How To Be More Manly?

Ok, so... Let me start by saying I feel incredibly manly on the inside. But I am beginning to suspect that this isn't what people see on the outside (I could be wrong) but this is a very bad thing as far as I am concerned. I don't want women to think I'm some effeminate push-over (not saying I am but you get the picture).

I get a lot of women hit on me, so I know it's not my appearance that's the problem. But in my honest opinion, it's not like I'm flamboyant or theatrical. I don't do anything womanly. So it's hard to change this issue when it's something I merely suspect. And of course, since I view myself as a dominant male, I just fail to comprehend how anyone could see otherwise.

But I get a lot of women describe me as ''lovely''. It's that cutesey kind of term like dear, love, darling, sweetie, and so on. And it just makes me feel like the people who use it are addressing me from the perspective of how one would if they spoke to a child. I work part-time at a supermarket, but I'm constantly getting positive feedback from the customers (apparently I'm really popular). But it's always the same shit. I'm a lovely person. It happens so often that I can't help but feel it's a euphemism in the same way that a girl might call a guy ''nice''.

Girl A: What do you think of Daniel?

Girl B: He's nice... But

So yeah, any tips and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
