I love this channel. I know this is Gent Z, but I am 46 years old & going thru a bad divorce. This channel is a benchmark for me reinventing myself. Always liked this style & your channel is a how to guide. I quit cigarettes, sober for 10 years (that's just me), hit the gym hard & adding to my wardrobe. Saw a friend of mine while visiting NY & he said "you dressed for court". I laughed & said "yup, getting ready for it". Thank you & keep up the excellent work James! 💯
This, GG, RMRS, and Alpha are the best content on RUclips. THIS is the real “alpha male” content and not some of the toxic crap out there. Keep going bro!
It’s tough being in your 20s, especially in your early 20s. I’m seeing people my age travelling around the world, buying nice stuff, building successful businesses, etc. while I have nothing to my name. I want to get up there but I can’t get a job, not even in something basic like retail.
Buying nice stuff and traveling around the world is overrated and centered too much towards consuming, and i think it should be incentivized less than it currently is. Making a business that actually makes a positive impression on your local community however, that is underrated
Powerful testimony. There is a lot of content here that men should take to heart whether it is mustering the courage to recognise and sever toxic relationships, stopping the excuses and treating health as a non- negotiable priority, or trusting yourself enough to take bold and even radical steps forward in your career and personal life. All good stuff. Thanks for sharing these thoughts and experiences James.
On another channel I watch,one of the guys talked about being in a toxic relationship with an adult woman,when he was a teenage boy. It opened a floodgate of similar stories. It's more common than some may think.
It is useful to look back on my life and mark important events. This includes recognizing critical decisions that made positive changes in my life. Your reflection is similar. It is a good thing to do periodically.
Hey man, probably little chance you'll ever read this, but just wanted to say your videos are so inspiring. I know your main target audience is Gen Z, but I'm in my early 40s and your content makes me want to constantly self-improve. For instance, I'm about to hit some weights in the home gym right after posting this, where before I might well have just carried on sat on the sofa wasting my evening away. There is such a dearth of healthy male role models in our modern society, which makes your content all the more valuable. It is a rare oasis in a cultural desert in the West right now. I particularly love your comment in another video "in a world of Andrew Tates, aim to be a Cary Grant". This is so on point for our society today. Anyway, stay awesome James. Love your work!
Great video, as always, sir. Would you consider making another one about the importance of a man getting his own place aka living alone? It would be helpful to hear your thoughts on how it’s a key step in self-development, moving on after college, and taking on more responsibility. Maybe cover the pros and cons, and what can happen if you don't (and just stay with parents/roommates forever).
I don't know i it warrants an entire video, but I certainly recommend young men to move out and gain independence. Do it with roommates at first, then try to get your own place at least before you are 30. In some cities this is easy, in others, it's more difficult.
I'm also happy. I am in my mid 30's a young accomplished young man who is already a shrewd diplomat and the private secretary to a Davos banker. Anyway, I have a bit of a bout of amnesia. I might be dating Emma Watson.
I left my hometown at 17 for going medicine faculty. My life goes very well and in 3-4 months I am going to buy ny first car. My dad always told me you don't need money you are gonna be doctor anyway but i didnt listen I started working as a Real Estate Agent for part time and I saved 25k euros and plus that I am in 3rd grade at medicine. I am very proud of myself
In my 20s one thing I have learned projects you work on it’s best to do in secret & don’t anyone Most people will try discouraging you. But when it pays off and they see success they all say we knew you can do it
I didn't tell anyone about this channel until it had some level of success and I didn't tell my family until it became my full-time job. Our fear of what others may think can hold us back a lot. Anything you can do to protect yourself against that is a wise move, in my opinion.
That's really interesting James, It took guts to say the first part so well done, true gentlemen behaviour, I'm always looking forward to another video, Cheers to your successful channel and influence that we so much appreciate. Also amazing suit choice, the double breasted suit, with the really well done pocket square does make it much more enjoyable and interesting.
A gentleman never uses profanity in mixed company or with his elders. The single term that describes a gentleman best is respectful: respectful of others, respectful of the society he supports and defends, and respectful of the Almighty.
Oh, I dunno, James. Keep up the good work and in a few years you'll be a candidate for TWMIM (The World's Most Interesting Man). Best wishes on your journey!
Love your suit in this video James Romantic partner or friend is like a puzzle piece you move pieces around until you build right combinations for life
@@dannytu9360 Thank you. I don't know if I will ever actually do it, it depends on whether or not I feel like I can add something valuable and worthwhile to the marketplace. Butt it's something I'm exploring
Iam the first one to comment. I just want to say, your channel really helping, I really enjoy this and slowly and steadily Iam trying to become one of them. Thank you and I really appreciate it
I would love to find a suit like what you're wearing here to bring out my eye color. Where's it from? any advice on where I could find something similar?
I heard and still hear a ton of stuff about the job market in the US. What did you do for a living before all this, to "survive" in the US ? I am also thinking about leaving for this country.
@@Gent.Z If I remember correctly, you studied for this. It confirms the thought that it would be useful to obtain a useful diploma before I move to the US. Thanks!
I'm good with the thumbnail. Sometimes you just gotta say it. Thanks for sharing your older woman story. I experienced something similar and married her. It was an awful marriage. Very awful. Be glad you didn't marry or have children with her.
oh no buddy i think thats grooming, please take care just because youre a masculine man or whatever doesnt mean youre not a victim. hope youre doing better well now you were strong to let it stop :)
i turn 20 this year ive never been in a relationship for now i just wanna improve myself and focus on my career but deep inside me i know i want to experience love , does anyone have any suggestion, warning im open to any type of advice
Some of these commenters whining about swearing are getting on my nerves. You guys should never mistake being a gentleman with being a snobbish prick who is always morally superior.
Haha, now this is exactly what that problem is. It's ok to like swearing, it's ok to not like swearing. But it's not ok to call someone else a prick for sharing an opinion
Thank WHOM you did this?? Common man. Thank god, that's how it goes, wether you're religious or not. Who is f**k?? I'm not someone who complains about swear words but "f**k" instead of god is so unprofessional and to some even offensive.

Yeah, he covers stuff that's fairly timeless. I'm 50, and I still watch him. Part of the reason is to support him spreading this to younger men
Thanks for your message, Floyd. This is very encouraging to hear! Best of luck with your continued transformation
One of your best videos my friend. Down to earth and showing the true you and who you are as a person in a gentlemanly manner.
Thank you very much
This, GG, RMRS, and Alpha are the best content on RUclips. THIS is the real “alpha male” content and not some of the toxic crap out there. Keep going bro!
Thanks very much, Lucian. I'm recording an episode with Alpha next week!

i need a chimney sweeper :D wanna learn it?
I’m in the same place, brother. Only thing I can tell you is just keep going.
Depending on where you live, look into getting your CDL license.
Have you considered the military?
Your country's,or the military of another nation?

I am so happy for you, honestly. I hope the same shifts for everyone with that sort of issue.
It’s nice to watch someone win, someone who wants to help others win aswell. Bravo
Thank you, Pablo.
Your candor + opening up about this is helpful for viewers, thank you for doing it.
Loved this video James, it felt like a genuine conversation with a big brother honestly.
Thank you, Filip. That's a great compliment.
Bravely said . Need, to be careful with people.
Excellent and heartfelt video James. I can relate very much to your first three items!
Thank you, Scott
Thank you for being always very open and honest James. Fingers crossed for your development !
Thanks very much
I agree. I moved to Dubai from Ireland. Best decision of my life. Love your content 🤝
Love your vids man
Thank you very much
You are winning James.
Celebrate. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Thanks very much, Sam. Your continued support means a lot to me.

It opened a floodgate of similar stories. It's more common than some may think.
Interesting. Do you remember the name of the video or RUclipsr?
@Gent.Z
The RUclipsr is Oshay Duke Jackson.
The vid was from some time ago.
But I will see if I can find it.
It is useful to look back on my life and mark important events. This includes recognizing critical decisions that made positive changes in my life. Your reflection is similar. It is a good thing to do periodically.
Very true, Crystal. Thanks for your comment.
brother you were groomed, that’s messed up sorry to hear that I respect you for being open about it.
I don't personally use that word, although I can see why you would. Glad to be able to speak honestly about it and to have moved on
Thanks very much for sharing your life story, so far, with us! Have a terrific Christmas party with the GentZ! From Tokyo...
Thank you! Merry Christmas
I actually like these videos… self help… and you have good advice…. Thank you !

Good pep talk for me. Enjoyed thank you.
You're welcome, thanks for the comment
One of your best videos, James. Congrats:)
Thank you, Ben
Heartbreaking but so glad your doing better
Amazing video James
Well presented & you are definitely a perfect example of gentleman lifestyle
.
Amazing channel and content you provide us James.
I really appreciate your work towards this.
My pleasure, glad you are enjoying

90% of people start going to the gym for the wrong reasons, but eventually make it a habit for the right reasons
I think you're right there, Dylan.
Why swear for click bate, if your already successful: I don't understand?
A gentleman never uses profanity in mixed company or with his elders. The single term that describes a gentleman best is respectful: respectful of others, respectful of the society he supports and defends, and respectful of the Almighty.
As a 41-y.o. man, I have to say. Your gym and gaining weight is a fundamental decision. I think you're underestimating it
Thanks Igor

Thank you for opening up, James.
Love your suit in this video James
Romantic partner or friend is like a puzzle piece you move pieces around until you build right combinations for life
Great suit 👌
Thank you
26 damn I'm 29 and only recently elevated everything (wardrobe with suits, hygiene, fitness, home, etc). It's a never ending pursuit tho!
It's easy to compare yourself to others, I do it too. But remember most people NEVER get round to elevating their lives in these ways.
A+ James
Thank you

Hi James,
Could we get an ID on the tie and suit jacket? Looking sharp.
Suit jacket is vintage Ralph Lauren, the tie is from a company in Italy that I'm thinking of working with to make my own ties. This is a prototype.
@Gent.Z Nice, thanks! Good luck with that business venture. Hopefully that's fruitful. It's a nice look.
@@dannytu9360 Thank you. I don't know if I will ever actually do it, it depends on whether or not I feel like I can add something valuable and worthwhile to the marketplace. Butt it's something I'm exploring
You look so well groomed - there's very few men nowadays looking like that,it's like a man from the 1950's😊
Thank you, that's kind of the look I'm going for!
Iam the first one to comment. I just want to say, your channel really helping, I really enjoy this and slowly and steadily Iam trying to become one of them. Thank you and I really appreciate it
Thanks very much for letting me know. I'm glad to have you here!
I would love to find a suit like what you're wearing here to bring out my eye color. Where's it from? any advice on where I could find something similar?
It's a vintage Polo Ralph Lauren jacket. I got it on eBay.
many of us Americans dream of living in an old Gothic house
Not very gentlemanly to use "F**K" so casually in the thumbnail.
2:00 Good Lord, my apologies in advance but, where were your parents at the time? Luckily you managed you break off this mess, for which my respect.
I used to like James, now i admire him. Reminds me of my dad
I heard and still hear a ton of stuff about the job market in the US. What did you do for a living before all this, to "survive" in the US ? I am also thinking about leaving for this country.
I had a job in the mainstream media.
@@Gent.Z If I remember correctly, you studied for this. It confirms the thought that it would be useful to obtain a useful diploma before I move to the US.
Thanks!

I'm very grateful I didn't come close to making that mistake, Darby. Glad you got out of that one.
An aside, but that's a beautiful suit friend.
If I could post a GIF in the comments it would be "Whew, Boy that escalated quickly".
do a wonyoungism video please
Ive debated making a youtube channel but i also have to work for a living and i know editing and stuff is fairly time consuming
I did this while working full time for the first 9 months and produced a minimum of 3 to 7 videos a week. It can be done 👍
oh no buddy i think thats grooming, please take care just because youre a masculine man or whatever doesnt mean youre not a victim. hope youre doing better well now you were strong to let it stop :)

1:39 damn.. almost every boy dream, she learned you all the skills to please a woman 😮
Please do consider changing that background. It doesn't look the best.
An interesting and distinguished video, was nice to see your eyes filled with life even for a few moments
I believe that your thumb nail is NOT very gentlemanly. Loose the unnecessary profanity.
Agree
Gentleman, F**K stands for "folk"! He is thanking the people that helped him progress throughout his life.
Disagree. His target audience for the video is 20 year olds.
Gentleman! F**K stands for "folk", thanking the people that help him reach the point he is now.
@@Booyaits So what you are saying is that 20 year olds can't have class and character? Give me a break.
Wake up Maggie I think I have something to say to you….
Bravo! Well-presented and unpretentious.
