I am definitely traditionally masculine. In my spare time I love training boxing, weight lifting, watching a little sports, and camping. My job is mostly working outside and I go on some dangerous hikes. However I don’t make much and my family background are the blue collar salt of the earth type of people you mentioned. My blue collar family like what they like and that’s it. Cheap beer and sports make them happy.
When I think of these middle class men who project their idea of “real men” they always come from a privileged background and work a job that could be removed tomorrow and society would never notice.
This also makes me think of the three combat veterans I know who the men you describe would worship. The one vet did like three tours and has been in the army for almost 20 years. He’s the stereotypical man’s man but the guy is the biggest fucking nerd ever. Plays video games all the time and is huge into DnD. The other one is a gamer too and my cousin just smokes a ton of weed and is a laborer.
The Fight Club speech about being God’s middle children always comes up in my mind when I think of these macho guys. These guys have no struggle, no Great War, they had everything come to them so they have to buy and prove to everyone how tough they are.
Edit: I never feel the need to show off my “manly” hobbies to other people unless they ask.

Are you telling me this guy isn't a real operator?
Dude is wearing a Patagucci hat in one of his posts lmao.
Edit: what in the actual hell is that sub? OP this is exactly who you’re talking about.
I love this one
The shit people will do instead of basic introspection. It's mind-blowing to be honest.
Oh no. Why carry that much in your pocket?
Also what’s the obsession with watches?

I like cheap mech watches because its cool to have a little machine ticking on your wrist.
Anything over like 2-300 stops being a tool and just doing conspicuous consumption.
True!
couldn't find that one

I wish I had a good explanation but I feel like it has something to do with having a broken brain or trying to get their innocence back.
