15 Things That Masculine Men Never Do

These are not acceptable.

Doing any of these things makes you a lesser man. Let’s get right into it: here are 15 things that a masculine man never does.

15. Abuse the weak: A truly masculine man —even more so a Christian— sees those who are weaker than him as people he can help become stronger, not as opportunities to manipulate, abuse, and cheat for his own gain.

14. Use his faith as an excuse for his physical inferiority: Being a man of faith is not a reason not to work on your physical fitness. We are not merely spiritual beings, but also physical ones, and our role on earth requires us to develop holistically, which includes putting time and effort into developing our bodies.

13. Follow clearly wrong orders: Masculinity demands integrity, and integrity requires a strict adherence to higher moral principles, even when the authorities of the world instruct you otherwise.

12. Accept nihilism and despair: Nihilism is a sin. For many, this ideology serves as a comfortable excuse to avoid taking responsibility, owning up to their circumstances, and trying to bring good into the world. God calls on us to have faith, and to believe that He wins in the end. He calls on us to find meaning in the pursuit of sanctity, and to remember the promise of Heaven if we follow him faithfully. If we trust in Him with all our hearts, we’ll find deep purpose and meaning.

11. Cheat on his woman: The secular “masculinity” gurus have gone so far as to claim that all women want to be cheated on. Never mind how insane it is to believe such a thing, but also how sad it is that so many men are being misled into thinking that their masculinity is directly correlated to how many women they manipulate and seduce. Cheating on a woman shows a man values cheap pleasure more than the vows he’s made. It shows he’s unreliable, disloyal, and of dark principles. Masculine men possess, first and foremost, strength of values and moral fortitude. What do you think cheating on your woman says about you?
