I agree with some of the other answers you've received, but I want to add one.

I think there's a kind of impulsive confidence, and unmitigated determination that lets me put on shorts when it's 20 degrees Fahrenheit out, then tells me to stay the course, and accept that I have entirely become cold, rather than merely passing by it.

As for what other people can do to help me feel that feeling, I have no idea. I do those things because of the way that I am. People have already tried encouraging or discouraging me, and it hasn't changed how I prefer to dress (for example).

Being a stubborn old fool isn't just a "man" trait 😜

But I suppose, being statistically more risk tolerant is a sign of being a man. Not sure if that nature, nurture, or both I'm not going to speculate. But we are where we are however we got here.

I for one, am amazed I've made it this many trips around the sun.
