[@FlameLFH]

Selling a fake overpriced 'masculinity shortcut' to guys who are likely going through problems in life is so exploitative and dishonest. While masculinity is important, it requires a lot of discipline to achieve. Therefore, because people are different, it shouldn't 100% dictate what defines men as men (at least in my opinion). Jack dug his own grave by defining himself as something he wasn't.

[@IchNachtLiebe]

I agree with that. Although there are generalities that can be applied to what a man should be (strong, capable, willing to analyze a situation before acting) those generalities can manifest in a lot of different ways. Some people work out, some people seek financial status, some people sacrifice everything they have to help others. For example, if a man jumped on a grenade to save a school of children he'd likely spend the rest of his life physically weak living off a disability check but that one moment defined and embodied his manhood. I think that true compassion and strength is built off of what we're willing to risk losing to help others. I don't think it makes you a man just to work out but if you work out specifically to make yourself more capable of protecting those around you it is a manly action.

[@SleepyMatt-zzz]

One thing I've learned in life is that if a solution to a personal problem (like exercising, mental health or acting masculine) requires cash, it's probably a scam.

[@sigmaboost3000]

There is also a hidden intellectual dishonesty about selling yourself as "big dick energy high test alpha macho man" when in reality you're preying on vulnerable people, like they subtly admit to the fact thar they cannot genuinely compete with wits or skill because they don't actually have them so they settle for far less, completely counter to whar they're supposed to be.

[@joaogarcia6170]

@@disappointedoptimist255 yep, life is fundamentally suffering because the natural condition of man is of absolute destitution, thus we labor so we can live reasonably comfortable lives and not become a parasite on others therefore creating wealth. Labouring leaves little time to hobbies so it's more of a consequence than a necessity, but my perspective is, especialize, work hard, find something that people will pay for, be savvy with your money, put together a good retirement fund and live the kind of life you want after. Of course this is just a rough estimation, but it's in the lines of what i believe, you shouldn't give up all fun but have enough to keep battling effectively.

@Sean M yep.

[@thevocatiousunspeakables709]

Being a man isn't about not caring. It's about only caring about what is truly important in your life, which will be different for everybody

[@rasputozen]

"Being a man" really just translates to "have others respect you." Who's respect do you care about? If no one's then you'll do whatever you want. If it's someone or some group instead then they'll be your daddy and you'll jump through little hoops to please them.

[@the11382]

There's hardly anything masculine about being uncaring.

[@wojak-sensei6424]

Masculinity isn't something you have to meditate over. Being a "real man" shouldn't be so hard for people. Stoicism, discipline, honor, integrity, that's not accessible for a few hundred dollars. Like all intangibles, it's from within. Being at peace with yourself and owning up to your past is what you need to do to be a real person. Not man or woman, just a healthy human being. Good male role models are a lost art. Don't try to make it a commodity.

[@gownerjones]

Compassion, too.

[@crowofrevelry]

"Meditate" in the Bhuddist sense, maybe not, but those things-integrity, honor, discipline et al-take effort to instill and rarify. They're part of a method, not the end result, and if one strays from them it takes contemplation to figure out what happened and correct it.

[@wojak-sensei6424]

@@gownerjones "Fairness" is more like it. You don't want to be that dad who'd ground your kid because you were a big ol' grump. Both compassion and fairness do need the same quality: understanding. Understand your kid, and the world in general, and apply it to a solid system of justice and morality. You are your child's first impression of authority, and so you want your child to properly function based on a rule system that is both just and understanding.

[@shadowstar7388]

I learned masculinity the hard way. My mother was single until I was 7, then my step dad was a hyper masculine abusive Christian fundamentalist. So I moved in with my grandma at age 13. My friends were goths, emos, punks, metal heads, and street kids. I learned to reject authority, cover up for other people's crimes, and drown my feelings with drugs and alcohol. But then I ended up homeless, and eventually in jail. I had to fend for myself. I had to toughen up or get bullied. So I toughened up. But I still didn't know how to be a man, because I didn't understand personal responsibility. Until I wanted to get off the drugs. It soon became clear that I either grow up, or stay stuck in addiction. I chose to grow up. I'm still learning. But I've kept a healthy relationship with the same woman for 3 years, I pay my rent and bills, I take care of my cat. I know I have a long ways to go. But being a man to me means facing your problems head on, being assertive when people try to step on you, standing up for what you stand for, and protecting those who are more vulnerable than you. But these traits could easily apply to a woman and it wouldn't take away her femininity. So what makes me distinctly masculine is my personality traits. What makes me a man is what makes anyone a responsible adult. I hope that makes sense.

[@juliantheapostate8295]

But his "claim" that he warned Sydney? If he did, I didn't catch that, either. It was too subtle. When someone else asked the same thing later on, he SHOULD have said "Asked and answered" or "I already answered that" or something equivalent. It was his HUGE overreaction that started this whole thing. Everybody watching basically just thought "What the hell just happened???" and then felt the need to find out!

I find it hillarious how so many of these "alpha gurus" online keep saying "don't play video games" or don't do X. Most likely they have hobbies as well (watching sports, fixing cars, whatever), don't do your hobby because it is not as alpha as mine is the equivalent of 5 year olds arguing about who's dad is stronger. So alpha...

[@amns8900]

I think video games are fine as long as they don't eat into time for other things. As an old man, I get why my dad was so against games when I was young. Playing video games is fine as long as you still make time to exercise, cook healthy meals, and find extra sources of income. I wasted a lot of time playing games in college and "didn't have time" for things like working out or picking up an extra shift at work. I still play about two hours a week, but I spend more time working out and researching crypto and ETFs to invest in. My new hobbies are also good sources of exercise (competitive shooting, hiking, and snowboarding). I always had time for these things, but games got in the way. That was my fault, not the fault of the games though. Sort of like living in a legal weed state. A little probably won't hurt you, but make sure it doesn't become an addiction.

Anyone who says "In order to be a REAL MAN you need to throw away your hobbies, likes, personality, and anything else that makes you weak in the eyes of others" Is in the complete and total thrall of the opinions of other people. That is a sad existence, and I don't think "Real men" spend much time caring about how other people perceive them, at least not more than how they perceive themselves. It's like the old saying goes "A real man doesn't drink his coffee black, he drinks it however he pleases" The phrase "Sigma male" Comes to mind but that's also been turned into a buzzphrase coping mechanism.

To summarize most masculine channels or coaches: 1. Will tend to talk about self-betterment with the end goal of sex. 2. Will tend to place pictures of attractive women in their thumb nails. 3. Will tend to promote a product of some kind which costs way too much. 4. Will not make you a better moral man, instead more of a hedonist. If you wish to know the steps to being a man: 1. Seek constant self-improvement, towards a defined end goal. I'm a Christian, so my end goal is to be like Christ. 2. Pick yourself up when you fall off the path. 3. Know when to give up and start something else. 4. For further information, read "IF" by Rudyard Kipling.

“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis

[@bemusedmusician807]

Great quote, Commenting to please the algorithm

[@TheGreenKnight500]

Not always a fan of C. S. Lewis, but that's pretty based. Masculinity and maturity are two of those things that you damage the more you try to force them. There are several different men out there I consider examples of what it means to be a good man. They differ greatly in their hobbies and beliefs, but what they all have in common is honesty, strong principles, and the wisdom to know when and when not to show vulnerability. By not clinging to some sort of superficial aesthetic of what a "big manly man" is, you actually become a lot harder to tear down.

Jack Murphy is exactly the kind of person you should not get advice from. Because his views and actions are inconsistent and he avoids the inconsistency instead of clarifying it. Many mocked Peterson for failing to live up to his own standards, and he acknowledged it. Murphy just exploded on his interlocutors. Being inconsistent happens. Dodging one's inconsistency, however, is just wrong. And you can give advice on being a strong and dominant man while being thin skinned and liking what Murphy likes, unless you admit you failed your own standard.

This video really hit a surprisingly deep and impactful point. This will be a long comment so totally get if you don't read it, it's more cathartic for me. The start of this video is standard Jack Drama commentary. I've everyone talk about this but you tend to have interesting takes that I enjoy from time to time. However, you hit the nail on the head with the ending with the Man-o-sphere movement doing what I describe as wishing to be a robot. I'm dyslexic and consistent productivity is a struggle for me. I can work it large spirts but the day to day is crippling to me, explains a bit why I was so terrible in school and college. I wished so much to be a robot, waking up early, immediately being productive, and working hard until the end of the day. Where from working so hard I'd be satisfied and pass out just to do it again. I blamed a lack of will power, I was too weak. So I thought like working out I just needed to strengthen this mental muscle until I was a literal machine. I joined the Marine Corp for many reasons but one of them was the hope they would turn me into a productive successful robot. I was the closest to my robot ideal right after boot camp. I still do believe boys should push past their limits finding what they can achieve when they put everything into bettering yourself. You will never know you Limits until you push past them again and again. However there is a fundamental downside to all this hyper productive hyper masculine taking the world on your shoulders mentality. You are painfully fragile, like a diamond you feel strong and invulnerable, but hit the right point or the right frequency and you shatter into dust. One small event in my Career in the Marine Corp shatter my trust so overwhelmingly it took me 5 years to dig myself out of the pit of despair I fell into. As a "Man" you need to find balance, hobbies give your brain relief allow you to refocus and improve, when traumatic moments hit you, you are so rigid and immovable you break, instead like a palm tree you flex and roll with the punches.

[@crazyhans]

I've been there too bro, one of the biggest things I've come to terms with over the past few years is that I'm not productive in the "normal", plink away at something for 8 hours then do it again tomorrow, way. I used to think I was just stupid/lazy for not being able to work like that, and ran myself ragged chasing after it. After working in the professional space for a while I've realised that my typical workflow is bursts of intense productivity followed by being unable to focus, but I'm still getting the same amount of work done as my co-workers who go at a steady pace through the day. The biggest thing for me has been to just remind myself that it's okay to have prolonged unproductive time as long as I still get everything done and meet my deadlines; I earn the "slacking off" in exchange for working 4-6 hours hyper-focused and on task. Naturally there's a fine line there between procrastination and recovery, but everyone has to work through that regardless of their personal workflow.

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly.

In the same way that incels define themselves by their lack of masculinity, and female validation, PUAs define themselves by their self-proclaimed masculinity, and female validation. Only someone very concerned about such things would do that; an actually confident man doesn't, since he's not constantly questioning himself. Just as you described, this is something I had to learn through habit. I can't help but remember one time when I would regularly sit near a guy who was kind of a simp. He spoke quite loudly, so I'd inevitably hear his conversations. One day he was trying to make a move on a woman talking about how he'd learned that women are attracted to confident, and assertive guys, and how and why that is.

[@kateshiningdeer3334]

@@TheSunderingSea While I would GENERALLY agree with you on that, I have to somewhat disagree because of two SPECIFIC things - "Grind" is something you do in video games, and also part of the phrase "the daily grind", so if you grew up with either gaming (back in the days when grinding was real) or in a family who used the phrase, you may think in that way yourself. I also disagree about "side hustle", as this is often used to describe a "second job" that is different in type than your first one. In SFO's case, you could describe THIS channel as his "work", and the gaming channel as his "side hustle", because he DOES get some money from streaming it, but it's not his primary means of support. You often see women, in particular, refer to their "side hustle" when they either work "a regular job" (in whatever field) during work hours or are stay-at-home moms (which really IS a full-time job, whether modern society sees it that way or not.) Both of these groups tend to either sell something (like clothing, candles, or kitchen equipment) in their "off hours" or blog or make crafts or craft patterns to bring in extra cash. In both cases, the phrase "side hustle" is legitimate because it really IS "beside" their regular job, and isn't the primary means of income earning, but IS a supportive means to make extra money. This is especially true of "creative types" who need that outlet for their creativity anyway.

I also don’t think these guys understand that being the leader of the pack means you bleed first when danger comes. Definitely not yelling at a lady without explaining yourself.

[@horatiusromanus]

Running around reminding people you are “alpha” is a sure sign you aren’t. Pretending “alpha” is actually a thing is a sure sign you don’t know how to be a man. Whatever happened to being a gentleman and honorable individual?

Huh 50 years of Feminism and 39 years of Inflation at it's highest. Let's not forget that the last time more men graduated from College than women was oh 1982. Oh well Feminism has consequences and right now we have 3 generations of both men and women who have no idea how to raise a family where raising a family is the most expensive in 100 years.

MGTOW and Feminism are two sides of the same coin. Blaming the other side for their shortcomings.

[@kateshiningdeer3334]

@@cursedcancersurvivor Yeah, if both sides would just try the totally never-before-heard idea of "Being Responsible For Your Actions", both would disappear overnight.

10:40 I think what a lot of these types miss is that yes, masculine figures do tend to give these things up, but only because they are fathers and no longer have as much time for their hobbies. And even then, they don't give up on all of those things. Only some. It's way more nuanced than something being "childish". It's more about moderation. If you're a dad and skipping out on helping your kids with something to play video games, there's obviously a problem. But if you're a dad and you spend some time playing games with the kids, what's the difference between that and watching a movie with them or something like that? It's all a balancing act. There are definitely men out there who go overboard with their hobbies, but quitting those hobbies entirely isn't the answer. The answer is moderation.

"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." --C. S. Lewis The reason why comments like the tweet referenced in the video don't bother me either? Because this quote represents one of my philosophies. Being "grown up" or manly does not mean you must put away childish things, or shirk away from the effeminate. It simply means you should be moderate; as the saying goes: Moderation in all things, even moderation.

Wait, so the guy whose handle is "I, Hypocrite," who said, "...People wouldn't get so extremely pressed if this wasn't touching on something," gets buttmad when someone points out he used to be an average consoomer? Holy fuck, this is an inescapable vortex of irony. Can this guy please come up with an even more insecure response? I think we could really break some new ground here if he can take it a step further.

[@AngelicusEXperiment]

In other threads on this video, I've been describing that guy's masculinity as a paper fortress. And he's so afraid of it being knocked over, because his only real defense for those paper walls and the cardboard foundation is the trebuchet. So he goes full YEET mode when the slightest perceived threat comes into view. That's how he responded to SFO.

Anyone trying that hard to be 'manly' is clearly overcompensating for deep-seated feelings of inadequacy.
