Why become more masculine?

Shouldn’t a man become more “masculine”?

Let me speak for men:

If masculinity or manliness (virtue) is the art of a man becoming the apex version of himself, then shouldn’t manliness and masculinity be the goal?

Certainly masculinity is subjective

Let men talk about male matters; let women talk about women matters.

Regarding masculinity, you must define it for yourself. For myself it is simple:

1. Stoic hard skin (in praise of stoicism)
2. Hard mind
3. Hard body; hard muscles. More muscular mass (skeletal mass) and less body fat (adipose tissue)
4. Stronger physical strength (powerlifting)
