Redefining Brutish Behavior
Merriam-Webster:
a savage violent person or animal, unreasoning and animalike.
Being described as a Brute does not hold this definition to me in my mind. I don't envision a Brute as a Monster of Frankenstein or some destructive force of human flesh. It stands for more about a balance between the primal and intellectual powers of man.
As a man, you must keep in mind that you are this animal who is gifted with intelligent thinking as well as ethos, pathos, and logos. You're more than useful for smashing in the brain of something, you could in theory use your brain to coerce that same subject to do the same objective. Using your intellect is the most powerful weapon in your arsenal while coupling it with the capability of brute force can make you unstoppable.
Brute-manship and having intelligence should not be mutually exclusive, however, the issue lies that as a man society dictates that you must be one or the other. General public will not accept the idea that you can possess both forms of power but only one. You may see it as Steve Rogers or Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne, those heroic figures who have super powers and strong intellects. I argue, the man who has brain and muscle power should not live on fictional pages, but rather here in the real world.
Go to the gym and out into the world, train your body in feats of strength, endurance, and aerobic capabilities. Next, move onto the library and study philosophy, history, and the writings among those delicate books in order to train your brain. If you've managed to construct a wonder out of one inside your heart, it's just that much easier to build another wonder to demonstrate your other capabilities. They feat the man with multiple wonders, he has more power over the weaker brains and the smaller brawn.
