In todays society, probably money. You can look like a goblin gremin hyperbeast like Neon and adin ross and still be considered masculine.

The closer you are in emulation of the Prophet ﷺ the more masculine and perfected you are

You can also refer to the traditional Somali masculine virtues for what we considered nin rag ah which are basically identical

I will choose just one virtue that might not come up here: self-reliance. A man must not be dependent on anyone if he can help it. A man is dependable, not a dependent. A man has self control and can control their emotions and behave appropriately.

Some of the behaviour we see now where a lot of grown men lack basic skills is a shortcoming in their masculinity.

Modern day men have it easier than their ancestors. Men these days don’t do the task that requires difficulty thanks to technology. Patriarchy is not common anymore. Women have become more reliable on themselves.

Fathers that aren’t presence it also one of the leading figures that downplays the growth of a man and their masculinity.

What makes a man masculine:

Is becoming independent

Accepting mistakes

Being productive

Avoiding things that get you hooked up or indulgences e.g bing eating, using internet all day and watching the T.V

Being a teacher: giving life lessons and your honesty of your past mistakes

Taking it

Desire to want to engage in galmo 24/7
Physical toughness
Temper control
Intellectual
The desire to bully/beat someone
High testosterone
Racist

 

[Vapour]

Having the courage to deal with a tough situation and the mental ability to find real solutions. No wallowing in Pity. No ignoring the problem. Not being delusional. So, Grit, Courage, and Shrewdness.

There is a good Christian Protestant prayer quote that perfectly encapsulates this way of thinking (I don't follow this Religion btw. It's just a good line.): God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

Respect women and elderly people
Stay focused on your goals and ambitions in life

Competence, or lack thereof.

There is quite nothing like a man who spent his 30s and all he has to show for it is a notch count.
