**WARNING: Today’s entry is an excerpt from a long email that I received almost 3 years ago. It’s a good piece that is very empowering for men (which we don’t see very often). Please enjoy. Be blessed, #BeDynamic.
Okay, I’ve been noticing an influx of new members asking certain questions, like “What should I do about my girlfriend?”, “How do I attract women?”, and even “Is my d*ck long enough to satisfy a woman?” In the end, I wonder… W-T-F?!?! Seriously, bros, I’m not going to go out and take away your man-points. Instead, I’ll go off on a tangent on how to increase your personal manliness and self respect. It all starts here:
(A) Learn to respect yourself as a man. Self-confidence cannot be over-emphasized. If you are wondering if you have enough self-confidence, then you don’t. Granted, it’s not an easy thing to learn how to increase; there’s no one way to go about it. The only thing I can tell you is to go achieve something for yourself. Do something that you feel is worthwhile and respectable. If you have a lack of confidence in yourself, it’s because you haven’t given yourself a reason to have any. It all starts there.
(B) Don’t give a flying f-ck what anyone says about you, unless they’ve somehow earned your respect. Ever. You know why I don’t give a crap about man-points? Because I’d only accept them from very few people in my life, who’ve earned the right to have their opinions matter to me. If anyone criticizes you on anything, (like a complete stranger, some chick, or someone you just met) and they haven’t earned the *right* to do so in your eyes, screw ’em. That’s part of self-respect, in the essence that you only respect the opinions of yourself, and those whom you deem worthy of it or more wise than you are. Never let any random dumb-f-ck drag you down needlessly.
(C) Be of some meaning to this world. A man truly only serves one of two things: either himself, which carries no honor… anyone can please their own whims easily, and it only leads to more and more un-manly greed. Either that, or he can choose to serve something higher, whatever he feels that is. Do not dedicate your life solely to yourself; find something bigger than yourself to serve and work for in life. That also leads back to self-respect; you must recognize yourself as a worthy addition to whatever you choose to serve in that respect.
(D) Understand that women have a completely different role in life, and are really NOT THAT BAD. I know that this one may be hard to swallow – hell, a lot of women don’t even get it themselves, what with the feminist movement and their crazy emotions and all – but understand and know that we really are, and have been, the world’s natural leaders. All men who are truly worthwhile show their alpha tendencies from time to time, some more than others; however, very few women can achieve this same form of mindset. And, what is the key to an alpha mindset? Like I said… self respect. If you have a good amount of respect for yourself, you won’t care what unworthy women think about you… because you know *they* are the ones missing out, not you.
So, for everyone in these forums, especially those who are wondering about themselves, this is the best advice I can give. In closing, a huge d-ck doesn’t make you a man. Somehow getting a woman doesn’t make you a man. NOTHING makes you a man except YOURSELF, and RESPECTING YOURSELF. It’s up to YOU to gather the confidence in yourself necessary to move your own mountains, part your own seas, and truly make the world your bitch. After all, you are all men, and it is your birthright… it is up to you to claim it.

Although I commend you for reminding men to believe in themselves, I feel as if I have to remind you that behind every strong man is a strong women. Nowhere in the laws of Life does it say that women cannot “achieve this same form of mindset” typical of the “the world’s natural leaders.” In fact, plenty of powerful, inspiring, independent and highly talented women have already done just that.
Everybody has the capability to display their alpha tendencies, which are not limited by sex or gender. I think you should have kept a bit more tightly along the “If you have self-respect, you won’t care what anyone thinks of you” (without any man or woman segregation) track, because self-respect transcends all genders.
