Being a man is tough today. From harrowing deadlines at work to placating the never-appeased girlfriend, life is a many-thorned disaster for most men today. No wonder some of the things that made real men seem to have disappeared before you can say Playboy! In an ongoing effort to save man from the world, here are a few things he needs to do to get back in the game and be counted as a real man.
Be more assertive

Are you a man? Then why do you go wimpy in front of your girl and stay silent when your boss overloads you with work? Put an end to your imaginary what-ifs and take a hard stand. If you want the remote, then take it and decide once and for all who controls the channels at home. Tell your boss that you are doing your share of work and any more work should be equally divided within the team. Real men are never afraid of asserting themselves. And for god's sake, stop acting so scared all the time!
Go drinking with buddies

Do you spend your weekend working from home and watching silly Rohit Shetty movies? If you are yearning for a break from your sad routine, then rewind to the time when you had real friends and with whom you went out on weekend to chill. Get up and make the phone call now. Reconnect with your friends and go drinking like the days of yore. Hopefully, you'll be able your drinks and prove you're a real man.

We keep harping about this but today's men are simply too plugged in to their devices. They may know how to hack into someone's account but tell them to fix a broken door or replace a light and they'll look at you in wonder. Don't belong to this category. Learn how to do basic household chores. If your father can do it, so can you. No excuses!
Shaving like a dream

We don't really know how this trend started but the Gilette and Old Spice days when men took shaving seriously seems to have vanished into thick foam. Ironically, in an age where electric shavers offer more convenience, shaving has become such a huge chore that most men think nothing of showing up with a stubble. Nobody may say it to your face buddy, but that facial hair is doing you no good. Go back to the old school of shaving every day.

Ok, you don't need to be Jackie Chan or Vijender Singh, but don't be the guy no one takes seriously as well. As a man, your physicality is the first thing that others should notice and appreciate about you. Have a healthy body frame and know a few ways to attack and defend yourself in case of a fight. In the good old days when there were no courts to drag cases for eons, most disputes were decided with a fight. Be man enough to fight for yourself at the very least.
