Prison. Separate the boys from the men. Still wasn't a nice time. ![[Image: sad.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/sad.gif)
The main thing is confidence build on experience / skills. Not an arrogant attitude. When you managed some task in life, some hardship. War an prison maybe the extremes. But taken responsibility for your life. Lift weights, material arts with sparring, some street fights. Run your own business. Maybe. Still be successful with money is one thing, doesn't make you more manly direct. Just be a thug neither.
From encounters with different people, what get you the most respect is when you stand your word and not a chicken shit. There will be always someone bigger, stronger, faster. Someone more thug, more hard. I got along with most people because I speak my mind - in a mannered way - and stand my ground. When you are a poser, faker or wannabe sooner or later they will expose you. When some guy just say, I'm not into fights, into this or that my priorities are drawing and arts. Then he may seem less manly but I prefer this person over a wannabe thug guy.
What made you the most hard is life itself. To live it, explore it and dare it.
Full Metal Jacket has this scene that kind of describe the attitude you need:

We will stand tall in the sunshine
With the truth upon our side
And if we have to go alone
We'll go alone with pride
For us, these conflicts can be resolved by appeal to the deeply ingrained higher principle embodied in the law, that individuals have the right (within defined limits) to choose how to live. But this Western notion of individualism and tolerance is by no means a conception in all cultures. - Theodore Dalrymple
