you're very lucky! i'm 28, and would be better off today if i had this advice at your age. here are some other tips that will make you effective as a man: 1. always honor your word 2. hold yourself accountable for what is in your control (take responsibilty for your actions, control your emotions, such as directing your aggression constructively, improve yourself daily (especially when it comes to building your financial acumen), etc.) 3. be honest with yourself; you have to know your fears and limitations to conquer them 4. life has its ups and downs, so take life as it comes 5. practice self-defense 6. present yourself properly (good manners, acceptable physical appearance, showing gratitude to people who are good to you by also being there for them, etc.) 7. learn how to communicate as effectively as you can 8. help others as much as you like, but don't be afraid to confront them if they try to take advantage of you, and don't overextend yourself. 9. be ambitious in your own way. move forward and improve yourself at a pace that is good for you, but never shy away from competition. men are built to compete! 10. love yourself!!! yes, you should try to be the best version of yourself, but don't compare yourself with others. this also includes enjoying when you do manly things (building something from scratch, fixing something, (___)ing a woman damn good, even something as boorish as belching louder than your friend or male relative, etc.)

[@robpolaris7272]

I grew up without my father even sending a birthday card my entire childhood. I grew up with a single Mom who was affectionate but abused alcohol and drugs. I married a single mother and raised her 4 year old daughter. I had 14 misrable years of marriage but stayed to care for "our" daughter. I adopted her at 5. I took her skiing, camping, surfing, kayaking, to Girl Scouts, church, Father/Daughter dances, taught her to ride a bike, rollerblade, change a car tire, how to tie her shoes, cook, ju jitsu, hook up speakers, use tools, do math, U.S. History, Psychology, Philosophy, Theology and a thousand other things. She was loved and treated as my daughter. Once we got divorced after my ex cheated on me, the daughter I raised for 18 years never spoke to me again. I was not invited to her college grad (which I paid half)or her wedding. To this day I would help her if she called me because I love her as my daughter. But I do resent the way she has treated me. I wish I had known at 26 I was nothing more than a rental/bank/nanny. If I had a son I would tell him to NEVER marry a single mother starting out. No matter how well she treats you before you marry, you will NEVER be her first priorty. At least when you have kids together with someone their first priority will be your kids! To a single mother you will ALWAYS be expendable. If you are a single man with no kids, find a single woman. Not divorced, not a single mom, not a woman with kids that live with the father. You will end up regretting it.

It seems to me the money issue is related to the English speaking countries. It's all money related, marriages kept together by money, not by the pleasure of being married. To be honoust I don't see this a lot in the Netherlands, ok, people get divorced, but they mostly live on walking distance from eachother so that the children can walk to the other parent. My father was a kind of super alpha, and that was not a very pleasant situation, causing my mom raising me to be careful, turning me in a sort of beta. My sister tells me I was an alpha male when young. So if you're an alpha man, do raise your children the way you think is right, and I see this happening at home. I get angry at my son's, my wife says: you shouldn't do that, just talk it over... Do not defend them, let them defend themselves! And it appears I was right. They listen. I'm with the same girl () for 35 years now, and I see things on the 'market' have changed. I hope my boys can differentiate between a woman like their mother - who has a higher education than me, works 48 hours a week, does >75% of the household and cooks every evening, spends almost no money, runs twice a week and hasn't gained any weight in all those years, doesn't complain if I'm lying under a car the whole weekend and knows a man's needs- and the trash walking around.

They do and will cheat on you. Repeatedly. Without remorse. And when discovered, theyll think of a reason why they did it which will involve either an ex or you being the cause. They will coerce you and manipulate you with regards to money. She will gladly spend your money and receive it from you, but will be reluctant to spend her money back in your direction.

Where he fails is speaking to men in a pretentious downturn. 9% of Americans earn 6 figures and he basically shames you as if you are failing as a man if you don't accomplish this. I've earned well above that but would never talk down to a man who doesn't. Many studies have shown that a single male that earns $70,000 isn't going to have a better quality of life earning more. His mindset on FU money is misplaced. I can see where it stems. He has the same personality. When you speak Rich your words should come from a place of reality that can be applied to the majority of men. Not just your lived reality. The one thing I find throughout his videos and mindset is applying to the angry, hurt, and jaded men. This will get views and subscribers but will not lead these men of all ages to a place of balance.

[@HouseofGausss]

Truer words have never been spoke.... THIS, THIS is exactly what I was thinking when I watched this video. Thanks a ton for saying this, god bless you.

[@phoqueewe7230]

@@HouseofGausss the other thing he spoke of was TRT testosterone replacement therapy. He was misleading again. This will not make you look fabulous and solve depression amd other issues unless it is a direct result of that. It definitely helps. But it's not a magic potion. You have to put in the work. It's not steroids. With steroids you can get results literally doing nothing. And the spray vs the pill. I take the injection and do it myself. Injections are the best. Side effects, increased blood pressure, sleep issues, high red blood cell count, bloating, etc... you have to be monitored and either donate blood or have it drawn from your doctor. He makes it sound like what I call unicorn theory. I really feel he likes the sound of his own voice regardless of the misinformation, lack of information, and toxic language.

It's all about "niche-ing." Any content creator worth his salt finds the demographic that's their background and they identify with and run with it. He was that angry, hurt, jaded guy. He says so. Maybe he still is, who knows. In the online world you can't be all things to all people, in this case, all men. There would be no way to differentiate yourself and it would be bland, very basic stuff. As a result, he would lose money, or at least not make as much. It's all about marketing. Yes, he sometimes comes across as smug, condescending, etc. However, he does add value with what he has said here, and God knows it's needed by thousands of men.

He’s basics saying men should step up, become the leader of their own lives. It reminds me of Jordan Peterson... taking responsibility. It is all true. But this is how it should be, it is normal for men to be men, because they can be leaders, they are capable of taking control of their own lives... we used to know this. My question is , when did we lost this and how do we get it back? How do we teach our sons that working hard in their lives is a good thing... change the “victim” mentality? How do we teach our sons that working hard for themselves is exactly what they are supposed to do ..? There are lots of words coming to mind right now ... proud, strong, independent, confident.. yeah Wishing everybody all the best Thank you for this , we need it

Women wanted independence. They got it. It screwed the entire system. The dating market. The job market. The family. Churches. ALL screwed. Why? Started about 60 years ago.... also became exasperated by the internet and birth control

[@marilenabucataru9968]

@@yme3267 “Independence “ ... it is a very hazy term ; what is that ? Is it being capable to live by yourself? Ok, we can do that , checked. Do we want to live by ourselves? No family.. no children? No husband? Then ok .. it’s all good But how do we get independent and in a relationship in the same time? There’s the trick. The idea would be, even if you are capable to be independent and not needing anybody to live your life (capable to be self sufficient) which was the idea to begin with; even then, to CHOOSE to get into a relationship with another human being, it is a choice we make . Then we need to respect, appreciate, help each other be what they’re supposed to be. It takes strength and generosity. Being a good human being takes strength, and we need to acknowledge that. We constantly learn , adapt, understand what it takes to fix the screwed up system. And then we need to be honest enough to start fixing it. It will take good people to speak up. With conviction and generosity. Both , conviction of what truth is , and generosity, giving “peace” between man and woman a chance. I think we can do it and we will. Question is when and with how much pain and suffering. I would think as little as possible, no sacrificed generations if we can , thank you very much. But ... we need to work together Good people Regardless of what we are , men or women We need to respect the truth and say it And I think we will All the best !!

A false equivalance that has arisen of late (perhaps it has always been) is that of leader and commander. A leader has a vision and forges their own path towards that vision, inspiring other to follow them along the way. A commander is obeyed by virtue of status e.g. you do what your boss tells you in work because that is what you are paid to do. You don't do what your boss tells you outside of work. This false equivalance has, in my opinion, degraded the notion of leadership in the comtempory context, mocking individual risk and enterprise. It places saftey in the herd above individual risk, and the status of command as superior to that of the leaders path as status in the herd is collective. ' How do we teach our sons that working hard for themselves is exactly what they are supposed to do ..? '. In my view, the repetition of Rich's line 'Women don't care about your struggles...'. A lot of a boy's/young man's mental energy is spent on women, and this line sets one free from this wasteful expenditure (as it has helped free me at 37 years old). Knowing that noone really cares is liberating, and in my opinion would help boys/young men forge their own paths, as if they know noone cares then they need not humble themselves to those that care not. And would help to free them from the idea that a commander is a leader.

I was rudely awakened by some of the insights. I’m a heavy single mom. I am absolutely not interested in dating anyone while I’m a mother. I want to just focus on raising my children and then when they’re up and out of my house I can go and enjoy my time with men. Possibly a man. I don’t know yet. I could absolutely understand some of those boundaries that he put up. And for a little while I got really angry but at the end of the day I have a son. And I don’t want him to spend his life miserable. I want him to enjoy his life and bring people into his life that support him. I would never want him being played or dragged around by some woman. I want him to be protected as a father, as a businessman, as a human and as a gentleman. So, I agree with you. I appreciate your hard truth. You really made some good points there. I’m happy to see that there are men who are drawing boundaries for themselves, are learning how to protect themselves their finances in their futures. And they’re focusing on things that bring them joy and they’re doing it through excellence. I love what you’re saying. Good job! Not that my opinion matters but I just wanted to say that.
