  3. When people ask me, “what’s up with wearing a pink shirt?” and I say ‘no it’s not pink at all, it’s SALMON!”

  6. I’m still a pretty young guy (20) so I still have a lot to learn about manhood, but my dad just asked me to help him out with moving pipes and bins from his truck to the shed—it took a lot of physical effort and we were all sweaty and grimy by the end, but afterward I felt a really strong sense of satisfaction and confidence that was pretty directly related to my sense of masculinity. Also, I’m finally growing a beard and a solid mustache, so that also makes me feel pretty damn manly

  9. Getting out on a Sunday morning and perfectly manicuring my lawn. I have the best lawn on my street and one of the best ones in the neighborhood. I used to think that Hank Hill was just an exaggeration, but I get it now. Why would anyone do drugs when they can just mow a lawn.

  12. Right away in the morning every morning:

    I wake up and get a good lift in. Then I make coffee and breakfast while I cool down and feed my wife and son. I get dressed for work, see my son to the bus and kiss my wife goodbye.

    10/10 manly feeling.

    Lifting heavy, taking care of my family and then off to the office.

    Other examples: when I fix something in the house, when I give my son fatherly advice, when I give my wife a solid orgasm.

  14. Lift heavy thing or open big heavy door for woman. Give coat to woman so me can show how tough me am because me no feel bad in cold wind. Hit big stick with slightly smaller stick. Throw rock or other big thing in pond. Do dumb thing with friends. Run fast. Hit big round thing with hand or foot, make goal. Talk like unga bunga caveman. It make me feel good. Make me feel like man. Well, maybe caveman part just for fun.

  17. I recently bought a really nice screwdriver and now I’m constantly looking for things to take apart and put back together

  18. Not giving a fuck about how someone else defines masculinity. I know I am a man and that’s enough. Someone else’s manhood might be defined differently of course, but the point is that there are many ways to be a man.

  19. Being desired sexually and fucking. Fixing shit and generally being capable. Leading my kids.

  20. Sex with a woman. Just like yin and yang, and black and white, nothing makes the masculine shine more brightly than clashing and contrasting it with the absolute opposite: femininity.

  21. Banging the brakes off of my old lady. Having integrity. Being precisely who I want to be despite opinion and social convention. Oddly enough, emotions.

  22. Fixing something, manual labor, hitting a long drive in golf, doing something nice for a girl (lifting or reaching something my gf can’t always makes me feel like I’m playing a valuable role in the relationship), coming up with a smart solution to a problem

  24. Honestly, when my wife asks me my opinion on something and then does exactly what i suggested without having one of her friends tell her to do it.

  25. Went to trade school for automotive tech at 19. When I turned 22 (~2 years worth of wrenching at a dealer) I got the confidence to start posting “dm if you need work/maintenance done on your vehicles! Will work out labor price but bring your own parts/ call for diagnosis”.

    When my friends/friends of friends would be satisfied with my work, I would get that over excited, keep it in your chest until the customer leaves sensation that felt good. Now at 23, I’ve got a solid customer referral thing going on.

  26. *”Men of Reddit, what makes you feel like a man and experience masculinity?”*

    Women of Reddit what makes you feel like a woman and experience femininity?

  27. Repping heavy weight.

    Dominating in a BJJ match.

    Making a woman orgasm.

    Starting fire with a flint/steel.

    Chopping wood

    Staring into the souls of other men as I walk by and seeing them quickly look away and move to the side.

  30. sex, rolled sleeves, cigars, driving fast, and walking downtown alone after midnight with a little buzz in my system lol.

  31. The manliest I’ve ever felt is when I’m satisfying a woman or a woman says they feel safe with me

  33. After a love making session where she rest her head my shoulder and stroked my chess like that was what she expected a man to do with her.

  34. One time (the only time really) I walked a girl home and she started making out with me, and I picked her up, carried her in the door, and held her against the wall while we continued to make out during and after

    Probably the most masculine I ever felt. She invited me back the next day. Hasn’t happened again yet, but I’m forever chasing that high. I miss her, hope she’s doing well

  37. This was a great question to ask. I’ve realized that I have no idea what this feels like anymore.

  38. I don’t think there’s a better description than Rudyard Kipling’s poem, “If.”

    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

  39. Being a good dad. That shit is the greatest drug on Earth when my daughter tells me I’m the goat or texts me heart emojis or hugs me before bed.
