Yes there is direct requirements for being a man
You're not a man if you can't handle liquor, didn't lose your virginity before 18, can't grow a beard, don't have favorite sports team for the 5 major sports (football, baseball, hockey, basketball in that fucking order), and speaking of sports, didn't play varsity (or college) in one of those, do drugs (including weed), and can't lift at least your body weight.
Other than that you're some beta male soy boy

I fulfil none of these requirements - well, I don’t actually know how well I can handle alcohol as I never had any desire for it and cannot stand its taste at all.
Once again, I have no problem at all with being a “beta” rather than a “Real Man™” according to the toxic criteria of macho idiots.
yeah, bullshit, I am just as much as a man as any other dude thank you very much regardless of the fact that I don’t drink (might be allergic to it that and I have no desire to drink liquor at all), still a virgin, barely grow a beard, frankly don’t give a fuck about sports whatsoever, watching, playing or talking about it, not interested in drugs at all and not that strong in the first place.
honestly, I never take someone seriously if they use the phrase ‘beta male soy boy’ unironically.
5 major sports (football, baseball, hockey, basketball in that fucking order)
Apparently, Real Men™️ can‘t count either.
As @SomeApe pointed out, apart from not being able to count which football?
Aussie rules
League
Union
Soccer
Or that other thing where you dress up in a whole heap of armour and play for about 30 seconds before having a little bit of a rest.
Also your not a man if you smoke weed?
I fulfill your requirements, but I also still think you’re full of shit, racinganon. Lemme guess, does racing refer to fucking NASCAR? Aka “Gather all ye fat inbreds from across the South”?
I’m guessing you’re no Adonis, more of a fat drunk that thinks he’s strong because he can push a bench bar up and down two inches. No real form, just an obnoxious fuck trying to show off his alleged strength.
Real lifters do not drink - liquor interferes with your muscle development.
What's a man now, what's a man mean
Is he rough or is he rugged
Is he cultural and clean
Now it's all changed, it's got to change more
Cause we think it's getting better
But nobody's really sure
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who are real men
- Joe Jackson
He put it well, a little tongue in cheek, I think. I think that Real Men(TM) would play a sport or work out in the gym, not just the kind who sits in front of the TV, emptying tinnies, with watching superfit athletes actually competing in sport. That’s whether you can count to 10, or whatever form of football you follow.
So “manliness” in your eyes is to be play-doh devoid of personal thought and will mashed into a mould of pure peer pressure by a fickle society whose sense of “tradition” is rather laughably fluid and constantly nudged by those who wish to engineer society to their liking? Social engineering that serves little purpose other than to solidify one group’s perceived authority at the cost of counterproductive and irrational divisiveness, crippled individual self-awareness and with it hamstringed personal growth, general social unrest, and generally a bunch of people intentionally making life difficult and being childish assholes for no defensible reason other than they think it’s expected of them. And if trying to squeeze into the mould when your personal interests lie elsewhere brings you only frustration and discomfort it’s better to make yourself emotionally dead to play the part with no satisfaction?
Nah. I think I’m happier doing things my own way. You don’t like that? You think I should care? Tough shit. If you think you can force me to change to conform to your views without a mob behind you just try it. And if you get your mob and I stand my ground tell me who you think the tough guy in that situation really is.
I’m not going to tell you how to be a “real” man because that’s something you figure out on your own. I am going to tell you to grow up, however, because what it takes to be a respectable adult acting responsibly in society balancing giving with taking is a bit more defined. If a little difficult to come to grips with at times. But unlike a rigid set of norms only meant to satisfy who-knows-which handful of self-important pricks that sold the idea of gender norms and their non-existent relation to sexual identity to the masses you’re trying to placate in the face of their misguided pressure even if it comes at your expense rising to the challenge of being a functional adult is something that will facilitate your ability to make your own happiness on your own terms.
Someone please tell me where this caricature of masculinity came from. Having a Y chromosome & a dick makes one a man, not guzzling cheap beer, sleeping around, sporting a sloppy beard & watching other men (often in skin tight pants) tackle each other while running around on astroturf. I’d much prefer the company of nerd boys in Marvel t shirts to play video games with. Eating kale, driving a Prius, being a virgin at age 24 & not indulging in enough booze to put a frat house to shame on Saturday night is preferable to the stereotype these morons keep insisting in the pinnacle of masculinity.
You’re not a man if you treat women as lesser human beings.
You’re not a man if you bully those who are smaller than you.
You’re not a man if you think you having a beard or not matters to anyone else.
You’re not a man if you force others to drink alcohol.
You’re not a man if you think your worth lies in your fuckability.
If you think you are, then you’re nothing but a tiny piece of dirt.
In Europe, it’s REAL football first, not that strange American non-foot thingy.
Baseball and basketball are not that big here. Rugby, cricket, handball, volleyball, etc...
Oh, and where’s the fifth?
In college, we STUDY, not play around on a grassy field.
@Niam2020 #28962
Well said. And the strange thing is that he seems to think that alcohol ISN’T a drug.
Isn’t that fucking precious. Let me be not as direct as Niam here (though he is probably accurate in his assessment of you) and say that all these things apply to you. So guess what, who the hell made you into the decider of who should or shouldn’t be “a man” based on things that you arbitrarily put together based on what applies to you? So let me see here: I don’t do drugs, I lift my body weight and I can grow a beard. On the other hand I don’t like any group sports (simply because I’m getting bored watching them and hate the “us vs. them” mentality they propagate), don’t drink at all and lost my virginity with 20. Oh and I’m gay, probably excludes me from being “a man” from the start, right?
Damn this is stupid. So what if someone like me prefers sports like bodybuilding over YOUR favorite sports? Or doesn’t like sport at all? Do I lose my Y-chromosome and cis-orientation that way? I lost my virginity late, but was that such an important goal? I had enough sex later on that it sometimes embarrasses me to speak of it in front of my friends (when the subject is brought up) and definitely embarrasses my boyfriend if I do. Does that make me a man in your eyes?
You know, fuck it, all of this is clearly just you trying to keep your unwarranted feelings of superiority to everyone who is not like you and that, in my opinion, is so pathetic and insecure, that if you were like you describe and you were right with your definition of a man, I would HAPPILY declare myself a “beta male soyboy” in an instant and never look back.
Honestly it was really easy to spot this as bait before I even checked the source, but I’ve known enough who seriously agree with this entire statement. There is so much of this stupid out there that people telling this as a joke really should understand why a lot of us can’t really just laugh at this shit.
@Creativerealms #28939
To me it sounds like a distaff counterpart to “Granola Girl”.
It should be reclaimed and soy’s association with Eastern Cultures with their martial arts, samurai and huge populations should be emphasized.
Just completely take the wind out of the wingnut’s sails! Soy’s nutritious! How that insulting?!
********
If it’s the “turn you female aspect”, then what’s wrong with being female?! Kalika-Mata’s female….and she’s an awesome all-powerful Dark-Goddess who can destroy demons! Beside; The “estrogen” in Soy does not equal “Animal Sex Estrogen”!
“Soyboy” should be a source of pride!
********
Regarding beards; I prefer light stubble and goatees over a full thick face-full-of-fur!
Case in point….I like my Donhnall Gleeason clean-shaven or eave with with a light stubble or thin beard….

….The thick orange “Ginger Mountain Man” look does nothing for me….
image
….Why hide that pretty face, “Grizzly Gleeason”?
Bushy beards retain junk like crumbs. That’s gross! Sure; They wash and comb it but….well….it just doesn’t get my mojo working.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
