How do i be a good big brother? My little brother (4) is around an bunch of chicks all day, so I'm worried he's going to grow up to be some kinda sissy. I can't really do anything fun with him yet (shooting, going out for a beer, that sorta thing) because he's only 4. What can I do with him to really make sure that he grows up to be a good man? I'm looking for something more then "just be there for him". I'm already around a lot (at least once every other day, most of the time every day) so I want some activities we could do that will show him how to be a cool guy, but that he can still do at 4 years old.
At that age, I don't think there are a lot of gender-specific things going on. Boy, girl, it's all just kids at that point and he's not picking up anything that will make him either masculine or feminine.
Otherwise you can play some sports with him or watch movies. Get some Nerf guns and go out and shoot each other. Play fight and stuff.

Get him into sports or shit.
Take him fishing.
Buy him some boxing gloves and a punch bag.
Shit, when I was a kid, I always wanted to join some sort of sports club or something...
Parents said it was too expensive.
Other kids got to do it, and they started well before they went to school, so when they first started, they all knew each other and had a good grasp of "working as a team" and shit.
But I didn't.
Don't get me wrong, I'd probably still be an autistic asshole if I did get that stuff... but I would've stood more of a chance to be honest.
He doesn't need to be drinkin' or shootin' to have fun.
I never managed to get into sports... if I could never play, then why watch?
Unfortunately, that makes it much harder to talk to "proper" men.
So, yeah, just get him into sports or some shit.

Man when I was 6, I was the class clown and all of the girls loved me. Now I'm 18 without a real relationship.
Point is, anything is possible. I'd say its okay with him hanging around some chicks, but balance it out by playing vidyas or exploring places with him.

Math
Chess
Guitar
Anything he's going to have to learn at some point.

are u srs
did u not get enough hugs as a kid to know how to treat ur brother
>>17138120
Maybe your brother is trans? Did you ever ask him what he identifies as?
>>17138120
Leave the kid alone. He'll do fine without your warped concept of masculinity.

Way too early to tell. Just let him grow up normally and ask him that question as he approached puberty.

This is good advice right here.

Oh fuck off, I just want him to grow up to be a cool guy. We don't need another autistic man child running around, we already have you four.

This year, this is a troll post. In 2 years, this will literally be a mainstream way of thinking
Teach him about cars. How to fix them and general maintenence.
