This is such a joke I struggled to believe this was an article written by a guy and is 100% serious. That morpheus meme was laugh out loud funny.
Anyways, this is my attempt at making a serious reply to these 7 principles:
1. It's okay to cry and show a full range of emotions
- It's okay to cry, sure. People that are important to you will pass away and it will hurt. Maybe you have bone surgery and you are awake for the whole thing and you cry. But showing a full range of emotions? I think it's more important to be in control of your emotions.
2. Girls aren't the worst thing
- Nah, but we shouldn't pedestalize them either.
3. There is no need to constantly prove you masculinity
- At times it is necessary, anyone who believes otherwise has no balls. But what is important is how you are proving it. Think sports, physical challenges, approaching because you want to fuck her and not because you just think she might be cool..
4. It's okay to suck at sports
- No it's not. You should try to excel yourself in some area of sport or fitness. It's not the result, its the process. This means you don't necessarily have to aim to be the #1 athlete, but you should try to constantly improve your level, lift weights with frequency to achieve decent musculature, etc.
5. Sexual conquests don't define you
- no they don't. But if you deny the importance of actively chasing that primal desire, you don't or shouldn't have balls.
6. You can talk about your feelings
- ties again to learning to control your emotions. It's okay and human to have them, but not okay to let them control you.
7. Violence is not the answer when conflicts arise
- Nope, and it shouldn't be. But it might be necessary, and every man should be ready or at least willing if the situation presents itself.
