    -Tough
    -Ambitious
    -Logical
    -Decisive

    I used to care about a lot of things when it came to relationships and family. Now at 50, I don't care about any of those things anymore. Sadly, I learned this lesson the hard way. Love and loyalty from a woman is just an illusion. When you start caring about those things you brutally set yourself up to get fucked. So I have learned how to protect myself by separating myself from that lie and that illusion.

    I agree with everything you say, both my mom and dad messed me up but I will say somethings I’ve done to myself. I was raised in a Christian household. It’s a Good way to become a weakling. When bullies wanted to bully me I couldn’t fight back because I was told not to or else. I was scared of my parents and was always told to obey and shut up. I never really had a voice, no confidence, always walked with my head down at 6’4. My dad was not a dad and my mom was crazy at times hitting or yelling. I was never taught how to be a man and think for myself. I’m 23 years old and have mental and emotional baggage. Its hard to let it go but I have to at some point and build a life for myself.

We have been married for close to 15 years, and every day I have the mindset that I put my husband first and I do my best to please him. I also value myself and I take great care with my appearance every day. I'd say we have a great partnership. We are not the same, but we compliment each other and I appreciate him so much. I have encountered many female friends over the years that think this kind of a marriage is ludicrous, but that's ok, we don't seek anyone's approval. We are raising our 10 year old son and I wholeheartedly agree with your dojo comment. My son has been at the dojo since he was 4 years old and it encourages masculinity, which seems to be devalued in today's society.

    Early in the video you mentioned how in the old days men had to acquire certain survival skills or perish.
    A few generations ago, men conquered the environment. There isn't a place on the face of the Earth than men haven't been able to put a stake in the ground and establish themselves. All the machinery we've invented has made the day to day chore of living easy, at least in more developed countries (where Feminism has taken hold). Most importantly, we have made the environment SAFE. You walk out of your house, you're not worried about getting mauled by a bear or eaten by a pack of wolves.
    As a consequence, women are no longer afraid, and have embraced the illusion of "independence" - but I'm not going to go in that direction here.
    As a consequence, men haven't needed to acquire those basic survival skills anymore - which makes them vulnerable to manipulation. A man lives much better when he can defend himself, can work with other men to get work done, and has competencies that are in demand that benefit himself and/or others. Without those skills, a man is easily lost, depressed, can be used by others without even realizing it's happening (or if he does realize it, doesn't know how to combat it or extricate himself from the situation). This tendency of men in current society where they no longer have fathers to teach them at least some of these basic skills has led to men being lost, to the degradation of our freedoms, and to the degradation of society itself.
    Channels like this one are valuable because they help to fill in that gap of knowledge men instinctively know they need to be able to make it in this world. Pointing to resources like Dojos give men direction they can follow to acquire that necessary knowledge.
    Keep up the good work!

I have trouble connecting with other guys , keeping a job and finding something in common . When it comes to women i only attract the fat single mom . I also have suspicion that i have aspergers. Im at the point where i just dont care anymore.

      There's nothing wrong with talking about your feelings. Just don't talk about any sort of anxiety or struggle to women and expect them to see you as more than a pity case. Talk to the barman, talk to guys, or women a little older that are just friends and going to remain so.
      Keeping a job is not a sign of masculinity, it's a sign of conformity. Ditch the greasy pole and strike out on your own.

    @tomislavjakusmejarec163 4 года назад +13

    Every single one!
    Every single one of masculine men had a strong father figure in some shape or form. This doesnt't mean that they had a good or perfect father but rather a father who displayed masculine behavioural patterns within the framework of relationship with the son in question, his mother and his brothers and sisters. All weak men follow a similiar pattern.
    They had no father or they had a weak or passive /submissive father along with dominant and bossy mother figure.
    Weak men who don't have that foundation would theoretically need to put themselves out there, get out in the world and take risks. Then, if it clicks for them, they will develop their masculinity on their own. Either that or their confidence will be completely shattered once they get out of their comfort zone and due to great disadvantages they fail miserably in life.
    Beware....Odds are heavily against you. It takes true courage for that but if you succeed, you will gain masculine confidence more authentic and powerful than those who learned it from their father because it was actually based on your own courage and leap of faith.

    Wait, women find it easy to be feminine? Isn't half the problem with dating, nowadays, that women don't know how to be feminine? Hypergamy is just one of tons of facets of Femininity just like wanting to provide for women is just one facet of Masculinity. Sure, women are naturally hypergamous but that's not any different from how men naturally want to provide for women. That doesn't mean women have an easy time being feminine any more than men have an easy time being masculine.

  • @richdog490
    @richdog490 4 года назад +15

    There are many cultural reasons which contribute to this:
    (1) Christianity as it has been presented in Catholic and even Protestant churches. Jesus is portrayed as not only a crucified christ but a castrated crucified christ, and his monumentally slow, cruel, torturous death has been a representative symbol of Western Civilization (often outright ignoring his resurrection). The real historical Jesus was not a victim and was not like this, nonetheless, he is presented as such. Consequently, many churches are full of people who merely pretend that they do not have a sexuality.
    (2) Elementary education. We are all indoctrinated within a program which encourages males to develop masculine traits in favor of words and abstract computations. You can have the best of both worlds in this regard, you can be learned in literature and mathematics while also being able to do construction, electrical work, building, etc. but our education system doesn't care about kids nearly enough to even think about doing this. Males are also treated in our education system as if though we are effectively defective girls.
    (3) Being feminine is just inherently easier. Why you see more effeminate males than you do masculine females, there isn't really even a corresponding counterpart masculine word for effeminate ("butch" comes close). Female sexuality is just easier. Guys go really fast, and women are slow. It is inherently much easier to increase the momentum of something not moving than it is to stop/reverse the momentum once it is going fast. All women have to do is lay down and they don't have to keep any desire ablaze, whereas men have to get themselves into a frame of mind where it's possible for them to have an erection, and to stay in that frame of mind consistently, while also being able to just turn their erections off if the females don't like it. Females can become more feminine virtually overnight by just wearing makeup and looking a certain way (they can work out but they don't have to build muscle). Becoming more masculine (especially if you are effeminate) requires much work and unlearning.

    Gee Dude. That really hit home. I figured that out early on, but it still impacted me fully. I was 8 years old when my mum remarried and I used to see my mum a emasculate my step-dad constantly.
    When I eventually got to know my actual Dad I realised I realised he was masculine, as well as begging a gentleman. knew how too get along with men well.
    Unfortunately it was too late by the time I realised and so my stepfathers influence was strongly linked into my personality.
    This has caused me to come across as non exact masculine a lot of the time and so so a lot of time guys don't know how to really relate to me as well as they do with their mates.
    Now the question is, how can this ever be 'Fixed'? One way, is your videos, I think.
    But, we really need something more, like boot camps style. Yes?

      Sasquatch 2099 And no some women and men like a guy who can kick people’s ass and see that as manly.
      So if they have a youtube channel and they have over a hundred thousand followers is that the man standard now?

    Difference is what brings equality. Ying / yang.

    I always found it odd that people confuse "equality" between men and women with us being identical. We're not identical, obviously, we're very different.
    Ideally, a developed country would create the conditions where men and women have similar financial opportunities despite their different preferences.
    Having similar opportunities is equality, that doesn't mean that both sexes can give birth.

    The guy asking this question is probably around 20 years old, doesn't realize that the tables turn once the mid 30s hits.

      And what about the decade or decade and a half between?
      Just submit to a good deal of your finite life being garbage?
      It’s an uphill battle but manageable if approached well.

    Be fair. Women are struggling to be masculine, too.

    Women say men can only do one thing at a time. This guy orders at Mc Donald's, drives, drinks and speaks for a video on RUclips, all at the same time. What a beast ;).

    There is a lot of truth to this commentary. Really appreciate all that is said here. Society makes men Beta males and doesn't help men to become Masculine men. So for now we have to keep listening to red pill content like these and don't get married to women who don't put you as a priority or help you towards your goals or purpose in life. There is a need for strong men and for Kings. Went through hell after almost being killed 6 times now and now run 4 companies. So for me and the community that I'm looking to build, it is important for men to embrace obstacles because it is making you a stronger man.

    I don't struggle to be anything, my good brother, certainly not to be masculine. I just be myself & I'm plenty masculine enough. I take the point though. Maybe just semantics. My life has an arc to it, like a quest or journey in a movie or novel. Obstacles I've had to overcome, wisdom gained, goals & milestones reached, soul searching, building mental, emotional, & physical strength, sharpness, toughness, & balance, discovering my strengths, my purpose in life, seeking meaning, etc. I don't think of that as struggling to be masculine. I think of it as being a man & throwing myself into the great adventure that is life.
