You're not a man because you wear certain things, or act a certain way. You don't have to perform manliness.
You're a man because you are one. That's it!
There's no special kind of way that you have to be.
Wear what you want. Talk how you want. Hang out with who you want, and how you want.
If you're a man and you're doing it, that makes it something that men do.
