You should NEVER have a wife and kid because they are a necessity towards your happiness, no. That co dependency. You should only have a wife and child to ENRICHEN your life, make it better. Not be the sole purpose of having a family.

I've decided to quit alcohol for good and improve drastically on living my life more purposeful. I think you should add two things to the list. 1. Sobriety is a must 2. Emotionally heal yourself before moving on this path: inner child work. My dad was emotionally absent and I projected him onto my "friends". I noticed that, who I call friends, are just drinking buddies. They are alcoholics. That realization opened my eyes. I have good male friends that barely drink. I can deeply connect with them.

The macro cycle(800-1200 years): Hard times create patriarchy(where rights are dependent on responsibilities, since men usually take more responsibilities than women this system is described as patriarchy) Patriarchy creates good times Good times creates feminism(equal rights independent of responsibilities) Feminism burns everything down, creating hard times...

Women's hiearchy of needs: 1 Equality of Opportunity 2 Equality of Outcome 3 Equality of Authority 4 Equal Authority with no Responsibility 5 All the Authority with no Responsibility for the women, with all the Responsibilities & no Authority for the man or men(especially sexual Responsibilities & Authorities). A tyrant has 100% authority with 0% responsibility. A slave has 100% responsibility with 0% authority. Today marriage, as redefined by the female democratic majority and family court system, makes the man a slave to a tyrant wife, who can divorce him at will, stealing his children, his wealth, and his human dignity. All womens natural unregulated desire is to have sex with high status bad bad boys & get innocent men to pay for the responsibility consequences(abortions, kids ect.). That's why women, no matter how meritocratic, should never vote. Women want equal rights authority to make all the decisions in their own life when the bad boy sexual opportunity is there. Its when accountability & responsibility slowly begin to fall on them that women want to shift responsibility back over to innocent men. This process of forcing innocent men to pay for the bad sexual choices of most women & and a few extraordinary men is the foundation of left wing politics. Women want to sit at the poker table of the socio-sexual market place & make bets & authorize promises in the hundreds of thousands in reproductive costs when they can only actually back up a few pennies worth of responsibility. If women CAN'T take responsibility for a authorization, then they CAN'T have equal authority/rights as the guy who can. Show me a man who takes by force what he wants from women and I'll show you 100 women who vote to take by force what they want from men. Show me a grave created by patriarchy and Ill show you an entire graveyard created by feminism/communism.

One area of impulse control that I have found to be important and productive is to control what you say out loud. This would apply to texts on social media even knowing there is little immediate or personal risk from essentially anonymous comments. In the work world or in real life though you will benefit by not always saying the first thing that enters your head. Impulses come with a physical sensation of tension that you can learn to recognize and use as a signal to stop, slow down, and reconsider your reaction to whatever is happening right now.

Ten years ago, I saw the shift to put women in control was in full swing. Five years ago I was watching it play out, with no direction. Feminism brought about man-bashing and men losing thier direction. People with mental health issues living off of others, no accountability. Two years ago, as we repaired after covid, everything is a disaster. Women who could be counted on for service or help are now all working from home, letting their kids sit in front of screens all day. No one has any ambition, life has been stripped from your young men. And now I see more videos like this. There's a growing shift back to what works. Men supporting men, so many great advice channels. Keep up the great work.

I’m 57. I’ve followed much of what is discussed in this video, but I would say, it was mostly by accident and not as deliberate as I should have. That said, this is an excellent summation and framework for success. I have been trying to show my boys this (leadership by example). They are kinda stumbling through this also, eventually coming to the same realizations. As far as having the right men in one’s life, I would say this is absolutely a necessity. My dad guided and sometimes pushed me in the right direction. In the military, there were many who set a great example. I still work with phenomenal people, but I will say that the number of close male relationships has dwindled as I am more selective with those I spend my time with. But I still have many buddies, guys who I still consider brothers, who I can go without seeing for 30 years, and when we get together it is as if not a day had gone by, except we all look old now.

I found your channel tossing and turning last night. I'm a 31 year old autistic NEET with ADHD & disabling subclinical issues. Every day is a hellish experience without some kind of regulating mechanism. Wim Hof and breath holds get me out of bed. Daily running and gym consistency keep my physical body in the top .01% of men my age. However, the despair still persists. And much of it is environmental. Inability to "able" myself in my world of disabling mental conditions. People that aren't autistic will generally have good intentions and do their best to encourage me, but in the end, it's a subtle form of gaslighting. My neurotype doesn't fit the hussle culture no matter what I do without an understanding of my limitations. But there really is some solid advice in here for all men, and this is exactly what I needed this morning. Thank you!

Grind it out alone till you find good friends. Lastly end with a prayer and bible indicators about anything that is challenging during your journey . Chase it and have a prosperous new year .

I resonate with most of what you shared here. Although something that makes me scratch my head is how man supposed to make time for all this ? I mean men have jobs or run businesses, some have families to take care of, keeping up with bills and appointments, some men are job hunting which takes time, personal development, going to gym, taking courses and by the end of the day say 9pm you're knackered and you supposed to have time to make friends, and when you have friends you supposed to make time for girlfriend. I mean we all have 24 hours and each one of us needs at least 7 hours of sleep, right ? Yes it is true that men used to have more close friends but also it is because life wasn't as demanding as it is today. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also when you spoke about disconnect from sense of wonder and awe. I think it's pretty difficult to enjoy little things in life when you see struggling single mom making ends meet or a man job hunting and getting rejected even for jobs he's overqualified for. You get to enjoy stars on the sky or different smells of flowers when you're not drowning in problems.
@donteo508 Жыл бұрын
As for your first statement: I don't think you're actually meant to do all this in one day, just maintain things one day at a time. Divide the tasks you need to complete into daily chunks and it's a lot easier to think about AND get done at the same time. Life has definitely changed the name of the game. You don't necessarily need close friends to survive in a survival sense, but socially speaking, it is very helpful. People have given me job offers just because they liked me and my friendliness while working at my current job, and while I sometimes turn them down on it, I still like to build the connection so the door is always open. The last part is a little harder to deal with depending on your station in life and honestly, I don't really have what I would consider a sufficient answer to how to deal with a disconnect in fun factor in life.

Get brave and start educating yourself about money. Avoid the folks who tell you they can help you get rich quick or show you how to game the system. Managing (or preferably avoiding) debt and budgeting for emergencies and the future are the important things to learn. Learn about bad debt vs "good debt" and understand that good debt can still get you into big trouble and take care no matter how much cash the bank wants to stuff into your pockets in order to buy your future earnings.

In my experience by far the most valuable Lesson is not to focus on your personal ambitions, but rather on the collective. Life is not about optimizing yourself and achieving financial success, but about getting in touch with your feelings and feel the living beings around you. Focussing on yourself only will lead you to feeling alone, growing together is what will give you a deep satisfaction and this will enable us to grow as living beings.

When a religious person is miserable, they will have many kids and raise them to be as miserable as themselves.

At a recent 30-year high school reunion everyone was standing up stating their names and gushing over their occupations. Several men stood up postering. I'm a successful lawyer, banker, doctor, etc...and have traveled the world twice over. Then one bashful, lanky guy stands up and says, "Most of you won't remember me. I never played sports, didn't belong to any clubs, and wasn't very popular mostly because of working through my school days to help my family out. I own and operate my own mobile pressure-washing business now and have a wife with 3 kids. There was audible laughter. He turned a shade of bright red and quietly sat back down. Then he slowly stood back to his feet and said, "I don't know if any of you noticed but there's only one brand new limited edition Corvette parked out in the parking lot. It belongs to me and It's paid in full...so is my house I owe no one anything." For a moment or two, you couldn't hear a church mouse licking lard...then there was a roar from hands clapping from all around him excluding those who had mocked him in the first place. Be careful of who you laugh at. I had a friend in banking tell me that most of the people in the biggest houses in gated communities with fancy cars and country club memberships were so upside down they would never be able to right the ship. Then there were tradesmen of the area that were the silent millionaires twice over. The plumbers, welders, car detailers, bricklayers, and many other men who use their hands to make a living are all getting in the last laugh. Society has it all upside down and looks can always be deceiving. Who is stable and happy and who is really stable and happy? It's all one, big, fat shiny illusion.
