Men are more instrumental in their approach in developing their
self esteem.They are more practical assuming that they have to
manage the responsibilities of their family,they use mindfulness
based approaches and focus only on this moment in time.
They focus more on refining their skills to get a better job
and high salary so that they can provide everything to their
families.
To develop self esteem,status is important to them and men
focus more on getting high status jobs,bigger cars,taking care of
one's looks i.e grooming etc.
They set higher and bigger goals for themselves to increase
their self esteem and achieving those goals boosts their self
confidence.
Surrounding themselves with potential mates who are high
achievers and can guide them also is one of the ways to develop
self esteem. Being in the company of like minded people helps.
