Certain truths used to be imparted from father to son in those simple, shared moments of learned masculinity, such as changing the oil in the car or working out together.
These are ten of them.

Just like a bank will not allow you to withdraw funds you don't have, others will not offer you respect "just because".
It is earned.
You must make the effort to be respectable, and seek out others who deserve your respect.

They are beautiful, extraordinary, sometimes maddening humans - but they are not like us, and that is as it should be.
They prize passion and stability, and seek out men of high value.
Don't blame them if you suck at being a man.

"Pain demands a response." - Sanction
The weakness of modern men is their fear of pain. They are too soft to face the fire.
But some pain is good. It instructs, stimulates, and refines the body and soul of a man.
Endure.

You will frequently be presented with situations, contexts, and people for which you are wholly unprepared.
These are your chances to analogize real-world data to your existing experience, and learn something new.

It doesn't matter what you do, you start as a beginner.
Prodigies and naturals are outliers.
Committed effort, study, and a willingness to look stupid for a long time are the keys to learning a new concept.

But guess what?
You don't get to cry about it, rationalize it, or make excuses.
It is what it is.
Know when you're wrong, know when you're right, and trust yourself to make mostly correct choices at each point of decision.

Forgive them anyway, because you're going to be an idiot as well.
To be human is to strive to be more than your primal nature, fail, and eventually get it right.
Broken people will tell you this isn't possible.
They're idiots too.

Good.
If people don't doubt you, you're not making big enough plans.
But do not resent their doubt. It's natural.
Just remember who stood by your side in spite of their spoken or unspoken doubts. These are your true friends.

Most young men these days are emotionally stunted.
Bad parenting has left them unable to process emotion properly.
They interpret "being a man" as being cynical or aggressive, or they go full "drama queen".
Be kind, but resolute.

Cynicism is the final evolution of a man who is no longer able to cope with reality.
Hope is a choice, not an emotion.
Never give in to despair, and never break faith with those who believe in you.

You were built to run, exert, lift, fight, and make love.
Embrace the chemical ride that comes from exploring the world around you through your senses.
Quit wasting away and eating garbage.
Put some respect on your own name.
