Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

Here’s an idea for a sub which would help a lot if not most of the guys in the forum. I think it would be a great seller.  I want to know what Shannon and everyone else thinks of this.

“Develop your masculinity”

As you already know a lot if not most of the issues of the guys in this forum (and outside too in the world) are in large part due to a lack of strong masculinity.  Whether it be due to anti male societal programming, lack of a strong male role model growing up, being raised my single mothers etc etc…guys are struggling right now.

This sub would help you become the most masculine version of yourself.  It would also help heal trauma related to masculinity (for those that have been emasculated by their mother, abuse (sexual or non sexual), bullying etc).

I think this might be an easy sub to make as Shannon could take some of the scripting of existing subs that relates to masculinity (some of the goals in the self steam sub could be used for example as they relate to masculinity).

And of course: goals about focus, determination, setting boundaries, defending yourself from attacks, competitiveness, confidence, self reliance, fearlessness, courage. Goals about some of the stuff most guys just lack now a days in terms of masculine traits which is leading to their struggle.

Just like you have money magnet and UMS you can have this sub and alpha male.

Alpha male is to make you a top male. This sub is to make you the most masculine version of yourself.  You could probably include this sub in alpha male since it’s a multi stager but this would be a good option for those that don’t want a multi stager and just want to be more masculine and not necessarily a top male/alpha male.

This title has been in development in the back of my mind for a while now, actually.  But easy to make, it will not be.  There are a lot of factors to consider and work into balance before it can be built.  And ironically, many of the goals you state as suggestions for it are already in AM, and properly belong there instead.  

If I make a subliminal to focus into and develop one's masculinity, it will first and foremost have to focus on un-doing the crap society is feeding males (because there is a difference between being male and being a man) as a control tactic about how masculinity is toxic.  Then it will probably need to focus on fully accepting oneself as being the male they were born as and being fully comfortable with that. From there, it would focus you on embracing the masculine within and about yourself.

The difficult part - one of them, I should say - comes in trying to define the goals.  Where does one thing begin and another end within the "masculine"?  Is it appropriate to add this or leave that out?  And of course, no matter what I do, someone is going to be upset or complain because XYZ did or didn't happen.

But I agree, this is an important title for the guys, especially those growing up in the last 1-2-3 generations.

This program will be aimed at helping natural born males embrace their masculine nature and male-ness.  It's about self acceptance, self development and self achievement regarding and within one's masculinity.
