It seems that for every supposedly masculine thing, something counteracts its supposed masculinity. Like with chains, they are mostly the same as necklaces, but it’s still considered masculine to wear them, but then sometimes gay people wear them, usually black gay people, and then it becomes feminine again. Similar with tattoos, you could usually associate them with a big buff biker or hood black guy, but then at the same time someone like Curtis Conner can have a whole bunch of them and still act like a total cuck. Kind of a similar thing with earrings. Usually it’s a feminine thing, but sometimes some guys can have them and still be seen as somewhat masculine. Even super masculine black men wear them sometimes. Another thing is competing with other men, standing your ground, and being the alpha supposedly. But if you are always yelling at or picking fights with other guys whenever they do something that makes you feel mad, upset, insecure, or threatened, then aren’t you technically being emotionally sensitive or letting your emotions get the best of you. In that case it would contradict the other masculine principal of not being as emotional. Also similarly with the whole “alpha takes what he wants thing” if a girl rejects you, and then you get mad at her and demand that she date you, doesn’t that kind of make you look like a baby. It’s kind of the same if a toddler was denied candy, so then started crying for his mom to give it to him, therefore making it less masculine. Also being interested in some things seem nerdy, there not masculine, and being interested in other things makes you seem more masculine. But of course someone can be interested in various things, and may have nerdy and non-nerdy interests. You could even be very muscular and masculine in other ways and still have those interests. Sometimes more nerdy people are even involved in the military, but they are doing something that’s considered very masculine. For example I know a guy that’s very buff and tough looking, but at the same time really likes comics, something typically seen as nerdy. But assuming you just had nerdy interests, another masculine principle is being rich. Well you could be rich by doing not nerdy things like sports and such. But at the same time you could be rich by doing nerdy things such as computer stuff, like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill gates for example. Mark Zuckerburg especially seems like a typical “beta male”, but at the same time is masculine because of his financial success. Another thing I want to mention is that sometimes white people are seen as less masculine than black people. But then what about a tall buff white guy who’s in a violent biker gang, is he less masculine just simply because he’s white. But also if black people do things other than being in a gang and selling drugs, rapping, or being in sports, and instead do things like being a lawyer, journalist, politician, doctor, etc, than he’s less masculine and more “white”. But then again from my point earlier, you would be making a lot of money doing things like that, and power with positions such as a politician or lawyer. Isn’t that exactly what rap songs brag about all the time, money and power? Also this may only be true in my case since I’m from the south. But if you acted more sophisticated, white or black, you would generally be seen as less masculine. But what about Trump, he’s sophisticated, but evidently also very masculine. He doesn’t have to be country or hood to be seen that way. Why is it that in the south you have to fit these regressive archetypes to be seen as manly. People like this usually tend to be poorer anyway, so therefore being less masculine.
