Nate’s father’s double-life instilled in a young Nate a need for control in him, and much like how Cal Jacobs depicts a clean, admirable, and professional front to masquerade his more homosexual and erotic impulses, Nate similarly feels conflicted within himself. Throughout the series, it is implied that on some level, he is not strictly heterosexual, and struggles deeply with that and the affairs of his father, which pressure him to maintain an image of leadership and masculine perfection. Most of his actions are fuelled by testosterone and shame, and this shame is rooted the fact that Nate has been aware of his father’s fetishes since he was eleven years old. Despite his intense and aggressive exterior, Nate Jacobs struggles with fears that he will turn out like his father, and his fears that he is unassertive and insecure - that he is not the heteronormative view of masculinity - drives him to maintain control through masculine for validation. While at a surface level, he is extremely intelligent, controlling, and judgmental of others, he is far more insecure of himself deep down. He justifies his beliefs under his rigidly ideology that things should be straight and in-order, and is extremely dedicated to proving to others - as well as himself - that he is an ambitious, prideful, and hyper-masculine individual.īeneath his exterior, however, Nate is a very complicated man. He has a deeply ingrained sense of toxic masculinity because of his upbringing, and in moments where his masculinity is threatened, he displays a deep rage, and is shown to be overly aggressive, cruel and destructive. However, due to the expectations placed upon himself by his perception of his father's masculinity, he is also very unstable, and sometimes demonstrates a very violent and unpredictable nature. He prides himself in his masculine traits, and displays a very cocky attitude regarding his relationships - bragging about his ability to sexually dominate women. He portrays himself to be hyper-masculine, charming, irresistible, and domineering, and routinely dominating people both physically and sexually to maintain his image of masculinity. Initially, Nate Jacobs comes across as a classic confident, asshole "bad boy jock' archetype, but with far more aggressive and violent undertones. He has a big mole on his chest to the left side. Nate is a conventionally attractive, tall, muscular guy with dark brown hair and eyes. You can help Euphoria Wiki by expanding it.
