The Sophisticated Man (1950s): Misogyny, "Game," Financial Success, and Personal Growth

 

Men's development as men underwent a significant change in response to the world's post-World War II extraordinary abundance and technical innovation.


The average man was paid to use his head rather than his hands for the first time in his life. This change gave men greater opportunities to pursue personal development in addition to professional development. Men were urged to get more knowledge, learn how to persuade others, dress nicely, and grow in confidence.


They started to achieve financial success beyond what their parents could have ever dreamed of while keeping the work ethic of the Industrial Man.


What's more, the Sophisticated guy didn't hesitate to be a guy. 

He pursued a wide range of manly interests and wasn't ashamed of his masculinity. He was clear about his goals and took all necessary steps to achieve them.


The Industrial Man's Power 


All the positive aspects of the Industrial Man were taken up and expanded upon by the Man of the 1950s. Yes, he put in a lot of work. Still, he was a clever worker. He understood how to advance in life, accumulate wealth, and become financially independent.


He was aware of the value of growing personally, looking for mentors, reading a lot, and going to college to fill in the knowledge gaps in his schooling. He felt no shame about his goals or aspirations and was content to be a man.


Additionally, all men in the contemporary world ought to aim to imitate.


Yes, it is vital to work hard. However, focusing on the appropriate topics is also important. The Affluent Man was aware of this. Since he was aware that he would never be able to support himself outside of a factory, he committed himself to "knowledge work," which would not only enable him to survive but also prosper.

The Deficiency of the Educated Man



These individuals were prone to egotism because of their newfound success and status.


They behaved as though they were unstoppable because they thought they were. Particularly in terms of how they handled women. Instead of viewing women as someone they could share their life with, the Sophisticated Man objectified and exploited them.


They would frequently They continually strive to "upgrade" their marriage by finding younger, more promiscuous mates, which leads them to cheat on their husbands and destroy their own families.


A true guy should be able to build an abundant dating life on his own and be competent with women, but he should never become so engrossed in the dating game that he treats women like objects rather than as human beings. And this was something that the youth of this generation realized.


The lads who were raised by the Sophisticated Man promised never to repeat their father's mistakes after witnessing the suffering that their father's actions had caused. And in the decades that followed, this resulted in a significant change in the way that males appeared.
