrive with women.

Being a man isn't about survival it is about conforming our environment to benefit ourselves so that we may thrive.

Go out this year and thrive. Best of luck mates.
