Be Tolerant with Other Men and Strict with Yourself

Simultaneously, he wants men to maintain strict self-discipline even though he often makes this point come out sarcastically because self-discipline is up to you.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help
As man I will admit on behalf of most men, we are afraid of asking for help because we will be viewed as weak men. Masculinity by Amerix doesn’t advocate for an isolated existence. Seeking assistance when needed is a sign of strength, not weakness. Recognizing our limitations and reaching out for support fosters a sense of community and cooperation.
