Dude that's how a large group of guys think anyway. If your family taught you well, then gender doesn't matter.
A "true" man can have a subjective definition and at the same time not. What I mean by that is men are defined by some general characteristics, which there are hundreds of resources to read on those, such as action, integrity, handiness, stoic, etc. I would watch:

And there more that have the same theme. Remember this question is influenced by what values are important, and realization of that answer, then there are people trying to sell you something...stay away from the "alpha" stuff. You're in a good place by asking these questions now because there is a large group of men who wait till a crisis or tragedy to learn this things.
There is the toxic side which is when hedonism or violence is thought to be manly.

So there is some confusion because we are taught to posture for our peers when we grow up and most of the time in our adult lives too. When does the mask or "faking it" start to become what we think is true. Men have been dealing with toxic men or AH for a long time, this isn't new. Learning to be emotional intelligent and empathizing with others is strength. But don't be fooled into thinking that being passive is the answer because you will have to fight for what you want in life. Use wisdom and discernment for the times, yes some need to admit their mistakes, but men still need to be masculine and not neutered.

Poetry in general on manliness, battle, love, and passion for living
Do your own research too.
Finally, at the end of the day you must be "YOUR OWN MAN". Considering everything above, you must apply these values and actions in your way. Think of your life like a sandwich,and your manliness as a special sauce. Anyone who refuses to reflect on their manhood and listen to other men is a fool, don't be that guy. Don't be trapped by pleasure, circumstances, or "when I get there", like I said above take action.
Lastly, I'm a Christian, may the Lord bless and keep on your journey to becoming the man you are meant to be.

Dirt cheap, pretty much all you'll ever need in terms of razors and blades. I got myself a nicer, full metal razor at some point, mostly for the looks, but this one is surprisingly sufficient. Used it for years. Toss the Wilkinson blades though, they're bad. (I know it's in German, bear with me. The brands are international I think, so you should get those anywhere)
