The Tough Guy Inside

It doesn’t matter if you are a short, tall, skinny, or a big guy, each guy deep inside is a tough guy. Some may not show it, but it is inside of them and that masculine instinct has ways of shining through. If you are trying to understand men, you have to know when and how guys like to show off their tough guy side. Here are a few opportune occasions when that tough side is displayed.

Sports are probably the first thing that comes to mind. It doesn’t matter if you are good at what you are doing, as long as everyone else thinks you know what you are doing. Pushing, shoving, and yelling to draw attention are prime examples of the tough guy shining through. Why else would guys drive a car 200 plus MPH, ride a bike thousand of miles, or get hit by a player twice their size in a football game? It’s because that’s tough.

Cars are another way for men to show off strength. Why else would they call them muscle cars? Knowing that you are sitting on 400 horses at a stop light is a great feeling. Even if you don’t use that power, you know its there. Some may mistake this with too much confidence, but really it’s just another way that men like to make themselves feel tough.

Even young boys have this built in instinct. Think back to when you were a kid, each of us knew a bully or two, and wherever there was a bully there was at least one kid man enough to stand up to them, even if they were half the size. Goes back to the point earlier, it doesn’t matter if you’re tough or not, it’s what people think. Perception is a large player in reality.

If you know what to look for you will see Dads play the tough guy all of the time. Every time a bad dream enters the house, Daddy’s can scare away the monsters. Mom is perfectly capable, but honestly, who takes the reins? They let boys take their daughters out on dates, and sit calmly through a lovey-dovey chick flicks surrounded by a theater of women for the sole purpose to spend time with their loving wife.

So why do guys go through all of this? Is it to impress, to build confidence, or simply to annoy? It’s probably a mix of all three, but fact of the matter is that all guys have that tough guy personality somewhere inside. It must be a guy thing.
