This post has made me realize the importance of truly knowing the core of who I am and the man I want to become. Pursuing my goals and striving for excellence has at times been difficult because I have allowed the criticism of others to affect my self worth. After reading this post today I feel like a new man. Truly inspirational.
Thank you Mr. Mckay

Thank you – The Art of Manliness is a breath of fresh air.

Never before have I seen such topical, engaging, and valuable content for men anywhere on the internet. I think you do a great service to “man-kind” everywhere.

I run an all-boys mentoring program in New York City and often use content from The Art of Manliness in the various talks I give to the students. The mentoring program promotes character, professionalism, and virtue by means of example and one-on-one mentoring. The articles found on The Art of Manliness provide me with convincing ways to present virtue to the boys and supply ample historical examples and quotes to back them up.

I would love to recommend this site to the boys themselves (and their fathers for that matter) but have recently been deterred by the raunchy diet ads featuring the midsections of poorly dressed women. Perhaps you are not aware of these ads or contract out your ad space to another company. Regardless, there are a few ads that are frequently found on your site which are not only inconsistent with your message but gross and offensive.

Nevertheless, the articles found on your site are superb. I hope many men find it a frequent source of insight and motivation.

Best wishes to The Art of Manliness.

Sincerely,
Andrew

Amazing post! This year should be about being your own man and making things happen for yourself.

Let your game speak.

Words to the Wise. Truly in this day and age it seems so very hard for a man to find his way in this world without a hundred and one stumbling blocks telling you how to eat, dress, think, and be.

If you liked this post…do yourself a favor; read Self Reliance in its entirety. Then read Heroism, the Over-Soul and Nature.

These essays take a few hours to get through…but its time well spent.

[...] Being Your own Man (Art Of Manliness) – Bart mentioned a different aspect of self reliance in his last post. This article follows that same sort of idea. It’s important to be true to yourself, and not a blind follower of anyone or anything else. Then you can quit relying on the evening news for your opinions and tv shows for your fashion advice… [...]
