# Let's Talk About The Importance Of Male Confidence *By James Hills — Updated March 2021* Written by: [James Hills](https://menwhoblog.com/james-hills.html) Last Updated: 14 March 2021 Top BlogHits: 7187Reading time: 03:14 Growing up I was told men just need to be strong. Confidence was expected even if that meant that below the surface we lacked the emotional stability to back up that public appearance. Today however, we have begun to embrace a different sense of what it means to be a good man, a great husband, and a positive role model for boys to aspire to be like. Unfortunately there are many who seek to erode the positive aspects of traditional masculinity and frankly force boys to act like girls. This makes it challenging for young men to have that sense of confidence that they need to be successful in life. While this discussion is much deeper than the time we have to discuss it in this live stream, I'm very excited to be joined by some of our favorite blogger friends as we host a discussion about it featuring special guest, Zoltan from men's grooming company, Bold View. Please join us at Noon on March 15 by watching below or [visiting us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/menwhoblog/videos/1420200538318670).

It’s more than just looking good or smelling great. It’s about having everything together in one package and knowing that you can do what you set out to do. That isn’t saying you can be and do anything but it is the knowledge that you have set your sights on a target and are going to accomplish what you set out to do … or at least learn something if you fail. Looking good and smelling great is an important part of this process. Not only will people look at a well dressed man who is properly groomed as being strong and confident, but it’s a process that prepares you to actually exude that confidence. For instance, imagine if you were preparing for a job interview and merely threw some water on your face, tossed a jacket on your back, and barged into your future bosses’ office. While that might seem like confidence at first … that will quickly erode as you realize your face is itching, your jacket has a mustard stain from last night and oops, the interviewer is still on the phone with another candidate.  Instead, by taking the time to take care of yourself and prepare by using products such as [Bold View Beard Oil](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HW5KLPM) to take care of those itchy whiskers and make yourself look and smell great you can build true confidence.  Imagine how different the situation would be if you spent the night before building your confidence by laying out the right clothes, researching the company, and preparing for that interview. Now when you show up you know you are ready to answer anything that might come your way and with every movement of your jaw the sandalwood scent from your beard will help increase alertness and manage anxiety.  Now, you aren’t that brazen ill prepared man barging into someone’s office, you are that smart, confident, prepared, and well dressed man who looks and smells great. This ability to present yourself properly allows others to see a confident man that they want to have as part of their team. [Bold View Beard Oil](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HW5KLPM) can be purchased on Amazon.com and is infused with argan, jojoba, sweet almond, and macadamia oils, this beard oil for growth keeps your facial hair soft, smooth, and shiny all day. While we can’t promise that you will get your dream job or attract the perfect romantic partner, just simply maintaining a well groomed appearance will help eliminate many of the barriers that sometimes erode male confidence. **Hey James Hills wants you to share this!**   --- [Follow me on Facebook (opens in new window)](https://facebook.com/mantripping)[Follow me on X (opens in new window)](https://twitter.com/mantripping)[Follow me on Instagram (opens in new window)](https://instagram.com/mantripping)[Follow me on LinkedIn (opens in new window)](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameshills2/)[PLG_FIELDS_OCHFOLLOWME_ARIA_NOTSUPPORTED](https://www.mantripping.com)   Written by: [James Hills](https://menwhoblog.com/james-hills.html) #MenWhoBlog MemberBlog MasterThought Leader James' passion for exploration and sense of duty to his community extends beyond himself.
