Personally, I have no desire to be a super masculine, macho guy. I hate facial hair, I scream like a girl, I'm not very athletic, I don't lift weights and I recoil from spiders. All those things doesn't make me any less of a guy.
😂 nah ...guys like u are funny too hang out with ! you're 💯 right tho. I'm a skinny guy and kinda small but always was stupid strong and into ..what you see me into on my channel I guess. I hate when they label straight guys that aren't like that " gay" . nah . I'm actually gay. ignore them and keep doing you. be yourself dawg 😊. most of those guys you see tripping with facial hair in vids ain't even about all that. it's all theatrics.
You are here, embodying the highest idea of masculinity! You've figured it out. Cleared eyed self assessment, serving a desire to be ever better, and fully yourself. Strong, confident and eager to be a positive contributor, while, at the same time keeping a protective eye on those struggling around you.
God created you Malachi! You are becoming the young man you want to be, stay on the straight and narrow, you-are beautiful-you-are loved. He will continue to bless you.
In time you will appreciate your youthful appearance. When I graduated college I was turned down for jobs because they thought I looked too young. But time caught up with me and it will for you too. You're doing great - just give it time.
Good vid. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Remember not to be too hard on your past self cause you are young af and still going through it all. But it’s impressive to see your growth and ambition. I also like that you still hold onto your kindness, I think that may set you apart from a lot of other self improvement or philosophy discussing UA-camrs.
Man I feel the same way I am 17 and basically look and act like a child really just realizing it is important and progressing that is exactly what I am doing I can't control that I look like a child it's in my genetics so accept who you are but also realize and try your best to progress it is a process for us young adults
You don't look at all like a girl. You are very good-looking. You need to gain more confidence as to who you are. You are intelligent, nice, and the type of person anyone would like to have as a friend. What state do you live in?
I think it's more about being uncomfortable with themselves over comparisons. You are extremely self-conscious Malachi, and obviously brilliantly present. That's a double-edged sword IMHO. I think indoctrination is the crisis of our times. This is a time of life where you create you. Allow your creative soul to help you build your castle in human history. Great vids btw.
Cool video, and a good perspective. As a teacher, I try to understand where my students are coming from, and you're definitely helping me with that. Your video reminded me that when I was younger, I also struggled with the same issue. I remember thinking about who the role models might be for a masculine way of being that wasn't over-the-top macho. At that time, my short list included Sting, Tom Hanks, and George Clooney. Definitely way outdated for you, but you get the idea...
Thank you for stating your opinion of masculinity today. You have every right to say what you say. If people are offended , that is from their own insecurities.
Hi Malachi I saw two of your vlogs and I hope to see more in the future. I think you're very intelligent, that you're more advanced in maturity then your peers and that you're extremely perceptive. To have the insight to see girls from today and compare them with girls two hundred years ago is amazing. 25% of all suicides these days, are reportedly, young guys aged 16 to 25 and researchers don't know why. I think it's because the young guys, just don't know how to feel like they belong. There has been so much reversal of what a young guy should be today, that they may feel emasculated by girls and young women dominàting them. I think it's so sad and it tiies in with your overall topic. Talk again. Fergus Dublin Ireland
Its a confusing time for us males, lack of good male role models, not a clear place in society and the family unit, dont worry what others think, you are unique and thats the way you were made celebrate it - sending blessing brave subject
I enjoyed your video very much,, Malachi! Thank you for sharing your views and feelings! You're awesome and very special, and it means a lot that you share ! God bless, Brother Charles Pratt, O.H.
Do whatever you need to make yourself feel comfortable and like yourself but there's no need to project that stuff on everyone around you. Just let people exist.
This whole video honestly made me feel more and more sad at the state of things. You are entitled to your opinion, but I find it absolutely abhorrent personally to embrace traditional gender roles, especially in a modern world. You mentioned that “200 years ago, men were the ones on top of things.” 200 years ago, women had no voice, no power and weren’t allowed to have a sense of belonging or purpose that was outside of what the man of the house needed. Women couldn’t vote, and their roles were strictly to serve the man, watch the children, and do other things while stuck in the home. This idea that women men need to get back to a more “masculine” time is just so painful to hear in an era where women are gaining more power and control, while having to fight for their ability to even have children or not, and it’s incredibly difficult to watch happen. You’re part of a young generation, why would you insist on wanting to be more masculine and express a desire to go back to a time where the man’s needs and desires came first? Women are strong and wonderful and amazing people, and their ability to handle a workload and still provide for their families is absolutely incredible. I work with a lot of women who show men every day that they’re strong and worthy of being seen as more than a pretty face.
Yea, I am not sure if I fully understood the video. By the title, I assumed it was about resembling a girl in a physical sense. When I was young and with my mom or grandma, people would comment on what a cute daughter or grand daughter I was. Yet, this vid was not about that. Was this about perceived societal pressure to be less masculine/ more feminine? This type of thought process.... I would assume, emanates from a very traditional or conservative religious environment. I grew up a long time ago when there was tremendous pressure to conform to the male stereotype. It wasn't good.
I think from this short video that you may have a calling to help many young men. We often have to go through a challenging experience before we can help others. Great insight and video. 🙏🙏🙏On your continued journey.
Masculinity and femininity are subjective. Just saying. Meaning in one place what is described as feminine can in fact be seen as masculine. Grooming (haircuts/etc) would be seen as a feminine act in many parts, yet we do it almost daily, weekly or monthly. Or you can be a guy, not into sports, and be labeled as you’re not “manly” which is absolute nonsense… Or reverse a girl playing sports is manly. Hence why today whenever a girl has even a little bit of muscles, transphobes will cry they are trans… Happened in the Olympics for example.
Point is, don’t feel like you need to fit into a specific group or category. Everything in life is a spectrum. You can like sports, but not play it. Etc.
We are all unique in or own way. You are perfect as you are. Just pursue your dreams man. Whatever that will be. The rest of you falls into place naturally. If I may say, being here and sharing your thoughts is masculinity itself. "Trying" to be more masculine? Interesting issue. You mean like trying to walk like John Wayne? Lifting weights at a gym to show off to others? Owning a Harley hog? Riding a motorcycle without a helmet? Slapping a girlfriend's behind in front of others? I could go on. But I'll savor in the so far examples, lol. I try to find a humor in issues like this because believe me, I used to worry about what others thought abouut my mannerisms. But now, I could care less what others think. Someone that would be critical about me being myself is definitely the furthest from my best friend, lol. Everything about you I know of you from here is perfect, fine, admirable, impressive. Be you man! 👍😎
Nothing about him or anything he said even comes close to the ridiculous exaggerated examples of being masculine you ticked off. Nor did he focus on ways to change the way one is perceived. If you listen to him you'll realize he's talking about an interior state of being, he's expressing empathy for other males that are struggling internally because he knows how they feel. He's equating masculinity to inner confidence assurance and a robust enthusiasm to get out into the world and accomplish stuff. He's got it figured out. He doesn't need your backhanded encouragement dampening his message with the exaggerated mis characterizations of his thesis
@@BelleOmbreGrey Hi Belle, my apology if my thoughts might have offended. I try to be free-spirited and thought I was showing some humor with that. The world is too small, and life too short to purposly offend anyone. Take care.
@@BelleOmbreGrey That is not how I interpreted it. He said splitting checks with a female was crap and glorified how males were in total control at one time. In addition, he alluded to the existence of societal pressure today to act like a girl. At first, I thought the video would be about building inner confidence. No, it was a statement about returning to a time of male dominance. A masculine male, in my view, is one who does not feel threatened by the power gains made by women.
You're projecting your thoughts onto everyone. Be who you want to be, thats fine. Theres definitely a commin trend in videos with people like you who project this and blame it on "society".
I sincerely hope we can and will, as current-day humans, worldwide, overcome our collective uncertainty about ourselves. So much bullsh*t happens today because of it. And no, going back to how things were 200 years ago is not the solution.
Labels are hard to avoid. Accepting yourself and feeling comfortable in your skin takes time. Maturing in both body and mind takes time. You have more testosterone flooding your body now than you have ever or will ever have~. Isn’t this the typical realization of most young men?
You wanting to be more masculine is a masculine trait. Don't rely on external stuff to confirm how masculine you are (e.g. gym, diet etc). You are born male. Enjoy being male without overthinking it. Overthinking it is a sign you are insecure. Just get on with your life. Develop those skills that are important to you irrespective of what others (male or female) say or do. Simplicity itself (not overthinking) is masculine. Be in the moment. Embrace your present, how you are now. Be proud that you don't look like a girl anymore and congratulate yourself that you made the changes you felt you needed. That's all. Now, move on! :)
It's what's on the inside that counts. Confidence in oneself builds character and self assurance. Weight lifting, testosterone, and body shaping, while good for your appearance, are not going to fill that void you speak of if you don't also work on your confidence. Also I don't wish to make a woman believe she can't do for herself. I try to treat both men and women equally. It's called equality.
Hey, I like your videos. Have you done any in the last week or two? Also, I notice you don't reply very often to anyone. This is a pity, really, because youtube videos are surely all about communication? Anyway, be happy - and good luck!
Masculinity is best done by not caring what the tv tells u or what a pop star sells u. Men who like to wear pink, shave and read fashion magazines have the amount of balls that a man who does something like stays hairy and reads car magazines. Also by the way a man looks, you don’t know that since that guy has big muscles is going to like and do “masculine” hobbies and activities. He may be into textiles and knitting and that guy who that u would think as feminine mah be into the “manliest” stuff like woodwork and car mechanics. Just by how someone looks does not determine their femininity or masculinity and the less people start to worry about this useless, minute details, the better things will be. Listen to sex yeah by Marina and the diamonds, it really explains about what society views sex as and sex as in males and females, not fucking.
I’m not sure you’re using the most precise language. Are you trying to be more masculine, or are you trying to act more like an adult and feel like an adult? When you were young, did you feel weak and afraid and maybe you didn’t look like a man? Happens to all of us. I’m not sure that that means you looked or felt like a girl. I think that means that you were young. I also don’t think it needs to apply to other young men around you. How you feel is not necessarily how they feel. What if you aren’t trying to be more of a man but you’re trying to feel strong less afraid and in more control? There is a natural process all kids go through to become young men and grown adults. Are you blaming society for a not al natural progression? When you say traditional, do you mean religious or moral?
This whole video is really confusing... are you telling me there's now a social mandate to be more girly? Are you sure it's not the other way around and you're just now falling into that mandate?
Yeah, I think he was talking more about feeling like he had to look like a wimp, i.e. not threatening, because he was afraid of his own subconscious aggressive impulses.
growing a daddy beard and some body hair took me from lookin big gay ngl to like hella manly and dominant, hopefully some day your babyface will grow some actual facial hair lmao would look dope on you probably
You are arbitrarily attributing behaviors as more masculine or feminine, while ignoring how it was for women not even 200 but 100 years ago in your comparison, i think you are right on the feeling that there is a lack of positive masculine presence in media and in some people's household that make them look for one that preys on that lack of masculine presence, but society still does that pressure to be more masculine thats why you feel the obligation to act more masculine, it is just mixed with the modern ideologies, so it creates this two "forces" that contradict each other and creates wierd toxic behavior like feeling emasculated by the success of the opposite gender or complaining about splitting the bill while being the more logic action? Idk i think is something to think about why it is that way, and what is the more logocal way of behaving in an advance society.
How do you know how much of your behavior is influenced by social pressure? Its impossible to know unless you live in a bubble. I disagree with your assessment that you look like a girl in that pic. I don't see a girl. You look a bit uncomfortable but if your arms were around their shoulders you would appear much more confident. Worry more about being a good person rather than gender norms. Just my personal opinion.
Never be embarrassed by the way you are. NEVER. Being Macho( masculine) has absolutely nothing to do with the way you look. It has to do with the way you act. Boys to Men being Macho are Honest. Valorous. Tolerant. Patient. Strong( Mentally, not necessarily physically), never have fear, are affectionate, kind and understanding. In that picture, you do NOT look like a girl at all. You just look like a very typical boy of your age. Do not let society tell you how to look. Big mistake. Just be yourself, and be PROUD of it. You mentioned the way that many young guys are becoming. The reason? Americas pro-female woke society is just ruining young American boys. Don't let this happen to you. In the Mexican countryside where I live, boys still rule( thank God), and we really don't have that kind of problem. Girls are girls. Boys are boys. And the others are others. And everybody get's along just fine. Never try to conform to society's vision of how you should be. Good video. Keep it up.
I don't get what the belly aching is all about. Kids are tools when they are at that age. It's normal. Just be nice,...be kind... and don't give a flyin F**k what other people say!!
it seems like you are trying to be more masculine and thats awesome! lots of guys these days arent and, like you said, would rather play video games all day instead of work outside. people might get offended by this, but society is taking away masculinity in men, and pushing feminism like crazy. i think everyone should have a good work ethic, but, biologically, men are stronger than women. men should be out there working harder than the women. Jesus can help you be more confident and help you grow into the man God wants you to be. dont be ashamed with how you used to act or dress, but focus on the now. idk how old you are, but everyone goes through an awkward stage when they are younger and trying to figure things out. trust me, i used to be the most tomboyish girl you could ever meet, but now, as ive gotten older, i am very feminine (though i can probably outwork most guys lol). i thank God that He has helped me become who i am today, and i know he can help you on this journey, too!:)
The person we need to imitate is Jesus Christ. He is perfect and we are not. We may live in this world, but not of the world. We are called to be set apart. This world continues to decline and move away from God...We can't control the world, but we can control ourself. The world will continue to decline until Jesus comes back. We don't know who we are until we know whose we are aka a child of God. We are created by God for God. I ask how many times do you eat a day? Well shouldn't you read the word and pray just as much to maintain your spiritual health?

I don't see a girl. You look a bit uncomfortable but if your arms were around their shoulders you would appear much more confident. Worry more about being a good person rather than gender norms. Just my personal opinion.
Puberty sucks
Never be embarrassed by the way you are. NEVER. Being Macho( masculine) has absolutely nothing to do with the way you look. It has to do with the way you act. Boys to Men being Macho are Honest. Valorous. Tolerant. Patient. Strong( Mentally, not necessarily physically), never have fear, are affectionate, kind and understanding. In that picture, you do NOT look like a girl at all. You just look like a very typical boy of your age. Do not let society tell you how to look. Big mistake. Just be yourself, and be PROUD of it. You mentioned the way that many young guys are becoming. The reason? Americas pro-female woke society is just ruining young American boys. Don't let this happen to you. In the Mexican countryside where I live, boys still rule( thank God), and we really don't have that kind of problem. Girls are girls. Boys are boys. And the others are others. And everybody get's along just fine. Never try to conform to society's vision of how you should be. Good video. Keep it up.
What a load of garbage
@@sjames1955 Yup, you must be one of those "woke females". lol
Hello👋
It hasn't worked.🤷♂️🤣

it seems like you are trying to be more masculine and thats awesome! lots of guys these days arent and, like you said, would rather play video games all day instead of work outside. people might get offended by this, but society is taking away masculinity in men, and pushing feminism like crazy. i think everyone should have a good work ethic, but, biologically, men are stronger than women. men should be out there working harder than the women. Jesus can help you be more confident and help you grow into the man God wants you to be. dont be ashamed with how you used to act or dress, but focus on the now. idk how old you are, but everyone goes through an awkward stage when they are younger and trying to figure things out. trust me, i used to be the most tomboyish girl you could ever meet, but now, as ive gotten older, i am very feminine (though i can probably outwork most guys lol). i thank God that He has helped me become who i am today, and i know he can help you on this journey, too!:)
Amen to that
Acting … yep that’s the real problem
Nice.
The person we need to imitate is Jesus Christ. He is perfect and we are not. We may live in this world, but not of the world. We are called to be set apart. This world continues to decline and move away from God...We can't control the world, but we can control ourself. The world will continue to decline until Jesus comes back. We don't know who we are until we know whose we are aka a child of God. We are created by God for God. I ask how many times do you eat a day? Well shouldn't you read the word and pray just as much to maintain your spiritual health?
Why aren't you imitating Jesus Christ?
Jesus would f-ing hate you!
Stop trying to convert people
@@teddyhawkins6256 I'll never stop spreading the Gospel Jesus Christ is life. It is through Him we have eternal life! He died for our sins! He's the only way to Heaven!
I just push the kush . it's God's work bruh.@@kylesmith4202
