what makes a man weak?

The last century has brought upon a rise of needy insecure emasculated and emotionally volatile men who make their partners feel that they are dating a child. I am frankly one of them.

Define the traits of said omega male.

The subservient male is not a product of feminism or the last century. The nature of dominance and submission is probably as old as the human race itself; it makes sense that some people were stronger than others, and that they had more power than others.

"Weak" is only applicable in relative terms. There are certain women out there who could make me weak probably; but not all of them can. Not all women are created equal.

Inability to fight/stand up for oneself during confrontation.
What makes a man weak

1) the person that abuses women

2) the man who cannot speak to support or defend his wife or partner

3) the one who cannot tell the truth
And conceals his true identity

4) the one who cannot ask for her hand in marriage if he claimed he was 'in love' and 'liked' her.

someone who is scared to stand up for himself (or others)
someone who is scared of fighting or bad at it
someone who isn't very strong (obviously)
(I personally wouldn't say someone who is "immoral" is weak, for example)

Actually the behavioral traits or the reasons why he has those traits (low T)

It's strange, high testosterone doesn't necessarily make a person violent or aggressive either, it boosts mood and helps focus.

Come on Riku - you're not going to self-improve by beating yourself up. :redface:

To answer your question, "what are the qualities of weakness in adults?": hatred, lack of self-control, cowardice (this is not the same as being scared), envy, possessiveness and cruelty. Manhood is not the direct opposite of womanhood per se but rather is the opposite of childhood. In all honesty, your first paragraph isn't all that accurate, masculinity hasn't gone but is merely changing as it has always done. You crave simpler times that didn't exist.

Currently preparing for finals and seeking a teaching placement after graduation (touch wood)- one already in mind.
Applying for Camp America in 2015 if all goes to plan-would do this year but my grad ceremony clashes with the placement!
Have discussed re referral for therapeutic intervention with counsellor especially regarding limiting dependency and neurotic compulsions.
Some headway with fitness...slight setback on behalf of Easter eggs from friends and relatives :-P

Men who still believe that 'Alpha' and 'Beta' is an appropriate way of classifying themselves, and who believe that men who show emotions seriously need to 'man up.'

Interesting list. Yeah I don't mean to be sexist and almost invariably do :-o

I beat myself up to acknowledge them? Hmm

I don't crave simpler times, I'm one of the least traditionally manly guys you'll meet :-P

So what is cowardice? That's a great point btw, relates to my related thread 'what is the difference between worrying and whining'

Cowardice: not facing up to your fears and running away (metaphorically or physically) and that includes fears of showing emotion and being perceived as weak - hiding behind a false stoicism, though a moderate does of stoicism is perfectly healthy.
