Examples of positive masculinity

[Silvermoth]

Hi all,

I thought it would be fun to see some examples of positive masculinity, like nice guys being nice, just as a change of tone from everything else.




They can be a fictional guy, a well known one or just a shout out to a guy in your life who has helped you out

As far as fictional characters, I would say Gomez Addams definitely qualifies. I don't know if you knew about the channel, but there's a page on YouTube, Cinema Therapy, that talks about it in detail:

This is a fantastic idea, we need this far more than guys like Musk, Tate, Sneako etc...those toxic Masculine guys.

For me the best example is superman and Jon Kent. I really like superman’s masculinity especially as someone who aims to help and not to hurt

Even though in this image, it looks like Ckark is about to backhand Jonathan Kent.

But you're right; they're another good example of positive masculinity.

I LOVE Gomez!

I would also add Peter Parker.

A guy who just wants to use his gifts to do some good for the world and pay his rent.

Peter Parker is another good example, you're right.

If you know the setting of this scene, you understand. But a Superman who washes his love of his life’s hair and carries her to bed when she’s too weak to move on her own…a Man of Steel indeed. Tyler’s Clark inspires me to be a better man.


An Austrian naval hero who, after being conscripted into the Nazi military proceeds to publicly oppose the Nazi regime, rallying the people in rebellion…by singing a song.
That’s badass.
Bless my homeland forever, mother &$?!ers.

Now hear me out with this choice...



Magnus may have done SEVERAL questionable things, but at his core he is a good man and mentor who loves all of his mutant brothers and sisters unconditionally.

He puts them before himself.

Cinema Therapy also has a pretty good video about Aragorn as an example of positive masculinity.

I’m not sure how the last two posts really fit with what this thread is about. I mean, I like Hemsworth and Reynolds as much as the next guy, but this isn’t just a “handsome superhero guy” thread.

Oh yeah Aragorn is a good one
