this man as described sounds like a super hero. As a man just don't take anyone's BS however it's disguised. When you know yourself you will also know your own limitations
he seem to be talking about the Ideal non-toxic man, I for 1 know this is rare, BUT a Sigma Male (very rare man) already knows all these traits, and exercises them unlike 99% of men around him. Amen.
A real man in my opinion doesn't seeks a lot of validation from others and have the guts to call bullshit and have a spine to support his values of life irrespective of someone likes it or not.
A little advice, take it or leave it. Don't say "A real man." That is such a farce and aimed at emasculating others if they don't fit your own pet description. There are levels and spectrums on everything, including masculinity. But a "Man" (REAL) is an adult Human Male! Period! I would suggest finding a different way to say things. A healthy person, including a male, exhibits what you described. And there are a plethora of other qualities one may come up with that are healthy masculinity for a man to learn.
Thanks once again for videos like this. I will be 58 in 9 days and I had to learn what masculinity, trust and confidence is in just the last few years. So, although it is mostly younger men that have the challenges, I am one of those that had to learn in our 50's. And just so you guys know, I am still learning it and part of those things are accepting that my inner sexuality is perfectly normal and to accept who I am inwardly.
but first you move past the emotional shock and then you discover that you have that insecurity. once recognized, although it can be hard, you find solutions to heal your insecurity.
I saw the statement somewhere that men are being treated like broken women. Of course this begs the question, if that's a fair way of thinking then why aren't women treated like broken men?
By definition, Masculinity is like ʻAdultingʻ. Children are usually more like their Mothers, and with TIME and DISTANCE from female chaos, lies and manipulation, this thing called ʻMasculinityʻ can be cultuvated, developed, refined and so on. God bless, 🌞⚖️🌘
When toxic masculinity comes up I ask the person what part of femininity do they consider to be toxic? They usually steer it in the direction of some people are toxic, not the entire group. I think we need to push back and do the same.
The irony is here that all the masculine qualities that evolved in men is because that's what women look for. The mate preferences of one sex will determine the characteristics that are passed on in the other sex. Men’s behavior is, to some extent, the result of female sexual preferences. If women didn’t want to mate with masculine men, these traits would have been removed from the gene pool long ago. Woman looked for signs of commitment and that a man has the means to provide for her and practical needs to also be met that would benefit her and her future offspring and ensuring their survival. Women who made good mating choices were the ones who succeeded at passing on their genes. Individuals who are well adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than those who are less well adapted. Our female ancestors also preferred male partners who could offer physical protection to them and their young which is why greater height is seen as an attractive trait.
One of my sisters called my dad toxic the proceded to steal all of my dad's pictures of his grandson out of his house 🏠 like it would affect him through pictures. She was mad my dad was blocking his ex wife 🐄 from taking everything he had.
Only the fools feel that vanity leads to certainty. Only the awake know that authenticity leads to just that despite uncertainty. Courage is not moving forward as if you have all you need. Courage is moving forward despite you having nothing.
I try to pass on my knowledge to younger men in these chat rooms, but sometimes you run across an arrogant fool who knows it all. Those types you’ll never get through to.
I am who I am. Like it or not. Most of the time when I am not in my own comfort ,I am an actor. It's just easier to be the jester of the court, then needing to explain myself, because someone is offended. 😊
I’m finding a very difficult time maintaining a true to myself honest masculine frame and working a corporate job. I am able to be masculine when not working but at work along side female coworkers, self flagellation is the expectation and any sign of true masculinity is seen as cocky and distant.
Unless you have a strong patriarchal leadership that puts the women in their place, that's the norm in the corporate world. Any man who's assertive, competent, holds his staff - especially female ones - to account is seen aa toxic. The only way to survive is to be as feminine as you can to fit in with the wimmin. And of course the wimmin can and go crying to the press about 'toxic work culture' if an unapologetic male boss held them accountable.
The meaning of an organisms existence is to survive and propagate it's genetic material, the same as all other organisms. it's the reason we have all these senses. why we evolved and why you exist. Had your ancestors not procreated and ensured their off springs survival you would not be here today. Humans evolved as social creatures to ensure survival of our species. Humans evolve to live cooperatively to live in herds then communities together and this is advantageous to all the human beings in the community. It's only through cooperation and compromise that we can create the type of mutually beneficial society that we need to create in order to survive and thrive as a species. in order to achieve that humans have had to develop things like empathy, guilt, shame, remorse and we need other humans for companionship in order to thrive emotionally psychologically and even physically. Centuries ago humans didn't really survive past their mid 30s or 40s, many died even younger or in infancy and they didn't have time to sit around pondering on life they were more concerned with basic survival...it's only because of science, technology and health care by a small percent of geniuses that we are around much longer now. Just because humans are more intelligence with bigger brains doesn't mean we have a higher purpose than other organisms. It's only our own narcissism than makes us believe we are above basic biology. All your ancestors before you who made sacrifices were not just building up for you to live a self centred existence. Of course there are antisocial personalities like narcissists and psychopaths who did not develop these things(biology is not perfect) usually due to trauma, abuse and neglect in childhood, but most humans did develop empathy and a conscience and are prosocial and are able to bond and care for other humans. A society comprised entirely or even mostly of antisocial personalities would not be sustainable. Without respect for the rights of others and adherence to basic rules of decency society falls apart. Keep your Humanity because we all need it. Don't let anyone rob you of your kindness your compassion, empathy and consideration. We all need each other because without us there's nothing to build and nothing to care about. There are only selfish childish people who would literally destroy everything without even realizing they're harming themselves too.
i love your message in this video. focus on being the best you can be instead of blaming women for your past bad experiences. we need more men to advise younger men to invest in themselves. the rewards might take months or years but you'll live a happier life.

Stellar video, as usual. It is refreshing to watch an intelligent UA-camr, instead of the huge number of insecure guys posing as "alpha males" or "players" or whatever.
Toxic masculinity = deep insecurity. Good definition. Could that include some women, like masculine boss babes who, inside, are wishy washy and ill at ease?
Thanks, i’ve had guys reach out to me to talk to me one on one about masculinity. I’m often struck by how distorted their view is. Younger guys are getting their impressions from people like Andrew Tate or other hyper masculine guys that are really just playing a role. I felt the video would be valuable, especially to younger guys to get an alternative view of what masculinity can be
@ Absolutely John and it’s just a trend that should and will be curbed in time by the continual sharing of videos like yours. From one teacher to another, I can see that you have the natural spark of communication that is not possible to manufacture. You have the ability to explain effectively to the males in particular and I totally get the idea of trying to wake men up before they commit to marriage but also not to dissuade them from entering relationships. Of course relationships can be beneficial and rewarding but it’s vital that young men don’t rush and keep their eyes open. The problem unfortunately is ‘young heads on old shoulders’ at the end of the day. But definitely some will benefit from these messages and those that do will be so grateful to you in later years!

U seem to be talking about the Ideal non-toxic man, I for 1 know this is rare, BUT a Sigma Male (very rare man) already knows all these traits, and exercises them unlike 99% of men around him.
Coincidence: Last night one if my daughters called to thank me for showing True Masculinity. Apparently, I’m the most masculine Man she ever met …wishing she could meet a Real Man more like her father…
Balance is hard to achieve. I think a lot of guys fresh out of a horrible divorce lean into a false hypermasculinity as part of their recovery and redevelopment as they recalibrate to their new life where they have freedom but social isolation and get to rediscover who they used to be while catching up to a world that's changed.
As a person who is trapped in seeking approval, I need to add that sometimes humility becomes a new way to seek approval or attention as well. By the way, healthy masculinity means to feel ok in our own skin. When a man masters in ablitlity to sleep with several woman and decides to stay with one, he will be respected by women.
Not sure if Confidence is THE defining characteristic of masculinity. It sure is part of it, yes. I rather like having a Stoic State of Mind : keeping a righteous path despite adversity and a treacherous world. Not shying away from doing the things that are Right and Good no matter what.
Basically, we have good people, ok people and shitty people. Everything else is just labels or social constructs that change depending on your timeline, locations and cultures.
That sounds like a great idea for a video. I was just sitting here on the couch watching football thinking what would make my next video about and then I read your comment! Thanks I’ll dedicate it to you.! 😄👍
Repeal the 19th look to the middle east on how to re introduce force doctrine. And lets live stream the new 21st century Salem trials! Hint feminism is DEEPLY rooted in Satanism and the occult!
There are many men in the public sphere who behave like this. I think Andrew Tate is a good example. He is a fraud. He uses his masculinity as a way to entice young men who are insecure to give him their money. Plain and simple it’s a scam.
Much of it comes from experience and talking with other men. Although there are some really great historical examples. Certainly Marcus Aurelius is a good one.
Masculinity isnt toxic yet its not enough for a man. To complete a person, some other elements meanf to be in place. Its says masculinity is toxic itd just because its out of place, displeced from reality. If a person use in some ways their masculinity its more than appropriate but being in that state all the time .... take you out of realness. Thats my opinion. Masculijity is just a mask, that we meant to use sometimes it is not the essence, its not for the sake of self. If someone plays that mask all the time he is out of the balance.
Healthy masculinity is one whose all things not just masculinity. Person of content is healthy person with mask is as much healthy as have a valuable content.
Masculinity is having a role as mask. The more visible the mask the less content it has in real value. That's my take about masculinity. Then the content we could also divide int something that is more one way or the other.
All true but, you aren't just describing a masculine man but rather a perfect man which doesn't exist. Even very masculine man with all our most of the traits you talk about will do things that go against the grain from time to time as human nature is a big pet of our lives. Sure, something to strive for but shortcomings there will inevitably be. I'm a very masculine man and have and still do mostly as you say but I have and still do the wrong things as well and I accept that they are wrong but sometimes nature takes over and there are limits to how strong one can be
We’re all trying to do our best. I think the important thing is to understand what true masculinity looks like rather than what it is portrayed as in the media.
No .. he just knows how to act to attract and gather an audience. That doesn't mean he's not a jerk. He gathered many many followers who wanted to be like him
FYI I found myself unsubbed to your channel today (I didn't unsubscribe, just to be clear). No idea why, but I can take a hint. Good luck with it, Mr. Griffin.
Be Christ like. Jesus is our masculine role model. He knew what really matters. He knew how to treat all kinds of people with dignity, civility and respect. Correcting/teaching by speaking the truth in love. Righteous anger when needed.
lol, no. False bravado, boastful, constantly trying to impress/prop himself up. Super ego and hyper insecure. Zero humility. Trump is almost to a T the exact perfect example of toxic masculinity that John is talking about. Watch the video again.
Mostly men choose to live a peaceful and healthy life... We need time and space to have nice rest... Working makes ur feel exhausted... It is nice to be single and stay silent in peace...
"The more you know, the less you need to show" 🤩
Well said
Very true
The older I get, there’s more and more stuff I realise I DON’T know!
I’m so “toxic” that my soon to be ex wife calls me “angry and negative “ after yelling “I hate you” at me.
Projection!
You need your wife or you will be nothing without her in your life.
Typical abuser mentality: "Why do you make me abuse you? It's your fault if you think about it."

FYI I found myself unsubbed to your channel today (I didn't unsubscribe, just to be clear). No idea why, but I can take a hint. Good luck with it, Mr. Griffin.
UA-cam does that sometimes, the uploader can't unsubscribe you
I don’t have the power to un sub anyone. I’ve heard those complaints from other people and I have no idea why that would happen.
Trump is the poster boy of covering up insecurity
He’s talking about Wes Watson and Andrew Tate 😂 as the insecure fake Alphas
Man you're describing Lebron James when talking about the negative aspect right? Nailed it exactly 💯
Thanks
Be Christ like. Jesus is our masculine role model. He knew what really matters. He knew how to treat all kinds of people with dignity, civility and respect. Correcting/teaching by speaking the truth in love. Righteous anger when needed.
Great point
@@john-griffin Thanks. He also used humor.
Wearing a wig? 🤔
No, all natural. (Just for men shampoo)
then it ain’t natural, john! 😆
So a man like Trump!
lol, no.
False bravado, boastful, constantly trying to impress/prop himself up.
Super ego and hyper insecure.
Zero humility.
Trump is almost to a T the exact perfect example of toxic masculinity that John is talking about.
Watch the video again.
Mostly men choose to live a peaceful and healthy life... We need time and space to have nice rest... Working makes ur feel exhausted... It is nice to be single and stay silent in peace...
good advice, i had a wobble the other day when a younger male was criticizing as a joke of me.
but im ok
