A real man is able to take care of himself and his family. He is an intelligent, respectful and confident man, but he also knows how to accept defeat, ask for help and do what is necessary to achieve a goal. Living as a real man takes a lot of effort. If you want to know how to be more manly, you have to look like a macho, behave like one, and avoid falling into stereotypes, which give men who call themselves "macho" a bad name. Learn to be a man. For more information, go to the first step.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Have the appearance of a macho

Step 1. Take care of your appearance

A macho guy should try to look decent without spending too much time or money on his look. To look macho, you need to be clean, smell good and dress appropriately, but it doesn't have to look like you've spent more than five minutes getting ready in the morning, or that you care about your appearance.

• Avoid things like expensive haircuts and manicures. Instead, learn how to cut your hair and shave with an electric razor to show your best even between one cut and another. Trim and clean your nails regularly, but don't worry about the cuticles.

  

• Take a shower and wear clean clothes that fit you appropriately and highlight the masculine features of your physique. There is nothing macho about stinking or putting on the clothes a teenager would wear. Learn to choose your wardrobe yourself.

  

Step 2. You can't go wrong wearing jeans

What is a macho wearing? The simpler, the better. The basic look, which consists of any type of jeans, a clean white shirt and work boots, was great in the 1950s and still looks good today.

Dress appropriately for work. Don't wear flip-flops and shorts to go to work, or you risk looking like an idiot. Buy yourself a pair of sober shoes or boots and you will achieve the purpose you have set for yourself

Step 3. Start going to the gym

A macho man must have a macho physique, and he should achieve it not by spending time attending expensive pilates gyms, but by lifting heavy loads in his garage. Build your muscles by exercising at home daily using items you already own. There is no need to buy weights, expensive equipment, or weird contraptions. Barbells will do for you.

Focus on your abs and biceps more than the other muscle groups. Do different exercises for the high, low and oblique abs to get a nice tortoise. Practice with weights to develop your biceps and with a flat bench to develop your arms and pecs

Step 4. Try to always be sure of yourself

The macho is a guy who feels confident, whether with friends, strangers or co-workers. People should notice you when you walk into a room. Sit straight, maintain good posture when walking, and look people directly in the eye. Speak clearly and loudly and with the belief that what you say is correct and reliable.

A true macho makes himself heard both physically with his presence and with his voice, but without actively trying to intimidate others. There is a difference between being macho and being a perfect idiot

Step 5. Get some scars

A macho guy gets his hands dirty and loves physicality, which is likely to cause a few bruises and a couple of scars for our friend. Don't worry about it. Engage in activities you know you can handle and be adventurous. You only live once.

This does not mean that you have to behave irresponsibly and put your safety at risk. Get your scars by falling off your bike and working in the garage to fix the car, not by having bar fights or running in your car like crazy

Method 2 of 3: Behaving like a macho

Step 1. Learn to trust yourself

A real man is able to take care of himself and his family. If you want to learn how to behave macho, learn to manage your life on your own without having to depend on others for your basic needs. Are you able to change the carburetor oil yourself or do you always have to take the car to your mechanic? A manly guy should be able to intelligently deal with any situation that comes his way without ever panicking. This is a short list of things you should be able to do if you want to be a true macho:

• Take care of your car

  

• Repair a leaking faucet

  

• Throwing the knives

  

• Cooking a steak

  

• Shoot with a gun

  

• Drinking

  

• Shave with the classic razor

  

• Finding the water

  

• Slaughter

  

• Survive in nature

  

• Knowing how to win by fighting

  

Step 2. Find some manly hobbies

Playing with the X-Box is certainly fun, but there are other activities you can try your hand at if you want to be a true macho. A macho guy comes out of the house and knows how to make his hands work. Male hobbies could be a great way to bond with other men and feel testosterone circulating freely in your veins. Try some of these activities and pick a few you like:

• Fishing

  

• Football

  

• Golf

  

• Boxing

  

• Motorcycling

  

• Reading

  

• Target shooting

  

Step 3. Become an expert on something

A macho is an intelligent man who has learning and learning new things as a priority on his agenda. Whether for work or as a hobby, you should try to learn and excel in a particular activity. Others should come looking for you so that you help them with your experience on the subject, not the other way around.

Never make fun of others because you know more than they do. Rejoicing in the ignorance of others would not make you more manly, but only more stupid

Step 4. Say what you think and think what you say

A real man comes forward to defend what he believes in, and exposes his point of view in an intelligent and informed way. Don't be afraid to say what you think honestly and clearly. If you disagree with someone, show your disagreement respectfully, even when it would be easier to let it go.

It is also important to know how to recognize and admit one's mistakes. A manly man knows how to recognize his own setbacks and learn from his mistakes, instead of becoming defensive when he realizes he has made a mistake. If you are arguing with someone and start to think again, or if your decision turns out to be the wrong one, don't be afraid to admit it. This is what it means to be a real man

Step 5. Be yourself

Behaving macho doesn't mean you have to drive your car recklessly, get drunk, and treat everyone like garbage. A real man remains true to himself, to what he believes in and is above all a real person, who fights for his own principles. A true macho doesn't just play the tough guy, but he acts like a real man.

Method 3 of 3: Avoid stereotypes

Step 1. Respect and behave well with women

If there is one thing that gives macho boys a bad name, it is that they treat women with little respect, speak ill of them, consider them objects and are generally rude. A real man treats all the women in his life with the utmost respect. Learn to talk to women face to face, calmly and politely.

Don't try to put on a show by being tough to impress women. Women don't like circus shows. Remember this: behave like a man. Don't whistle at women and don't use typical pickup phrases when talking to a girl. You can do better than that

Step 2. Eat vegetables and eat a balanced diet

Some males think they make themselves more manly by eating only meat and developing a natural aversion to vegetables and other foods because they believe they are not suitable foods for a real man. Unfortunately for them, a diet that consists mainly of red meat and avoids vegetables altogether can lead to conditions such as cancer of the prostate, stomach or intestine. There is nothing macho about having your prostate removed and becoming sexually impotent and incontinent.

Step 3. Drink responsibly

Being able to "endure alcohol" is not a sign of masculinity, but rather of being addicted to alcoholism. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a couple of drinks with friends, especially a good bourbon, a dark beer or a Manhattan, but you need to know your limits and avoid pushing yourself to strut in front of your friends. Drinking too much could have very serious consequences.

This also applies to other self-destructive vices, such as smoking and the use of other drugs. The abuse of illicit substances is a sign of insecurity, not of virility

Step 4. Drive carefully

There is nothing macho about speeding, cutting off passers-by or pressing like crazy on the accelerator to prevent the traffic light from shooting. If you are a real man, you don't need to compensate by going for it with a big sports car.

If you have a nice car that you are really proud of, show it to your friends in your driveway or on an open road, but don't try your hand at your feats in traffic. Strangers walking their dog in the morning are not interested in how many horses your car owns, and walking out from behind the traffic lights in front of them won't make you look macho anymore

Step 5. Have sex responsibly and always use protection

A manly man does not need to be promiscuous to show off his manhood. Practice safe sex and try to get comfortable. Ignore guys who brag about their sexual prowess. They've probably watched too many porn movies and made it all up. You know you are a real man and you don't need to prove it to others.

Step 6. Get help when you need it

This is perhaps the oldest of stereotypes: Never be willing to pull over and ask for directions. Sure, it can be embarrassing to admit that you're wrong, or that you need someone's help, but it's even worse to be stubborn and make it worse. A real man tries to perform at his best, first of all, not to do a shoddy job on his own. You can't always rely on your own strength alone. Ask for help if you need it.
