How do I become masculine with no present/past father figure?

I was raised by my mother and my sisters and because of that I never got to know how to be a real man. I find it hard to make male friends but I can have girl friends easily, and they would never see me as a romantic partner and it kills me.

I know it's pathetic to open up here and none of you care about some random but I'm so fricking sick of it I can't even sleep any more. I want to change so fricking bad.

Also, since this is a fitness board how do I gain muscle and lose fat?

    No More Mr. Nice Guy is for you.
    But in the end you have to stop looking for guidance/a father figure and become a self-reliant and responsible adult on your own. Nobody's coming to save you.

      most important thing to realise OP, the world is against you (and that's ok)
      no one cares if you frick up your life, no one cares if you get addicted to this or that
      you need to be self motivated, set a goal and go for it.
      don't compromise, don't worry what others will think. don't worry about if your good enough. don't seek validation from others.
      become an unrelenting force for good in your own life and the lives of those you care for, then you will truly be a man.

        Good post. It’s quite a liberating thing I think, the fact there is no all knowing person to come help you means you can do whatever you want.

        to add onto this, rather than seek validation/approval from others, be the person that provides it. people will probably follow someone who is brave but will definitely follow someone who acknowledges the bravery of others too.

      not op, but i read that book and honestly didn't understand why everybody hypes it so much.

      It's about the relationship and marriage problems of middle-aged men. I'm a 20-something khv. What parts of this book are supposed to speak to me and tell me anything?

    When I have a rest day, I like to sit in my local park and when a child comes near ill just say a couple of encouraging phrases to them. I do this because there are far too many fatherless homes out there now. I know I'll never be a father myself but I can still try to help some children this way.

    find a mentor, even if its a one sided stream (beware scammers). introspect. meet with men and build each other, as its a common problem of our time. teach where you can, so you grow on your own lessons. be physical and genuine.

    and if your father is demasculated, help him save himself so you can grow.

    ignore performative masculinity, go for true functional masculinity: protection, providing, physical, will to necessity, exploration, teaching about the world, stoic in hardship, goofy in routine.

    get a constructive hobby where you build things.
    get into mildly competitive social things like an esport
    set a goal for yourself in what you want to learn or accomplish
    a mentor or teacher/guru will come naturally in these situations.
    realize men and women are biologically and mentally different.

      Taxi driver, it's about masculinity in the modern world, crippling solidarity and overcoming war trauma. One of the best character studies in film history.

    there are plenty of men with similar backgrounds
    I find myself to get along with other men who grew up without a father or father figure far better than with your average happy-childhood-guy

    these guys tend to be a more gloomy from time to time, but also more profound and serious
    the older ones including me developed some parternal characteristics to balance the lack of paternal care in our childhood and youth and tend to be quite caring
    we also tend to find ourselves in leadership or instructor positions quite often and we are far from being incels since there are plenty of women digging the dad-vibes we give off
    we put more thought into our relationships and I don't know of any hookup shit going on with the guys, but we all have stable relationships behind us even if only one is currently in an active one

    stop being a sad c**t thinking you are unique and stop identifying with your hardships

    and since this is a fitness board: all of the guys I talk about have been at some point or currently are lifting like me
    one of the guys I do swimming with twice a week
    go do some sports and be a regular at some place
    start talking to people and doing your thing and you will see things fall into place

        you don't
        this shit will keep surfacing from time to time or affect your thinking

        but you just asked how to get over it, because you don't want this? right?
        you already know damn well, that you don't want to let your hardships define yourself and this is the first step

        maybe there is some point in the future, where you get over it, but I havent reached that yet either
        but I got better at refocusing over the years
        it does get better if you keep reminding yourself, that this is NOT what you want
        you do not want to be a gloomy piece of shit who can't enjoy things
        remind yourself, until you get angry because your moronic brain keeps bringing up your trauma instead of some dopamine candy

        also start listening to other peoples troubles
        preferably people you like or admire and you suddenly realize, that there are great people out there with similar hardships
        then your monkey brain starts to make connections like
        >wait, you don't have to be an ugly miserable shit, just because you have seen some shit
        >that guy is great and he had an absent father as well
        >shit, maybe I ain't that much of a wreck after all

    Just ignore women who you're friends with, like don't text them for days, don't give attention unless you're meeting up or something, make them chase you. You can still initiate like asking if they wanna hang out or something but wait time. The more you chase women the less you get them, it sucks but that's how it is.

    The only thing that matters is to stand up when you know you should. Apply that to everything in life, and you'll be as masculine as you need to be. Everything else is just larp and cope.

    Just remember in your quest for knowledge and direction that all the information is worthless without action.
    You can spend thousands of hours on books, podcasts, videos and so on, and it won't matter one bit unless you actually DO things.

    Pretty much avoid comfort. Youre already on the right track as you have identified it as being an issue. My good friend is exactly where you are and it kills me. He leans into it and thinks its quirky that he couldnt even operate a screw driver if need be. His gf is more manly than him.
