Get rid of the sex based ones and the "fake it til you make it" (cause it doesn't work), and the list is universal and more so if it was meant for women.
Love a girl who's confident, intelligent and isn't a damsel in distress, because most aren't.
In my defense, I actually faked being a functional human being and later found out that this is basically what kept me alive while my body was shutting down on me. So in my case, faking it until I made it actually resulted in multiple doctors telling me I'd done the impossible in even climbing out of bed and arriving at the doctor's office.
I was born a man biologically, but sometimes I ask myself. I am sitting here listening to K-Pop. How much of a man am I really? how much man-shit would I need to do to offset that? A Mike Tyson Tattoo in the face? running a Iron Man backwards? dressing like a 60s lumberjack? grow some manly beard? do crossfit until I look like a cloud vessel and shave my head so I look like a cross between Vic from the shield a circumcised penishead?
A real man would embrace the K-Pop and not question it. I say this half-jokingly, because there's some truth there: part of 'manliness' as traditionally defined, is confidence, or self-assurance, or whatever you want to call it. If you love a thing, then be sincere about that. Worrying about how others will see you based on what you like is antithetical to this stereotypical idea of manliness.
So it's actually more manly to like K-Pop and be proud about it ("yes, I do enjoy this! Thanks for noticing!") than to live in secret shame that this thing you like may not be accepted by others. You don't
need to be accepted by others*, because you've figured out the most important part: you accept yourself.
And really, a lot of the whole "manly" stuff ties back into that. Some people try to word it like "not caring what others think" or whatever, but it's not that. It's not that you don't care, it's that you don't
fear. Too many people try to frame manliness like it's all macho crap, but macho is dumb. Posturing is dumb.
But manliness as a concept has stuck around 'cause there really is a core truth to it. It's not millennia of people posing as a result of deep insecurities, it's a bunch of testosterone-fueled people being totally true to themselves and embracing that.
Embrace yourself. Your likes, your guilty pleasures, whatever. I know I've embraced N'sync. Really Max Martin's entire oeuvre.
Also I'm really high or low or whatever zzzquil does to you so whatever.
(*some people take "you don't need to be accepted by others" as "screw other people," and that's just dumb. Not needing to be accepted by others doesn't mean not wanting to be accepted by others, or not deriving something good from being accepted by others, it just means you're cool with you and if some jackass comes along and tells you that your choices are dumb, it won't bug you all that much)
