Hello Men & Women,
I'm 35 years old software engineer, with excellent professional accomplishments, several qualities, ok but not great looks, a handful of true friends, and a few past relationships, usually met in dancing clubs.
I recently got dumped after a one year relationship, based on "I like you, but I don't love you". The only feedback I've got was not being man enough.
For example, I usually avoid conflicts (I got beaten often as a kid), of any kind. Two months ago I started going to self-defense classes, which I love.
Another example, even though I go only for beautiful women (maybe because I don't consider myself alone beautiful), when I'm in a relationship I feel insecure that she really likes me.
How do you manage / What activities do you do that boost your manly power and confidence, especially with other Men?
I'm not looking for stuff like sky-diving or crazy risk takings.
Really appreciate any advice, or books/articles recommendations (e.g. No more mr Nice Guy, by Robert A. Glover)
Thanks
