      Its a cute soundbite from Peterson but false nonetheless. Men need brains WITH brawns. Unfortunately, too many men are porn addicted morons who focus on videogames but not personal development. Men need to learn how to read, go to the gym, focus on financial literacy, boost their resumes, and develop actual interests beyond their Call of Duty kill ratio. Ambition without wisdom gets you nowhere.

    I always found C. S. Lewis' description of Aslan to be a good template of masculinity. In his first book of chronicles of Narnia the beavers are talking to the children about aslan and the children ask if he is safe, and Mr Beaver replies no but he is Good. That has stuck with me for a long time as I think this is important for being a dangerous man, Being Good.

Anger is a bad feeling, but doing something to express it, for example yelling or punching something is the part that feels good. Even if it’s letting yourself take that anger and put it into mere thoughts feels good and is a way to express it within yourself. You just have to be careful because if you take these thoughts or actions too far it can become a serious habit and cause damage.

    The trick is to feel and accept the full range of your emotions without reacting to them. Anger is ok, killing someone is not. The unwillingness/resistance to feel your emotions is debilitating. That’s the idea.
    The steadiness of his attention and his ability to channel his emotions is what makes JP extraordinary.

      ADHD is another barrier that seems to afflict boys more so than girls. I'm not sure what is meant by "disagreeable," but I suspect it's another generic term for improper behavior. My mother always believed that rigorous competition and sports helped boys. They needed some kind of physical outlet and that is good for their physical and emotional wellbeing. I happen to agree, though I'm not a boy. I couldn't really compete sports wise, but I did compete academically. I wanted too be smarter than everyone and I laughed at boys out there chasing the ball in the playground while I pursued other sorts of creative outlets. I consider myself lucky. I've had it easier than boys. Life has been easier for me than for most boys.

    It's strange to me this dichotomy between men of their brotherly kinship versus how violent they are to each other over trivial things like what Freud called the "narcissism of minor differences." The tragedy of paterfamilias was the loss of the brotherhood turning man against man over millennia of perpetual warfare between disjointed rulers. It's good to see men trying to rebuild it.

    I have to agree that being able to communicate effectively, in both speech and writing, is vastly important. The ability to speak to people at their level so they can understand and comprehend your point, without bringing emotion into it yields wonderful results. Avoiding the violence with reason and communication is highly beneficial, because there is always risk with violence. However, there are times when someone will not be swayed by prose nor logical argument, and will in fact be incensed by it, taking it not as logic but as condescension or perhaps arrogance. In those instances you will find yourself with violence being brought to you regardless of your communication skills. At that point, you need to be able to inflict grievous harm upon them, without remorse nor thought of fairness. You dole out pain and suffering to belligerents far in excess of the insult they offer, when you want to win the fights that have not occurred as yet.
    Being a man who can think and speak effectively is only part of the equation. You also need the discipline, knowledge, capability, and experience that comes with training to inflict that grievous harm. The competent, capable, highly trained, and thus very dangerous man does not venture out seeking a fight, as he already knows what he is capable of. The weak, insecure, and undisciplined males are who start the fights, outside of conflict over resources which brings an entire new element to the subject. The weak and insecure have something to prove, to themselves and to others, as they are desperate to appear powerful and capable.
    They often speak very highly of themselves, yet have precious little experience with violence. When the weak minded and insecure pick a fight with the competent, capable, disciplined man they have no idea what they are fucking with as they initiate, and its only after the fight is over that they realize how poorly they chose. It often makes them angrier and more violent towards others, but every so often these tin pot tyrants who accuse others of being exactly what they themselves are, will learn the hard way.
    The weak and incompetent seem to follow the same patterns, bluster, accusations, ad hominem, shaming language, belittling, demonizing, and then employing others to effect violence in their stead. They are incapable of doing the job personally, so they have underlings or others who are easily manipulated do it for them. False accusations lead to police forces being the tools of the tyrants who cannot handle it themselves.
    What do I know though, I am just an old, broken, gray haired, fat looking, military grunt who builds old hotrods out in the woods. I am harmless, unassuming, usually affable or quiet, perhaps even comical in appearance and demeanor. I agree that the world needs more dangerous men, who are capable of inflicting great harm, but refraining from doing so unless there is a threat that warrants the violence... and its not up to governments to decide when its warranted... as they are often filled to the brim with the weak, ineffective, and incompetent.

      @@earlgreystoke3324 most people stop when the other is beaten, in my experience that leaves them insulted and they develop a rage about losing to someone they thought they could beat. They will roll it over in their minds, tell themselves the winner had to have cheated, and will often return to try again... sometimes with friends.
      That is how it plays out with bullies on the school yard, people who want to act tough in early adult life, sometimes later in life, and is what played out in Europe between 1918 and 1939. It was am armistice, letting Germany go but then punishing them further, which only incensed the population. They were not beaten, they simply ran out of resources. It was inevitable WWII would start, for those and many other reasons.
      This is something a young man learns as he defends himself against one or more bullies. If you only beat one just badly enough they stop, the other will keep coming. If you really throw a beating to the one, the others will notice and not fuck with you. e.g. winning the fights to come. In 1945 Germany and Japan were reduced to rubble, it was obvious they were beaten, and the nukes let everyone else know who was the big dog. 77 years of peace in Europe is the result. A weak ineffective dementia patient is all that was required to end that.
      How badly you must defeat them varies, no need to kill the drunken idiot who starts a fight with you while he has his liquid courage coursing through his veins. However taking him out very quickly and efficiently, without having any difficulty, will let everyone else in the area know who 'not to fuck with.'
      You should realize by now that I am not referring to conjecture or esoteric academic assertions/thoughts. I lived it.
      Backstory: I am 52, grew up on a farm in the 70s and 80s. I am number 2 of six kids, my parents never divorced. Mom passed in '14, dad in '20. My older brother is one of those weak minded, ineffective types, so proud of his mediocre accomplishments, and always needing to put down others to make himself look better. The last 3 and I think the oldest had a different father. Long story.
      My brother derived great joy in seeing me suffer. When I was six months old, mom found me screaming on the floor with a seam ripper buried in my back. Three years later he poisoned me by telling me Sanaflush was candy. Shortly thereafter he told me to hide in the dryer, then told mom to turn it on. That was just the beginning.
      As the years went by, the beatings I got from him increased in severity and frequency. I was run over by farm equipment, bludgeoned with the dirt packed root ball of corn stalks that could be swung like a mace. Beaten unconscious several times. He and a neighbor kid were throwing electric fence posts at me on a couple occasions, hitting me in the head and nearly costing me an eye. So many TBIs before we knew what they were...
      He wrecked his car one night in 1983, and would not allow me to wear my seatbelt in his car, I ate the dash and got my face customized, missing teeth, shattered nose, lots of scarring as my gum line was peeled back and my head smacked the glass. I've spent over a hundred hours in dentist chairs because of that damage. I am on my third dental bridge. I have endured decades of pain and PTSD because of him.
      In 1985 I had been wrestling for four years, and farm life had packed some muscle on me. I still had to work with him and any time he felt like it I took a beating. One spring day in '85, we were loading up some hogs so he could take them to market before school. He hit me a couple times because pigs are unruly when they know they are going to die. They are kinda smart. I left the barn, and went to wash up.
      He came running after me, hit me in the back of the head, knocking me down, and told me to get back there and help him. I stood and said no. He hit me again in the nose, and down I went. When I came back up I had grabbed both of his legs below the knees and lifted him off the ground. I dropped him on the sidewalk going to the farm house. He got up and went to swing at me again, I did a fireman's carry, picked him up on my shoulders and dropped him. Put him in a headlock and hit him in the head a few times. He demanded I let him up, so I did and he took another swing. This time I did a double leg takedown, picked him up, and body slammed him on the concrete front steps of the house. If he had gotten back up and taken a swing at me again, I was going to smash his head into the concrete the next time. I left him there and went to school.
      Later that fall my dad, who had been beating on me when he was frustrated, when thanks to Carter in the 70s and 80s was often, found out that I was not someone to try to hit. Dad kicked me until I could not move in front of the daughters of our neighbor because I could not run through knee deep mud chasing sheep. He once wrenched my neck so hard he left bruises all around the back of my neck. The last time dad tried to hit me, he swung back to slap me, and I gave him a half power hit to his sternum. He went down like a ton of bricks, and didn't get up for a while. He never tried to hit me again after that, which is a good thing, because at 17 I was 170lbs, 5'8 and bench pressing 265lbs. At 18 I was benching over 300.
      I got messed within school as well, hurt some kids, but not real bad because they had more of a problem with my brother. It was rare for me to have a day without someone trying to hurt me. I'd expound but this is already long.
      I qualified for state wrestling in 1987 at 167lbs, and on the way there I broke two kids arms, cracked several ribs on other kids, and knocked one kid out. Not trying to, but I was somewhat rough on the mat. I could beat everyone on the team, including the heavy and 185lb guy who ended up playing nose guard in the NFL for Jacksonville, Carolina, and Denver. The 185 took state his junior and senior year, because he had to wrestle me in practice and he got damn good having to be fast and strong.
      I enlisted in 1988, I had left the farm in 1987 after I graduated. I was neck deep in the Gulf War 90-91. Several altercations came after that in the civilian world, none of which were started by me, but I finished all of them. Stopping just short of ending someone or putting them in intensive care. No need to go to jail, but they knew for damn sure not to mess with me.
      I am a generous man, I treat people well, I do not threaten nor coerce people, and I try not to be intimidating in public. My nature is not prone to violence, so many people assumed I was harmless and an easy target. Since 2005 when I was injured on my last deployment, and after being an NCO, honing my leadership and writing skills, its quite rare that someone decides to start something with me. Having a 60" chest and 21' arms, with a 21 neck and 40" waist probably has something to do with it. I am built like a silverback gorilla with longer legs and shorter arms. To look at me you would never expect much intelligence, and I tend to downplay my abilities. I prefer people underestimate me, and assume I am harmless.
      They don't need to know that I have been in more fights than I can possibly count or remember. I am only that man when I need to be, and if I need to be at this age when everything hurts for weeks, I am going to hurt them severely as fast as I possibly can. .. and I can still inflict grievous harm, efficiently, and incredibly quickly despite my limited physical mobility. 500lbs is something I can pick up and carry. Couple that with 6 years of wrestling, including a year at the base level stationed in Germany, and all the experience in fights, you could say its not a smart move to mess with the old fat guy.
      Combat sports changed my life for the better. Actual combat felt like home the first time I experienced it.
      I know bullies, I know capable men who can severely harm me... but the thing is, the men who can take me out are also disciplined, trained, and experienced, they don't start fights either. They finish them.
      I would rather build old muscle cars, have fun racing with the kids, and spend time with my Siberian huskies... one of which wants to go out right now. I raised her from a little furball, she can tell when I am having a rough day from PTSD and stress.
      I like dogs far better than people.

    Physical prowess cannot be separate from the power of speech. Think of the language used: Where do you "stand" on this issue? What's your "position" on, say, Climate Change? It has to do with your posture. Being strong and confident in where you stand in your shoes is prerequisite for making a convincing argument. Its not about aggression. (though it's a deterrence tool) If you're a man who can easily be knocked over you won't be able to stand by your convictions very long when pushed.

In my dream, I and two guy friends (they were both somewhat taller than me but we were all still around average human height) passed by on the street two men who were absolutely colossal. I'm talking 30ft tall at least, if we were a normal five-and-a-half to six feet tall. By our reactions, this was a rare sight. I never found out what made those men so huge before I woke up and I've been interested ever since in what sort of traits a metaphorical colossus would have in real life.
