Men, known for posturing, competing and acting like a child around women, yet many of them like to think that they are tough, because they have
Lots of Money
A high Status in society
A good physique
Were or are in the military
Are in the special forces of the police
To me that's all really amusing and cute, thinking that that makes you tough. I went through lots of hardship in my life and was confronted with seeing death early, dying almost early myself several times and I went through many other struggles:
Manic depression
Low self confidence
Fear of confrontation
Fear of women & sexual tension
Fearing to be my self
Financial struggles
Co-dependence
Being forced to grow up early (before puberty even hit)
When you look a elite soldier into the eye what do you feel?
I can tell you what I feel. I feel hate, not toward him, but his hate, his traumas, his anger. I feel and see the broken man in him. These men come back broken. These men die for men that that don't care about them. Agent Orange. You guys remember? You can't ever be tough if you are a elite soldier and I will explain why!
I feel zero fear when looking at these guys. Elite soldiers I met in person will confirm.
Separate the man from the uniform
The uniformed man and the man without uniform aren't the same man. The man without the uniform is usually broken, traumatized and grieving, full of sorrow. That man has anger issues and struggles to control himself. They struggle with sleep and relation-ships.
PTSD and why I understand these guys
I myself have been living with mild PTSD as early as age 18\19 which became massively stronger at age 23\24 due to a traumatic event which almost resulted in my death. I keep on telling people, that I've seen worse than Afghanistan and Iraq together. These tier 1 dudes might wanna defend the idea that they saw worse, but hey, if you think you are tougher than me, please be my guest in my world for a day and see if you survive. You wouldn't survive a day, no matter who you are
The harsh reality no one talks about
These guys have lots if not absolute mental and emotional control in uniform and on the battlefield but in private, ZERO. Well, guess what. I have both. I have been in situations where it was about life and death, where it was either either him, or me. But trust me, when I tell you this there is scarier things than having bullets come your way and every elite and ex elite soldier will tell you!
Who decides what tough really is?
Well, let me tell you, neither I, OR YOU, but God does. God choses his warriors. But there comes a moment in a man's life, where the warrior choses God!
What makes a man a man
I had the luck to meet all types of men. Masculine, emasculated, feminist, fighters, soldiers, police officers, elite soldiers and even a marine and I think I even met a Navy Seal. But they all taught me something. It doesn't matter if they think that they are tough, when they meet a woman they somehow all shrink, except me. That's when I started to realize, size doesn't matter in masculinity. It's your heart! that matters! It's not your appearance as much as it is your presence.
Please understand that the next time you look those guys into the eyes. Chances are you are tougher than them but fail to recognize it because you have the assumption that they are these perfect beings (kinda like women and handsome men), that have no issues with themselves.
So whom should you fear then?
In the next article, I would like to explain to you what type of man to fear, regardless of size and physical strength.
How women view soldiers and police officers
You wanna know the cold and harsh reality? "Oh, he's so cute in his uniform" Meanwhile they fear the asian uncle preparing ramen because he doesn't give a fuck about YOU and your uniform, while all you do is be scared of men in uniforms. You are not as dangerous as you think and I will make that clear in the next article!
Thanks for reading!
