The male identity crisis: why modern men are NOT okay
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- In this video, I dive deep into why 80% of suicides are carried out by men and why so many feel lost, stuck, and disconnected. Sharing the story of my Uncle Bob, I explore the "demon" that haunts many men today - trauma, unprocessed pain, and the silence we’ve been conditioned to maintain.
We’ll break down the conflict between the "old masculine" and the "feminized masculine," discussing how these forces can create suffering and self-destruction. More importantly, I’ll introduce you to a philosophy I've developed called "The Way of the Courageous Man," a path that can help you break free from these struggles and start living a life of purpose, strength, and fulfilment.

In October I'm launching the Courageous Man Community...
- weekly live calls with other like-minded men.
- monthly workshops on relationships, inner work, personal growth.
- a new 30-day challenge every month (reading, meditation, exercise).
- full access to all courses that get released (currently: healing the father wound, overcoming social anxiety … soon = a course on being a great lover by men’s sexuality coach Andrew Mioch).
- a space to fully be yourself and develop as a man.

The community opens its doors on the 14th of October.
See you in there.

Women are going through the same thing, but instead of looking in the mirror we find validation from useless tiktok 304's telling us what we want to hear.
This is the worst part. I thought I was going to be able to find a woman who was my partner and best friend - and within that statement I had implicit ideas about a shared experience and view of the world. However I spent an a lot of my time self reflecting, being isolated and lonely. My struggle gave me a much more intense and thoughtful approach to the world - I thought we could share in the struggle. It turns out this is mostly a fantasy, atleast for guys who looked like me.
I heard someone say something recently that was along the lines of “women don’t want to win the race with you, they want to be at the finish line when you get there.” This put into words perfectly the feelings I had. I knew I couldn’t be “rescued” or “fixed” but I felt I needed support and no one, absolutely no one, delineated the two.
To be clear, Women who are actually funny and capable of realizing they are wrong are just wifed immediately.
So most of the women who rate low to me, simply have a poor ability to understand others perspective and their pain. This incompatibility makes dating in my respective level really difficult.
The good ones are too far outside my league (atleast currently). I know what I am so I’m not angry - but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t bitter. Not because I think anyone owes me anything, but a childlike part of me throbs in pain when I remember that the idea of romance like that shattered my little heart, that I’m only worthy of love once I’ve accomplished something of value, not because of some inherent trait that made me just THAT cool.
I suppose In the end It makes me stronger, but if none of the women are compatible then whose it even for anymore
Anyway done rambling my b
Oliver, the background music is a great touch! Love that!
Good stuff mate. I sat through the whole 16 minutes and enjoyed the story telling (ofc) and the points you made are good. Seems to me you know what you're talking about.
Btw your new initials are ORC (true strength)
Thankyou, brother.
I have two middle names. Robert Lucas. I'm thinking of changing my RUclips name to something like Oliver Robert or Oliver Robert Lucas.
Cowlishaw is confusing for a lot of people.
@@OliverCowlishaw Oliver Robert Lucas. That’s the most royal name I’ve heard, and it’s beautiful!
@@edineauthentic And it's easier to remember, don't you think? Screw it. I might change it.
@@OliverCowlishaw yes let’s do it!!
💯
Oliver, this channel is the best that has happened to me for at least half a year. Thank you!
Great to hear, mate.
All true. Weather it’s a demon or spells 😢Nobody really pays attention. Today’s society is ran on money and social status. We run to drugs to escape deep down most the men who are lonely 😞 just want to die. Seeing our old friends have successful lives having a family and just doing what they want.
