How about you stfu and work out every now and then. There are books on how to lift.

>>16439228
>no fags
>Mishima
Mishima was literally a homosexual.

>>16439350
Yes he was homosexual but he wasn't a fag.

>>16439220
Linkola is based but since when are treehuggers manly?

>>16439358
Not all fags are homosexual but all homosexuals are fags.

>>16439369
Its the opposite you fag

>>16439369

I'm a fag but I'm not an homosexual

>>16439228
>Mishima
Especially the one where the main character denies his homosexuality, that was a great read

>>16439366
There is nothing manlier than nature you fucking loser. Materialism is for women.

Cormac mccarthy is the author you are looking for.

Evola isn't manly, he was a fancy-boy

Calm down, hippie. Put on some patchouli oil.

>I embrace the homosexual aesthetics but I really really love women i swear

physical well being is done through healthy food and walking. beyond this shows that you either do it because
-you are bored, aka a failure
-you try to fulfill some power fantasy, sign of betacuckness
-you are a homo, aka a failure
-you do it for women, aka a man devoted to please women even if you claim otherwise, like all men, aka a failure
-you cling to your health, aka a failure living in fear of death

=>you are a pleb as soon as you lift.

Hamsun fucked so much pussy he couldn't handle it. Fucked pussy so hard he even made one pussy rip. When meeting with Hitler he said

>All the Hemingway in this thread
I honestly always found his "rugged masculinity" to be a bit put-on. His characters always make a big game of puffing their chests and being outdoorsy but always get pushed around by women at the first opportunity. Kind of like the men in Casablanca.

>>16440767
Yes he's the definition of poser

I'm pretty sure Jack London blows all these fags out of the water.

>>16439228
>mishima
o he doesnt know does he
masculine as opposed to feminine is pathetic and foolish ignorance
those that transcend the duality become great

>>16440795
why

>>16440805
>o he doesnt know does he
I do, but that doesn't change anything. He was more manly and less faggy than most "straight" writers nowadays.

>>16439903
Two of them were homosexuals.

>>16440806
Lived impoverished life as a young lad toiling 16 hr days at a cannery for 10 cents an hr, was a hearty drinker from about age 13, keeping up with all his sailor buddies in Oakland by age 15, became a sailor himself at 16, oyster pirate at 17, traveled up to the Yukon for during the Klondike gold rush when he was 21 or 22, then became a successful writer by 25.

>>16440838
Pretty badass but not more so than those mentioned before.

>>16440284
that's the most pathetic cope i've ever seen

He was literally fucked in the ass by Gore Vidal and also blew him kek manly my ass.

>>16439220
Kaczynski

>>16442365
I agree, kerouac surrounded himself with degenerates and jews. his prose was cool but that’s as far as my compliments will go.

>>16439250
yea I workout daily faggot, I spend a lot of time up in the woods as well. The point of this post was to find authors who lived the same way.

>>16442365

He also traveled across the country several times over with barely a penny in his pocket. He adventured farther outside his bedroom than you ever will.

>he adventured farther then you ever will

doubt, I plan on traveling through the states in a few years. I am not 30 like you, I have plenty of time.

>>16440402
On average yeah probably. Xenophon in particular was a gigachad

>>16443664
but how will you travel? will it be in hotels and with money? or will you be staying at strangers houses and having dinner with their families? you will most likely be like a rat on its exercise wheel thinking its getting somewhere but you are just doing he same things in different places. get out of your comfort zone

>>16440598
yeah that's the new bourgeois trend

>>16443766
>Xenophon in particular
Read the "Odyssey of the Ten Thousand"

Then its just fun, and isn't really working out. There is a difference between "exercise" "and working out" Exercise is something you do for fun or naturally. Working out is when you go against the grain, and fight the uphill battle. If you find yourself fighting the uphill battle unnaturally, you are probably fighting some insecurity or trying to basically function when you should already be doing it naturally. It sucks, but sometimes it just comes with the autism.

>>16444911
Only a complete autist would give a fuck about the difference between exercise and working out. Stick to walking at the park then with the rest of the geriatrics.

>>16443664
>Plan
>In a few years

Yeah sounds like you're really going on an adventure there. You're probably gonna hop in your car and stay in hotels and eat out like a fag. Kerouac didn't plan, didn't wait, he wanted to go so he spent what he had saved on a bus ticket out of town, hitchhiked across the country, slept outside or on the floors of strangers homes, got grub with working class families and homeless folks. Rode in buckets of bolts masquerading as trucks.

Jim Harrison. Half the year he ran around in the desert and the other half he ran around in the mountains.

Stop assuming I will travel the states like a family of 5.

Once I finish school, I am hitting the road. I’ll sleep in my car or shack up with bitches on tinder because I am hot.

>>16439220
real men don't read books, let alone write them

>>16445865
Also, kerouac planned ahead before he would go. Especially his first venture towards frisco, he saved up money and made arrangements before hand. Ironic you fags will say, “oh that’s not a real adventure, you have a rough plan so it doesn’t count” while you shitpost about TE Lawrence all day on 4chan. enjoy being 27 you absolute tards

>>16444891
also he beat sylvia plath which is pretty funny

Ok so he drove around 50s america and did what? Interact with a bunch of decent people who want nothing to do with a dirty bum, or pump himself full of drugs along with his crew of degens. Not admirable

>>16445141
he was a fucking bum his whole adult life and was so poor because of it he had to spend his last days with his mom.

also he hung out with faggots and drug addicts. what a guy.

>>16443896
Once again, don't post if you have no idea what you're talking about.

>>16439220
>worked out or at the very least went outdoors a lot
Really? Is that all masculinity is to you, you stupid piece of shit?

>>16439220
St. Thomas Aquinas was fucking swole, nicknamed the Ox by his peers
He spent a lot of time travelling across Europe, often on foot.
Read;
>Commentary on the Nicomachean Ethics and >Summa Theologiae (the Timothy McDerrmott Concise Transl.)
I'd also say to read Marsilio Ficino who was a priest and a physician. His whole thing was to treat both body and soul through philosophy and his thought is very masculine as is Platonism generally. Read;
>Platonic Theology
>Three Books on Life
Also read;
>Virgil - Aeneid
>Dante - Divine Comedy
>Joseph De Maistre - St. Petersburg Dialogues
>Robert Heinlein - Starship Troopers
>>16441054
yes read Tolkien
If you've done Ficino you'll see parallels especially between Platonic Theology and The Silmarillion.
Hope this helps with your thumos cultivation anon

It's hilarious how hard /lit/ gets triggered over the concept of masculinity, it's the same thing on /co/ when you mention sports
Just soft little losers who were raised by mommy so they have no idea how a man should behave and developed a complex after being bullied

>>16439220
Hemingway is alright but I think Kurt Vonnegut is better.
Bukowski let's you see the side of manhood that's just fucking had it.
Graham Greene is alright, maybe a little more touchy feely without going overboard.
If you read 'narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass' you'll definitely get your masculinity fix, that guy took zero shit.
Also Julius Caesar wrote 2 books documenting his military conquest. 'Conquest of Gaul' and 'The Civil War'. If there was ever a hypermasculine power fantasy that actually happened, that's it

>>16439220
Also I forgot 'Abolition of Man' by CS Lewis

>>16439350
yeah but was he top or bottom doe (that's pretty relevant)

>>16440284
Lifting because it brings me closer to the platonic ideal of humanity and therefore closer to God, as we were made in his image.
