I had to abandon my friend today because he was going so far down the fatherless behavior path of redpill culture, I never cared about the working out or the defining roles between men and women, its all this "cheating is good and marriage is bad" from someone who comes from a divorced family that I cant stand. Just because your family fell apart doesnt mean you have to cast that evil on those of us whos family is still together and healthy. Its sickening behavior. They also claim to know about muslim culture even though they are white christians and are trying to tell me all sorts of shit about Israel even though I have literal family living their. I feel like that is evil.
0:29 I want to know exactly where Andrew Tate said "the way to be a man is to have load of money, load of woman, load of cars" How can you lie like that? This is bad influence. @TheDiaryOfACEOClips This is shameful, Andrew never said anyone to do what he do. All he says (70%)how to be disciplined, Consistent, work hard without motivation, how to not waste time, how to build a strong mindset to face any challengers, how to overcome your fears. And (30%)his opinions about the world.
I'll help you understand. All our lives we've been misled about the female nature, put it on the pedestal, demonizing all things masculine. We were told being a gentleman was the way to go, that this is how to get a woman. And then reality hit us in the face, many were confused why they're not getting the results they wanted. The advent of the social media happened and the hookup culture opened so many men's eyes on how females actually select men. These "influencers" are doing nothing but reaping the benefits of feelings that already existed, and men like Tate are respected because they don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk. They are fighting back against the fe--mi--nist narrative that has favored wmen for far too long at men's expense.
From female point.... The problem with the "masculine coaching" talking about what it means to be man is: that its being taught if its taught it looks very unnatural. Its like not realising who I am what is my nature, so I need a tutorial to understand my biology. And because it looks unnatural, it may create a "narcissistic mindset" because boys may learn some untrue information about life. Or they decide to believe every word someone says on internet, instead of listening their own heart and intuition. Your own intuition that you were born with, will give you much more information, than some company that wants to brainwash you and sell you some product or cosmetics or some stuff. They don´t have your best interests in heart. Your own self or (your soul) knows much better what you feel, what you need, what your true feelings are. If you like meditation, nobody should say, its not manly behavior, if you love flowers and puppies, and glass of wine and bathroom decoration nobody should tell you it is not masculine enough if you love nice music or calming music of flute, nobody should tell you it´s not masculine enough if you don´t like smoking, nobody should tell you its not masculine enough Only you and your "higher self" knows what you really love. if you like walking on the beach, and read poetry or some philosophic thoughts, nobody has right t tell you its not enough and that you can not live the life the way you want. Most women actually like the men who follow their own "higher self" intuition and like calming music that some tutorial about masculinity because these women know that you may be both brave and masculine yet you may be decent, sensitive and love the kind of music that calms your body down, or puts you in state of meditation or in state of creativity, knowledge, science, philosophy Women know such men are very thoughtful, and can pick a job they love. :)))) because they know how to think, they trained their philosophical thinking muscles as well, not just the hand muscles, but a head and heart muscles. and in every job, emotional intelligence is important, to understand what the employees need and under what circumstances they work better. it´s clear that if people understand each other they work much easier and happier. and normal woman want a normal guy with heart or emotional intelligence, If she notices he has no heart, she doesn´t feel safe and that his coworkers don´t feel safe. Then she becomes disliked by many people who dislike her suband. It´s logical.
Tbh the reason why I like some of the red pill stuff is because it fuels this bitterness I have towards women for rejecting and making me feel lonely and stupid. So if I see these podcasts that try and make women look dumb it makes me feel a little good inside.
I work on building sites and one day a guys girlfriend dumped him the same day his dad died. I have never seen somebody cry so hard before. A group of women (cleaners on the building site) overheard and started laughing about it which humiliated him and most guys just ignored him. It took me and one other guy (a joiner if memory serves) to go over and talk to him. He seemed okay but he took his life 8 weeks later. We need to look out for each other better guys. RIP Jonny.
Yet its women who have the audacity to go around saying "toxic masculinity." "Toxic masculinity" never killed a women, yet "toxic feminity" kills men everyday... A person like Andrew Tate would of saved this man. He would have motivated him and given him hope to carry on living, as opposed to laughing at his suffering.
@@moneymanrahim7772 I totally agree mate. I agree with 95% of what Tate says but he does go too far in my opinion. My gf of 4 years has just left me a month after landing a job where she's earning £1500 a day... Whereas if I win millions on the lottery I'd of stayed with her. I've done absolutely everything for her too, supported her through mental illness and cared for her horses when she was physically and mentally unable. I literally shovelled shlt for her. All to be dumped the second she hits big money. I wish that I never met her. It just shows you the difference. Fck that bltch.
I'm sorry this happened to your friend.. as a woman, I cannot fathom laughing at someone's misery..I am raised to be benevolent and caregiving to people.. And men need kindness too... Most of The women who I've seen laughing at men believe that "men shouldnt cry" "men are meant to be the unbreakable money earners" type of bs.. These types of people are traditional which most of the women today don't agree with.. But I'm sorry for what your friend went through.. I've personally advocated for men's health and suicide rate reduction but there needs to be change on the government's level..
I try my best to not worship or completely justify all of a person's points in any way that makes it seem like they appear perfect. That being said, I tried so hard to disagree with Dr. K on anything I could find, and I can safely say, that 99.999999999999% of his takes sit well with me. Even if I didn't agree at first, by the time I'm done hearing him out on something specific, anything at all, I eventually see how my stance is the same as his, he just had a different route to getting there, all for me to realize we always end up to the same conclusion. I truly love this man. Praying for his good health. 🙏📿
@@asparrow9876 He is at peak levels of understanding. And that's what facilitates a person's growth. Someone who's overly defensive or just judgmental will always be stunted. He has 100% of my respect. And I hope he lives a long time.
I used to work fast food, worked it for 5 years. I was a full time worker and always tried to stay positive despite the angry customers. Long story short, I became severly deppressed(A bunch of life stuff) and used alcohol to cope. It got to the point where I started missing shift. First thing my manager said to me when she sat me down for a "Talking to" was: "Is everything alright, is there anything I can do to help you? You are one of our best employees, and I know that you are struggling". Nearly broke down right there, I was already beating myself up and I was expecting to be reemed out for my misconduct. But instead I was met with compassion. Now that I am doing so much better, I must pay it forward for you never know someones situation
What your boss did for you… when you do it for someone else, you’ll not only help them heal, you’ll heal a part of yourself and the world will be all the brighter for it. Good luck brother. 🫡
the problem is that men who listen to him - do not learn from him, do not solve the problem, but the opposite - act like drama queens )))))))))))) What is the point
@@ОльгаБендзар bruh this is the exact thing that he is talking about how can someone be so blind like he says whenever we demonize someone (given the cirucumstances) we dont work towards a solution but a brick wall. So what you did there just exemplifies the argument he stated by saying that all men are drama queens. Have some empathy.
I've followed Dr.K for years. His focus has been on gamers, primarily because of the struggles of the type as they tend to be more socially awkward, introverted, etc..., but the things he says applies to everyone - especially men. Good to see him branching out into the non-gamer sphere because his messages can help lots of people even outside that
his target demographic lies at young people in general who are most vulnerable of getting fucked over by the rampant, ever increasing changes happening to the world
It's just branding. Even if your stuff is completely universal, pretending like what you're doing is niche will always benefit you as it creates an image, and allows followers to actually funnel into view. If you do everything then you just kinda faceless, hard to find compared to someone with a face and does the same thing.
@@Mico-Xiyeas It's also branding that makes sense. He was probably the first psychiatrist streaming on Twitch which already set him apart but branding himself there as "The shrink for middle aged housewives" wouldn't really fit in that sphere. Also having such plenty access to gamers, who tend to be more reclusive and maybe less prone to do therapy, is really a unique selling point and potentially interesting from a professional PoV.
I believe in the full interview, that's 1 hour & 33 minutes long, he actually says he was originally addicted to video games. Probably why he started there.
I like that he can acknowledge the problems that many men face without making it a competition or denying the issues that women face. These days everything turns into s stupid competition of who has it worst. That helps nobody.
It's the argument of someone has it worse so you can't complain. That could be applied to anyone and then we will solve no ones problems. People should be treated as individuals. Just because women as a whole have it harder has nothing to do with an individual mans problems. Dr K is awesome.
@@dracula7779 because it is. Literally A dude here killed himself because he opened up a domestic violence shelter for men to escape with their children and Then womens groups got the funding shut down because they needed the funding more according to them and manipulated their puppets to defund it so. In a world of finite funding and resources it is a zero sum game.
Two years ago I, quite unprofessionally, lost it on the CTO of my company in front of the entire engineering dept. (virtually). He asked to have a meeting after, and I pretty much thought I was toast... His first words were: "What's going on man, you look like you're hurting.."
It’s because of d whole gay thing in d west. Two men being close is automatically suspicious. It keeps them away from each other and lonely. Even conservative cultures around d world allow their men to touch each other for fun and games. Even if they’re gay, it’s fine too. Holding hands or hugging shouldn’t be considered sexual by nature. Everything is so scandalized in d west. Anything is interpreted with double meaning or a hidden message 🤦♀️. So everyone walks on eggshells in case something may “seem” inappropriate. It’s self-censorship of d highest form.
I have experienced a great deal of empathy from female therapists who have validated my struggles, despite my status as a well-off white man. Of course they are paid to do so, but they seem genuine and their advice has been helpful. So do my female friends and my sisters. But my impression is that a lot of these men do not have exposure to women of the same age early in life or don't form female friendships, so they develop this attitude. I know growing up with sisters I was close to had a tremendous impact on my emotional development.
How would you say that you have developed emotionally by growing up with sisters as opposed to people without sisters? Can I also know how old your sisters are compared to you? I’ve got a little sister but I think both having little sisters and big sisters will be very different.
@@user-zg2bx4oz2p Then who would you suggest? Andrew Tate? This guy? (Who is also a therapist, as you know. Just because his advice is free doesn't change the fact that he was trained as a therapist - and he is making money off of this channel, so his advice is indirectly not free.) Believe me, my sisters have been brutally honest with me and told me stuff I didn't want to hear. And those damn female therapists have provided me with insight into the female mind when I was very confused about certain things. It was worth the money.
@@aciidbraiin8079 I have two younger sisters. One year and four and a half years younger. A critical issue is that I am _close_ to my sisters. I was when I was growing up, and I am today. I was raised to see women as equals. My father doesn't exhibit the objectification of women, even casually, that typifies so many Boomer men. The big, big contribution is very simple. It allows you to see women as _people,_ with their own problems, insecurities, failings etc. They're just people, not a separate species. This dynamic, that seems to characterize women for incels, is not there. It made forming female friendships easy when I was older - just treat women like people. And then there's the other stuff, like seeing the toxic sh*t women have to deal with all the time. Or having to worry about their physical safety in ways that we just don't consider. My sister had a guy follow her home one night in college. She got to her house, and her male rugby-player roommate and three of his friends chased the guy for two blocks :D Then there's just being used to feminine 'plumbing' and not getting freaked out by the fact that yes, women produce blood, which apparently a lot of men are weird about, but you see that stuff in the garbage all the time and then the dog gets into it and scatters it all over the floor etc. and you don't think it's a big deal, because hey, it's what women are like.And you've learned this by your early teens. Now keep in mind I was raised in a close, loving family environment, which a lot of people are not, and that is key to this whole dynamic, as it is to a whole bunch of stuff regarding developing into a functioning, well-adjusted, ethical human in general. I swear, considering the consequences, part of me thinks you should have a license to be a parent...good lord...
@@squamish4244 Bro you are literally just calling men ignorant and implying they objectify women. That's not the issue here. Women would rather view every man as an imminent threat and then say they'll only accept the top 1% of men as a "partner". I don't think you've done much talking to women who don't already know you and are comfortable with you lately.
@@-SUM1- You can't be right with that attitude. If you don't have insight and can't see the entire picture because you are blinded by your all assumptions.
@@InteractiveIdea I got your point. But how would you say that for people facing war right now? People who've been harassed, etc. When thinking about life, we cannot just think about ourselves.
@MarcosGabrielSantosRocha I have personally experienced sexual, physical, and mental abuse starting around the age of 9 to probably late 20s. And I feel terrible for those who are in the middle of war, especially since I am from old soviet union and someone who has lived in both Ukraine and Russia. Still. Life is not as challenging as people make it out to be, and the reason for that is that people do not think for themselves. Something bad happened to you? People feel sorry for you and tell you that you are a victim. As long as you consider yourself a victim, you can not move forward and not feel like one. You get into a bad relationship or get rejected by women too much. What do you do? Start listening to people who tell you that women are evil. You then again feel like a victim. You can't fix things about yourself assuming it's someone's else fault. You chose not to get proper education and don't make enough money? Whose fault is that? Yours. You are also the one who can change that. Are you too short? Get funny and/or charismatic. Presidents of Ukraine and Russia are both short men. One was a comedian, and another was cop before becoming presidents. What else? Your dick too short, learn how to eat pussy. Lol. There is a solution for everything. Just don't be a victim. Don't listen to wrong opinions or blame others for your mistakes.
Well some spiritual people got a "download" or information that The planet Earth will be split in two worlds, and it should happen this year. 3D world, or so called materialistic world, where people think in materialistic way (matter to matter way) judging, commenting, reacting, blaming, being obsessed with politics, news, being constantly nervous, anxious... its "horizontal" thinking, because the energy is exchanged between people. If you think matter to matter way, the results, come much slower, and harder. Energy to matter , is better way, because energy changes matter. The other part of the world will be in 5D, dimesion: (energy to matter way) 5D world is not about arguing, but about manifestation. Its vertical thinking, because the energy comes mostly from the Universe, the love energy. As Einstein said or some phy&sicists say Energy can not be created or destroyed. It just is. You bring your positive energy, playful, smilling, loving energy and with right group of understanding people the positive energy should come back to you. Which means people make a decision consciously, to not judge, overanalyze, blame, or be obsessed with some political correctness or ego thinking, self-limited thinking, fragile thinking, that creates low energy vibrations, in relationships. But they make a decision to appreciate people with their imperfections, knowing they improve with time.... They decide to show empathy love, understanding instead of judging. They decide to communicate instead of reacting etc. So if they see that youa re imperfect yet, but they know you can improve in some ways and give you time to achieve your goals, or improve your habits. because only Ego is obsessed with perfectionsim. Ego is impatient. Therefore don´t listen the ego thoughts, but listen to your higher self thoughts. Your true self is about creativity, love and freedom. When you go to nature for a walk, it energizes you, and it´s about being energized in a way that you don´t feel a need to blame everybody for some nonsense. But if you notice some toxic person who is solving everything with a drama, , you should leave the room and say to them, I apologize but this type of energy isn´t for me, it´s distracting, It doesn´t make me feel good. Our thoughts and emotions create energy. The right types of friends will not be offended and they will even say compliments to you for your genuine energy and personality. With this 5D work, you have the right to pick friends or partners who make you feel good.
Whatever man, it kind of got me to click the video, and it turned into a damn good video, Dr k is pretty sick man, he's got nothing but good messages, so if you gotta use tate to get people here than why not, maybe now, person that never knew Dr k before and clicked on the click bait to see some shit about tate, is now gonna gravitate towards Dr k content, which is a many many many times better role model then tate will ever be...sometimes clickbait isn't all that bad, sometimes it's bullshit though
@@soacker25what’s crazy is that people just hear the words patriarchy and toxic masculinity and totally write off his opinion, and side with the RP community because those phrases are “invalid.” Which ironically enough is exactly dr K’s point.
Because of fear, both of being seen as empathizing with monsters/degenerates and of a false equivalence that wanting to understand the root of poor behavior is the same as excusing it. Or as Dr K put it that people have already made a conclusion in their mind about why certain people are how they are through judgement.
@@N3bulAura yep and thats the pit fall of a society dominated by social media. People got neither time nor the attention span for anything productive. they have been conditioned to consume content, looking from 1 instant gratification to the next. Why bother trying to think deeply / research / reflect about each topic, when its easier, faster and more satisfying to just look for people who agrees with your base assumption, that means you are the "smart one" that already knows all the correct answer.
I suspect there are a lot of people who are just incapable of understanding even only slightly complex things. It hurts their brain to try and go beyond basic concepts of logic and understanding. Trying to think literally annoys them.
I think in large part, people THINK they care about the psychology behind things, but they rely on more generalized models that focus on the group rather than the individual. It may be they think sociology and social psychology are the same thing when talking about social dynamics, but because only one of those is really talked about (sociology), they never consider the psychology aspect because they think they’re already received it, if that makes sense
What an absolute Bodhisattva this man is! He is able to have compassionate for everyone's perspective and find the needle of love in the haystack! What a brilliant clip!
“Don’t try to stop it, first try to understand it.” Very profound way to put it by Dr. K. Reminds me of when Michael Moore asked Marilyn Manson what he would say to the Colombine Shooters. Marilyn said, “I wouldn’t have said a word, I would have listened to them.”
What we are missing here is the alternative approach. Where are the channels promoting a healthy expression of masculinity? You are both great examples. What young boys and young men need is positive role models to look up to
@yolojabroneo one of the biggest problems men face is the type of deeply entrenched victim complex. You might not realize it but your comment is a perfect example. Instead of simply answering “Andrew Grace” or the others out there, you had to frame your comment entirely around your perceived victimhood from the anti-“mens movement” manipulators. The fact you needed to bring up your perceived victimization in a comment that didn’t require it is a massive problem. I’m a white man and business owner and it’s sad to see how many young men who I employee share that victimhood you expressed. One of my main roles besides the obvious advice about working hard on the job is to help counsel these young men in positive masculine ways. Do you know what I never do? Tell them they are victims of sjws, feminists, etc.. It’s such a deeply self destructive way to view the world and I would really encourage you to reflect on and hopefully get out of that mindset. It will set you free. And just to be clear; nothing I’m saying has anything to do with the truth of examples where men get the short end of the stick. That absolutely does happen. What I’m talking about is how you choose think about your agency. This sort of victimhood is an especially big problem in the black community where their belief in being oppressed has the psychological effect of making them less self empowered. Victimhood is a toxic prison of your own mind and only serves as a mechanism to blame others for failures. It makes weakness flourish.
1. Dr K is literally one of those channels 2. Dr K literally said JUST looking outside of yourself to find solution egm observing role models isn't the solution. Empahisis on just. 3. And there is plently on channels already but there are reason them existing havent changed much. 4. Stop redirecting the responibility. As dr k said. Its time for all of US to do. Its time YOU do something time for ME to do something,not the channel.
@sampsonoff when women are actual victims we dont tell them “ get over your victimhood mentality” but when men are actual victims (which they are in large) you tell them to man up and look at the world different. Hahahahahahhahahahaha buddy you need to interrogate your beliefs about how the world operates. its not sjws and feminism we are victims to its a spiritual war
I have struggled for 5 years with different struggles back-to-back, I've been able to not give up due to having friends and family that care about me For your own sake, do not bottle everything up on the inside
When it comes to loneliness crisis, not having friends, relationship, being isolated, touch starved, etc: so basically healthy human relationships and interaction, this is a global issue for the whole world, where local communities basically disappeared, and people struggle maintaining a social network (families, friends) that gives them emotional safety.
THANK YOU so much of this is rooted in a lack of emotional intimacy or connection with people in their community. these men see 0 alternative and their only out is toxic leadership or horrible addictions that lead to spiraling. If we want people to stop listening to these influencers they need an alternative
@@bensheard3969 A lot of them have poor social skills as well, either because they haven't learned them at home or because they are f.e. neurodivergent. But instead of improving themselfs ( this is different for neurodivergency ) they externalize and blame everyone else. Which makes others back away from them. They need therapy tbh.
@@danika9411 I'm not denying some of these people have toxic qualities but I'm sorry id much rather listen to them than the mainstream "blue pill" personalities that profit off of men suffering and offer 0 actionable advice to how to improve your situation. If your going to say "traditional masculinity" is toxic and find any excuse to put a man down because of an identity not an actual criticism that does NOTHING but make me and many others lean into these people more. There is no good community or advice for a modern independent minded man that is perfect so your just telling me to move to the chopping block like cattle.
And hustle culture. You need time to build and maintain friendships. If you're working multiple jobs and / or have 60-70 h workweeks when are you supposed to meet friends etc.
I really wonder how much your point about local communities being basically non-existent now affects things. After you finish school, unless you're really outgoing and sociable and are able to make friends easily at work or the gym or wherever you're going regularly, in my experience it can be difficult to develop meaningful relationships because we really don't get the chance to sit down with people and get to know them just for the sake of it. I think a lot of people's problems would be solved if they had a supportive community around them, but instead of living in them and depending upon them like we used to (and are still wired to), we are isolated in single family households that we have to drive to and from to get anywhere. The majority of people we see every day are encased in metal vehicles, completely unreachable to us.
Yep, he’s a doctor, this is what good diagnosis looks like. Identify the problem, understand the full nature of it, and take actionable steps for treatment.
Absolutely! A lot of men are starving for any shred of validation or support, and when influencers like Andrew Tate are the only ones giving it, these men rally around them. We need to provide a better alternative for men than either becoming a doormat or "red pilled."
This is why I say us men need to start reaching out to each other. So many men isolated from each for no reason at all. We need to set up a brotherhood or a fraternity. Not paying for classes set up by one guy who’s only uniting in a cult like fashion.
@@divagaciones1628 11 min interview where he brings up the fact wmen want to marry up and these men are ghosts to wmen, and his solution is hugging men? Yes, that's genius.

im a 40 year old white guy with 3 kids an awesome wife and a house, i have it all. I spent my whole life helping my extremely large family with their renovations, car trouble, going over to move heavy stuff ect, its to the point that i get a panic attack when my phone rings (and it does a lot each day) because someone needs something. Ive always been good at fixing anything even electronics as a kid. Im at home right now on a monday afternoon living off my credit margin because im burnt out, ive been running on fumes for years, no one stops calling for stuff, and they know what i'm going through. The world cares about men but in my experience its just our bodies they need functional.
I feel you bro I am a woman, but a couple of years ago I got burned out because of helping others so much. I ended up maintaining my parents during the pandemic, while working a job I didn't like. I ended up shutting down and it took me 6 months to "move on". I hope you can rest all you need, take time for yourself and prioritize your well being. Not everyone has families where saying no is an option, I sincerely hope you are better now
Sorry it's that hard. In my experience, learning to refuse and give yourself and your body time and space is a good way to feel better. Most of the times people will understand, and if they don't, well, sadly sometimes we all live through disappointments. Also, maybe there's a part of you that doesn't care all that much and it's fun to show it from time to time.
They rely on you, you need to talk to them and say that they relied on you for too long and you need a break. Not all of them, some of them at least, or even better start with one. Sometimes just saying NO is all that is needed, even if it'll make you feel selfish and them angry. You'll feel better if you take a break from helping everyone.
Your specific problem is you haven't learnt to say "No". "The world cares about men but in my experience its just our bodies they need functional."- this could be said of women also so the whole men vs women thing is just extremely toxic and unnecessary. You can make a statement about your personal struggles without turning it into men vs women. Back to your problem, just because someone calls asking for something doesn't mean you have to do it. It's perfectly acceptable to say "no, I have too much going on". Don't be scared to say it, if they don't value you outside of what you can do for them then it's no loss anyways.

I don't think the influencer should be using full responsibility. The parents, teachers, our neighbors should also share the blame since we drive them to these influencers.
The problem is many of these influences are giving out good advice but also give out bad or toxic advice. You pretty much just have to take the good nuggets and leave the bad
@@brianmeen2158 Yup; but that can be incredibly difficult to decipher when you have boys as young as 12 watching this content. Going through so much uncertainty and insecurity makes it easy to follow every word these influencers are saying. I really fear for them.
I arrived in a country where a lot of people are going to the bar, especially 30-40-50 years old men. I'm 24, 6 years i'm in this country. And i start to go to the bar when i had something to wait and slowly became a bit intimist with the barman who noticed my need to talk sometimes. It's cool, because it's my little peace spot, i enter, he know how to make my coffee, we burn a cig together while talking, and it's making my day better. Now i trully understand than, a lot of mens are probably struggling and theses bartenders are sometimes the only "cool" contact a men can have throughout the day
Some of the going out with my friends, smoking and drinking, have become sometimes, similar to like an AA meeting but with the good stuff, listening to struggles. Analysing and talking about society, sharing some hardship is good and at the end of the day, while clinking the glass.
Hey man can I give you a suggestion that changed my life. Change out the bar for joining a sport. Sport is a far superior way to socialize and get your stress out. Don't join something too serious/competitive, something that prioritizes the social aspect as much as the sport itself. I promise if you find the right one it'll change your life and is far better than going to the pub.
"People who are raised with love and compassion and have connections don't go down this road." Dr. Kanojia is one of the most intelligent people I've found on youtube.
I'm pretty amazed how I stumbled upon this video, today. I was actually viewing Dr. K's livestream from yesterday, and he mentioned this channel. I've been working on a personal knowledgebase of things I hear about, lately, so I wrote down this channel's name in there and thought "I'll just look them up, later," as I do. But today someone sent me a Tate Clip, literally saying "I completely agree with this" and I looked up "Dr. K Andrew Tate" for some advice on how to address the discussion... And here I am! Looking at a video from that channel that I wrote down to look up, yesterday. Didn't think I'd find your work that fast!
I am currently searching for support with a son who is being negatively influenced by Andrew Tate and similar influencers. This was really helpful. Thank you.
PLEASE STOP trying to make your son a TRANS HOMOSEXUAL . Andrew is the way and the truth and the light. No one gets to MASCULINE GREATNESS except through him. 🏳⚧🏳🌈
And in the start of the video, Dr. K literally said that people like you are the problem, ”I need some magical being to help me because my son found a parental figure with stronger influence than me” rather than understanding why he is so influenced. I would talk about it in an open way, not getting mad. And this whole message is assuming you aren’t blowing it way out of proportion, which is usually the case, please expand on the ”bad influence” part.
Get him around good people with older guys who are more positive relaxed and having fun. If he's into Tate that's because there's something missing in his life, it's not because he's a bad kid. Get him into hockey, soccer, kickboxing whatever, it doesn't matter what. Make sure it's not just about the sport and its club that prioritizes friendship and socializing just as much. So many young people are not in a club to socialize and be mentored and then we wonder why they seek out that exact thing from the internet.
This guy is just insanely good. I am watching him for a while. I showed him to my hubby and his gamer friends, who are now watching him too. Cuz I feel like he can help them in many ways in which I kinda suck. Cuz I know I am one of the progressives who make those mistakes and cannot talk to guys for shit. Hopefully I will learn with them.
really respect that he also acknowledges the existence of things like the patriarchy while also showing how important of an issue this treatment of men's mental health is. people always disregard one in favor of the other
Im so confused why this is the only Community that still remain non-autism/sigma comment I went straight down in every andrew tate community doesnt even relate on academic research Just a loser babling
Very well said! People in toxic environment don't need to be shamed and ostracized, they need mental health counseling. Therapy isn't something to be ashamed of, and I wish everybody could be helped by it the way it helped me
"they need mental health counseling"- by who? Most therapists are shit. Most therapy does not work. I am a fan of self work to be honest. Therapy in the West can be a really difficult thing. The therapists themselves come with a lot of biases and a lot of people who went into therapy did so because they themselves are messed up in the head to begin with.
@@Alnivol666 some people have bad experiences with their therapists, yes. I only hope everyone can get helped the way I was. How did self help work for you, if you don't mind me asking?
@@Alnivol666 i agree with nofun, some have bad experiences, but I completely disagree that "most therapists are shit". Way too much generalization when you are most certainly basing it off an anecdote or someone else's.
@@qwery486 I am basing it on the fact that it is not evident to me that people who go to therapy actually do get better. In some ways I am not even faulting the therapists for most of it. There is a large number of people who use therapists to validate their own worldviews and be told that they are not at fault for where they are. I believe that the main issue facing the Western world today has much more to do with an obvious lack of taking responsibility for one's actions. And therapists also play a part in this game since there are ideas that are popular that blame a lot of the actions people take as adults on stuff that happened in their childhood as if somehow this explanation would magically absolve said adults of taking responsibility. YOu did this bad shit...it is because your parents did this to you when you were 5. So now you know why and you are somewhat not really responsible. How could you have done otherwise? We are not really engaging in deep philosophical discussions to be honest. Just playing the blame game at a more advanced level.
@@Alnivol666 I think you may have a fundamental misunderstanding of what therapy is supposed to do. Dr. K hit the nail on the head in this video. Introspection is key. Factors like childhood conditions have immense impact on how a person grows up to be, and it's important to acknowledge that, but in no world does it end there. The conclusion is not "hey we found who to blame!". The conclusion is teaching tools for proper introspection and ideally making peace with oneself and not giving in to extremes like redpill/black pill nonsense.
Thank you and your team for taking part in this societal conversation. I've been following following these subjects very closely. I've personally met many of these difficulties you bring out and for that I support your work wholeheartedly.
I LOVE.... ABSOLUTELY LOVE how the psychologist is a confluence of cultures! Growing up in Singapore, we do that well! His accent is kind of American, but his hand motions... are COMPLETELY INDIAN!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. How amazing. It was Russell Peters who some years back said... "The whole world is mixing!!!!" He was right! As someone's whose parents grew up in India, I've adopted some of these hand motions too! *does happy dance*
"Taken together, the research suggests that the ideal man (for a date or romantic partner) is one who is assertive, confident, easygoing, and sensitive, without being aggressive, demanding, dominant, quiet, shy, or submissive. In other words, a prestigious man, not a dominant man. In fact, it appears that the prestigious man who is high in both assertiveness and kindness is considered the most attractive to women for both short-term affairs and long-term relationships."
Yeah, you need to be dominant to not be submissive, there’s no middle ground. And women prefer that in a man, it certainly wasn’t the quality of the writing that made 50 Shades of Grey the number 1 selling romance novel of all time
@@spelcheak I think you've not really read that properly. Being assertive is good, being a prick is not. A lot of people don't understand that it's possible to be confident and assertive without being aggressive, insulting and bullying. It's not like it's just an axis of submissive-dominant with no other dimensions of character.
As a woman and someone with many female friends and relatives. I dont really know any of them that care about how much the man earns. We care that the man is nice, caring, and see us as equals. Someone who loves us for us and not just for our looks. Sadly good men have had bad women and good women have had bad men. Men have ruined my whole life and now I choose to be single. Sad because I know there are good men out there but sadly the bad men pretend to be good and suck you in before abusing you. I cant take tha risk again.
the men that you ruined your life were out of your league and the problem was that you pick guys that you find attractive and those guys are sought after by virtually every woman so he doesn't have to prove anything or treat you nice for you to stick around. Since this is a small percentage of men (though you may not believe this bc most men are invisible to you) this really creates an imbalance because most of the guys you ignore are simply not physically attractive for you and most women hence the loneliness they face. There are good men out there (80%) but you don't choose them based on looks and you come here preach that its because you have bad experiences with men but what you mean is the the top good looking tall ones.
Eehhh think you responded to the wrong comment. Because you dont know me at all and the way you are talking, its sounds like you are talking to someone you know? Because everything you said is not me. I am actually attracted to geek types. I'm not attracted to the typical hot guy that visits the gym daily and stares at themselves in the mirror all day. Outwardly they look attractive but inwardly they aren't. I tend to go for the guys that like films, games, anime. Have a kind heart and compassionate to others. Sadly the guys I fall for although not as attractive outwardly, i find their kind nature and common interests attract me. Sadly narcissistic men know how to appear good and mirror you. My friends and counsellor told me that I attract these type of men because they go for my looks and say everything I wanna hear. They even pretend to care about animals etc because that's one of the things that mean alot to me and even say they want to go veggie. Because they love them so much. This makes me more sucked in because it shows they are compassion. It's hard to tell who is real and who isnt. Also I was told that because I'm a people pleasure and have a very soft nature they are attracted to that too as I'm easy to control. So dont go saying I only go for attractive guys cause it ain't true. For me its kindness, and a good sense of humour. Some common interests. Think reason I'm attracted to geek types is because although I dont look it, I am a geek type and relate better. I like quirkiness. Please dont go judging all women the same. Otherwise I could say the same about men. I get so many men after me for my looks. Not for who I am. It's hard to find a decent guy that likes me for me and not a pretty thing to carry around and f**k. I class myself as an incel now because I'm staying single and not having s3x. Men are too difficult to read and too scary when they think your theirs and controlling traits come out. Plus they get paranoid you cheat. I've had so many hot guys after me whilst single and not one I slept with. I'm not like that and have more self respect. If by some miracle I find a decent guy who is genuine and I do trust, which i doubt i could again. Then I would have s3x again. But I'm not being used as a s3x toy. Theres more to women than just our bodies.
@@RobertDniroLHCAre you saying it's a bad thing to pick an attractive partner? Would you really say the same to a man, to not pick an attractive woman as a partner? Would you blame him if said woman turned out to be abusive?
@@Hello-hello-hello456 That guy made a common argument: that women ought to give the 80% of men a chance, that are not part of the most attractive and successfull few. And he is not wrong. Only these 80% do get a chance: with women who are not part of the most attractive themselves. 😅 Which seems not to be enough to these men. 😉 Statistically, online dating scewed expectations of who is interested in us (taken from a sociological study): very attractive men give everyone some attention (just to sleep with them) and women translate this as "I have a realistic chance with the most attractive men!". Which is incorrect. They never had a realistic chance, only a chance of being used for a bit of attention. This happens so often it now has a statistically relevant effect in real life. 😅 And women thus expect these men to be interested in them in real life too. Which they aren't. And the 80% of normal guys have really dissapointing experiences online. The common counter-argument is: online dating is not effective for you, so go and be a kind, fun, exciting person elsewhere. Unfortunately, the frustration from that online process turns a lot of people into bitter assholes who try to belittle others online. Hence his really aggressive and insulting comment. 😅
The problem isn't the message, it's why those influencers use it. They don't care about any loser living a crappy life, they care about the money and support those losers give them. People like Andrew Tate are basically cult leaders, kind of modern versions of Jim Jones.
The message is the problem for the critics. Anyone attacking them for taking money is just a hypocrite. Dr K is taking money yet he is a good guy. Even Biden takes a cut, quote "for the big guy". Btw this mentality of "uh earning money is bad" is part of the mainstream bundle of beliefs that are being rejected by the red pill and other intellectual movements.
I am a man and I will hug people when I want to as long as it’s appropriate and not out of context, but I definitely hug people when I can. What leads to that ability is when you can remove your own fears and actually make an effort to be social even if it’s not in your comfort zone. The biggest problem we have is men not being comfortable with being uncomfortable. We must create positive habits and do things repeatedly. Whatever we have done this past week is more likely what we are going to do in the next two. It’s like not wanting to go to the gym but then realizing how beneficial it was after a week of going
The problem is that a lot of men find themselves in situations where there is not an appropriate context to hug anyone for years of our lifes. The reason for this is partly because of myths like patriarchy that Dr. K is erroneously spreading.
@@treeforged9097Maybe get a massage once in a while (not necessarily with a happy ending) to get non sexual touch. It might not be ideal, but you're waiting for years for that ideal.
@@treeforged9097 I've never understood how they would attribute things like not showing emotions to the patriarchy when it's women creating those situations. I have never in my life heard a guy said he broke down crying in front of his close male friends and had them leave him because of it but the amount of men I personally know who have been abandoned by their wife/gf after crying or breaking down in front of her is more than I can even recall. You see this mentioned over and over and over again online, men refuse to open up because of the impact on the relationships with women NOT OTHER MEN. It's very clearly driven by instinct and to ascribe it to patriarchy is mental laziness and intentional ignorance even on Dr.Ks part.
Wonderful Doctor! I used to work in a helpline and one caller upset everyone else ... I was the only person to express sorrow for him that he needed to say the worst things he could think of and upset everyone else. He could not handle that ... I was immune to being upset because I wanted to understand him.
Yeah that's the problem with "toxic" inspiration, yeah? It's back to manipulation. It's bad when the goal is not to help them but just say what they want to hear to make them pay those people more.
See, you are so sure in your notion but have you had a civil conversation with a friend who believes this stuff and tried seeing their viewpoint and why this helped them? You watched this video and are doing exactly what you shouldn't be doing, based on my very much flawed judgement.
@@letsreadtextbook1687did you speak to these people who watch them and ask them if they benefited from it and then are saying this or are you assuming this to be the case based on your own anecdotes? If so then you are doing exactly what doctor k is saying you shouldn't do, LISTEN to these people and see their pov and then make a judgement based on this knowledge.
@@theJACK__ see? You haven't made friends or even tried understanding them(correct me if I'm wrong) You won't know if they actually benefited from this or if they were just being taken advantage of until you understand the reasoning but how can you do that without talking to them? You can say that they are just being taken advantage of and you could be correct but without your own understanding of it and experience with it, what you are left with is a judgement you have already made on what is happening to these men and this was talked about in the video. Don't make judgements first, talk to them, understand the problem, see if you can understand the logical reasoning behind why it happens and THEN you come to a judgement.
I love that Dr. K highlights that the are real issues for today's men while criticizing the toxic masculine crowd. It's been hard for me to make those coexist because it's the "Shut up" voice on one side and toxic masculinity on the other. One makes you feel unseen, minimized, and like no cares. The other seems to encourage that, but you know it's not right and feel guilty agreeing with them on anything. It's very validating to hear "Yes there is a problem, no that's not the answer."
I think there's a massive culture difference in the idea of responsibility to others. People have wildly different philosophies on this, and I think I can sadly say I don't feel much responsibility for vast majority of people around me and in my community, because it's not reciprocated. America is very individualist, or at least that's the picture I feel like I'm painted in with everybody else around me every day. I think there are so many other countries that have more care for each other, and I legitimately think it would make the world a better place.
I turn 30 this month and my ultimate issue in my adult life has been literally just trying to find another male friend. I find it infinitely easier to get dates than I do genuine male companionship. My current girlfriend was my best friend for several years before we started dating. She was literally the only person I could get to hang out with me outside of work, despite my best efforts. I've met so many guys who I've made laugh, supported, shared interests with, and even attained their phone numbers, but whenever it came to them actually coming out to meet me they'd always find some convenient excuse not to despite planning several weeks in advance, never having a negative experience with me and us knowing each other for several years. I'm at the point where I'm genuinely considering learning hypnosis just to get a bro. Edit: Never mind I made a friend and made friends with his friends and recently went to a convention with them. Life is good.
@@johnwayne4911 I feel it’s entirely normal to desire a friendship with someone belonging to your own gender, actually. It’s unfortunate you feel otherwise.
@@JoeKing69 yea but the fact you are framing it as though anyone owes you anything because 'ur funny' sounds gay as shit. who the fuck says "i attained another man's phone number"
He has definitely touched on a very specific dimension of the attraction of people such as Andrew Tate. But another dimension is also the picture/idea that these people project of "power and influence", of having "life sorted out" -- when in truth they are some of the most lost, with deeeeep issues that they try to hide (especially from themselves) with the picture they project, the money, the women, the cars - etc - which easily deceives gullible young man that have no idea what a true role model is. So, it is not only kids/young men feeling like they are understood -- it also plays on their desire of "women, money, fame, power" that is the image they project.
I have a serious question, what am I meant to do when his reply is that “because Andrew Tate understands that all women are thots” or something like that? I am willing to bet my left tit no Andrew Tate fan is going to say “I am affected by loneliness and inadequacy and that’s why I gravitate toward trp”.
How to fix it. Always no matter what? Create a better alternative. And there is always a better alternative out there and for the small possibility that there isn't one create it yourself.
coincidentally, i was happiest as a child when it was someone's (my parents) responsibility to take care of me. Now i am a grown man and it is no one's responsibility to care for me. I can't and don't expect anyone to hug me and i don't ever get hugs. life has only gotten worse for me
If it's of any solace, I would totally hug you if possible, it sounds like you need one We men need to get better at reaching out to each other, both when it comes to checking in on the people that matter to us, and also when it comes to reaching out for a hand when we struggle Bottling things up inside is not a good strategy, the pressure will only build and build and build until it explodes
Now you're responsible for yourself, something that is scary or freeing depending on your condition and point of view. It has its ups and downs, but as long as we keep being true to ourselves, we'll be fine. Always be the first to give. Forget about pride and those little things, just be the first always, reach out for that hug if you want to. That other person might be just thinking the same thing, and now they'll feel glad that it was you.
I think one is also responsible to be happy, not only to be a grown up. What I want to say is whenever things are not life and death, or living without a roof over your head, one way forward is to have a bit of fun. I assume you are a tough person, probably quite dependable.
We always say "Talk things out" - last year I discovered how much more powerful a hug can be. If the person wants to get comfort. "I'd like to hug you, is that okay?" And just do it. No talking, just a simple gesture.
Yes, we need "individual responsibility" for people to start caring about anyone other than themselves. If only we could invent some kind of word to describe individuals working with other individuals...
It is interesting how men's problems are no one's problems but the individual's himself, yet women's problems need to be tackled down by the entire society
@@rkk578 Men have been just as instrumental in these problems as woman have been, if not more. Rugged individualism, i.e. Bootstraps mentality has gone off the rails and has resulted in men attacking each other, humiliating each other, and isolating each other. It has to end.
Society don't do sh!t because we forget we're PART of society. Every solution or problem starts with at least ONE person, and it's only when enough individuals come together that "society" plays a part, but change, regarding ANY sort of issue, starts with you and me right now.
That is true. Everyone is always saying "society needs to fix this" but never do anything themselves because they see society as some entity of its own that they don't have responsibility for when in reality it is everyone's responsibility. It's easy to say stuff like "I wouldn't make a difference unless society as a whole changes" but if you aren't even trying to help you are as responsible as everyone else
Well said, Dr. K. I am a woman therapist, and I can see how quickly judgments are made, one side against the other. Individuals are traumatized and also not educated about relationships. We need to TREAT PEOPLE AS PEOPLE FIRST, before judging by sex or gender. And we especially need to educate about relationships through our schools. Also Canada's mode of healthcare includes a team of doctor, nurse, and mental health social worker for every family practice. This discovers issues earlier and it avoids the stigma in America of special separate appointments for mental health problems.
Canadian here. It would be nice if our healthcare were as you describe, and the country does aspire to it, but the model of doctor, nurse and mental health social worker is not common. It might be available in some places within some regions, but definitely it is not yet the norm. It is a goal that we have yet to achieve on a wide basis.
I tried to understand toxic people in my personal life and suffered severely as a result. Some people are not worth saving if they're so confused that they become the cause of other peoples suffering. The "open arms" approach can work, but if there's only toxicity and bullying coming back in return, the only option is to turn away to protect oneself. I'm a determinist/non-compatibalist so I do believe that everyone has their reasons and had their environment causing them to be who they are, but that doesn't negate the consequences of their actions, even if they aren't ultimately responsible. There's a price to listening as well and sometimes it's not worth paying.
we need to take a similar approach to politics. the notion of "you're giving them a platform", them being a bad person or on the "other" side, is ridiculous. when the talking stops the real problems begin, and you're seeing it manifest more and more in politics.
I wanna add that kids don't always know why they do bad things (and much later as adults, they know even less, bc the source of trauma lies so far back they might not even remember), so even if you ask the kid who smeared feces at the walls "why", he might just say "i dunno". I'm speaking from my own experience (a way less disgusting prank, but) my mum actually asked me why. I said "dunno" and started to cry, possibly because I realized she was disappointed in me (i today think I just wanted attention as I had been neglected) while all I wanted was to be seen.
They don't need hugs, there rich and successful and have women that love them. Its the men who don't have any of those things who are suffering and its those guys that nobody listens to.
The problem is that women set the beauty standards and the resource standards. The beauty standards for men is basically, do you have breasts? If you do then your beautiful to me. if men were in control of beauty standards there would be no cosmetic surgery or high heals and make up. The problem is the high standards that women set for everyone including themselves and the fact that we are not allowed to talk about that reality.
The difference is, men are based. It's impossible that everyone is a high earner, it just becomes a new average. Meanwhile most men rate most women to be physically attractive. Women's physical standards are more unrealistic than men's. Most men are happy with the average woman, the average woman is not happy with the average man.
@@joschmo4497 Correct, I see men overrating 5/10 beckies all the time, as a woman just being nice and not obese will get you attraction from loads of men, but said woman believes she deserves better than the men attracted to her, but Chadlite/Chad won't always commit to her, so when they get pump and dumped, they become insufferable since 90% of men are invisible to them and the 10% left won't commit to them (therefore they are bad people) so it's a self fulfilling prophecy where those standards ruin things for both genders. In reality, women feel pressure to be gigastacies because their goal is chad, but they simultaneously think it's unfair that they have to give exceptional attributes to get him even though she is literally expecting chad for being chad lol.
@@joschmo4497 There's a study saying that men were consistent with what they found physically attractive in women, while women disagreed much more. Wouldn't this (women showing more "flexibility" in what they consider attractive) prove that beauty standards for men are looser, while men's expectations were more specific, e.i. harder to obtain? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19469598/
@@joschmo4497 This is so facts. The standards women have for men are FAR higher than vice versa. Its just that women have long and complex beauty processes and men do not... But at the same time some of these women should feel blessed they can boost their looks artificially while men cant wear makeup, cant change their height, their dick size, their baldness or their beard hair. (At least not without surgery)
Very impressive. I started listening thinking this would be bs supporting toxic masculinity. This guy opened (at least a bit) my mind. Very smart. The "jail" example was very relevant. I understand now that I was judgemental. And that I'm not familiar with such problems as I come from a loving family, as you mentioned. Thank you for making me grow a bit ❤
As a devoted fan of this new movement I must say that for me all of these people are the masculine father figure I never had when I grew up. I have a father, but he wasn't someone who guided me into adulthood, and these influencers; Tate Brothers, Hamza, Iman Gadzhi and many more are acting like that something I was missing. I don't care about having many women, millions upon millions or an empire, but I want to be able to have complete and utter freedom, to some extent that starts with money. Have the ability to retire and take care of my family is my main purpose.
The thing i realized about them and in comparison what the opposition does not do, is that they provide answers. Clear answers. Do this, think like this, and your life will improve. And to some extent, they are right. Focus on your career, go to the gym, avoid people that bring too much drama and conflict. Usually if you follow these guidelines your life willimprove, because going to the gym will improve your physical and mental health, focusing on your career will most likely end up with you earning more money and avoiding people that bring conflict to your life will have you living peacefully. But if you ask the opposition "what should men do" they answer with "just don't suck and don't R*** women", and that means nothing because for most men they are already doing that and they feel their life suck.
@@PsychoMachadono the other side doesn’t say “don’t suck and don’t ***e women” they literally say go to the gym focus on your career go to therapy seek help seek advice. You are part of the problem in thinking one side is out to destroy you when no one is doing. Ohh wait you heard it on twitter or X whatever it is now. The internet ISNT REAL LIFE. I went thru this red pill phase and all it did was destroy my relationships with friends and family bc I believed everyone who didn’t believe like me was out to put me down or destroy me. They weren’t they were trying to get me back on track. Money muscles all that fancy shit won’t get you love it will get you pussy, but love and sex are two different things. Majority of women aren’t online 24/7 so they don’t even care about the majority of things bitch about online! All the red pill groups are nothing more than a bunch of boys playing victim with each other. There are now more ways to get help for anyone than there was when I was a kid and yet the majority of the new generation are still struggling by avoiding the help! The one thing I will agree on with Tate is this and i majority of even leftist people agree fix yourself and learn to love yourself where we disagree on is blaming a whole other gender for not seeking help.
@@PsychoMachadoyes but they’re not exactly telling you something that you can’t come up with in your own. Working harder bears better fruits? Revolutionary. Going to gym is good for your health? Who would’ve guessed. Cutting people who will drag you down out of your life? Thought-provoking. Then they’ll charge you for a course where they will tell you the exact same thing. Absolutely, separate the advice from the advisor by all means, but things people like Tate say can barely be given the mantle of ‘advice.’ People like Tate aren’t there to help men, they see a gap in the market, and they took it. And they made money off of it. He’s not your guru, he’s an entertainer, and he’s being paid to entertain. It’s like that ever-evolving adage, Something like “you need an influencer to tell you that common sense is sensible to believe it, then I got some crypto to sell you - promise its value will explode.” Tate-esc individuals do exactly this, package common sense like a valuable, top-secret life-lesson. You’re not buying his advice, because that advice is innate common sense. What you’re buying is the packaging. You’re buying the bells and whistles attached to that advice.
@@Silkie_Dragon I agree that the 'advice' is something you can guess on your own. But compare both sides i mentioned. One side gives common sense advice that improves your life. The other side shouts common sense advice that implies men are terrible human beings that need to be told not to be horrible, and the advice does not improve their lives, it is just an insult. I'm not arguing whether it is legit or worthwhile to listen to someone as Andrew Tate or if he is a guru helping men. My point is that whether he's full of shit or not, he is saying some things that are in fact helpful. And if people giving common sense advice was worthless, we wouldn't have therapists telling people to take care of themselves, not overwork themselves and how to recognize abusive relationships. People that are not in a good place mentally and emotionally will seek someone to guide them or someone to look up to.
So far, everything I’ve heard from Dr. K just makes so much damn sense. I love this perspective, not only because it’s compassionate, but also because it’s just so reasonable. There’s too much black and white thinking out there and he is just constantly speaking with such interesting perspectives from the grey. Love, love, love him.
It's important to note that "toxic masculinity" has become a very broad umbrella term that's being thrown around to label men who aren't actually toxic. Just being muscular, owning luxurious cars and having casual relationships with women doesn't constitute "toxic masculinity", but this is exactly how it is being portrayed. "Toxic masculinity" is being pushed without the nuance that it needs. It's essentially an overcorrection to the detriment of society.
@@whit9172 Bullshit. There is no such thing as "toxic masculinity". Saying that insinuates that there is an inherent aspect of being male that is toxic. Complete BULLSHIT.
@@armonkaviani7808 Toxic masculinity isn't that masculinity is toxic its a version that us as a society consider masculine that is toxic. Stuff like dudes aren't allowed to cry stuff for example.
The innate problem is the idea that you can't be sad/suffering because others have it worse. It's why it hurts people with depression so much when both others, and themselves say "what have you got to be sad about?". But pain and sadness are always relative.
suggesting that men should "man up" does not help those who are struggling. In fact, using phrases like "man up" "figure it out" "pull urself by the bootstraps" can further exacerbate feelings of shame, isolation, and inadequacy for men who are already facing mental health challenges. It can perpetuate harmful stereotypes around masculinity that discourage men from seeking the support they need. Encouraging open and non-judgmental conversations about mental health, validating men's emotions, and connecting them to appropriate resources for help can be much more beneficial in supporting their well-being. It's important to approach mental health with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to listen rather than relying on reductive and dismissive phrases like "man up."
I have never heard anyone use the phrase man up. It sounds like something someone made up to ignore mens real problems. One thing I have heard when talking about my problems is that men are privileged. If you change the word "man up" with the word privileged in your statement then I would agree with it.
I try to sympathize with guys, I really listen to them however, the incels online I honestly cant stand because they just degrade women and its hard to have a conversation with a man who thinks you are shallow just for being a women. I tell them what my dating preferences are and they basically accuse me of lying and I can't deal with that.
For you to listen to incels or any other category of "person who shows disrespectful behaviour", you have to accept hearing bad stuff. An incel that is not going to degrade women and will respect your dating preferences, is probably not an "incel by definition" (sure, incel means involuntary celibate, but the word is used for the hateful ones, not the ones who are actually trying to improve, it's an identity issue). But as a "kind of involuntary celibate" i guess (i would never call myself that word), it's not that hard after you accept it that you are AND that you can hopefully change it. However, until you accept it/accept that you can change, it feels like you're in a war zone where the enemy AND your team is shooting at you, nobody is there to support you, and that's why many k*ll themselves (so that's why they may show aggressive behaviour towards you, it's a defensive mechanism)
I’m a female and I always emotionally support the males in my life. I hug them when they cry. I validate their feelings. One of them took advantage of my empathy to manipulate me. Another told me I literally saved his life. So guess what, I’ll always support men’s emotional health.
But it will always be men who would point fingers at me for raising my son to be a “soft man”. We need to fix this as a society. Women aren’t objects and men aren’t rocks.
@@Amazinglilflowers A fellow "soft man" here, being soft isn't easy when you're around other dudes because of those old stereotypes that we all know and hate but encouraging your son to be who he really is besides all of this stereotypical thinking, is really really appreciated and I'm glad to see that people like you exist.
@ thank you for your kind words and thank you for remaining true to yourself. I know how difficult it is for men these days. I hope you have a partner who values you as people like yourself are also very rare. Most men are just trying to fit in. A woman who craves disrespect needs therapy. She can’t emotionally connect with her partner so she needs to be controlled because her authentic self would never consider anybody else other than herself. And yes she will not stay with a healthy man because she desires the chaos her childhood was marked by. That does not mean that all men should want to cater to that type of woman! This is insane. If anything, men should want to attract women who love themselves enough to heal themselves so that they could be good partners and mothers.
Exactly, we forget that they need to be helped not hated. Something that helped myself and my best friend who went through a period of being an incel(both of us) was joining sports clubs that prioritized the social aspect as much as the sport itself. Way too many people over the age of 15 in particular have no hobbies and very minimal socializing and we wonder why they're mentally sick. clubs/sports/socializing won't fix everything but not having that in your life will cause a lot of damage.
he hits it on the head by the end of the video. when you are incel or just lonely guy, this is not something you can fix by yourself. you can reach out to other people again and again but how they respond to you is not in your control. someone else has to give you the acceptance, the time of day, the hug. if you dont get the acceptance, not only it sucks, but on top of that you are labeled loser, toxic, incel, whatever the word.. when you are denied acceptance over and over again, what do you do? of course you end up with men that are suicidal, and the general population is laughing at them, mocking them, bullying them as if thats the right thing to do. is it ? adrew tate is the guy who is standing up for this marginalized group. dont treat unfortunate men like sh*t, and they wont need andrew tate. listening to andrew tate is still better than picking up gun and going for a rampage. many unfortunate men took this route and its tragic.
that's still kind of a victim mentality, like lifes so hard on me and i need to reach out to someone so my life is fixed, that's not going to work, religion used to fix these problems back in the day, now that it's gone in the west, men feel completely on their own with their own warped devices that lead them to dark paths
If you’re an incel it’s your own selfish fault. Don’t make excuses to be a shitty woman hating misogynist who feels entitled to women. This is the real issue, men feel entitled to having their needs filled by other people and want to be babied instead of looking outside of themselves and holding themselves accountable.
The biggest problem I've seen is that people have a very NIMBY-like mindset when it comes to other people's struggles. Everyone wants their friends and families to have good mental health, but nobody wants to be the one to put effort out into the world to make sure that happens. As a society, we've defaulted to telling people 'Have you tried seeing a therapist'? Let me tell you what that translates to in the mind of someone who's despairing: "Shut up, go away, make this somebody elses problem, I'm just here for as long as the good times last' It's a trend that stretches to a lot of problems. Everyone wants the problems to go away, nobody wants to be the one to put in the work to make them go away. And of course I'm guilty of that too, and so are you reading this, we all do it to some extent or another, we shy away from problems and hope they just resolve themselves. I think we're poorly adapted to this wider globalist society, things are too big, there's too many people, it's easy to shirk responsibility for things. It's the bystander effect on a global scale.
You are right. It seems like we also value our personal comfort a little bit too much (guilty of that myself at times). It’s easy to slap labels on everything and everyone without trying to see a real person and their struggles and needs + to not devalue their hardships if they are smaller that our own or someone else’s. Cause this only makes the loneliness and alienation grow stronger. Also if some of us had a lucky chance to heal themselves through therapy why not at least try to help those who either can’t afford it or were born long before the popularization of psychology (our parents, for instance), of course it will work only if they are open to help themselves too. But just blaming without trying to help or wear someone else’s shoes is pointless and hurts. The same is going on in the society where men and women (or e.g. any social groups who have opposing views on smth) are nitpicking the reasons to despise each other instead of trying to find a strong ground for respect and mutual help, trying to truly understand the differences, the similarities and the way it works together. It’s easier to think black/white than to try to accept each other And especially I liked your point on the bystander effect in a globalist society where the problems are someone else’s not mine. With ongoing wars, economical and ecological problems and all the stuff, it’s easier to dive into the fairy world of the entertaining content than to try to educate oneself on what’s happening and what can I do to make it at least 0,001% better. Hope I am making at least some sense and thank you very much for sharing your thoughts
Part of the problem is that the structure of society no longer enforces the superiority of men like it once did and this has prompted an identity crisis. In the past if you were a man, even if you weren't doing well you at least knew you were higher up the ladder than women, gays, ethnic minorities etc. Those structures have been weakened and men are floundering. Other than forcibly putting women and minorities 'back in their place,' the only other option is to change what it means to be a man, something many men seem highly resistant to. It's a deeper problem that the rest of us just being compassionate isn't going to fix (though it certainly won't hurt.) Men also have to be willing to take on the burden of introspection and not just double down.
And this is how Donald Trump got his rise in popularity: by actually acknowledging that people's lives were hard. He's a lying grifter, but he knows how to figure out what people want to hear.
Hmm, this was quite intriguing to watch. I had an unexpected reaction initially. I felt the urge to disengage from the rest of the video entirely, but I forced myself to listen attentively. Eventually, I realized that I cannot align with their requests, and perhaps that's a shortcoming on my part. I struggle to summon compassion for individuals like Andrew Tate. When someone's response to vulnerability is to actively harm others, I find it difficult to disregard such behavior. Sure, if a kid does it, I can understand since they're still learning, but these guys are adults, and their actions speak volumes about their character. I prefer not to associate with such individuals. I think perhaps I cannot empathize this way because I simply cannot understand the desire to extensively hurt someone else when you're hurt. Sure, lashing out happens, but these guys are on an extensive campaign to demean women. I have more empathy for newer members or those who express frustration, but continuously diving deeper into hate doesn't click for me. Haven't they encountered a line they think should not be crossed? Where is that line for them, and how haven't they reached it by now? It's disheartening to hear the recurring narrative that either blames feminism or expects others to do the work for individuals like these. Where is the accountability in this equation? They can't possibly be truly happy when they act this way, so why not embark on a journey of self-reflection or pursue personal growth through avenues such as education, yoga, meditation, or therapy? Why should I prioritize their pain when they exhibit a blatant disregard for the suffering they inflict upon others? A bully should not be granted leniency for persisting in their bullying behavior. If a man's reaction to women or minority folks, who, let's face it, are just living their lives, is to make things worse and perpetuate abuse, why should we bother being compassionate or hanging out with them?

I had to abandon my friend today because he was going so far down the fatherless behavior path of redpill culture, I never cared about the working out or the defining roles between men and women, its all this "cheating is good and marriage is bad" from someone who comes from a divorced family that I cant stand. Just because your family fell apart doesnt mean you have to cast that evil on those of us whos family is still together and healthy. Its sickening behavior.
They also claim to know about muslim culture even though they are white christians and are trying to tell me all sorts of shit about Israel even though I have literal family living their. I feel like that is evil.
Is their toxic femininity ?????? Filing fake cases , fake allegations . Does a $imp like you see toxic femininity in society ?????
0:29 I want to know exactly where Andrew Tate said "the way to be a man is to have load of money, load of woman, load of cars" How can you lie like that? This is bad influence.
@TheDiaryOfACEOClips This is shameful, Andrew never said anyone to do what he do. All he says (70%)how to be disciplined, Consistent, work hard without motivation, how to not waste time, how to build a strong mindset to face any challengers, how to overcome your fears. And (30%)his opinions about the world.

“Help me understand why you like this” is a king statement towards success in a relationship.
First step of active listening is to make space for the person and make them feel heard. Amazing advice for everyone.
@@rw5622 100%. I am trying to learn to not rush to solutions and be more willing to hold space by using statements like this.
I'll help you understand. All our lives we've been misled about the female nature, put it on the pedestal, demonizing all things masculine. We were told being a gentleman was the way to go, that this is how to get a woman. And then reality hit us in the face, many were confused why they're not getting the results they wanted. The advent of the social media happened and the hookup culture opened so many men's eyes on how females actually select men. These "influencers" are doing nothing but reaping the benefits of feelings that already existed, and men like Tate are respected because they don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk. They are fighting back against the fe--mi--nist narrative that has favored wmen for far too long at men's expense.
From female point....
The problem with the "masculine coaching" talking about what it means to be man is:
that its being taught
if its taught it looks very unnatural.
Its like not realising who I am what is my nature, so I need a tutorial to understand my biology.
And because it looks unnatural, it may create a "narcissistic mindset"
because boys may learn some untrue information about life.
Or they decide to believe every word someone says on internet, instead of listening their own heart and intuition.
Your own intuition that you were born with, will give you much more information,
than some company that wants to brainwash you and sell you some product or cosmetics or some stuff.
They don´t have your best interests in heart.
Your own self or (your soul) knows much better what you feel, what you need, what your true feelings are.
If you like meditation, nobody should say, its not manly behavior,
if you love flowers and puppies, and glass of wine and bathroom decoration
nobody should tell you it is not masculine enough
if you love nice music or calming music of flute,
nobody should tell you it´s not masculine enough
if you don´t like smoking, nobody should tell you its not masculine enough
Only you and your "higher self" knows what you really love.
if you like walking on the beach, and read poetry or some philosophic thoughts,
nobody has right t tell you its not enough
and that you can not live the life the way you want.
Most women actually like the men who follow their own "higher self" intuition and like calming music
that some tutorial about masculinity
because these women know that you may be both brave and masculine
yet you may be decent, sensitive and love the kind of music that calms your body down, or puts you in state of meditation or in state of creativity, knowledge, science, philosophy
Women know such men are very thoughtful, and can pick a job they love. :))))
because they know how to think, they trained their philosophical thinking muscles as well, not just the hand muscles, but a head and heart muscles. and in every job, emotional intelligence is important, to understand what the employees need and under what circumstances they work better. it´s clear that if people understand each other they work much easier and happier.
and normal woman want a normal guy with heart or emotional intelligence,
If she notices he has no heart, she doesn´t feel safe and that his coworkers don´t feel safe.
Then she becomes disliked by many people who dislike her suband. It´s logical.
Tbh the reason why I like some of the red pill stuff is because it fuels this bitterness I have towards women for rejecting and making me feel lonely and stupid. So if I see these podcasts that try and make women look dumb it makes me feel a little good inside.
“You can’t hug yourself; it doesn’t work”. God this made me want to cry.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True, but you can't just expect people to give you a hug if you don't ask, or if you ask in a way that is off putting.
@@memegazerthis is a good motivator for being a good person.
Actually you can. If both arms go clockwise or counterclockwise. Unless you're overweight. Fat people need more love.
I know your pain
I work on building sites and one day a guys girlfriend dumped him the same day his dad died.
I have never seen somebody cry so hard before.
A group of women (cleaners on the building site) overheard and started laughing about it which humiliated him and most guys just ignored him.
It took me and one other guy (a joiner if memory serves) to go over and talk to him.
He seemed okay but he took his life 8 weeks later.
We need to look out for each other better guys.
RIP Jonny.
Yet its women who have the audacity to go around saying "toxic masculinity." "Toxic masculinity" never killed a women, yet "toxic feminity" kills men everyday... A person like Andrew Tate would of saved this man. He would have motivated him and given him hope to carry on living, as opposed to laughing at his suffering.
@@moneymanrahim7772 I totally agree mate.
I agree with 95% of what Tate says but he does go too far in my opinion.
My gf of 4 years has just left me a month after landing a job where she's earning £1500 a day...
Whereas if I win millions on the lottery I'd of stayed with her.
I've done absolutely everything for her too, supported her through mental illness and cared for her horses when she was physically and mentally unable.

I'm sorry this happened to your friend..
as a woman, I cannot fathom laughing at someone's misery..I am raised to be benevolent and caregiving to people..

Most of The women who I've seen laughing at men believe that "men shouldnt cry" "men are meant to be the unbreakable money earners" type of bs..
These types of people are traditional which most of the women today don't agree with..

I try my best to not worship or completely justify all of a person's points in any way that makes it seem like they appear perfect. That being said, I tried so hard to disagree with Dr. K on anything I could find, and I can safely say, that 99.999999999999% of his takes sit well with me. Even if I didn't agree at first, by the time I'm done hearing him out on something specific, anything at all, I eventually see how my stance is the same as his, he just had a different route to getting there, all for me to realize we always end up to the same conclusion.

Ooh yes. That statement really stuck out to me too. I can really appreciate that.
I like this!!
I used to work fast food, worked it for 5 years. I was a full time worker and always tried to stay positive despite the angry customers. Long story short, I became severly deppressed(A bunch of life stuff) and used alcohol to cope. It got to the point where I started missing shift. First thing my manager said to me when she sat me down for a "Talking to" was: "Is everything alright, is there anything I can do to help you? You are one of our best employees, and I know that you are struggling". Nearly broke down right there, I was already beating myself up and I was expecting to be reemed out for my misconduct. But instead I was met with compassion. Now that I am doing so much better, I must pay it forward for you never know someones situation
hell yeah
What a beautiful comment here. I wish I could give you a mom hug
What your boss did for you… when you do it for someone else, you’ll not only help them heal, you’ll heal a part of yourself and the world will be all the brighter for it.
Good luck brother. 🫡
Something tells me that you were only given compassion due to the previous work you already put in. “A man is loved only so long as he is useful”
My favorite thing about Dr. K is the frivolous use of the Desi hand gestures
Rofl will keep an eye out for them his words are so deep insightful and innovative that I never got a chance to notice it
I can't unseen them now 😂
Definitely grew up in an Indian home. Hand gestures are 100% cultural
I've never felt so proud of a desi person as much as Dr k he's my idol fr
I'm not desi myself (i know alot of south asians and consume content centered around you guys) and couldn't help but notice and smile
I fucking love how this guy is solution oriented and is not drawn in by the drama of problems.
That’s his job
@@doms5755 Ok.
He have the knowledge and tools to antagonize and still he is there to leasing people.
the problem is that men who listen to him - do not learn from him, do not solve the problem, but the opposite - act like drama queens )))))))))))) What is the point
@@ОльгаБендзар bruh this is the exact thing that he is talking about how can someone be so blind like he says whenever we demonize someone (given the cirucumstances) we dont work towards a solution but a brick wall. So what you did there just exemplifies the argument he stated by saying that all men are drama queens. Have some empathy.
I've followed Dr.K for years. His focus has been on gamers, primarily because of the struggles of the type as they tend to be more socially awkward, introverted, etc..., but the things he says applies to everyone - especially men. Good to see him branching out into the non-gamer sphere because his messages can help lots of people even outside that
his target demographic lies at young people in general who are most vulnerable of getting fucked over by the rampant, ever increasing changes happening to the world
It's just branding. Even if your stuff is completely universal, pretending like what you're doing is niche will always benefit you as it creates an image, and allows followers to actually funnel into view. If you do everything then you just kinda faceless, hard to find compared to someone with a face and does the same thing.
@@Mico-Xiyeas It's also branding that makes sense. He was probably the first psychiatrist streaming on Twitch which already set him apart but branding himself there as "The shrink for middle aged housewives" wouldn't really fit in that sphere. Also having such plenty access to gamers, who tend to be more reclusive and maybe less prone to do therapy, is really a unique selling point and potentially interesting from a professional PoV.
@@LordMegatherium yeah, branding that makes sense is important
I believe in the full interview, that's 1 hour & 33 minutes long, he actually says he was originally addicted to video games. Probably why he started there.
I like that he can acknowledge the problems that many men face without making it a competition or denying the issues that women face. These days everything turns into s stupid competition of who has it worst. That helps nobody.
"denying the issues that women face"
Please tell me exactly which issues women face because as far as i know men have it so much worse.
It's the argument of someone has it worse so you can't complain. That could be applied to anyone and then we will solve no ones problems. People should be treated as individuals. Just because women as a whole have it harder has nothing to do with an individual mans problems. Dr K is awesome.
why do I care what women go through at all our entire society caters to their shit and literally tells me to fuck myself and go die
Its as if people like that think its a zero sum game
@@dracula7779 because it is. Literally A dude here killed himself because he opened up a domestic violence shelter for men to escape with their children and Then womens groups got the funding shut down because they needed the funding more according to them and manipulated their puppets to defund it so.

Two years ago I, quite unprofessionally, lost it on the CTO of my company in front of the entire engineering dept. (virtually). He asked to have a meeting after, and I pretty much thought I was toast... His first words were: "What's going on man, you look like you're hurting.."

As a former disconnected man I am now a compassionate hugger. This validates a lot. Thank you.
It’s because of d whole gay thing in d west. Two men being close is automatically suspicious. It keeps them away from each other and lonely. Even conservative cultures around d world allow their men to touch each other for fun and games. Even if they’re gay, it’s fine too. Holding hands or hugging shouldn’t be considered sexual by nature. Everything is so scandalized in d west. Anything is interpreted with double meaning or a hidden message 🤦♀️. So everyone walks on eggshells in case something may “seem” inappropriate.

I have experienced a great deal of empathy from female therapists who have validated my struggles, despite my status as a well-off white man. Of course they are paid to do so, but they seem genuine and their advice has been helpful. So do my female friends and my sisters.
But my impression is that a lot of these men do not have exposure to women of the same age early in life or don't form female friendships, so they develop this attitude. I know growing up with sisters I was close to had a tremendous impact on my emotional development.
How would you say that you have developed emotionally by growing up with sisters as opposed to people without sisters? Can I also know how old your sisters are compared to you? I’ve got a little sister but I think both having little sisters and big sisters will be very different.
If you want a honest answer your sister (family) or your therapists (paid) is not rly the way to go
@@user-zg2bx4oz2p Then who would you suggest? Andrew Tate? This guy? (Who is also a therapist, as you know. Just because his advice is free doesn't change the fact that he was trained as a therapist - and he is making money off of this channel, so his advice is indirectly not free.)
Believe me, my sisters have been brutally honest with me and told me stuff I didn't want to hear. And those damn female therapists have provided me with insight into the female mind when I was very confused about certain things. It was worth the money.
@@aciidbraiin8079 I have two younger sisters. One year and four and a half years younger.
A critical issue is that I am _close_ to my sisters. I was when I was growing up, and I am today. I was raised to see women as equals. My father doesn't exhibit the objectification of women, even casually, that typifies so many Boomer men.
The big, big contribution is very simple. It allows you to see women as _people,_ with their own problems, insecurities, failings etc. They're just people, not a separate species. This dynamic, that seems to characterize women for incels, is not there. It made forming female friendships easy when I was older - just treat women like people.
And then there's the other stuff, like seeing the toxic sh*t women have to deal with all the time. Or having to worry about their physical safety in ways that we just don't consider. My sister had a guy follow her home one night in college. She got to her house, and her male rugby-player roommate and three of his friends chased the guy for two blocks :D
Then there's just being used to feminine 'plumbing' and not getting freaked out by the fact that yes, women produce blood, which apparently a lot of men are weird about, but you see that stuff in the garbage all the time and then the dog gets into it and scatters it all over the floor etc. and you don't think it's a big deal, because hey, it's what women are like.And you've learned this by your early teens.
Now keep in mind I was raised in a close, loving family environment, which a lot of people are not, and that is key to this whole dynamic, as it is to a whole bunch of stuff regarding developing into a functioning, well-adjusted, ethical human in general. I swear, considering the consequences, part of me thinks you should have a license to be a parent...good lord...
@@squamish4244 Bro you are literally just calling men ignorant and implying they objectify women. That's not the issue here. Women would rather view every man as an imminent threat and then say they'll only accept the top 1% of men as a "partner".

@MarcosGabrielSantosRocha I have personally experienced sexual, physical, and mental abuse starting around the age of 9 to probably late 20s. And I feel terrible for those who are in the middle of war, especially since I am from old soviet union and someone who has lived in both Ukraine and Russia. Still. Life is not as challenging as people make it out to be, and the reason for that is that people do not think for themselves.
Something bad happened to you? People feel sorry for you and tell you that you are a victim. As long as you consider yourself a victim, you can not move forward and not feel like one.
You get into a bad relationship or get rejected by women too much. What do you do? Start listening to people who tell you that women are evil. You then again feel like a victim. You can't fix things about yourself assuming it's someone's else fault.
You chose not to get proper education and don't make enough money? Whose fault is that? Yours. You are also the one who can change that.
Are you too short? Get funny and/or charismatic. Presidents of Ukraine and Russia are both short men. One was a comedian, and another was cop before becoming presidents.
What else? Your dick too short, learn how to eat pussy. Lol. There is a solution for everything. Just don't be a victim. Don't listen to wrong opinions or blame others for your mistakes.
Well some spiritual people got a "download" or information that
The planet Earth will be split in two worlds, and it should happen this year.
3D world, or so called materialistic world, where people think in materialistic way (matter to matter way)
judging, commenting, reacting, blaming, being obsessed with politics, news, being constantly nervous, anxious...
its "horizontal" thinking, because the energy is exchanged between people.
If you think matter to matter way, the results, come much slower, and harder.
Energy to matter , is better way, because energy changes matter.
The other part of the world will be in 5D, dimesion: (energy to matter way)
5D world is not about arguing, but about manifestation.
Its vertical thinking, because the energy comes mostly from the Universe, the love energy.
As Einstein said or some phy&sicists say Energy can not be created or destroyed. It just is.
You bring your positive energy, playful, smilling, loving energy
and with right group of understanding people the positive energy should come back to you.
Which means people make a decision consciously, to not judge, overanalyze, blame, or be obsessed with some political correctness
or ego thinking, self-limited thinking, fragile thinking, that creates low energy vibrations, in relationships.
But they make a decision to appreciate people with their imperfections, knowing they improve with time....
They decide to show empathy love, understanding instead of judging.
They decide to communicate instead of reacting etc.
So if they see that youa re imperfect yet, but they know you can improve in some ways and give you time to achieve your goals, or improve your habits.
because only Ego is obsessed with perfectionsim. Ego is impatient. Therefore don´t listen the ego thoughts, but listen to your higher self thoughts.
Your true self is about creativity, love and freedom.
When you go to nature for a walk, it energizes you, and it´s about being energized in a way that you don´t feel a need to blame everybody for some nonsense.
But if you notice some toxic person who is solving everything with a drama,
, you should leave the room and say to them, I apologize but this type of energy isn´t for me, it´s distracting, It doesn´t make me feel good.
Our thoughts and emotions create energy.
The right types of friends will not be offended and they will even say compliments to you for your genuine energy and personality.
With this 5D work, you have the right to pick friends or partners who make you feel good.
Come on man, this title is ridiculous. He explicitly avoided commenting on Tate and here you are trying to twist his words into click bait.
Agreed
Dr. K is a Gem, always judgement free and empathetic.
Whatever man, it kind of got me to click the video, and it turned into a damn good video, Dr k is pretty sick man, he's got nothing but good messages, so if you gotta use tate to get people here than why not, maybe now, person that never knew Dr k before and clicked on the click bait to see some shit about tate, is now gonna gravitate towards Dr k content, which is a many many many times better role model then tate will ever be...sometimes clickbait isn't all that bad, sometimes it's bullshit though
Agreed, but I’m cool with it - the info shared was solid enough to justify the bait. I wish more click bait was like this.

Dr K dropping truth bombs…. as is his specialty.
Big time truth here. I respect him
Truth bombs like "toxic masculinity"?😂😂😂
@@soacker25 yeah, like yours.
People got SO defensive here, I feel like they got called out lol
@@soacker25what’s crazy is that people just hear the words patriarchy and toxic masculinity and totally write off his opinion, and side with the RP community because those phrases are “invalid.” Which ironically enough is exactly dr K’s point.
People rarely want to look at the psychology behind things. That is one of the biggest problems in our world.
Because of fear, both of being seen as empathizing with monsters/degenerates and of a false equivalence that wanting to understand the root of poor behavior is the same as excusing it. Or as Dr K put it that people have already made a conclusion in their mind about why certain people are how they are through judgement.
Nobody got time for nuances
@@N3bulAura yep and thats the pit fall of a society dominated by social media. People got neither time nor the attention span for anything productive. they have been conditioned to consume content, looking from 1 instant gratification to the next. Why bother trying to think deeply / research / reflect about each topic, when its easier, faster and more satisfying to just look for people who agrees with your base assumption, that means you are the "smart one" that already knows all the correct answer.
I suspect there are a lot of people who are just incapable of understanding even only slightly complex things. It hurts their brain to try and go beyond basic concepts of logic and understanding.
Trying to think literally annoys them.
I think in large part, people THINK they care about the psychology behind things, but they rely on more generalized models that focus on the group rather than the individual. It may be they think sociology and social psychology are the same thing when talking about social dynamics, but because only one of those is really talked about (sociology), they never consider the psychology aspect because they think they’re already received it, if that makes sense
What an absolute Bodhisattva this man is! He is able to have compassionate for everyone's perspective and find the needle of love in the haystack! What a brilliant clip!
“Don’t try to stop it, first try to understand it.” Very profound way to put it by Dr. K. Reminds me of when Michael Moore asked Marilyn Manson what he would say to the Colombine Shooters. Marilyn said, “I wouldn’t have said a word, I would have listened to them.”

@@scottverge938 thank you
What we are missing here is the alternative approach. Where are the channels promoting a healthy expression of masculinity? You are both great examples. What young boys and young men need is positive role models to look up to
Dry Creek Wrangler School is fairly good (I do not agree with him on the religion part, but he seems like a good guy). James Smith is also fairly ok.
@yolojabroneo one of the biggest problems men face is the type of deeply entrenched victim complex. You might not realize it but your comment is a perfect example. Instead of simply answering “Andrew Grace” or the others out there, you had to frame your comment entirely around your perceived victimhood from the anti-“mens movement” manipulators. The fact you needed to bring up your perceived victimization in a comment that didn’t require it is a massive problem.
I’m a white man and business owner and it’s sad to see how many young men who I employee share that victimhood you expressed. One of my main roles besides the obvious advice about working hard on the job is to help counsel these young men in positive masculine ways. Do you know what I never do? Tell them they are victims of sjws, feminists, etc.. It’s such a deeply self destructive way to view the world and I would really encourage you to reflect on and hopefully get out of that mindset. It will set you free.
And just to be clear; nothing I’m saying has anything to do with the truth of examples where men get the short end of the stick. That absolutely does happen. What I’m talking about is how you choose think about your agency. This sort of victimhood is an especially big problem in the black community where their belief in being oppressed has the psychological effect of making them less self empowered. Victimhood is a toxic prison of your own mind and only serves as a mechanism to blame others for failures. It makes weakness flourish.
There's plenty, but it really depends on what you mean by masculinity. I like Jax Blades fitness channel myself. Or the Bioneer
1. Dr K is literally one of those channels
2. Dr K literally said JUST looking outside of yourself to find solution egm observing role models isn't the solution. Empahisis on just.
3. And there is plently on channels already but there are reason them existing havent changed much.
4. Stop redirecting the responibility. As dr k said. Its time for all of US to do. Its time YOU do something time for ME to do something,not the channel.
@sampsonoff when women are actual victims we dont tell them “ get over your victimhood mentality” but when men are actual victims (which they are in large) you tell them to man up and look at the world different. Hahahahahahhahahahaha buddy you need to interrogate your beliefs about how the world operates. its not sjws and feminism we are victims to its a spiritual war
"don't try to stop it, understand it first" bars
Simply hearing this be acknowledged makes me feel like not giving up. It's been so hard for so many years.
true but this is the minority, most people still do bot care about us.
how's mr. doing?
I have struggled for 5 years with different struggles back-to-back, I've been able to not give up due to having friends and family that care about me
For your own sake, do not bottle everything up on the inside
Hold on brothers, life will be good, and it many ways it already is. Life cares about us even if women won't.
You can take care of yourself, you aren't children.
When it comes to loneliness crisis, not having friends, relationship, being isolated, touch starved, etc: so basically healthy human relationships and interaction, this is a global issue for the whole world, where local communities basically disappeared, and people struggle maintaining a social network (families, friends) that gives them emotional safety.
THANK YOU so much of this is rooted in a lack of emotional intimacy or connection with people in their community. these men see 0 alternative and their only out is toxic leadership or horrible addictions that lead to spiraling. If we want people to stop listening to these influencers they need an alternative
@@bensheard3969 A lot of them have poor social skills as well, either because they haven't learned them at home or because they are f.e. neurodivergent. But instead of improving themselfs ( this is different for neurodivergency ) they externalize and blame everyone else. Which makes others back away from them. They need therapy tbh.
@@danika9411 I'm not denying some of these people have toxic qualities but I'm sorry id much rather listen to them than the mainstream "blue pill" personalities that profit off of men suffering and offer 0 actionable advice to how to improve your situation. If your going to say "traditional masculinity" is toxic and find any excuse to put a man down because of an identity not an actual criticism that does NOTHING but make me and many others lean into these people more. There is no good community or advice for a modern independent minded man that is perfect so your just telling me to move to the chopping block like cattle.
And hustle culture. You need time to build and maintain friendships. If you're working multiple jobs and / or have 60-70 h workweeks when are you supposed to meet friends etc.
I really wonder how much your point about local communities being basically non-existent now affects things. After you finish school, unless you're really outgoing and sociable and are able to make friends easily at work or the gym or wherever you're going regularly, in my experience it can be difficult to develop meaningful relationships because we really don't get the chance to sit down with people and get to know them just for the sake of it. I think a lot of people's problems would be solved if they had a supportive community around them, but instead of living in them and depending upon them like we used to (and are still wired to), we are isolated in single family households that we have to drive to and from to get anywhere. The majority of people we see every day are encased in metal vehicles, completely unreachable to us.
I like that he doesn’t condone the toxic masuclity but wants to understand it so he can help others get past it.
Yep, he’s a doctor, this is what good diagnosis looks like. Identify the problem, understand the full nature of it, and take actionable steps for treatment.
most people would not choose that path if they had a better alternative, it's ultimately shallow and unfulfilling
Absolutely! A lot of men are starving for any shred of validation or support, and when influencers like Andrew Tate are the only ones giving it, these men rally around them.
We need to provide a better alternative for men than either becoming a doormat or "red pilled."
This is why I say us men need to start reaching out to each other. So many men isolated from each for no reason at all. We need to set up a brotherhood or a fraternity. Not paying for classes set up by one guy who’s only uniting in a cult like fashion.
A better alternative? LMAO. Go on, tell us what it is. Someone to lie to us and tell us it's all about personality?

im a 40 year old white guy with 3 kids an awesome wife and a house, i have it all. I spent my whole life helping my extremely large family with their renovations, car trouble, going over to move heavy stuff ect, its to the point that i get a panic attack when my phone rings (and it does a lot each day) because someone needs something. Ive always been good at fixing anything even electronics as a kid.
Im at home right now on a monday afternoon living off my credit margin because im burnt out, ive been running on fumes for years, no one stops calling for stuff, and they know what i'm going through. The world cares about men but in my experience its just our bodies they need functional.
I feel you bro
I am a woman, but a couple of years ago I got burned out because of helping others so much. I ended up maintaining my parents during the pandemic, while working a job I didn't like. I ended up shutting down and it took me 6 months to "move on". I hope you can rest all you need, take time for yourself and prioritize your well being.
Not everyone has families where saying no is an option, I sincerely hope you are better now
Sorry it's that hard. In my experience, learning to refuse and give yourself and your body time and space is a good way to feel better. Most of the times people will understand, and if they don't, well, sadly sometimes we all live through disappointments. Also, maybe there's a part of you that doesn't care all that much and it's fun to show it from time to time.
They rely on you, you need to talk to them and say that they relied on you for too long and you need a break. Not all of them, some of them at least, or even better start with one. Sometimes just saying NO is all that is needed, even if it'll make you feel selfish and them angry. You'll feel better if you take a break from helping everyone.
Your specific problem is you haven't learnt to say "No". "The world cares about men but in my experience its just our bodies they need functional."- this could be said of women also so the whole men vs women thing is just extremely toxic and unnecessary. You can make a statement about your personal struggles without turning it into men vs women. Back to your problem, just because someone calls asking for something doesn't mean you have to do it. It's perfectly acceptable to say "no, I have too much going on". Don't be scared to say it, if they don't value you outside of what you can do for them then it's no loss anyways.

The thing is these so called influencers are feeding off of people's insecurities and the only way they learn is when damage is done.
I don't think the influencer should be using full responsibility. The parents, teachers, our neighbors should also share the blame since we drive them to these influencers.
@@Dave_of_Mordor couldn't have said it better myself.
You’re doing the exact same, he explained. “Judging these influencers”
The problem is many of these influences are giving out good advice but also give out bad or toxic advice. You pretty much just have to take the good nuggets and leave the bad
@@brianmeen2158 Yup; but that can be incredibly difficult to decipher when you have boys as young as 12 watching this content. Going through so much uncertainty and insecurity makes it easy to follow every word these influencers are saying. I really fear for them.
I arrived in a country where a lot of people are going to the bar, especially 30-40-50 years old men. I'm 24, 6 years i'm in this country. And i start to go to the bar when i had something to wait and slowly became a bit intimist with the barman who noticed my need to talk sometimes. It's cool, because it's my little peace spot, i enter, he know how to make my coffee, we burn a cig together while talking, and it's making my day better. Now i trully understand than, a lot of mens are probably struggling and theses bartenders are sometimes the only "cool" contact a men can have throughout the day
Some of the going out with my friends, smoking and drinking, have become sometimes, similar to like an AA meeting but with the good stuff, listening to struggles. Analysing and talking about society, sharing some hardship is good and at the end of the day, while clinking the glass.
Hey man can I give you a suggestion that changed my life. Change out the bar for joining a sport. Sport is a far superior way to socialize and get your stress out. Don't join something too serious/competitive, something that prioritizes the social aspect as much as the sport itself. I promise if you find the right one it'll change your life and is far better than going to the pub.
Studies have shown men need atleast 2 night outs a week with his friends to be happy and not be depressed.
"People who are raised with love and compassion and have connections don't go down this road." Dr. Kanojia is one of the most intelligent people I've found on youtube.
Where the attention goes is where the energy flows.
I'm pretty amazed how I stumbled upon this video, today.
I was actually viewing Dr. K's livestream from yesterday, and he mentioned this channel.
I've been working on a personal knowledgebase of things I hear about, lately, so I wrote down this channel's name in there and thought "I'll just look them up, later," as I do.
But today someone sent me a Tate Clip, literally saying "I completely agree with this" and I looked up "Dr. K Andrew Tate" for some advice on how to address the discussion...
And here I am! Looking at a video from that channel that I wrote down to look up, yesterday.
Didn't think I'd find your work that fast!
I am currently searching for support with a son who is being negatively influenced by Andrew Tate and similar influencers. This was really helpful. Thank you.
based son
PLEASE STOP trying to make your son a TRANS HOMOSEXUAL . Andrew is the way and the truth and the light. No one gets to MASCULINE GREATNESS except through him. 🏳⚧🏳🌈
And in the start of the video, Dr. K literally said that people like you are the problem, ”I need some magical being to help me because my son found a parental figure with stronger influence than me” rather than understanding why he is so influenced. I would talk about it in an open way, not getting mad. And this whole message is assuming you aren’t blowing it way out of proportion, which is usually the case, please expand on the ”bad influence” part.
Grow a pair of balls
Get him around good people with older guys who are more positive relaxed and having fun. If he's into Tate that's because there's something missing in his life, it's not because he's a bad kid. Get him into hockey, soccer, kickboxing whatever, it doesn't matter what. Make sure it's not just about the sport and its club that prioritizes friendship and socializing just as much. So many young people are not in a club to socialize and be mentored and then we wonder why they seek out that exact thing from the internet.
0:13 Dr. K is just SUCH a class act.
This guy is just insanely good. I am watching him for a while. I showed him to my hubby and his gamer friends, who are now watching him too. Cuz I feel like he can help them in many ways in which I kinda suck. Cuz I know I am one of the progressives who make those mistakes and cannot talk to guys for shit. Hopefully I will learn with them.
really respect that he also acknowledges the existence of things like the patriarchy while also showing how important of an issue this treatment of men's mental health is. people always disregard one in favor of the other
This was actually good, and adds some angles that I previously had not seen on the topic. Insightful
Dr K thinks about these issues in a very productive way.
He is also one of the more educated people in this space who also has first hand experience in helping people deal with these issues.
Im so confused why this is the only Community that still remain non-autism/sigma comment
I went straight down in every andrew tate community doesnt even relate on academic research
Just a loser babling
I really loved hearing this take. We as men should start by validating our own experiences and support each other.

Very well said! People in toxic environment don't need to be shamed and ostracized, they need mental health counseling. Therapy isn't something to be ashamed of, and I wish everybody could be helped by it the way it helped me
"they need mental health counseling"- by who? Most therapists are shit. Most therapy does not work. I am a fan of self work to be honest. Therapy in the West can be a really difficult thing. The therapists themselves come with a lot of biases and a lot of people who went into therapy did so because they themselves are messed up in the head to begin with.
@@Alnivol666 some people have bad experiences with their therapists, yes. I only hope everyone can get helped the way I was. How did self help work for you, if you don't mind me asking?
@@Alnivol666 i agree with nofun, some have bad experiences, but I completely disagree that "most therapists are shit". Way too much generalization when you are most certainly basing it off an anecdote or someone else's.
@@qwery486 I am basing it on the fact that it is not evident to me that people who go to therapy actually do get better. In some ways I am not even faulting the therapists for most of it. There is a large number of people who use therapists to validate their own worldviews and be told that they are not at fault for where they are. I believe that the main issue facing the Western world today has much more to do with an obvious lack of taking responsibility for one's actions. And therapists also play a part in this game since there are ideas that are popular that blame a lot of the actions people take as adults on stuff that happened in their childhood as if somehow this explanation would magically absolve said adults of taking responsibility. YOu did this bad shit...it is because your parents did this to you when you were 5. So now you know why and you are somewhat not really responsible. How could you have done otherwise?
We are not really engaging in deep philosophical discussions to be honest. Just playing the blame game at a more advanced level.
@@Alnivol666 I think you may have a fundamental misunderstanding of what therapy is supposed to do. Dr. K hit the nail on the head in this video. Introspection is key. Factors like childhood conditions have immense impact on how a person grows up to be, and it's important to acknowledge that, but in no world does it end there. The conclusion is not "hey we found who to blame!". The conclusion is teaching tools for proper introspection and ideally making peace with oneself and not giving in to extremes like redpill/black pill nonsense.
Thank you and your team for taking part in this societal conversation. I've been following following these subjects very closely. I've personally met many of these difficulties you bring out and for that I support your work wholeheartedly.

"Taken together, the research suggests that the ideal man (for a date or romantic partner) is one who is assertive, confident, easygoing, and sensitive, without being aggressive, demanding, dominant, quiet, shy, or submissive. In other words, a prestigious man, not a dominant man. In fact, it appears that the prestigious man who is high in both assertiveness and kindness is considered the most attractive to women for both short-term affairs and long-term relationships."
in other words, a well rounded person.
Yeah, you need to be dominant to not be submissive, there’s no middle ground. And women prefer that in a man, it certainly wasn’t the quality of the writing that made 50 Shades of Grey the number 1 selling romance novel of all time
do you have any scientific evidence to support these claims?@@spelcheak
@@spelcheak I think you've not really read that properly. Being assertive is good, being a prick is not.

shocker, being a well rounded person makes you likeable lmao
As a woman and someone with many female friends and relatives. I dont really know any of them that care about how much the man earns. We care that the man is nice, caring, and see us as equals. Someone who loves us for us and not just for our looks.
Sadly good men have had bad women and good women have had bad men.
Men have ruined my whole life and now I choose to be single. Sad because I know there are good men out there but sadly the bad men pretend to be good and suck you in before abusing you. I cant take tha risk again.
sorry you dealt with that, I dont blameyou for taking the route of being single
the men that you ruined your life were out of your league and the problem was that you pick guys that you find attractive and those guys are sought after by virtually every woman so he doesn't have to prove anything or treat you nice for you to stick around.
Since this is a small percentage of men (though you may not believe this bc most men are invisible to you) this really creates an imbalance because most of the guys you ignore are simply not physically attractive for you and most women hence the loneliness they face.
There are good men out there (80%) but you don't choose them based on looks and you come here preach that its because you have bad experiences with men but what you mean is the the top good looking tall ones.
Eehhh think you responded to the wrong comment. Because you dont know me at all and the way you are talking, its sounds like you are talking to someone you know?
Because everything you said is not me. I am actually attracted to geek types. I'm not attracted to the typical hot guy that visits the gym daily and stares at themselves in the mirror all day. Outwardly they look attractive but inwardly they aren't. I tend to go for the guys that like films, games, anime. Have a kind heart and compassionate to others. Sadly the guys I fall for although not as attractive outwardly, i find their kind nature and common interests attract me. Sadly narcissistic men know how to appear good and mirror you.
My friends and counsellor told me that I attract these type of men because they go for my looks and say everything I wanna hear. They even pretend to care about animals etc because that's one of the things that mean alot to me and even say they want to go veggie. Because they love them so much. This makes me more sucked in because it shows they are compassion. It's hard to tell who is real and who isnt. Also I was told that because I'm a people pleasure and have a very soft nature they are attracted to that too as I'm easy to control.
So dont go saying I only go for attractive guys cause it ain't true. For me its kindness, and a good sense of humour. Some common interests. Think reason I'm attracted to geek types is because although I dont look it, I am a geek type and relate better. I like quirkiness.
Please dont go judging all women the same.
Otherwise I could say the same about men. I get so many men after me for my looks. Not for who I am. It's hard to find a decent guy that likes me for me and not a pretty thing to carry around and f**k.
I class myself as an incel now because I'm staying single and not having s3x.
Men are too difficult to read and too scary when they think your theirs and controlling traits come out. Plus they get paranoid you cheat. I've had so many hot guys after me whilst single and not one I slept with. I'm not like that and have more self respect. If by some miracle I find a decent guy who is genuine and I do trust, which i doubt i could again. Then I would have s3x again. But I'm not being used as a s3x toy. Theres more to women than just our bodies.
@@RobertDniroLHCAre you saying it's a bad thing to pick an attractive partner? Would you really say the same to a man, to not pick an attractive woman as a partner? Would you blame him if said woman turned out to be abusive?
@@Hello-hello-hello456 That guy made a common argument: that women ought to give the 80% of men a chance, that are not part of the most attractive and successfull few. And he is not wrong. Only these 80% do get a chance: with women who are not part of the most attractive themselves. 😅 Which seems not to be enough to these men. 😉 Statistically, online dating scewed expectations of who is interested in us (taken from a sociological study): very attractive men give everyone some attention (just to sleep with them) and women translate this as "I have a realistic chance with the most attractive men!". Which is incorrect. They never had a realistic chance, only a chance of being used for a bit of attention. This happens so often it now has a statistically relevant effect in real life. 😅 And women thus expect these men to be interested in them in real life too. Which they aren't. And the 80% of normal guys have really dissapointing experiences online.
The common counter-argument is: online dating is not effective for you, so go and be a kind, fun, exciting person elsewhere. Unfortunately, the frustration from that online process turns a lot of people into bitter assholes who try to belittle others online. Hence his really aggressive and insulting comment. 😅
The problem isn't the message, it's why those influencers use it. They don't care about any loser living a crappy life, they care about the money and support those losers give them. People like Andrew Tate are basically cult leaders, kind of modern versions of Jim Jones.
and hamza
The message is the problem for the critics. Anyone attacking them for taking money is just a hypocrite. Dr K is taking money yet he is a good guy. Even Biden takes a cut, quote "for the big guy". Btw this mentality of "uh earning money is bad" is part of the mainstream bundle of beliefs that are being rejected by the red pill and other intellectual movements.
No, andrew tate is an actual individuum that has a own opinion.
@@soacker25 So was Charles Manson.
The problem is calling the systematically oppressed “losers” for being systematically oppressed.
I am a man and I will hug people when I want to as long as it’s appropriate and not out of context, but I definitely hug people when I can. What leads to that ability is when you can remove your own fears and actually make an effort to be social even if it’s not in your comfort zone. The biggest problem we have is men not being comfortable with being uncomfortable. We must create positive habits and do things repeatedly. Whatever we have done this past week is more likely what we are going to do in the next two. It’s like not wanting to go to the gym but then realizing how beneficial it was after a week of going
The problem is that a lot of men find themselves in situations where there is not an appropriate context to hug anyone for years of our lifes. The reason for this is partly because of myths like patriarchy that Dr. K is erroneously spreading.
Nobody cares about your hugs. Men want viable paths to get a family and normal life.
@@treeforged9097Maybe get a massage once in a while (not necessarily with a happy ending) to get non sexual touch. It might not be ideal, but you're waiting for years for that ideal.
@@treeforged9097 I've never understood how they would attribute things like not showing emotions to the patriarchy when it's women creating those situations. I have never in my life heard a guy said he broke down crying in front of his close male friends and had them leave him because of it but the amount of men I personally know who have been abandoned by their wife/gf after crying or breaking down in front of her is more than I can even recall. You see this mentioned over and over and over again online, men refuse to open up because of the impact on the relationships with women NOT OTHER MEN.
It's very clearly driven by instinct and to ascribe it to patriarchy is mental laziness and intentional ignorance even on Dr.Ks part.
HUGS ARE A NET POSITIVE!
Wonderful Doctor! I used to work in a helpline and one caller upset everyone else ... I was the only person to express sorrow for him that he needed to say the worst things he could think of and upset everyone else. He could not handle that ... I was immune to being upset because I wanted to understand him.
I will be forever grateful to Dr. K and continue his legacy in making the world a better place as much as my own strength allows me to.
they're not "embracing" these men, they're taking advantage of'm
Yeah that's the problem with "toxic" inspiration, yeah? It's back to manipulation. It's bad when the goal is not to help them but just say what they want to hear to make them pay those people more.
See, you are so sure in your notion but have you had a civil conversation with a friend who believes this stuff and tried seeing their viewpoint and why this helped them? You watched this video and are doing exactly what you shouldn't be doing, based on my very much flawed judgement.
@@letsreadtextbook1687did you speak to these people who watch them and ask them if they benefited from it and then are saying this or are you assuming this to be the case based on your own anecdotes?
If so then you are doing exactly what doctor k is saying you shouldn't do, LISTEN to these people and see their pov and then make a judgement based on this knowledge.
I don't make friends with these people, never have.
@@theJACK__ see? You haven't made friends or even tried understanding them(correct me if I'm wrong)
You won't know if they actually benefited from this or if they were just being taken advantage of until you understand the reasoning but how can you do that without talking to them?
You can say that they are just being taken advantage of and you could be correct but without your own understanding of it and experience with it, what you are left with is a judgement you have already made on what is happening to these men and this was talked about in the video.
Don't make judgements first, talk to them, understand the problem, see if you can understand the logical reasoning behind why it happens and THEN you come to a judgement.
I love that Dr. K highlights that the are real issues for today's men while criticizing the toxic masculine crowd. It's been hard for me to make those coexist because it's the "Shut up" voice on one side and toxic masculinity on the other. One makes you feel unseen, minimized, and like no cares. The other seems to encourage that, but you know it's not right and feel guilty agreeing with them on anything. It's very validating to hear "Yes there is a problem, no that's not the answer."
This is the best articulation of the matter I have seen!
I think there's a massive culture difference in the idea of responsibility to others. People have wildly different philosophies on this, and I think I can sadly say I don't feel much responsibility for vast majority of people around me and in my community, because it's not reciprocated. America is very individualist, or at least that's the picture I feel like I'm painted in with everybody else around me every day. I think there are so many other countries that have more care for each other, and I legitimately think it would make the world a better place.
I turn 30 this month and my ultimate issue in my adult life has been literally just trying to find another male friend. I find it infinitely easier to get dates than I do genuine male companionship.
My current girlfriend was my best friend for several years before we started dating. She was literally the only person I could get to hang out with me outside of work, despite my best efforts.
I've met so many guys who I've made laugh, supported, shared interests with, and even attained their phone numbers, but whenever it came to them actually coming out to meet me they'd always find some convenient excuse not to despite planning several weeks in advance, never having a negative experience with me and us knowing each other for several years.
I'm at the point where I'm genuinely considering learning hypnosis just to get a bro.
Edit: Never mind I made a friend and made friends with his friends and recently went to a convention with them.
Life is good.
That sounds very lonely and I am sorry that's been your experience.
@@SalayaSkystone thank you for your compassion
your framing of all that sounds very gay. maybe you are just gay.
@@johnwayne4911 I feel it’s entirely normal to desire a friendship with someone belonging to your own gender, actually.
It’s unfortunate you feel otherwise.
@@JoeKing69 yea but the fact you are framing it as though anyone owes you anything because 'ur funny' sounds gay as shit. who the fuck says "i attained another man's phone number"
He has definitely touched on a very specific dimension of the attraction of people such as Andrew Tate.
But another dimension is also the picture/idea that these people project of "power and influence", of having "life sorted out" -- when in truth they are some of the most lost, with deeeeep issues that they try to hide (especially from themselves) with the picture they project, the money, the women, the cars - etc - which easily deceives gullible young man that have no idea what a true role model is.
So, it is not only kids/young men feeling like they are understood -- it also plays on their desire of "women, money, fame, power" that is the image they project.
Dr. K is amazing. We need more men who women will hear to speak about this stuff. It isnt going away.
I have a serious question, what am I meant to do when his reply is that “because Andrew Tate understands that all women are thots” or something like that? I am willing to bet my left tit no Andrew Tate fan is going to say “I am affected by loneliness and inadequacy and that’s why I gravitate toward trp”.
Women have nothing to do with that?! Women aren't responsibility to fulfil men's emotional or sexual needs.
How to fix it. Always no matter what?
Create a better alternative.
And there is always a better alternative out there and for the small possibility that there isn't one create it yourself.
coincidentally, i was happiest as a child when it was someone's (my parents) responsibility to take care of me. Now i am a grown man and it is no one's responsibility to care for me. I can't and don't expect anyone to hug me and i don't ever get hugs. life has only gotten worse for me
If it's of any solace, I would totally hug you if possible, it sounds like you need one
We men need to get better at reaching out to each other, both when it comes to checking in on the people that matter to us, and also when it comes to reaching out for a hand when we struggle
Bottling things up inside is not a good strategy, the pressure will only build and build and build until it explodes
Now you're responsible for yourself, something that is scary or freeing depending on your condition and point of view.
It has its ups and downs, but as long as we keep being true to ourselves, we'll be fine.
Always be the first to give. Forget about pride and those little things, just be the first always, reach out for that hug if you want to. That other person might be just thinking the same thing, and now they'll feel glad that it was you.
I think one is also responsible to be happy, not only to be a grown up. What I want to say is whenever things are not life and death, or living without a roof over your head, one way forward is to have a bit of fun. I assume you are a tough person, probably quite dependable.
Damn Dr k really laid it down in a great way, love it
This was a very interesting perspective. Thank you.
I actually went and hugged my brother cuz of this lol.
OMG, it's been so eye opening!!!! Thank you both!
Alok is officially the best internet personality ever.
We always say "Talk things out" - last year I discovered how much more powerful a hug can be. If the person wants to get comfort. "I'd like to hug you, is that okay?" And just do it. No talking, just a simple gesture.
Yes, we need "individual responsibility" for people to start caring about anyone other than themselves. If only we could invent some kind of word to describe individuals working with other individuals...
It is interesting how men's problems are no one's problems but the individual's himself, yet women's problems need to be tackled down by the entire society
@@rkk578 Men have been just as instrumental in these problems as woman have been, if not more. Rugged individualism, i.e. Bootstraps mentality has gone off the rails and has resulted in men attacking each other, humiliating each other, and isolating each other. It has to end.
Society don't do sh!t because we forget we're PART of society. Every solution or problem starts with at least ONE person, and it's only when enough individuals come together that "society" plays a part, but change, regarding ANY sort of issue, starts with you and me right now.
So true.
That is true. Everyone is always saying "society needs to fix this" but never do anything themselves because they see society as some entity of its own that they don't have responsibility for when in reality it is everyone's responsibility. It's easy to say stuff like "I wouldn't make a difference unless society as a whole changes" but if you aren't even trying to help you are as responsible as everyone else
Well said, Dr. K. I am a woman therapist, and I can see how quickly judgments are made, one side against the other. Individuals are traumatized and also not educated about relationships. We need to TREAT PEOPLE AS PEOPLE FIRST, before judging by sex or gender. And we especially need to educate about relationships through our schools. Also Canada's mode of healthcare includes a team of doctor, nurse, and mental health social worker for every family practice. This discovers issues earlier and it avoids the stigma in America of special separate appointments for mental health problems.
Canadian here. It would be nice if our healthcare were as you describe, and the country does aspire to it, but the model of doctor, nurse and mental health social worker is not common. It might be available in some places within some regions, but definitely it is not yet the norm. It is a goal that we have yet to achieve on a wide basis.
I tried to understand toxic people in my personal life and suffered severely as a result. Some people are not worth saving if they're so confused that they become the cause of other peoples suffering. The "open arms" approach can work, but if there's only toxicity and bullying coming back in return, the only option is to turn away to protect oneself. I'm a determinist/non-compatibalist so I do believe that everyone has their reasons and had their environment causing them to be who they are, but that doesn't negate the consequences of their actions, even if they aren't ultimately responsible. There's a price to listening as well and sometimes it's not worth paying.
we need to take a similar approach to politics. the notion of "you're giving them a platform", them being a bad person or on the "other" side, is ridiculous. when the talking stops the real problems begin, and you're seeing it manifest more and more in politics.
3:00 Thanks for giving this example with periods. That's gold!
What a fantastic answer. I am amazed that he is so clear and precise about this.
Excellent decomposition by Dr K!
wow when the doctor was asked about seeing some heartbreaking things and he answered "yeah" that was dark i reaally felt the dark realities
So many people get into destructive cycles because their loved ones fail to ask "what is your life like? what is drawing you to this?"
I can't help but notice how his hands move as he talks. So desi! I LOVE it!
He is not only logical but also sympathetic.i really love this man .
I wanna add that kids don't always know why they do bad things (and much later as adults, they know even less, bc the source of trauma lies so far back they might not even remember), so even if you ask the kid who smeared feces at the walls "why", he might just say "i dunno". I'm speaking from my own experience (a way less disgusting prank, but) my mum actually asked me why. I said "dunno" and started to cry, possibly because I realized she was disappointed in me (i today think I just wanted attention as I had been neglected) while all I wanted was to be seen.
These two man in the video should hug each other.
They don't need hugs, there rich and successful and have women that love them. Its the men who don't have any of those things who are suffering and its those guys that nobody listens to.
Fits them quite well
@@treeforged9097 everyone deserved to be hugged :)
@@treeforged9097 "Nobody" is listening to? Really? So Jordan Petersen, Dr K, Andrew Tate amongst others, they're listening right?
@@treeforged9097 it's about setting the example.
So much respect for his first response to the question.
The man speaks the truth 💯
Women: Ugh these impossible beauty standards!
Men: Ugh these impossible resource standards!
The problem is that women set the beauty standards and the resource standards. The beauty standards for men is basically, do you have breasts? If you do then your beautiful to me. if men were in control of beauty standards there would be no cosmetic surgery or high heals and make up. The problem is the high standards that women set for everyone including themselves and the fact that we are not allowed to talk about that reality.
The difference is, men are based. It's impossible that everyone is a high earner, it just becomes a new average. Meanwhile most men rate most women to be physically attractive. Women's physical standards are more unrealistic than men's. Most men are happy with the average woman, the average woman is not happy with the average man.
@@joschmo4497 Correct, I see men overrating 5/10 beckies all the time, as a woman just being nice and not obese will get you attraction from loads of men, but said woman believes she deserves better than the men attracted to her, but Chadlite/Chad won't always commit to her, so when they get pump and dumped, they become insufferable since 90% of men are invisible to them and the 10% left won't commit to them (therefore they are bad people) so it's a self fulfilling prophecy where those standards ruin things for both genders. In reality, women feel pressure to be gigastacies because their goal is chad, but they simultaneously think it's unfair that they have to give exceptional attributes to get him even though she is literally expecting chad for being chad lol.
@@joschmo4497 There's a study saying that men were consistent with what they found physically attractive in women, while women disagreed much more. Wouldn't this (women showing more "flexibility" in what they consider attractive) prove that beauty standards for men are looser, while men's expectations were more specific, e.i. harder to obtain?
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19469598/
@@joschmo4497 This is so facts. The standards women have for men are FAR higher than vice versa. Its just that women have long and complex beauty processes and men do not... But at the same time some of these women should feel blessed they can boost their looks artificially while men cant wear makeup, cant change their height, their dick size, their baldness or their beard hair. (At least not without surgery)
Very impressive. I started listening thinking this would be bs supporting toxic masculinity.
This guy opened (at least a bit) my mind. Very smart. The "jail" example was very relevant.
I understand now that I was judgemental. And that I'm not familiar with such problems as I come from a loving family, as you mentioned.
Thank you for making me grow a bit ❤
Wow never heard it this way before… good stuff
As a devoted fan of this new movement I must say that for me all of these people are the masculine father figure I never had when I grew up.
I have a father, but he wasn't someone who guided me into adulthood, and these influencers; Tate Brothers, Hamza, Iman Gadzhi and many more are acting like that something I was missing.
I don't care about having many women, millions upon millions or an empire, but I want to be able to have complete and utter freedom, to some extent that starts with money.
Have the ability to retire and take care of my family is my main purpose.
The thing i realized about them and in comparison what the opposition does not do, is that they provide answers. Clear answers. Do this, think like this, and your life will improve. And to some extent, they are right. Focus on your career, go to the gym, avoid people that bring too much drama and conflict. Usually if you follow these guidelines your life willimprove, because going to the gym will improve your physical and mental health, focusing on your career will most likely end up with you earning more money and avoiding people that bring conflict to your life will have you living peacefully. But if you ask the opposition "what should men do" they answer with "just don't suck and don't R*** women", and that means nothing because for most men they are already doing that and they feel their life suck.
@@PsychoMachadono the other side doesn’t say “don’t suck and don’t ***e women” they literally say go to the gym focus on your career go to therapy seek help seek advice. You are part of the problem in thinking one side is out to destroy you when no one is doing. Ohh wait you heard it on twitter or X whatever it is now. The internet ISNT REAL LIFE. I went thru this red pill phase and all it did was destroy my relationships with friends and family bc I believed everyone who didn’t believe like me was out to put me down or destroy me. They weren’t they were trying to get me back on track. Money muscles all that fancy shit won’t get you love it will get you pussy, but love and sex are two different things. Majority of women aren’t online 24/7 so they don’t even care about the majority of things bitch about online! All the red pill groups are nothing more than a bunch of boys playing victim with each other. There are now more ways to get help for anyone than there was when I was a kid and yet the majority of the new generation are still struggling by avoiding the help! The one thing I will agree on with Tate is this and i majority of even leftist people agree fix yourself and learn to love yourself where we disagree on is blaming a whole other gender for not seeking help.
@@PsychoMachadoyes but they’re not exactly telling you something that you can’t come up with in your own. Working harder bears better fruits? Revolutionary. Going to gym is good for your health? Who would’ve guessed. Cutting people who will drag you down out of your life? Thought-provoking. Then they’ll charge you for a course where they will tell you the exact same thing. Absolutely, separate the advice from the advisor by all means, but things people like Tate say can barely be given the mantle of ‘advice.’ People like Tate aren’t there to help men, they see a gap in the market, and they took it. And they made money off of it. He’s not your guru, he’s an entertainer, and he’s being paid to entertain. It’s like that ever-evolving adage,
Something like “you need an influencer to tell you that common sense is sensible to believe it, then I got some crypto to sell you - promise its value will explode.”
Tate-esc individuals do exactly this, package common sense like a valuable, top-secret life-lesson. You’re not buying his advice, because that advice is innate common sense. What you’re buying is the packaging. You’re buying the bells and whistles attached to that advice.
@@Silkie_Dragon I agree that the 'advice' is something you can guess on your own.
But compare both sides i mentioned. One side gives common sense advice that improves your life. The other side shouts common sense advice that implies men are terrible human beings that need to be told not to be horrible, and the advice does not improve their lives, it is just an insult.
I'm not arguing whether it is legit or worthwhile to listen to someone as Andrew Tate or if he is a guru helping men. My point is that whether he's full of shit or not, he is saying some things that are in fact helpful.
And if people giving common sense advice was worthless, we wouldn't have therapists telling people to take care of themselves, not overwork themselves and how to recognize abusive relationships. People that are not in a good place mentally and emotionally will seek someone to guide them or someone to look up to.
The problem is placing people in categories. Women aren’t a monolith, neither are men. Both men and women do this to the extent that they’re wrong.
So far, everything I’ve heard from Dr. K just makes so much damn sense. I love this perspective, not only because it’s compassionate, but also because it’s just so reasonable. There’s too much black and white thinking out there and he is just constantly speaking with such interesting perspectives from the grey. Love, love, love him.
Dr.K is an absolute beast ❤
It's important to note that "toxic masculinity" has become a very broad umbrella term that's being thrown around to label men who aren't actually toxic. Just being muscular, owning luxurious cars and having casual relationships with women doesn't constitute "toxic masculinity", but this is exactly how it is being portrayed. "Toxic masculinity" is being pushed without the nuance that it needs. It's essentially an overcorrection to the detriment of society.
Those traits may not mean one has toxic masculinity, but Andrew Tate for sure does lmao
@@whit9172 Bullshit. There is no such thing as "toxic masculinity". Saying that insinuates that there is an inherent aspect of being male that is toxic. Complete BULLSHIT.
I take issue with the term itself. Masculinity isn’t toxic. Femininity isn’t toxic. Toxic behavior is just that, doesn’t need to be gendered.
@@armonkaviani7808 Agreed. Tying the two words together implies there's an aspect of *masculinity* that is toxic. That is simply BS.
@@armonkaviani7808 Toxic masculinity isn't that masculinity is toxic its a version that us as a society consider masculine that is toxic. Stuff like dudes aren't allowed to cry stuff for example.
The innate problem is the idea that you can't be sad/suffering because others have it worse. It's why it hurts people with depression so much when both others, and themselves say "what have you got to be sad about?". But pain and sadness are always relative.
suggesting that men should "man up" does not help those who are struggling. In fact, using phrases like "man up" "figure it out" "pull urself by the bootstraps" can further exacerbate feelings of shame, isolation, and inadequacy for men who are already facing mental health challenges. It can perpetuate harmful stereotypes around masculinity that discourage men from seeking the support they need. Encouraging open and non-judgmental conversations about mental health, validating men's emotions, and connecting them to appropriate resources for help can be much more beneficial in supporting their well-being. It's important to approach mental health with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to listen rather than relying on reductive and dismissive phrases like "man up."
No one cares about men and they frame everything as toxic masculinity like this shill.
💯
I have never heard anyone use the phrase man up. It sounds like something someone made up to ignore mens real problems. One thing I have heard when talking about my problems is that men are privileged. If you change the word "man up" with the word privileged in your statement then I would agree with it.
@@treeforged9097 toughen up, don't be soft, don't be scared, be strong, don't be a p**y,, don't be a simp
@@treeforged9097 Agreed.
I try to sympathize with guys, I really listen to them however, the incels online I honestly cant stand because they just degrade women and its hard to have a conversation with a man who thinks you are shallow just for being a women. I tell them what my dating preferences are and they basically accuse me of lying and I can't deal with that.
For you to listen to incels or any other category of "person who shows disrespectful behaviour", you have to accept hearing bad stuff. An incel that is not going to degrade women and will respect your dating preferences, is probably not an "incel by definition" (sure, incel means involuntary celibate, but the word is used for the hateful ones, not the ones who are actually trying to improve, it's an identity issue).
But as a "kind of involuntary celibate" i guess (i would never call myself that word), it's not that hard after you accept it that you are AND that you can hopefully change it. However, until you accept it/accept that you can change, it feels like you're in a war zone where the enemy AND your team is shooting at you, nobody is there to support you, and that's why many k*ll themselves (so that's why they may show aggressive behaviour towards you, it's a defensive mechanism)
Prove it through your actions. They speak louder than words
I’m a female and I always emotionally support the males in my life. I hug them when they cry. I validate their feelings. One of them took advantage of my empathy to manipulate me. Another told me I literally saved his life. So guess what, I’ll always support men’s emotional health.
But it will always be men who would point fingers at me for raising my son to be a “soft man”. We need to fix this as a society. Women aren’t objects and men aren’t rocks.
@@Amazinglilflowers A fellow "soft man" here, being soft isn't easy when you're around other dudes because of those old stereotypes that we all know and hate but encouraging your son to be who he really is besides all of this stereotypical thinking, is really really appreciated and I'm glad to see that people like you exist.
@ thank you for your kind words and thank you for remaining true to yourself. I know how difficult it is for men these days. I hope you have a partner who values you as people like yourself are also very rare. Most men are just trying to fit in. A woman who craves disrespect needs therapy. She can’t emotionally connect with her partner so she needs to be controlled because her authentic self would never consider anybody else other than herself. And yes she will not stay with a healthy man because she desires the chaos her childhood was marked by. That does not mean that all men should want to cater to that type of woman! This is insane. If anything, men should want to attract women who love themselves enough to heal themselves so that they could be good partners and mothers.
A whole generation of men have been neglected, yet we act surprised why they act the way they do
Exactly, we forget that they need to be helped not hated. Something that helped myself and my best friend who went through a period of being an incel(both of us) was joining sports clubs that prioritized the social aspect as much as the sport itself. Way too many people over the age of 15 in particular have no hobbies and very minimal socializing and we wonder why they're mentally sick. clubs/sports/socializing won't fix everything but not having that in your life will cause a lot of damage.
Careful, you'll get dragged for saying that because "Men have all the prestige and power in society"
he hits it on the head by the end of the video. when you are incel or just lonely guy, this is not something you can fix by yourself. you can reach out to other people again and again but how they respond to you is not in your control. someone else has to give you the acceptance, the time of day, the hug. if you dont get the acceptance, not only it sucks, but on top of that you are labeled loser, toxic, incel, whatever the word.. when you are denied acceptance over and over again, what do you do? of course you end up with men that are suicidal, and the general population is laughing at them, mocking them, bullying them as if thats the right thing to do. is it ? adrew tate is the guy who is standing up for this marginalized group. dont treat unfortunate men like sh*t, and they wont need andrew tate. listening to andrew tate is still better than picking up gun and going for a rampage. many unfortunate men took this route and its tragic.
that's still kind of a victim mentality, like lifes so hard on me and i need to reach out to someone so my life is fixed, that's not going to work, religion used to fix these problems back in the day, now that it's gone in the west, men feel completely on their own with their own warped devices that lead them to dark paths
If you’re an incel it’s your own selfish fault. Don’t make excuses to be a shitty woman hating misogynist who feels entitled to women. This is the real issue, men feel entitled to having their needs filled by other people and want to be babied instead of looking outside of themselves and holding themselves accountable.
I really enjoy the way they talk to each other. Its very polite and well thought out yet also clear, easy to understand and efficient.
The biggest problem I've seen is that people have a very NIMBY-like mindset when it comes to other people's struggles. Everyone wants their friends and families to have good mental health, but nobody wants to be the one to put effort out into the world to make sure that happens. As a society, we've defaulted to telling people 'Have you tried seeing a therapist'? Let me tell you what that translates to in the mind of someone who's despairing: "Shut up, go away, make this somebody elses problem, I'm just here for as long as the good times last'
It's a trend that stretches to a lot of problems. Everyone wants the problems to go away, nobody wants to be the one to put in the work to make them go away. And of course I'm guilty of that too, and so are you reading this, we all do it to some extent or another, we shy away from problems and hope they just resolve themselves.
I think we're poorly adapted to this wider globalist society, things are too big, there's too many people, it's easy to shirk responsibility for things. It's the bystander effect on a global scale.
You are right. It seems like we also value our personal comfort a little bit too much (guilty of that myself at times). It’s easy to slap labels on everything and everyone without trying to see a real person and their struggles and needs + to not devalue their hardships if they are smaller that our own or someone else’s. Cause this only makes the loneliness and alienation grow stronger. Also if some of us had a lucky chance to heal themselves through therapy why not at least try to help those who either can’t afford it or were born long before the popularization of psychology (our parents, for instance), of course it will work only if they are open to help themselves too. But just blaming without trying to help or wear someone else’s shoes is pointless and hurts. The same is going on in the society where men and women (or e.g. any social groups who have opposing views on smth) are nitpicking the reasons to despise each other instead of trying to find a strong ground for respect and mutual help, trying to truly understand the differences, the similarities and the way it works together. It’s easier to think black/white than to try to accept each other
And especially I liked your point on the bystander effect in a globalist society where the problems are someone else’s not mine. With ongoing wars, economical and ecological problems and all the stuff, it’s easier to dive into the fairy world of the entertaining content than to try to educate oneself on what’s happening and what can I do to make it at least 0,001% better. Hope I am making at least some sense and thank you very much for sharing your thoughts
Part of the problem is that the structure of society no longer enforces the superiority of men like it once did and this has prompted an identity crisis. In the past if you were a man, even if you weren't doing well you at least knew you were higher up the ladder than women, gays, ethnic minorities etc. Those structures have been weakened and men are floundering. Other than forcibly putting women and minorities 'back in their place,' the only other option is to change what it means to be a man, something many men seem highly resistant to. It's a deeper problem that the rest of us just being compassionate isn't going to fix (though it certainly won't hurt.) Men also have to be willing to take on the burden of introspection and not just double down.
WTF is wrong with you? "Superiority of men"? You are part of the problem too.
dr. k, without exception, always manages to have a completely unexpected viewpoint on things and it always makes so much sense
And this is how Donald Trump got his rise in popularity: by actually acknowledging that people's lives were hard. He's a lying grifter, but he knows how to figure out what people want to hear.
All Machiavellian leaders are like that my friend. Been that way at least since the Renaissance
Hmm, this was quite intriguing to watch. I had an unexpected reaction initially. I felt the urge to disengage from the rest of the video entirely, but I forced myself to listen attentively. Eventually, I realized that I cannot align with their requests, and perhaps that's a shortcoming on my part. I struggle to summon compassion for individuals like Andrew Tate. When someone's response to vulnerability is to actively harm others, I find it difficult to disregard such behavior. Sure, if a kid does it, I can understand since they're still learning, but these guys are adults, and their actions speak volumes about their character. I prefer not to associate with such individuals.
I think perhaps I cannot empathize this way because I simply cannot understand the desire to extensively hurt someone else when you're hurt. Sure, lashing out happens, but these guys are on an extensive campaign to demean women. I have more empathy for newer members or those who express frustration, but continuously diving deeper into hate doesn't click for me. Haven't they encountered a line they think should not be crossed? Where is that line for them, and how haven't they reached it by now?
It's disheartening to hear the recurring narrative that either blames feminism or expects others to do the work for individuals like these. Where is the accountability in this equation? They can't possibly be truly happy when they act this way, so why not embark on a journey of self-reflection or pursue personal growth through avenues such as education, yoga, meditation, or therapy?
Why should I prioritize their pain when they exhibit a blatant disregard for the suffering they inflict upon others? A bully should not be granted leniency for persisting in their bullying behavior. If a man's reaction to women or minority folks, who, let's face it, are just living their lives, is to make things worse and perpetuate abuse, why should we bother being compassionate or hanging out with them?
