He reiterated this point really nicely on the Jocko podcast: 'dangerous, but disciplined'. In my estimation, and as I explained to my wife, boys will be boys, and it's necessary to be a boy, to properly become a man, and one first has to become a man, to be a gentleman. That is inclusive of all the rough, rowdy, harsh, intense and crude aspects along the way, but as one matures into manhood, all of that is able to be kept in check and controlled by the man's intelligence, maturity, self control, and sense of responsibility and patience. That, is what makes a man. No amount of manners or etiquette can replace the raw power of the male nature. Then, it's just a matter of finding a woman who can counter balance that.

BUT- you always choose the right way of doing it. And the way that makes justice. Never step on anyone.

[@3L3CTR0static]

I grew up being told by my mom, my sister all my female friends and family that I should be a nice well behaved guy with women. Be a real gentleman etc. Growing up without a father I wish Jordan would have told me this before. Some day I realized what women really want and think and my entire world and logic collapsed. It was always there, the evidence was always in front of me but the beautiful lie I was educated on was just too logical for me to not meet reality. Women like the alpha male who just thinks and does what he wants to a healthy limit. No women craves a nice well educated “yes my darling” guy, at least most don’t and the most attractive one’s even less. I’m not saying women are some sort of masochistic creature but they do like the tough bad guy with a good heart. It took me 15 years to realize that. Once you realize that an entire world opens to you, it’s fascinating how humans behave and I wish somebody would have told me the truth earlier...

[@PFFFFFFFFFFFFV]

i feel you man ! Same here , i realized the same waaaaaaaaaaaaay too late in my life ( i'm 25.... i did open my mind about this topic just 2/3 years ago ) . when i understood the real nature of all women , my whole prospective got crushed by simple logic. Man , was it harsh ?! bloody yes. Am i free now ? FUCK YES.

well please don't take this as an insult or anything in that sort of way. I do not know you personally so I can't judge you but there is one thing that you said is absolutely out of my common sense and logical thinking. That thing you mentioned I have seen sooo many times (luckily never happened to me) which is the action of "friendzoning" a man. I do understand that things need to be clear if there is no interest in a romantic relationship because I myself had to explain this to a couple of girls as well. The REAL problem comes when explaining the situation but still wanting all the benefits of a man who is trying to enter a romantic relationship, which in my eyes resembles mental abuse. If you explained the situation to him and did not take advantage in any way of him, well then well done I just hope it didn't was the other way.

This 1000%. More men need to hold women to the same standard they hold us to. Its likely not going to happen anytime soon, but baby steps.

[@David-lx4yb]

@klaus Exactly right. Why would any man want Miss Wrong? Miss Right absolutely will bring something to the table other than just her physical self, as I will as well. And she had better bring her A-Game when we meet and impress me, because I will be on my A-Game for her to see and judge - and I don't accept anything other than her best efforts when I'm showing her mine. I view lack of effort as simply insulting. I expect a woman to have standards to which she expects me to meet, and I have no problem with that. However, she had better be able to meet her exact standards with me, and maybe more when my standards are added in. A woman without standards, or unable to meet her own standards that she sets on men, is not worth the time and effort.

How many of them are afraid to talk to a person? It all comes down to the Laws of Nature. Every action causes a reaction. You want a reaction(love, start a bussiness, save money), so you have to make an action(talk to people, come up with a solution, stop spending). It is possible to get a job without calling anybody, but the likehood of such thing happening is slim. It works the other way too. Start a hundred of bussiness and at least some of them will succeed.

“Harmless and good are not the same thing at all.” Interesting. Never looked deeper into that concept. I always assumed that!

I used to watch Jordan’s videos occasionally...and always loved what he said.....but lately I’ve been binge watching him.....his students are lucky to have him.

[@mustacheglasses5765]

Amazing that a man who doesn't call himself a Christian has a better idea of who Jesus was than most folks who do call themselves Christian. Jesus wasn't harmless. He wasn't a "nice" guy. C.S. Lewis described Jesus allegorically in his book 'The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe" when the children asked if Aslan was safe. Mr. Beaver's reply was to essentially say "safe?! No. But He's good." Most folks who see Jesus as that harmless Mr. Nice Guy haven't spent more than five minutes reading the gospels. Or go to Revelation... He's coming back on a white charger with a sword coming out of His mouth and blood on His robe. He's coming back leading an army to destroy all of His enemies. That's not very nice.

[@GumtreeRoadResins]

@Ben Daulton Jesus definetly not nice' he could have pancaked Jerusalem with 12 legions of angels and utterly destroy everyone, however he chose not to. And next time he's coming it sais to slaughter everyone who is not His. That is not nice. That is utterly brutal. And our king brother.

[@fabolousninenine30]

Ben Daulton He was so passive, he literally WHIPPED the Pharisees out of the Temple & flipped tables. Educate yourself first before making yourself look like a fool.

[@milacruz3970]

He's catholic I think. And Aslan is more of a representation of the christian God as he created their world.

Wow, this is eye opening truth that I never thought of. Women (or people in general) don't want someone who is harmless like a rabbit, but rather a person who is capable of harm but exercise the restraint to be harmless, like a vegetarian lion.

The idea that people believe they are moral because they are incapable of violence pertains to wealth as well. So many people of lower socioeconomic status believe millionaires and billionaires are evil/morally corrupt; simply because they are incapable of obtaining that kind of wealth themselves.

Jesus had strange priorities. He should have let Martha carry on with the housework (but I suppose that in itself marks her as someone who knows the value of hard work - and makes her someone you'd want to talk to), but in context, he just wanted to preach to her. He's generally a good guy, but he does some really weird things to spread the word of god.

[@zihuatanejo8933]

Your analysis of the Greek from Matthew 5 is correct and important. On the basis of mistranslations, many wrong notions have been put forward in the name of Christianity, when in fact the gospel was quite different.

I live in resent because i chose to be good and worry about upsetting others, so i kept comments to myself and i didnt speak up. Now i resent and i learned From J. B. Peterson to speak up and be truthful. Since i came forward and i addressed to other people the things i was unhappy about - i thought id of upset them, but i ended up being respected because i just spoke up in a civilised manner while keeping the monster within under control. Jordan Peterson has helped me alot and his book 12 rules for life is a good book to read and i own both the book and the audio. Thank you Mr Peterson
