[@WillMoon]

When I was a kid my dad gave me a copy of the Lord of the Rings, and it took me until I was older to realize that Aragorn is basically the quintessential paragon of masculine virtue. If you’re ever wondering what a true man looks like, it’s basically that. Aragorn didn’t care about his riches or his power, or how many women he seduced. He cared about protecting the realms of those who could not protect themselves. He didn’t rush back to Gondor, but rather hung out near the Shire because the Shire had no defenses. He led men into battle when needed but was content to be alone if it meant fulfilling his mission in life. He was a skilled healer and healed wounds caused by the darkness of the Nazgûl because of his purity. Importantly when the elves felt the calling to leave Middle Earth because of the corruption and darkness of Mordor spreading into the land, Aragorns mortality and humanity allowed him to stay and face the darkness without being diminished by it.

[@artemrevelsky]

Aragorn is basically a superhero. Tall, strong, gifted with almost unlimited lifespan with a noble Numenorian heritage. Not that relatable to be honest. The Count of Monte Cristo is a lot better model for a common man in my opinion of course.

I'm glad that you're experiencing awesome results with prayer. Most people on the planet believe in some sort of deity. But in reality prayer doesn't do anything but convince oneself of something. It provides hope when one feels helpless but ultimately does nothing to change the trajectory of their lives. However, calculated plans and action is the only thing that impacts change.

That story struck with me. I have recently become alone and I am worried that will happen to me. It sucks to just exist on your own. There really needs to be more communities and outreach for men who feel alone. I can literally spend days and days in my own home with just my dog without anyone checking up on me. Part of the reason I came to your channel in the first place. To make myself better so I can eventually find a partner and friends as my self esteem is pretty low at the moment. It's really horrible to not have a partner, friends and a family who are too busy with their own lives to truly make an effort to help you. So this video has helped me. Thankyou.

Kudos for breaking free of the bad example set by your Father. Most men emulate the same traits as their father when it comes to parenting, or have no example due to growing up in a fatherless home. You looked at it, recognized your Father's lack of parenting as unacceptable, and made the conscience decision to parent much differently. Raising good, kind people with great values is the finest compliment I can give anyone.

[@darrellclaunch1518]

Fantastic video! I empathize with the story about the man and child. When we had our girls I chose to be a work from home dad while my wife taught. I worked hard as a freelancer to get enough projects in to cover bills while watching the kids during the day. This led to an average of 4 hours of sleep per night for years, which in part led to high blood pressure (because it wasnt good sleep and energy drinks to help me stay awake) and all the time at the desk and carrying baby gear led to an eventual hospital stay and back surgery. During this period I was so worried about having a heart attack and dying, leaving our infant and toddler on their own in the house with my body that I had my wife text me during her lunch break daily to verify I was still alive. It was a terrifying time that I am happy I have made it through and found better health (and sleep) on the other side. Two weeks is absolutely heartbreaking. Thank you for not editing your emotions out!

Every day I add one internal trait about myself I’m grateful for, the on the others one thing about the world and one thing about any person other than myself. Sometimes it’s as simple as “I’m grateful the gas station cashier gave me a warm smile and told me to have a nice day”. I felt weird for the first week doing this, but now I cannot see myself ever stopping. Everyone can and should try this for a month.

I've completely integrated stoicism into my life and it states that a fully manifested masculine male has courage, wisdom, justice and temperance. Another great book on this is the, "King, Warrior, Magician, Warrior" and it states men at their pinacle have these 8 traits: 1) Vision, 2) Stability, 3) Action, 4) Strength, 5) Wisdom, 6) Intuition, 7) Connection & 8) Love. Highly recommend learning about stoicism and read the above book. My Dad bailed on me when I was 9 and we didn't talk much for 20 years so I had to build my own model of what a real/true man is.

being “masculine” is amoral, a man can be a good or bad person and still be masculine. Traditional masculine traits include stoicism willpower paternalism mentoring physical dominance mental fortitude etc. all these forces can be used in any way possible because ethics are not a prerequisite.

I wish there was much more help for men out there, I had almost lost 2 of my best friends from suicide within the last month…and I’m in high school so these guys are sooo young 😢😟

Appreciate your compassion and vulnerability, Antonio. I have been single for many years now and have no interest in getting back into the game. I am alone, yes, but not lonely. Having actually died myself a few years ago (was brought back by medics and doctors), I can tell you we all die alone (was surrounded by neighbors and had no clue what was happening to me - thus alone). It was this incident that made me value my life and my sanity that much more. If something brings me drama or trouble I either smash it, or walk away from it. Same with dating. That said, my life is rich and rewarding and seems to get better by the day with the exception of a few bumps here and there. So much of this is just adapting to the noise, drama and unrealistic expectations that have been placed on us. May God bless us all.

Antonio, this was one of your best videos man. Your struck me to the core as a dude in his early 20's. This is a sign I'm on the right path as I'm already embodying many of characteristics. While being a man of my word with owning up to my mistakes.

Heartbreaking story on Mr. Kenneth Battersby and his son Bronson. To have no one to check on you is a sad story in itself. In my case, I feel like I’m the only one checking on, calling people.. everyone else seems to be so busy with themselves. And if they do gather, somehow I’m left out of that. Finding the balance and wisdom in this chapter of my life.

That sucks and I feel for u. I rather have friends that care about me than friends who I have more in common.

Superb post. Possibly one of the best I've ever seen. I'm a divorced father of four kids. And my integrity easy saving grace. My family blew up in a messy way (not on my end). Being a (good) man means responsibility and commitment. Happy to say more but I'll just say that this is a spot on and important video.

This video hit home. Thank you Antonio

Antonio, I appreciate your transparency on emotions. We are always expected to bottle it up. With that being said emotional stuff all the time makes me uncomfortable. This video shows you have a big heart. I’ve watched a ton of your videos and I appreciate the tips that I’ve learned from you. I don’t wear dressier clothes much, but when I do, I want to look good. 👍

[@kylemccrate4292]

Thank you for sharing and the work that you do. That poor little guy 😢 RIP

[@mackaready1]

That man is all of us, we all are or want to be committed to our children and we focus on what must be done to the neglect of our own needs and vulnerability often times. Thank you for these videos and this one as well. Thank goodness for KZbin.

[@WearilyCorrect]

Be so strong that you are gentle.
