I havent read much but I have never come across a guy in any book who is totally worth emulating. I'm tired with tragic over-philosophising romantics, who is it that bridges the gap between internal struggle and material contentment?
Eli Brown
Musashi
This should be required reading for young men IMO
Luis James
The main kid in In Praise Of Older Women
Doesn't over-think, doesn't stand in his own way, is outgoing, is knee-deep in the vagoo, has normal and adult relationships
Jaxon Bell
Ahab Dr Faustus Macbeth
True men run themselves into the jaws of hell in a desperate chase for power or revenge.
Matthew Sanders
Tim dorsey's character serge storms is pretty damn good
Gavin Wright
>Macbeth >True man
Have we read different plays? He did only what his wife wanted him to do
Thomas Hall
1000 pages...worth the time?
Noah Martinez
Every last bit of it. Trust me the first part alone will hook you.
Jace King
I concur, Musashi is amazing, took me only a week to read
Taiko is possibly even better, but that's because I like politics
Brody Johnson
Is it all fiction or is there anything you can "learn" from it?
Joshua Sanders
The Old Man, from Hemingway
Logan Williams
>He did only what his wife wanted him to do This may come as a shock but being a good husband was a noble pursuit for most of history. What is the point being manly if you cant even keep a woman content.
Daniel Ward
Short answer is yes. I wouldn't have said it should be required reading otherwise.
Thomas Barnes
Ignatious J. Reilly.
Elijah Martin
Being a good husband does not mean being a gullible fool always out to please.
Jonathan Morgan
You will need to be more persuasive before I start reading that
Andrew Cruz
You can easily just research the book yourself.
Michael Thomas
What are power and revenge worth? Why are you wasting our time with your masturbatory male-fantasy material.

>what is power for
are you really that simple minded
>revenge this is a social image thing. You take revenge so you don't look like a bitch and so people know you're not an easy target.
guess what sweetheart, shit is real try and dismiss it all you want as male-fantasy material, you'll only appear ignorant.
Noah Robinson
>You take revenge so you don't look like a bitch and so people know you're not an easy target.
Are you still talking about Ahab? Christ you don't understand his character at all, I doubt you have the reading comprehension for a menu

Ever seen Naked by Mike Leigh, its on youtube. its not a book but its a very Veeky Forums movie
Gavin Williams
Shinji Kubo
Aaron Howard
Patrick Bateman
Aaron Davis
>he cares about social image >he has to prove he isn't a bitch It is all pettiness and noise you fucking fool.
And you take revenge for justice.
"So you don't look like a bitch"? Only a bitch would say that shit.

Jaxson Long
Stoner. Dude has a wife who hates him but he still gets up and does his job every day without complaint even when people there hate him as well. Even in the end, he still doesn't complain, just goes about his business.
William Clark
You had one fucking job
Liam Long
I really admire the honor of samurai I guess, Lone Wolf and Cub has a great protag. Even without the Kill the Buddha arc, he just knew his way around the world, knew how to handle things, researched instead of going in blind so he wouldn't be tricked, etc.
Sam Vimes from Discworld is good is a really nice way, like he's realistic but he would lay down his life for any of his men, would sacrifice his own life for the good of the people etc.
Jonathan Bennett

You sound like the kind of guy who would get cheated on by his girlfriend, then murder the other guy.
Dominic Rodriguez
>Implying I'm not the guy who'd murder both
You sound like the kind of guy who would get happily cucked.

Please try to hide your newfaggotry. Start with the fucking Greeks and don't come back to Veeky Forums until you do.

>Doesn't over-think, doesn't stand in his own way, is outgoing, is knee-deep in the vagoo, has normal and adult relationships yes my goy, spend your time and energy earning money then spend your time, energy and money to be noticed by a few girls so that they let you try to make them cum, like they let dozens of boys beforehand and they will let dozens afterwards.
