Many men, including myself, never enjoyed an experience in childhood of bonding and learning deeply from masculine men.
Disconnected and broken families, as well as female-dominated leadership in schools, contributes to this.

Our father may have been absent physically or emotionally or was abusive, or we had no other male support like brothers and even many male teachers.
As such, many of us lacked the necessary nourishment, synergy and guidance every boy needs from strong male figures.

This lack informs many challenges men face in the modern age, including aimlessness, poor confidence, anxiety, overly feminised men, and men who have βnice guy syndrome.β
βA man is not merely a man but a man among men, in a world of men.
Being good at being a man has more to do with a manβs ability to succeed with men and within groups of men than it does with a manβs relationship to any woman or any group of women.β

If this experience was limited for you, itβs not too late to reconnect with male energies and continue your path of self-growth and masculine mastery:
π§ββοΈJoin a tribe of men, like a regular menβs circle
Find groups that create a space for sharing, connection, catharsis in a judgement-free zone.

π§ββοΈReach out to other male mentors
Use DMs. Be open about asking for help.
Some will say no, but many men are willing to help and connect.
They will gain a lot from helping you too.

π§ββοΈBecome a connector
Build your own community of men, whether online or offline.
This will get you in front of a range of positive men, especially if you invite the kinds of people who have demonstrated themselves as assets.

You will gain so much in social capital and support this way.
This is one of the most enjoyable and empowering things I am currently doing.
You don't need to be the most alpha man around to lead men.
