Most of my male role models are from fiction. But Alex Honnold is one of the few real ones. He followed his dreams and has given back to many communities in need.

My father. My dad is very good at communicating (at times) and doesn’treally give into the toxic masculinity BS. He’s generally always calm and optimistic, no matter the situation.
This is a tricky one, lots of anti-role models come to mind. Maybe from fiction, Mikael Blomkvist comes to mind, confident, non-pushy, goes with the flow
I don’t know that I have any male role models.
I actually don’t have any when it comes to understanding sex.
Richard Feynman is my role model. He could sleep with young students, win a Nobel prize in physics, and be an artist, loving life. I wish I had his charm.

Difficult to pick a real person, as my inner feeling about it is deeply personal. Not to say I’ve got any particular and unusual kink, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Just that I’m trying think more broadly than necessarily comparing to anyone as inherent in that is always in trying to measure up to that. I admire people who are sensitive, I guess, who are generous lovers as I wish myself to be for my partner. I want to express myself tenderly, embracing passionately, not being in a hurry bit going slow at least at first to really savour the sensual experience for myself and my partner.
I’m so much more naturally a giver, I’d love to learn to be able to receive with more ease and grace, and be able to guide my partner with ease abd grace in how she may be able to please me. I only hope that she has a genuine and sincere curiosity and desire to make me feel good that is palpable to me, as it’s important for me to feel her urgency of desire for me even just through her touch. Sensuality is important to me. Whoever famous personality or public figure fits that bill, let that be them.

My boxing coach, because he is an expert in his field, understands how to drive performance and can work out what I need to learn and how best to get me there.
My Dad is another strong role model to me because of everything he has done for me through life.
My best friend. He never lets his emotions run his decisions or rule his mental health. I wish I could be like him. He lets anxiety run off like it’s no big deal. He walks with such confidence in all areas of his life.
Captain America I know he’s fictional but hey. He always looks for the best in others and is not afraid to hold true to his beliefs. Also sometimes I feel like Im lost in time and so is he.

Most of my male role models are unapologetic nature nerds. Goofy, nerdy, nature loving dudes who don’t care about exuding a macho image they’re just doing them and it’s awesome. I try to channel that energy but sometimes I’ve been ashamed of it and have felt sort of suppressed in relationships.

Definitely my father he passed away two years ago. He was an old-school farmer he always knew what he wanted had a vision and would go after it. But at the same time wasn’t too aggressive about it and would take people along the journey with him. He definitely wasn’t perfect but it was for sure my role model.

Sam Smith for being unapologetically queer and emotional. My dad for being a goofball who cares and cries in front of me. Dan Reynolds for being vulnerable on stage during concerts and talking about mental health.Josh and Tyler from 21 pilots for their music and vulnerability through that.

They are authentic, they do not conform to social scripts, they are intelligent and strong, compassionate and gentle, leaders who serve others and lift others up
I think my dad is my main one. He is hard working, plans, and tries to make solid decisions for his future. There’s a couple other investors I look up to. I don’t know what other role models I have that are male. Maybe my grandpa for being fun and caring
I struggle with this one. I’m an emotional man but never really grew up around that. But am confident in accepting this as myself. It isn’t that I had negative male role models, more I am not like them.

Hmm. The founder of my company is a role model for me. He is ambitious but kind. He is a family man but has a very successful career. He is uplifting and lively.
