I would say that strong men tend to know themselves and play as themselves without any reservations or apologies. Strong men are authentic men. They can be narcissistic, but overtly so. Strong men are also truly moral men. Strong men pursue their own interests but from a driving motivation to make, build, grow and fix things for their wives, families, communities and country. The external view is one of selfish pursuits, but the acts of strong men are more selfless... they will run to the front-line to prevent the danger from reaching others.
There are two types of weak men.
One type of a weak man/men is inauthentic and play a character that gets them feedback that attempts to fill their insatiable egoism. Weak men are covert narcissists. Weak men claim to be moral men but rewrite the book of morality to suit their desires. Weak men tend to lack productive merit. They don't make, build, grow or fix things... they are more often rent-seekers, looters and gamblers sponging off the productive merit of the real men. Weak men run away from the front-line danger. Weak men exist with a constant resentment that they don't have what they deserve, and thus they lack the selfless drive, and their actions always prioritize what benefits them personally. This type of weak men join with other forces to destroy strong men as a way to make these weak men feel better by comparison.
The other type of weak man/men is broken down by society and life, and that has checked out of the strong man role... hopefully temporarily. These are men that have had their self-worth and self-confidence so shattered that they don't trust themselves running to the front-line to protect anyone else. They are not narcissistic, they are insecure. They are still authentic and moral men, but they don't act because they don't trust themselves to make good choices, and to carry the burden that they know they must. You can find many of them as homeless veterans, or veterans with PTSD. You can find this in the cohort of divorced dads that the system raped him and rewarded his terrible ex-wife. You more often can find it in young males that have been beaten down by the feminist-controlled education system and media.... and the destruction of the economy that is largely the result of policies from all the weak men in power.
This first type of weak man, IMO, tend to be liberal Democrats and some establishment Republicans that are snakes. The second type are the men that need to be saved and lifted up back to be effective strong men. The harm to these men also warrants a strong ant-feminist movement to sweep them out of education and media control where they are doing massive damage to society.
Allow me to elaborate. Society imposes often-contradictory expectations on men, sticks them with an unspoken, unwritten "curriculum" of "ask if you don't know," "drink from the fire hose," "read between the lines" & "pay attention" and expects them to wade through slings & arrows unflinchingly, but still treats success at life as a baseline and holds them personally responsible if they fail. "A real man would've pulled this off on his own, on the first try," goes the logic, as if we were all action-movie heroes.
I'm not suggesting life should be easy, but I AM saying society should prepare both men AND women to succeed if it is to later expect success from them, and not through decontextualized advice, half-truths and unspoken rules & expectations like we do now. Holding someone accountable for a substandard performance they were hot-dropped into with no preparation is improper and unjust.
Good stuff John.
I think there is one type of strong man.

Well said.
Very well said, John.
And the bigger question you didn't ask:
"What makes a weak man into a strong man?"

That's a STRONG argument, Amigo!
