Summary

Talking points: social media, masculinity, culture, the manosphere You know the type. The conflict-focused, disrespectful bastions of non-matured masculinity. All loudly promising—if only you follow their framework—the secret to making millions and having your own harem. I get a lot of asks to weigh on this. Specifically, what makes these guys so popular. Here are my thoughts. (00:00:00) - Intro and what I grew up with (00:03:39) - The feeling of virility and reckless certainty is understandable, but it has a cost. (00:07:49) - If I were 19, I’d get the appeal (00:10:05) - Men with actual status aren’t out there selling you status, and the formula these guys use (00:14:55) - We need to pull back and ask who we’re actually listening to (00:17:54) - It’s hard to find real elders; harder to listen *** Men, the next Men's Weekend is VERY soon. Join us in California for a transformative journey of reclamation. Pick up my book, Men's Work: A Practical Guide To Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, And Find Freedom: https://mantalks.com/mens-work-book/ Check out some free resources: How To Quit Porn | Anger Meditation | How To Lead In Your Relationship Build brotherhood with a powerful group of like-minded men from around the world.

So it seems like some of you have noticed that there's this trend in rising, terrible internet male gurus, these guys that are like very combative.

0:19.5

They seem to be angry all the damn time. Like it doesn't seem to

0:22.9

be any other emotion other than anger. And they seem to be telling young men like, I'll teach you

0:28.3

how to be rich and I'll teach you how to get more puss and I'll teach you how to be a Sigma or an

0:33.6

alpha male or you two can drive a Bugatti and cruise around in your Audi just like me,

0:39.3

if only you follow my framework.

0:43.4

This internet male guru for me is the quintessential rise that happens amongst young men

0:51.7

when there are no elders present.

0:54.8

When a type of mature masculinity has vacated the cultural conversation to such a detrimental

1:02.0

degree that what rises to the top as a male role model to teach men is this kind of

1:09.9

youthful, adolescent, angry, hostile version of what it

1:17.0

means to be a man, lacking mostly in grounding, limitations, endings, boundaries,

1:24.5

respect for others, most specifically women. And yet, these guys seem to be getting

1:31.2

a ton of attention. I can't tell you how many times I go through my comments on YouTube and see

1:36.9

comments from you guys that are like, I can't believe your channel isn't bigger. And I hope that,

1:41.5

you know, a million soon and stuff like that. And while I appreciate

1:44.2

the love and respect and we just hit 80,000, which is incredible, what I've come to realize is that

1:49.2

there, there's a real big gap in the market for very grounded conversations around what it

1:56.1

means to be a man. And there's a gap because of a few things. Number one, it's not sexy and exciting.

2:02.6

It's not inflammatory. It doesn't trigger you internally. It doesn't cause you to have some,

2:08.8

like, yeah, I got to go to fight. I got to go to battle. This is the definition of adolescent
