The video talks about the facts enlisted below:What a stupid video.
1. Lazy guys aren't attractive.
2. One's mental health is significantly influenced by their achievements.
3. The dating market is skewed and most men do not even get acknowledged, let alone receive intimacy and love.
4. Most men do not take a conscious, long term effort to become attractive and to improve various aspects of their life.
5. Indulging in instant gratification activities like social media diminishes your attention span and makes you less ambitious.
6. Your work is your contribution to the world. You should try to maximize your capability in doing so.
7. If one indulges in deep work, they can produce something they are proud of.
This summarizes the entire video.
I would like you to highlight the specific points that are 'stupid' and we can have a discussion on each of them.
Hahaha. Okay.Life is NOT about being some sort of buffed out, alpha, go getter twat, who has the respect of his fellow men and the love of the ladies.
A buffed out isn't necessarily an alpha, and a go getter isn't necessarily a twat. Also, a life where one has the respect of his fellow men and the love of the ladies is certainly better than one without either of these, keeping all other factors equal.
Ummm... "What in the living fresia are people subjecting themselves too, lol."I swear to god, the internet just wants you to punch yourself in the dick and call it good.
It is sad and shameful that most men live their limited, precious thing called life without even realizing their true potential, wasting their youth in gaming and pornography and then wondering what went wrong.Life, that precious thing we have a limited amount of, is varied.
The guy's entire story and message revolves around how he used to be a ****** bag in college who used to get the best girls and smoke all the time, but how it no way made his life better. His life got better when he quit that and drugs and started indulging in creative activities like writing, forming an aesthetic body/getting in good shape, practicing regular meditation, getting out of poverty, focusing on one woman to build a meaningful relationship with, building a YouTube channel with a huge influence, developing social and communication skills and forming a network of hard working and ambitious people. None of this contradicts your "explore, learn, create" message. Everyone's exploration is different, everyone's lesson is different, but the attitude and outlook one needs to get there or get started, is more or less, the same. That's the point!The goal in life isn't to be a ******* ****** bag. It's to explore, learn, create, love, and be amazed.
Masculinity is one of the consequences of adversity. One would not have to stand along the border if there was no enemy on the other side waiting to invade your country and slaughter your loved ones. One would not need to hunt for food, if cheeseburgers grew on trees.All this machismo comes from insecurity.
There is nothing wrong if a guy who has felt like a victim all his life, never received any intimacy, love and affection, tries to boost his morale and improve every aspect of his life that he possibly can. In fact, it is necessary.
Anyways, most women love masculine, charismatic, ambitious and attractive men. And most of it is built, not given by birth. And since most men do not do that, most women in the dating market are unfulfilled despite having an overwhelming bias towards them.
No beholder thinks that there is any beauty in the OPs original message. No beholder thinks that it is 'beautiful'.There's many tough challenges in life that will require strength; and some are stronger than others. But, I'm fairly certain, strength is quite a relative concept, along with many other things; just like the old saying, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder.'
However, if the OP changes his approach, he can get into a better place from where he is now. His mental health, his lifestyle, his career, his knowledge and skills, everything could improve a bit more, regardless of where it is now. And I challenge you that life wouldn't be 'worse' if the OP starts working on it on a consistent basis. It would be better. Then your proverb will hold more water for him.
Also, strength isn't really always physical strength. But most self-imp. messengers focus on it because it is relatively easier to start with, it gives you that momentum and your brain that positive feedback in the initial phase. Your body is the only real asset you own. It is often one of the best places to start with.
Ideal is the best defining vector. When one starts to work on something, they define an ideal outcome and try to work towards it. Its really that simple of a concept.It's funny, it used to be women, who were constantly subjected to ultra-unrealistic ideals of feminine beauty. They'd buy all the make-up they were supposed to, find the fashion that was fashionable, read the little articles about how to do this and that for your man.
And now men are doing the same thing.
When one starts playing chess, he looks at the best players of all time for inspiration like Tal or Carlsen or Anand, not the user DM644C_3 on lichess.org who has an ELO of 901.
When someone starts a business, he studies the most efficient and successful long term businessman he knows, not the kid selling lemonade for a few cents.
"Life is NOT about being some sort of buffed out, alpha, go getter twat, who has the respect of his fellow men and the love of the ladies"They let other men, tell them what it means to be a man, and try to measure up, this way and that way.
F that.
Anyways, the video at 3:17 literally tells that every man will want a different type of body for themselves. But overall, an athletic body is characterized by less body fat and more muscle mass.
Yep, its possible... who knows, I mean the video is over 5 minutes long!!!-actually watched more of the video-
Seems the guy may be somewhat well intentioned towards a specific audience... So, I may have misjudged.
That's his message. That's why he asks to stop activities of instant gratification and indulging in deep work towards whatever one is passionate about.but still.. The reason so many people feel so unfilled in a meaning less and pointless existence, is because the culture that dominates us is ******* horse crap.
It is certainly one of the good starts, yes. It will get you out of a lot of your non problems, if not all.I mean by all means, be healthy and successful. But, that's the trick isn't it?
