I was wondering how many men have a ‘man cave’.

Do you?

What sort of man cave do you have/would you like to have? What do you do in your man cave? What would you like to do if you had a man cave? Are there any particular ideas that you have, either fixed or flexible, about what a man cave should be? Perhaps you think man caves are an out-of-date concept in our 21st Century.

If you have a man cave, have you thought about the qualities of your cave? What is it about your man cave that you enjoy? What does it offer you? What aspects of yourself feel more empowered or more alive when you’re in your cave, compared to other parts of your life? How important is your man cave to you own sense of wellbeing, to your own sense of self, to your own sense of manhood?

Perhaps you’re unclear what exactly a man cave is? I was wondering about the best way to describe a man cave and then I discovered that the concept is clearly defined on Wikipedia. For some reason I was initially surprised to find it there… I’m not sure why. But it’s such an important concept, especially in today’s society, that it makes perfect sense that it is a clearly defined and articulated part of a collection of ideas and information that represents so much of our world today.

So how does Wikipedia define a man cave?

“A man cave, sometimes a mantuary or manspace, is a male sanctuary… where ‘guys can do as they please’ without fear of upsetting any female sensibility about house decor or design. Paula Aymer of Tufts University calls it the ‘last bastion of masculinity’… a man cave or man space is in some sense a reaction to feminine domestic power.”

It’s interesting that the definition of a man cave is essentially contrasted with the feminine. In fact, it’s about a place that is entirely masculine, where the feminine has now power, no authority and no influence. This is not surprising, given that for many years in many societies in history the woman’s domain was the home, while the man had his own domain the work as the hunter or the protector. How much has really changed?

If you are in a relationship, have you ever considered who holds the masculine energy in the relationship? Who is the decision maker? Who holds the power? As men we contain both masculine and feminine energy. The question is do you have the time, place and opportunity to explore your masculinity, your manhood? Is there any part of your life where your masculinity can fully express itself? What would/does your fully expressed manhood look like or feel like? What impact would/does it have on those around you?

A man space can be a place, such as a shed or a garage or a basement. Or it could be an activity. Do you get together with a bunch of mates on a Sunday evening and play poker on a regular basis? Do you have a local club where you are known and you feel like you belong with other men? Are you part of a sports team of men?

Psychologically it’s an understood fact that parts of ourselves which can’t find expression in healthy ways will often resort to expressing themselves in unhealthy ways – sometimes in ways that make us feel ‘out of control’. Our manhood is not different. It is important that, as men, we find regular and healthy ways in our lives for our masculinity to fully express itself… especially if it is truly the ‘last bastion of masculinity’.

Sometimes you may feel that your partner may not be supportive of your man space. Perhaps they’ve even expressed this directly to you. However, part of expressing your manhood is about standing strong and firm for something that you believe in. And healthy femininity usually understands this too.

When our masculinity is fully expressed as one important part of our psyche, in a balanced and healthy way, it can often lead to us being more present in the other parts of our lives. When we feel more content about who we are and our manhood we can often be better partners, better fathers, better sons, better men.

What kind of man are you? What kind of man do you want to be?

Vegan men can boast that they are scientifically sexier than omnivore males! It has been known for quite a while that smell plays a major role in sexual attraction. However, according to a recent faculty research study conducted at Charles University in Prague, vegan men emit a more sexually enticing scent than males who consume meat. The study was described in the National Center for Biotechnology Information as follows:

Seventeen male odor donors were on “meat” or “nonmeat” diet for 2 weeks wearing axillary pads to collect body odor during the final 24 hours of the diet. Fresh odor samples were assessed for their pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity, and intensity by 30 women not using hormonal contraceptives. We repeated the same procedure a month later with the same odor donors, each on the opposite diet than before. Results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the odor of donors when on the nonmeat diet was judged as significantly more attractive, more pleasant, and less intense. This suggests that red meat consumption has a negative impact on perceived body odor hedonicity.

Although this study at Charles University is one of the first organized research studies to be conducted on the topic of vegan sexuality, many authors, behavior analysts, dieticians, and other professionals have long claimed that vegans make better lovers. Vegans do generally have more energy, lower BMIs, fresher breath, and more radiant skin as a result of eating a plant based diet. Further, polls have revealed that vegans and vegetarians are more confident about their physical appearances than omnivores. Since experts say that sex is 90% psychological, it only stands to reason that non-meat eaters make superior lovers.

If you remain unconvinced of vegan males’ superior sexiness, then consider scientific research from the Erectile Dysfunction Institute which shows that eating meat is one of the most common causes for male impotence. Meat clogs up arteries leading to all organs, lowers sperm count, and decreases sperm life. Further, meat eaters have 13 percent less testosterone than vegans on average. After all, cows which produce milk and meat are repeatedly injected with hormonal growth formulas that are full of estrogen. Vegan men are literally manlier than omnivore males because they don’t consume estrogen via meat, dairy and eggs and, therefore, retain higher levels of testosterone throughout their lives.

Next time your male friends balk at salad, vegetables, and fruits, let them know that the manliest men go vegan!

How often do girls on the street smile to you, pay to you attention? Sometimes? Never? You wonder what you should do to make it happen?

It is very easy, just use your senses.

First of all, what attracts attention of a girl? You think appearance? You are wrong! There are 5 main aspects that girls value most of all.

• Masculinity . Women feel sorry for losers, but are fond of winners.
• Confidence . Women like self-confident men. The ones who know what they want, and how to achieve it.
• Determination . If you look at the girl for the whole evening, but do not dare to come closer to her, your chances are not high.
• Activity . As the man is proud of himself if he comes to the party in a luxurious car, the woman is proud of her man if he is Nr. 1 among the others.
• Persistence . Indecisive men are not valued not only by women, but at work either.
• Calmness .

If a man possesses these qualities, he can do nothing at all but be a favorite among the women.

Though this is not enough. After you gained her attention, you have to conquer her. How? Just make a first step, or otherwise in the evening you will be again watching football with a bottle of beer.

Now you have to take a second step to call her and ask her for a date, on condition you don't want to spend an evening with you friends instead of staying with her and nicely chatting in a cozy cafe.

Yes, it is high time to make a third step and invite her to your apartment. This might not be very easy but you must try.

So, don't you think it is much better to try to change yourself than every night to think that the girls you met couldn't have an opportunity to get to know you better.

Advice. What should you pay your attention to?

Your walk should be smooth, slow enough. Pay attention to the way the superstars walk (Johnny Depp, Richard Gere).

Bearing – straighten your shoulders, center of gravity a bit downwards. Keep your head in a way that your chin is parallel to the ground.

Your look should radiate kindness, it is better to smile a bit.

Voice . It is preferable to talk to the girls in a deep voice, which is at the same time ingratiating, confidential, soft and tender.

It has never been a more confusing time for men and knowing how to date an empowered woman. When the roles reverse and a woman is more confident or as confident as a man, male insecurities are inevitable. Men have work to do; we have to embrace the masculinity that we allowed the modern feminist movement to emasculate out of us. We have to grow a pair. That means stepping up our confidence. A confident woman doesn’t want a submissive man; she is secretly hoping to find a man even more confident than she is!

I was breaking up with a girlfriend a while back and she stabbed me with a harsh criticism. I wasn’t assertive enough for her. I tend to be pretty laid back about things and while I saw her point, I also saw how she emasculated me in her own head. I was new to the city and didn’t know where to go or what to do, so she often chose what we did together. She told me she wanted me to be bolder about choosing where we went. The interesting thing was that I often did that and conveniently those were all the nights she chose to pass and spend the evening on the couch. Those were the nights I wish I had decided to go anyway and leave her sitting on the couch by herself.

When is it okay for a man to be a man? When is a woman too assertive? The final verdict is going to be different for everyone. Men need to embrace the strong confident energy that is masculinity. This includes being sexually forward and assertive. A strong confident woman wants nothing more than to have an assertive man in the bedroom. Men love when an empowered woman enjoys sex and is assertive in the bedroom, but as soon as that assertiveness leaves the bedroom men are often intimidated by it.

Men are much simpler than you realize ladies. We know you pull all the strings, but if you let us think we are in charge more often we both get what we want. We feel more dominant and you get to see us confident and assertive. I know if you tell us to be strong and assertive it defeats the point, however setting up situations where have to be more assertive is key. Let us kill the bug in the house; let us be in charge of the cars and fixing mechanical objects. Even if you know it will be faster just to call someone, let us have our moment. Tell us we are in charge of planning the evening on Friday. Set up situations where we can be assertive instead of jumping in and doing it yourself. Give use the opportunity to be assertive and you will be happier when we are.

Guys, let’s step it up a notch. A cardinal sin is if she asks, “what do you want to do?” and you answer, “I don’t know.” Be a man, have a plan, in fact have back up plans. You need to take the lead. She’ll tell you when the plan sucks or needs to be changed, but if you at least have a plan, then you are being a man! Here is another tip. When she cancels on an idea and wants to just stay home, go do it anyway without her.

Assertiveness and confidence is so incredibly attractive as long as it doesn’t threaten someone else’s sense of self-confidence. You as an empowered woman in a relationship should not come at the price of an emasculated man. Leave room for a man to be confident. Set him up to feel like he is in charge sometimes, we both know who is really in charge. Guys, time to sack up and stand up for what you want to do. Stand your ground when women try to change things about you that you enjoy or things that don’t even affect her. The easiest way to be dominant without crossing her boundaries is to be assertive about what you want, but not tell her what she should want or do.

Being a confident man or woman is not about always being dominant or getting what you want. It is about knowing who you are and not compromising on the important stuff. Most of us understand when it’s important; the little things are what cause so much drama. Compromise by letting others win on the little stuff so you can be assertive on what is important to you. The most confident leaders know when to let others lead and empower them to feel strong and confident. As a confident woman, let men win sometimes, our ego’s are much more fragile. As a man, learn that being confident and dominant is actually what women appreciate more.

What someone may find is that they have the inclination to keep their challenges to themselves, and perhaps they have been this way for as long as they can remember. They may believe that sharing what is going on for them would make them look weak or incapable, for instance.

Therefore, even though they will be an interdependent human being, they will act as though they are completely independent. Keeping everything to themselves is likely to make their life harder than it needs to be.

Hidden

So if they do have people in their life, it is going to be hard for them to know if one is going through a challenging time. One will, ultimately, be carrying all of their weight by themselves.

Alternatively, one may keep certain things to themselves, believing that something bad would happen if they were to open up about these things. Once again, this will cause them carry a lot of weight.

Reaching Out

If they were change their approach and started to open up, they would most likely find that their life gets easier. By sharing what they are going through, they may end up feeling a lot lighter.

And even if one keeps certain things to themselves, they could still feel as though a weight has been lifted from their shoulders after they have opened up about these things. Getting what they have hidden out into the open can also allow them to gain a different perspective and to feel more integrated.

The Truth

If they were their own island, there would be no need for them to share what they are going though with others. They would be totally self-sufficient and opening up to others wouldn’t do anything for them.

Still, this is not to say that one should just open up to anyone; it will be important for them to find the right people to open up to. These will be people who won’t judge them and who will be able to keep what they tell them to themselves.

A Shared Experience

What they can also find is that what is troubling them is also troubling another person or it may have troubled them in the past. Opening up will then allow them to realise that they are not the only one who is going through what they are going through.

This can take away a lot of the pressure that they are experiencing and it can even take away some of the shame that they may be experiencing. And if they can see that they are not the only one who is going through something, it can be a very liberating for them.

Final Thoughts

​

If one typically keeps things to themselves and they don’t feel comfortable talking to the people in their life, for whatever reason, it may be a good idea for them to reach out for the support of a counsellor or a therapist. The skills that they develop in this safe environment can then be transferred into the real world.

Learning how to attract females is an art in itself. However, it is an art only a few men have successfully mastered. Since women are dynamic beings with varying preferences, it would be a challenge to pinpoint specific personality traits that would make you attractive to them.

Here are some tips that you must keep in mind if you want to know how to attract females and win a date with the woman you’ve been eying on:

1. Develop a winning personality. You do not have to be extremely good looking for a woman to be attracted to you. Oftentimes, women prefer men who can carry themselves. Confident men earn more points over those good-looking ones who lack personality. But still, the winning formula is a combination of good looks and an irresistible personality.

2. Be confident. Women are attracted to men who exude confidence. They can tell if a man is comfortable in his own skin. With confidence comes superiority, which represents a typical alpha male personality. Despite women’s fight for equality, they actually prefer men who can take control and affirm their masculinity.

3. Be a good conversationalist. Women love good listeners. But aside from this, women are drawn towards intelligent men who are also good conversationalists. Women admire men who can easily converse about interesting and meaningful topics. If you want to know how to attract females, you do not have to be smart; you only need to know how to talk with sense.

Being a good conversationalist is one of the best ways to endear yourself to the heart of your female friend. So brush up on interesting topics by reading newspapers or magazines. This ensures that you have something to say about any topic any time of the day.

4. Be sensitive about body language. One of the best ways on how to attract females is by letting them know that you are interested in getting to know them more. If the situation does not permit a conversation, use body language signs to communicate or convey your interest in her.

Once you’ve picked your target, you can give her an occasional glance or look straight in her eye. Using your body to demonstrate your interest reflects a high level of confidence on your part. For a woman, a confident man is a major turn-on.

These are just basic tips that can get you started. Again, you have to consider the fact that a woman may have a variety of preferences. Hence, it is best to understand the woman’s psyche first before making your move.

More importantly, it is important for you to be sincere in your approach. Do not follow a certain tip that you read somewhere just because it claims to attract women.

Be creative in fusing different approaches until you can come up with your own. Infuse it with your personal touch until you master your own strategy on how to attract females.

Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a complex novel that could be considered postmodernist. To a varying extent, it raises the issue of gender, its structure inevitably exerting a considerable influence over how this theme is conveyed.

Dick’s novel is open to a variety of interpretations from a range of disciplines. However since its emergence in the latter half of the twentieth century, it is the ideas that loosely revolve around the banner of ‘postmodernism’ that have become a popular means to define this novel. On account of its bewildering and diverse complexity however, postmodernism as a movement is very difficult to describe. By the mid-1980s there was an academic shift towards postmodernism, in part as a reaction to modernism, although it could be viewed as a response to Marxism as well. Whereas Marxism tended to view people collectively, postmodernism stressed the role of the individual, putting an emphasis on the consideration of a person’s gender, race and sexual orientation, subjects that are apparent in Dick’s novels.

Several prominent thinkers have highlighted certain tendencies that they believe characterize the postmodern. Jean-Francois Lyotard stresses postmodernism’s scepticism regarding metanarratives. A metanarrative is an ideological structure that grants the legitimacy of certain actions, examples include Christianity, science, feminism and Marxism. Marxism as a metanarrative would view the eventual overthrow of capitalism by the proletariat – however capitalism’s resilience justifies postmodernist scepticism with the metanarrative of Marxism. It is ironic however that this distrust of metanarratives could be considered in itself a metanarrative. Fredric Jameson defines postmodernism as the outcome of an age of post-industrial capitalism, with multinational corporations now beyond the control of national governments. Jean Baudrillard meanwhile discussed the way in which image has come to dominate over substance. He highlights the pollution of the real by the ‘simulacrum’, the copy with no original.

The ideas of Lyotard, Jameson and Baudrillard all feature within the narrative of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Lyotard characterizes postmodernism by a mood of uncertainty and doubt, a mood which pervades Dick’s novel, escalating as the story continues, and perhaps climaxing at the revelation that the supposedly divine Mercer was just some drunken bit actor. Jameson’s ideas on the predominance of multinational corporations are apparent in the Western and Soviet governments’ inability to legislate against the Rosen Association. The androids – Roy, Irmgard, Max, Luba, Pris and Rachael – could be seen as Baudrillardian simulacra, copies without originals, and these might distract us from appreciating the human characters, such as Rick, Iran, Phil and John.

There is a pressing ambivalence between the real and the unreal in Dick’s novel, evident in the notion that the central theme of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is an exploration of the response of an individual to the universe in which he must live. Unable to remain whole, the protagonist Rick Deckard splits and occupies the schizoid half of his divided self, operating instead like a machine through the denial of his emotions, as if he were an android, while his schizoid self responds emotionally to his environment, yet still experiences intense anxiety.

In relation to this figurative ‘splitting’ of character, several other inhabitants of Dick’s novel, including the androids, are depicted as being doubles for various facets of Rick Deckard’s personality. From an economic basis, Rick is shown to be the breadwinner in his relationship and his partner, Iran, is portrayed as a housewife. However, in terms of any possible differentiation between masculinity and femininity in the novel, it is more fruitful to look at the relationship between Rick, the government assassin of androids (and presumably the story’s hero) and the android opera singer Luba Luft. Rick begins to question his own humanity when confronted by Luba, who points out that in his remorseless killing of androids, he himself could be considered an android, especially how he believes that the defining quality of an android is lack of empathy, ‘”Then,” Miss Luft said, “you must be an android”‘ (p.86). In contrast to Rick, Luba is portrayed as gentle and artistic – she sings Mozart beautifully and has a fondness for Edvard Munch, ‘Luba Luft… stood absorbed in the picture before her’ (p.113). Luba is murdered by Rick and Phil Resch, another assassin who also represents a facet of Rick’s character. The protagonist initially presumes that Resch is an android as he has encountered an individual with a complete lack of empathy. The irony however is that Resch is actually human.

One quality Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? possesses is that it doesn’t present any overriding opinion. Dick’s reliance on literary doubling and heavy use of metaphor ultimately mean it is very difficult to identify any superseding assertion in his novel, certainly one relating to gender, which as a theme is somewhat marginalized in the novel. In this case, masculinity is better understood if it is juxtaposed with its polar opposite, femininity. In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? the character of Rick Deckard appears to draw on a very particular masculine image, although due to the metaphorical dividing of his personality, and its various manifestations in other individuals throughout the book, it is difficult to arrive at any definitive statements on Dick’s part in regards to gender.

While the world of seduction becomes cloudy and hazy to a lot of Men, so to comes frustration and fatigue to those Men who have been lead down the wrong beaten track of becoming better with Women.

99% of seduction or pick-up companies out there will sell you on proven methods and technique to seduce Women effortlessly.

For example “Use this secret technique and her panties will fall off for you” type hook lines.

As Men we very logical based creatures. We like to hear that there are methods or techniques to achieving a “successful seduction” with a Woman.

We want to know fool-proof methods that offer us maximum reward for very little effort, making us constantly on the look out for even better ways that might yield a greater return.

There is a massive failure here.

These methods are all logically driven processes.

If you believe learning techniques or methods is the correct way to start to learn to develop attraction with Women then you need to wake up right now and get a taste of reality.

Attraction is feeling based, it’s not logical.

I will repeat it once more again for you just so you do not forget it!

Attraction is feeling based, it’s not logical.

I am here to tell you straight up that your own intelligence and mind has stopped you from attracting the Women you want into your life.

Filling your head with methods and techniques is completely the wrong thing to do.

What’s the correct alternative to filling your head with non-sense?

Becoming my in touch with yourself and your own masculinity. Fredrick Perls a well recognised psychiatrist and psychotherapist emphasises this transition perfectly.

We need to come to our senses. We need to come back into our own body, connect to senses.

A lot of Men have forgotten to connect to their own masculinity which is running through their body.

Being stuck in your mind creates frustration and anxiety, things which do not help you connect with Women.

The sensation of excitement rush through your body when you see a beautiful Woman.

This feeling can quickly lead to anxiety when you do not feel into these sensations and instead try to rationalise in your mind to stop yourself.

You see it’s not about methods or techniques but instead becoming better with yourself which automatically breeds congruence and confidence.

Confidence coming from the latin word Confidere “to trust from within”.

You have to recognise the power that lies inside of you and trust the feelings and sensations happening inside.

The rest takes care of itself.
