REAL BOYS by WILLIAM POLLACK, PH.D.

[seabeyond]

5. exactly. who is this nobody girl from long ago, dictating all of who you are. confidence?

how "real" is this. that would be the point of the book. what if you grew up knowing your worth, living in confidence in yourself, ability and masculinity where some no one girl can create such a tsuami in yourself to change all of who you are?

men, who are able to define their own masculinity instead of allowing a girl or society to dictate their masculinity for them are exactly that confident. and generally, those men are not looking at the girl that sees masculinity defined by society, where her need to be disrespected to feel loved, is an option.

really, you exactly proved the point of the book.

that does not mean a dependent, insecure, cry baby.

what men really do not get, when emotionally healthy, they are the ones NOT crying in their beer.
