On good men vs those who are 'good at being a man, take a look at these passages:

There is a difference between being a good man and being good at being a man. Being a good man has to do with ideas about morality, ethics, religion, and behaving productively within a given civilizational structure. Being good at being a man is about showing other men that you are the kind of guy they’d want on their team if the shit hits the fan.

To protect and serve their own interests, the wealthy and privileged have used feminists and pacifists to promote a masculinity that has nothing to do with being good at being a man, and everything to do with being what they consider a “good man.” Their version of a good man is isolated from his peers, emotional, effectively impotent, easy to manage, and tactically inept.
Flamboyant doesn't always mean colorful, loud and obnoxious. It is very easy to tell if a man is gay - whether he intentionally or involuntarily gives off the indications varies, but usually when somebody comes out of the closet there's a reason their circle of friends and family are not surprised. To add to Jack Donovan's views on homosexuality, I suggest reading this passage:

Flamboyant dishonor is not a failure of strength or courage. Men who are flamboyant dishonorable are flagrant in their disregard for the esteem of their male peers. What we often call effeminacy is a theatrical rejection of masculine hierarchy and manly virtues. Masculinity is religious, and flamboyantly dishonorable men are blasphemers. Flamboyant dishonor is an insult to the core values of the male group. Flamboyant dishonor is an openly expressed lack of concern for one's reputation for strength, courage and mastery within the context of an honor group comprised primarily of other men... Flamboyant dishonor is a little bit like walking into that room full of men who are trying to get better at jiu-jitsu and insisting that they stop what they are doing and pay attention to your fantastic new tap-dancing routine. The flamboyantly dishonorable man seeks attention for something the male group doesn't value, or which isn't appropriate at a given time.

I'm a college undergrad (in a stem field) and will graduate in a few weeks. Although things could be worse, I feel a bit lost, hopeless and dazed in ennui. I feel numb and detached to almost anything and everything as opposed to my previous keen and more excited self. Maybe that's because I failed to build any meaningful relationships or experiences for myself in the past 4 years which have been pretty dull and uneventful.

Literature that deals with this feel? Is this a natural consequence of loneliness, cynicism and social seclusion?


Also, I am going to start stoner since I've heard good things from /lit about it. What should I go in expecting?
