Although some habits and qualities such as commitment and accountability are important and necessary for embodying masculinity, there are also some additional small things to pay attention to. Especially in our current era, we frequently encounter some adult men who are not mature enough to be described as men. For men who wish to abandon this uninteresting lifestyle, we present six habits to discard in order to achieve true masculinity:
**A Man's Self-Confidence**
- **Insecurity and Competitiveness**: It's not enjoyable dealing with a boy who has a fragile ego and needs constant reassurance. Overcome your feelings of insecurity and stop trying to outshine your friends or undermine them to feel better about yourself. A man should be supportive of others, generous, and confident in his abilities. He can also take criticism and provide support to those around him when they need it.
**A Man's Communication Skills**
- **Inability to Communicate**: Let's agree that the foundation of any serious relationship is communication. Therefore, be assertive but respectful when sharing your opinions. Don’t say yes when you mean no; think about what you want and say it with strength and confidence. However, don’t forget to listen to what others want. Additionally, be open and honest; do not hide your feelings or fear confrontations or uncomfortable discussions.
**A Man's Knowledge**
- **Being Knowledgeable About Everything**: You may be an intelligent and knowledgeable person, but it's really annoying to correct and explain everything for others. While a man may enjoy challenges, debates, or arguments, he should also sometimes acknowledge that he doesn't know a lot about the topic being discussed.
**A Man's View of Women**
- **Objectifying Women**: It’s natural to drool over images of models in lingerie catalogs during adolescence, but as you approach your twenties, it may be time to shed a narrow view of female beauty. Real men understand that there are many things that make a girl beautiful, beyond the size of her breasts or the shape of her body. Real men also know that imperfections can be alluring, as they are shown by real women who can acknowledge and display them without hesitation or fear. A real woman is more captivating than the objectifying fantasies that occupy the minds of immature teenagers.
**A Man's Decision-Making Ability**
- **Indecisiveness**: Only children cannot make any decisions; they have no jobs, goals, or serious relationships, as they cannot judge what is significant or trivial. Mature men know what they want from life, whether it's finding a good life partner or pursuing certain ideas. They always seek to make informed decisions and treat all aspects of their lives with respect and appreciation.
**A Man's Life Planning Ability**
- **Lack of Concern for the Future**: A real man has a clear plan and a good vision for the future. He has goals that he is always striving to achieve, no matter how difficult they may be, whether they are financial, moral, or related to social relationships. A real man works on building a solid foundation for his future, whether that means starting a family, a business, or simply a long-term relationship. In contrast, immature children and teenagers escape commitment and think only of themselves selfishly, living in the present without care for their future.
