As a 18-year old, Tanner's comment on trying to display age and status without earning it was very interesting. I have always wondered why wearing a suit, no matter how fashionably, would always look unfamiliar to me in informal settings
Thanks for this video. As a short rather stocky man about 5 ft 6 inches tall , I have felt masculine by virtue of being on the muscular side. I cannot grow a full beard even at my at of 51. These small details seem to indicate masculinity. It has been a struggle to feel conformable in my own clothes this way. As you said the older you get the less you care about as you have conquered many of life's challenges to add to your list of accomplishments.
This may be a weird one, but I'm fairly short (5' 7"), and was raised by a single mother. I'm not particularly manly, and I'm totally cool with that. Everyone has insecurities, but lack of manliness, or living up to a gender stereotype, has never been one of mine.
I agree, I don't want tile in a bedroom or living room. : ) I was a bit confused why he says dressing the way you do is important, yet he says, they are just clothes. Besides, the short part of the tie can be tucked into the shirt itself where it's never seen. I've done it and no one even knows. The college guy can wear a suit, just get rid of the tie, or just wear a blazer and nice pants. I like to see people well dressed, I think it's an art of a different kind to put things together and make it look great. For myself, I'm a bit more relaxed, but I do appreciate other peoples efforts.
Give me a few weeks. Its still cold up here but its not so bad up here this weekend so I'll test out the fragrance. I'll hit you on FB once again with another video to show you what our video will be like. I will be deactivating this account later tonight or tomorrow evening at the latest.
Okay, height has nothing to do with masculinity. I know 6'4' people who are not masculine (I'm not saying it's bad), and 5'0'' people who are very masculine.
Well short skinny guys come off more feminine because the vast majority of short skinny people are women. It doesn't have much to do with actual masculinity but it has a great deal to do with percived masculinity and we all know what truly matters is what the world think of us.
That's bullshit. Short guys come off more feminine, because they feel more feminine. As long as they OBVIOUSLY have a dick, they are masculine. Period.
I really enjoyed this video, I have always tried to look my best, but now at 72 years old, I am learning to look my best and be my best without trying.
We love Tanner and his style, however to say he doesn't care about the way a tie is tied, is just silly for someone who spends so much time on the details of mens style.
My voice is pretty high pitched, so I get mistaken as a trans guy because of that (and I'm cis). After some time I got used to it and ignored those mistakes.
The tie looks bad. Just get shorter ties that work for you. I am 6’ 3”, and the narrow end of ties for me falls much shorter than that with the wider end falling where it should on the belt. If your tie is too long like in that picture, why not tuck the full length of the skinny end into the dress shirt? Please don’t tuck the end into your pants!...
+Reder Blue I've got several other guests coming soon (mostly other TH-camrs). Even though Tanner isn't a shorter man, he brings a unique perspective that I haven't heard anywhere else. That's why I really value his opinion and wanted to share it with you guys. But I hear you. Lmk if you have any suggestions for future guests!
The Modest Man idk man. invite prince? lmao. its just odd because the title is how to feel like a man without looking like one... and the guest looks manly as fck lol. this is like victoria secret models telling big girls that they are sexy.
Well we covered a lot in a 19 minute conversation. The title is about one topic (of many). But to your point, I don't think you need to experience something firsthand to be qualified to talk about about or teach it. Some of the athletes make terrible coaches. Tanner is uniquely qualified to talk about style, given his background. He's a great coach for any man - short, tall, manly, etc.
Insistence on asserting one's masculinity seems like a symptom of real insecurity to me, mixed with outdated gender stereotypes and a touch of misogyny -- not trying to disrespect y'all it just feels pretty desperate; but that's me.
I don’t think it’s important to “assert” your masculinity, personally. I do think it’s important to feel like a man - whatever that means to you - if it helps you feel happy and confident. I don’t think anyone will agree on a universal definition of masculinity, and I think that’s okay.
I wish the advice were laid out that way then; if it were titled "how to be confident and assured of yourself" -- actually very much like your other video about just that.. you had I think 5 tips for gaining confidence -- then I'd have no argument, I thought that was a great video and great advice. Just the equation of masculinity with confidence I think is.. well wrong and dangerous because if people buy that what do you think their opinion of say effeminate gay guys will become? They're more likely to have disdain for femme-types, be they male or female. That's what bothers me about it; otherwise I appreciate what you're doing.
@@jamielannister3627 For the height not so much . As for the body it gets bigger if I keep going to the gym and take some protein otherwise my body goes back to small haha. If I work hard at the gym I can get bigger but that means I have to keep doing it.
Good Content Bro
+Gentleman's Gazette thx dude
Gentleman's Gazette agreed, but Im trying to imagine you saying 'bro'
Such a fun conversation Brock! Thanks for posting this up. Can't wait to hang out again.
Right on!

+Lyric Barnik yeah that was a very interesting point.
I like the touch of including Tanner Guzy's channel theme at the end. Good convo. I'd like to see you two team up again.
Glad someone noticed the music!

Well said!
1:46 omg the arrows!!! cry laughing!
don't be so hard on yourself, it was hilarious though!
I love this. My family has always thought being a man was with age, whereas I thought it was more of a mental thing.
This may be a weird one, but I'm fairly short (5' 7"), and was raised by a single mother. I'm not particularly manly, and I'm totally cool with that. Everyone has insecurities, but lack of manliness, or living up to a gender stereotype, has never been one of mine.
+drewski5150 glad to hear that! You're right, everyone is unique.
Wow, this is excellent content. Thank you for creating original videos outside the norm of typical style channels.
I really enjoyed this conversation. Thanks!!

Great convo that touched on points not often discussed.Concern about being short, confidence level coming with experience perfect points.
Excellent video, Brock. I don't get a chance to wear suits to be honest but this was an interesting video to watch.
Yo! When are we doing our review??
Give me a few weeks. Its still cold up here but its not so bad up here this weekend so I'll test out the fragrance. I'll hit you on FB once again with another video to show you what our video will be like. I will be deactivating this account later tonight or tomorrow evening at the latest.
Awesome discussion!
Thanks! Looking forward to the next Primer vid with those sweet edits...
Can't get enough of that Tanner guy.
That makes two of us!

Great talk fellas!
This video is important
Yeah man, good stuff.
Great conversation.
Youre an awsome man great content
Awesome vid! ♠️
Thanks, Carlos! Been enjoying your channel...keep it up.
this is awesome, thank you.
You need to do more of this.
Best regards
F.
Noted.
We love Tanner and his style, however to say he doesn't care about the way a tie is tied, is just silly for someone who spends so much time on the details of mens style.
Woah, you're 32! Looking good! It's nice to look young sometimes...
sure he looks good, but...this is exactly what 32 looks like.
Making a point of the effortlessness, kind of makes it seem an effort.
My voice is pretty high pitched, so I get mistaken as a trans guy because of that (and I'm cis). After some time I got used to it and ignored those mistakes.
nice music man ;)
Figured I use Tanner's intro music for this one!
Wood look plank tile is the best
wow i always thought tanner was like 5'8

Woah whats the intro song man?
Good "CONTENT" guys! haha
+cardinal karumuna #dudeareyoucreatingcontentbro?
I dont think he is the right guest. You need someone who is short, no beard, not muscular, and thin but manly AF.

That’s Brock

@@zacharywozniak1513 I agree
Height has nothing to do with masculinity
I’m 30 and I look like a dam teenager
Pura Periculo
I'm 37 and some high school kids are bigger and look older than me lol

Oh! I think RDJ just killed himself :D :D
